  1. Was listening to a discussion on college football yesterday where they laid out the fact that since 2009, the University of Texas football program has had nearly identical results as Nebraska, with the major difference being that Texas has far better recruiting classes. It’s a damning indictment on just how bad Texas has been
  2. Not to mention that he’s an insanely boring person with zero broadcast experience Can't be any worse than Chris Collinsworth. He just adds nothing of value to a broadcast. It's like if you put hundreds of sports clichés into a database, gave that database human form and had it set to spout a new cliché every 30 seconds. Which is why Collinsworth isn’t making $35 million per year
  3. So he's going to make more in 10 years as a broadcaster than he will playing in the NFL for 23 (so far) years. Not to mention that he’s an insanely boring person with zero broadcast experience
  4. Trade them all
  5. The Dodger approach at the plate is just leaps better than the Cubs up and down the lineup. They're also faster, better at defense, and superior on the mound. They come in first every year (nearly) and still have a farm system 10x better than the Cubs. It really makes me want to quit baseball
  6. The Dodgers have hit three pitches this inning that the Cubs haven’t hit all year.
  7. Nice to see them get embarrassed on national TV instead of just on local TV
  8. Reds are sweating now...they thought they had that #1 pick locked
  9. It's different here. That's so Cub
  10. How many picks are drawn? At least it gives us a chance at number 1 if the Reds keep up their pace. They haven’t played us yet though so there’s time flip us in the standings I think the lowest the worst team can draft is #4?
  11. Do we have a choice?
  12. Carl Edwards Jr. got a World Series ring from the Braves. His contribution to the team: 0.1 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 1 HR, 81.00 ERA
  13. Nico with two homers this year, which is two more than I thought he’d hit
  14. Interesting stuff, though I think most folks on here prefer fWAR to bWAR. Not sure that changes much of the analysis, though
  15. I was wrong to think this year would be different.
  16. I think the easier answer is that we swapped one "smartest guy in the room" GM for another
  17. Would t Poles want to fix the O-Line for his new QB? How does this draft help ?
  18. Pitchers learned to just throw him strikes and he'll sit there and look at them And he clearly has a hole in his swing at the top of the zone
  19. I'm sure all these 6th rounders will shore up the O-Line. Fields for MVP
  20. We managed to offset half of that 20 run win
  21. His spiked HR totals the last couple of years is deeply concerning
  22. Is someone on Joey Votto suicide watch? Guy is hitting .127 (and slugging under .200) on an already garbage team with a garbage owner
  23. What have you seen over the past, oh, twenty drafts that would make you think the Bears would build their O line through the draft?
  24. Now that they’ve officially suspended him, he can appeal. They were keeping him in limbo to put off that process
