Why Fridge and Forte? Because the Bears are a storied franchise with an insanely low number of storied players
-
Well one of them is tree bird mocking the other ones
-
-
they had them 3rd and 10 THREE TIMES on that last drive. they deserve to lose. Absolutely they deserve to lose. Doesn't make the OT rules not suck butt
-
NFL overtime rules can eat a butt. Coin flips shouldn't impact the winner of the game
-
KC is never going to get the ball FML

Well this game turned into a Big XII championship game in the 4th quarter

Well the year I went, I bought the stupid passes and then discovered that anyone could walk in off the street and do everything because there was no ticket checking/taking checkpoint anywhere in between the hotel doors and the convention hall

He’s such a dick Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Marty is an angry old coot that Cincy fans somehow love -
If this off season ends with Harper in Philly and Machado on the White Sox, I couldn't think of a more boring outcome
-
Christ this is Marcus Stroman all over again. We get it, you want both players. You don't need to remind everyone in every post you make. Things we also know about you that you don't need to repeat: You want Craig Kimbrel You praise Jah PRE-INJURY PITCHERS Weirdly obscure minor leaguers other teams sign that you lament over for some reason And a Jets fan for some reason

I know he plays Dark Souls 18 hours a day, but I didn't know that it broke his brain
-
He's not entirely wrong, though. Young, in-their-prime players are grossly underpaid, and as such, expect to be grossly overpaid in their later career to compensate for it. Without a work stoppage, its the dumb system we're stuck with
-
Then Nightengale’s headline should have been “Phillies feel confident after five-hour meeting with Harper”. I’m quibbling with the leap to “clear-cut favorites”
-
Um it's literally what the sentence says. "Phillies emerge as clear-cut favorite to land Bryce Harper after 5-hour meeting". that doesn't mean the length of the meeting is what made them the favorite No, but neither does having the meeting at all. Nightengale is making assumptions about the nature of the meeting. Just because they met for a long time doesn't make them favorites. Nightengale's only basis for the article was that the Philadelphia people "felt good about the meeting". So they talked for a long time and the Phillies thought it went pretty well = Phillies are CLEAR-CUT favorites to sign him?
-
is that really what you took from that sentence Um it's literally what the sentence says. "Phillies emerge as clear-cut favorite to land Bryce Harper after 5-hour meeting".
-
5 hour meeting = clear-cut favorite? Way to jump to conclusions, Bob
-
They are similar to 2016 because they put Rizzo there for 25% of the season and he put up a .979 OPS at leadoff. This is a problem to idiots because Rizzo is a "cleanup hitter" and not a "leadoff hitter", as if either of those are things after the 1st inning
-
It's maddening how many Cubs fans (on other sites) still think that a) leadoff hitter is a "thing", b) that it's a major need, and c) that not having one is the reason the Cubs didn't go far last year. 2018 leadoff hitting statistics are basically identical to 2016 numbers. Of all the things we can point to about how horrendously the 2018 offense performed, the person who happened to be penciled first in the batting order wasn't one of them
