    It loses its impact when you realize the "front page" of the sports section is actually on page 11 of the business section of the NYT.

    Another view of the "blame Cutler" story http://deadspin.com/5974746/how-much-do-you-blame-jay-cutler-for-rgiiis-injury-was-an-actual-topic-of-conversation-on-sportsnation?post=56026603

    I cannot think of a single prominent "offensive mind" that is associated with the Billick coaching tree, despite him being a supposed offensive guru. The most notable one may be Mike Tice. There have been numerous solid coaches who worked under Cowher, including Arians.

    Not at all. The guy has been a non-entity on the coaching hunt for a while. wasn't his offense just throwing jump balls to moss and carter? pretty sure they weren't with him when he won a Superbowl in Baltimore... When his offense was "go let the defense play".

    A) Not everybody is ok giving Stewart another chance. Not even close to everybody, and it doesn't even seem like everybody. B) Stewart plays a competent 3B while LaHair is an oaf.

    It could mean lots of things, as Banedon just pointed out. I'd have no problem at all with Gruden, though. Actually he didn't point out anything. He just said he doesn't think he's the right guy, which sounds to me like some sort of gut instinct knee jerk reaction to the theory that he's a defensive minded blowhard of a coach or something. The Bears are interviewing several special teams coordinators, many coaches with no significant offensive play calling or planning history and even some defensive guys. Cowher was on board with the need for a passing offense in this league long before many other coaches wanted that. He's a legitimate head coach who we know isn't going to be overwhelmed by the job, like so many previous "hot coordinator types" have shown in the past. I understand why he may not be at the top of a list, but it's inexplicable why people flat out don't want him.

    Right there with you. Tight end cannot be prioritized as much as OL. There's been a new excuse every season why OL isn't prioritized and time ran out on those theories years ago.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    Yes because it's inconceivable (!) that Cowher can be a good coach again! :roll: Because not wanting him as the HC of the Bears means that we don't think he can be a good coach again. What the hell else could it mean? For the life of me I can't imagine why people are so set against the two of those guys. There's been a dozen worse names thrown into the ring during this search and maybe only a couple better ones.

    Other major sports are able to have content on other channels and still maintain their own specialized channels as well. With the sheer amount of soccer leagues, you'd think that soccer would be able to do the same. Isn't NBC Sports taking on a lot of futbol? Also, is there a Fox Sports 1? I thought Fox Sports was essentially what was on all the fox regional networks.

    Kate Upton and I have a mutual disagreement about whether or not we should be dating, but there's never been a formal offer either.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    It would make more sense for the lesser franchises to get to play Chicago and Detroit more often to sell more tickets. The Blackhawks don't need to play Detroit or STL to sell tickets.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Feel free, but it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to do that.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    It was a bad draft, and it was on Emery. He had plenty of time to be ready for the draft and didn't do a good job. But you can't blame him for Tice. That's Lovie's call.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Among the Eagles fans I know (a pretty large group) the #1 complaint about Reid is that all he does is throw the ball. If you go by the old theory that teams often go for polar opposite in coaches (hot head to stoic, DC to OC, former college coach to longtime NFL coach) then Reid to Lovie makes quite a bit of sense. He'd change up their style of defense, which has been underwhelming, and call for a more balanced run/pass system.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    We're talking about the 21st ranked prospect in an above average, but far from stacked system. I think it's safe to say none of these guys will be starters.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    There's more of an argument to be made for him, and I didn't want to entirely burst the "be a Blackhawks fan" bubble. Although I assume since the guy is in the Blackhawks thread and didn't mention them as an option he's specifically not interested in following them.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    He's also not Russian.

    Hossa is neither young nor a superstar.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Somebody tweeted last week that they had been informing candidates they were already down to 2, but I assume this is all just rumor and assumptions and Emery's is being straightforward about looking everywhere.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    he can just add a 9 to up the sexy factor. Keeps him closer to the feet anyway
  23. jersey cubs fan
    I've heard that Toub is a great football mind. Not sure where I heard that, or if it's true, but I like to think it is. Could be, but I'd rather not go from Lovie Smith, to one of his assistants. New blood, thx :) One of the internet theories out there is that all these interviews are to have a baseline to compare Toub to. That would suck. If Toub is the guy then my assumption is the defensive staff stays intact, and Bates would almost certainly stay around, meaning very little new blood on the offensive staff. This organization desperately needs new blood.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    I originally included a comment on those shortcomings but didn't want to wake up the echoes of derision.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Do they really change much? People had a pretty good idea of who was what by week 13. But the goal isn't to be absolutely certain who is the best team. The goal is to stage a realistic and entertaining season. 4 weeks of playoffs is a horrible idea for college football. 3 of the last 4 Super Bowl winners were out of the playoffs through 12 games. From Week 13 to Week 17 you'll see at least 3 different teams in the bracket, and a couple more jump around seeding-wise as well. The point is that 12 games isn't remotely definitive in anything, so the idea that a 16 team playoff is pointless dilution rings incredibly hollow to me. The NFL has absolutely nothing to do with college football. NFL talent levels are incredibly even in comparison to CFB. But the point isn't to be as definitive as possible.
