    Samuel could pair with Jason David to form aruably the most overpaid corner duo in the NFL.

    I read an article this weekend, where Angelo suggested some of his draft flops were due to character, so now that will be the primary focus going foward. Hello reaches. I'm still trying to figure out last year when he traded down(passed on Ugoh) and drafted Dan Bazuin.

    Hee Seop Choi was a success for the Cubs, he did net us D. Lee, amirte?

    this offseason is gonna be a disaster.

    And they really swung and missed. Really the article wasn't funny at all, that was my point. I believe it was, and that you think otherwise because you are upset that they ripped a Bruce Miles article. It really has nothing to do with Bruce Miles, I guess the standards for humor are pretty low these days.

    I think the differnce is that article on Eckstein was written by a 3rd party and this article were direct quotes from Theriot himself. I asked this before, what should Theriot say? I think any baseball player with a marginal skill set such as Theriot will do whatever it takes to paint the rosiest picture. I'll have to go back and read the Eckstein article from a while back, but I believe those coutnerpoints had more substance. Now they just assume everyone is on the same page. Now I do agree such cliches are worthless, but where is the substance in all of that? In seems in the past they used to bring a nice blend of comedy & statisical refrence to attack articles, but that has long gone.

    So don't read it anymore. Also, using "ZOMG" in an argument means automatic failure. It wasn't used in my arugment, it was used to mock their writing style. Please tell me what is so orginal about taking an article, and then picking a section you wish to address, and countering with "Next thing your going to tell me is..." I guess it would be funny if this was a face to face debate, but in reality they have run out of clever things to contribute so are stuck with these Juvenile tactics. I'm guessing anyone who found this FJM funny is the same person at work that stands up in their cubicle, blasts "Who let the dogs out", and assumes that people find this entertaining.
  12. GoCubsGo1679625768
    yeah i know, they should stick to the articles they usually make fun of, the articles about scrappy white players who play the game the right way. Agreed. And if they could actually make it funny, that might even be better.

    Really? I haven't noticed. You didn't read the steaming pile of **** that was on Bruce's article? Really, they aren't funny anymore. They should take some time off and look for some new material. So because they criticized one article of a writer you like they are: 1.) No longer funny and 2.) Desperate for articles. Great. No, they have been getting on my nerves for quite some time. I could understand trashing a piece by a sportwriter that uses a bunch of cliches to prop up some player he supports, but this was a direct one on one interview with the player himself. What is Theriot supposed to say? "Well, yeah, I'm aware I suck" Of course not, he is going to present his best case of why he believes he deserves the starting job. And their whole little gimmick of "Next your going to tell me...." Yeah they need to stop using that. OMFG I CAN PARSE AN ARTICLE AND PUT THIS LINE ABOVE ANOTHER ONE! OH MAN I AM SOO COOL...NEXT YOUR GOING TO TELL ME YOU DO THINGS THAT DON'T SHOW UP IN THE BOX SCORE! ZOMG! SEE I CALLED IT! I AM SO COOL! Really, it has all become a bunch of crap.

    FJM is starting to get REALLY desperate for articles.
  16. GoCubsGo1679625768
    fwiw, Mike Hart is still running his 40.........LOL
  17. GoCubsGo1679625768
    Jones ran a 4.44 and Shard ran a 4.43 I expected a little better from Felix, though that is by no means bad. Pretty darn impressed with Shard, though. How'd Stewart do? I think Stewart ran around a 4.4. He doesn't play near that fast IMO.
  18. GoCubsGo1679625768
    I really don't see that hapening. I have heard Dallas likes Chris Johnson alot too.
  19. GoCubsGo1679625768
    I [expletive] hate Nutt, because of him Oher isn't in this draft. :twisted:
  20. GoCubsGo1679625768
    Well if you have McFadden @ 4.33, and Menallhall @ 4.37(4.43 on the 2nd, run) I'm taking the guy from Illinois that can run over people too.
  21. GoCubsGo1679625768
    Oline problems shouldn't even be a factor IMO. If you have a chance to draft a stud like Mendallhall, you have to do it. The Bears have a lot of issues, but Rome wasn't build in a day, and they can't fix it all this offseason. Draft the best avialable players. That is how I would roll at least. I would normally agree but with the Oline playing such a major part in how a RB or QB play, you have to address the Oline problem. But this is such a deep draft for OLine, specifically tackle, isn't it? You might be able to get late first round quality in the 3rd round. I think you take a Mendenhall, too. I like Nicks from Nebraska. I would shoot for him in round 2.
  22. GoCubsGo1679625768
    It just sucks Angelo has fostered these oline problems by basically ignoring the position via the draft the past few years.

    That last quote makes me feel good. It makes me feel good.
  25. GoCubsGo1679625768
    I think Mendallhall's ceiling is much higher than Turners.
