  1. wow Wonder if they all have to have played it the (wh)right way
  2. Have they found the bloody napkin yet
  3. this game has FAKE RALLY written all over it. Well, if one were to truly and hopelessly think the bears actually have a shot at the playoffs, which of course they dont
  4. Go open another restaurant
  5. Not true, a lot was expected. They had studs and brought in other studs, but have completely mismanaged the team
  6. At least he recognizes an issue, too bad he doesn't realize it's him
  7. Yeah no, you do not remember that. http://media20.giphy.com/media/L4TYWQn8rALRu/giphy.gif?w=320
  8. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view2/1259197/i-wanna-dip-my-balls-in-it-o.gif well now i'm actually glad i labored through the last however many pages of the Olin Kreutz tangent As a Lions fan, and after the Schwartz years, how much fun is our misery?
  9. Someone has to be right and someone has to be wrong. I'm meatballing.
  10. bored internet message people Not all of em. The rest can stay away
  11. I do, it's important to recognizeOlin in his prime was waaaaayyy better then Garza and de le Puente
  12. if only we had someone here who was really good at ms paint they could reproduce it for us alas
  13. yup. And its the type of [expletive] that totally weirds me out. napkin > scribbles > bye bye Jorge
  14. I LIKE UR OPTIMISM. I fear the goat
  15. Its totally going to happen.
  16. I hope you guys are right. I'm terrified the lack of a the Cardinal Horseshoe-Up-Our-Ass will spell a total disaster for Theo ending with us losing Soler & Bryant and having the Brain Trust suspended for the season when some pimply buser at some obscure Boys Town bar finds the terms of Joes new contract scribbled out on a napkin. On like October 15, 2014. Thats who we are, after all.
  17. how could that be true? if it were, it should be a slam dunk tampering case for the Rays Theo: Oh man I just hate this humid weather, dont you Joe? I sure miss the Chicago fall weather.... Joe: Yup. (turns to Rays management) I quit Rays MGMT: TAMPERING pretty much in a hand basket, isn't it?
  18. Lovie was a consistent winner, and he was not a dud personality. He was a strong personality where it mattered, with his players. The problem was simply he did not win enough due to offensive blind spots. Yes. Getting to the SB in Chicago seemed to give him too much power, or Angelo was week and let go of too much power. I actually like Lovie as a HC a lot, Trestman as an OC under him? Could that work? It could have, although it obviously never will now. dream killer but i agree
  19. No? I was just being a knucklehead...didn't really mean anything

  21. Kreutz was terrible and the team was a complete joke for half his time on the roster. There's always a need for leadership and Briggs was also a horrible option for that role. Urlacher filled that role and was a star impact player who made a difference. Kreutz was a freaking center, one of the least important jobs on the starting offense. His leadership was based on being a dick and didn't make anybody any better. He was the face of the offense when the team couldn't play offense. Kruetz was a 6 time pro bowler. He had his day as a leader, even if he was credited as being a leader past his best years The team also sucked when he was at his best. FWIW, I didn't mean he was a terrible player. I meant he was a terrible leader. All bluster. He was a leader for the sake of saying he was leading, not to accomplish anything meaningful. He had some good years as a lineman, however, him being the best lineman on the team was neither good for any other lineman, or the team. Kreutz was the type of guy that said we dip our balls in the rookies mouths because somebody dipped their balls in his mouth when he was a a rookie, not because he thought it helped the team grow together. Ball dipping is something I (thankfully) wasn't aware of Eta: and yes, the team sucked a good portion of those years, but he did go to the PB the year of the SB, and the pivotal 2 years leading up to the SB year. So, he was good AND a leader when the team was good. And [expletive] Benson
