  1. Nah. I'm pretty sure Teo isn't on roids. ...but he thinks he is. He's been taking a placebo for years.
  2. I think I want to put my money on the trade down. However, Emery wants to take the BPA no matter position and I don't see him as the type to calculate how far down he can trade and still get his guy. I could envision a situation where he planned on trading down, but somebody dropped to him and he just couldn't resist the temptation to take that guy and figure out the other needs later.
  3. It's more like a couple hundred million per year, and yes, I'd have to assume there is. Live sports broadcasting is about the last cash cow television programming out there. I'm guessing it's mainly because sports are the main thing left where people actually watch commercials because they watch it live. plus it's something people actually are willing to pay for on their bill, and/or freak out about if the channel is unavailable. They don't call 'em fanatics for nothing.

  5. Prices in the bleachers have plateaued have they not? Plus, it's the bleachers, obstacles to a perfect view are the norm. Also, they aren't just throwing up new walls, they are creating new sources of revenue. They aren't just going to arbitrarily make changes that won't add revenue.
  6. He might be too tired after 3 games in 4 days. Maybe he'll have some sent in. I wonder how he's handling Kustok moving to Brooklyn.
  7. the other mock on the site has Te'o
  8. That reads like the complete opposite of every other American/European story ever written. Take a week off and you'll be left behind? Have more than 2 glasses of wine in Italy and you'll get the stink eye?
  9. While Callahan is known for being a royal a-hole, isn't Tim Brown a pretty surly dude himself? I agree that the timing is awfully strange.
  10. This is why I don't go to the Cubs Convention every year. You are surrounded by a majority people who do things like this and they also think we should still have Theriot/Fontenot as our SS/2B combo with Barney at 3B and Campana and Fuld manning the OF. umm, have you seen our current alignment?....just wondering Yes, it's better than it would be with those guys.
  11. Sooooo that's how it is in that family.
  12. The point is creative sources of revenue from an overly restricted plot of real estate. That is a mighty small price to pay. A whole bunch of seats at Wrigley have some sort of obstructed view. If you can't make it through a game without seeing the entire warning track for some reason, the bleachers aren't the place for you anyway.
  13. The expansion took place in 2005/06, the fight took place from like 2002-04
  14. I think you are over glorifying the LB position by a country mile. Also, 30-40 years ago it was much more important than it has been the past decade. Defensive backs and pass rushers have been more important in the modern era.
  15. Head coaches hire their staff. That doesn't make the bears stupid in the slightest Not always, and not when said head coach had a poor track record on that side of the ball. Its not like there was some urgency to lose the great Mike Tice that you wouldn't wait for the GM even if its the head coaches final say. Going into last year, it would have been totally reasonable to expect a OC decision to at least have heavy influence from the GM. For instance I highly doubt Trestman was the driving force behind Tucker, even if its ultimately his decision. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Head coaches hire the god damn staff

  17. What's the CFL coach count up to? 3 or 4?
  18. WHY ARE YOU STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT NOW WHEN WE KNEW THAT A VERY LONG TIME AGO?
  19. Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs #Bears hire Mel Tucker as defensive coordinator per @DanPompei so Raheem Morris won't be coming as DC.
  20. My initial thought when I saw his name earlier was that I saw his introductory press conference for the Tampa job and thought immediately he'd be a bust as a head coach. He's goofy. But he does have a solid history in the Tampa system, working under Kiffin, and should theoretically be able to maintain the status quo of the group. Without Kiffin, his defenses were pretty pathetic though.
  21. Paul Sullivan ‏@PWSullivan Cubs arb guys sign: Samardzija gets $2.64 mil and $125,000 in performance bonuses. Russell gets$1.075 mill.
  22. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Let's just hope he's still bitter toward ownership and this is his final protest.
  23. None of which is illegal. Um. True? Did someone say it was illegal? No, but reading between the lines, you guys are making it sound like he should be punished. He should be punished. I think we get a very tall man to take down his pants and make him walk down the street while everybody points and laughs at him. Have it be a tie-in with the NFL draft.
  24. He was a DC in Cleveland too. Yeah, looks like he was pretty good there too. Michael Wright was saying that he has experience coordinating both 3-4 and 4-3, so that if we did want to switch in the future, we could keep him around. I like that he's had some interim head coach duty as well. This staff needs some significant NFL experience added to it and not just with position coaches getting promotions.
