its probably just the in vogue thing to do. I do know someone on the design team, and his explanation was the desire to have both those incredible fall days in the upper-midwest games outside with all the ambiance of downtown as well as the ability to play indoors in January because of the cold. Its hard for me to argue one way or the other. I think the RollerDome is actually really good for the Vikings, and they should simply renovate it, but I also happen to have a cousin (my source^) who is one of the principles at HKS who is working on that project. He was involved with the Colts facility too, fwiw. So, I wouldn't mind seeing him keep busy as well.

Up in the air. Originally the idea was for an outdoor only stadium but then you lose any chance of hosting the Super Bowl, Final Four and any kind of events/conventions/concerts when the weather isn't great. So then having a retractable roof became the main target but that's more expensive to build and get the funding for, which is the main issue. removable top. Thats what HKS had designed.

STUNNING! I never would have guessed San Diego fans would dislike anything about the Broncos. How insightful!

It's pretty much the storyline that most are going with. The Tribune called the penalty the turning point of the game. Humor sites like deadspin and KSK are casually referring to the refs screwing over the Lions again. I think the penalty was pretty much a must call as it happened in real time. If you have the benefit of replay you can decide not to. But you can't do what he did and expect not to get called. I think people (sportswriters) are just in disbelief in general over the Bears. Everyone wants to make Cutler to be the cry-baby (the whole McDaniels/Jeff George bit), the Bears use retreads for coaches, and the like. I laugh at the whole "McDaniels is the next Belichek" spiel I read lately. Yea, Denver just wasn't ready for change. ok. The fact of the matter is Belichek failed mightily in Cleveland and persevered though it, as the franchise was going through extremely turbulent waters. Meanwhile, McDaniels has pissing all over his players and eventually sent the ones he truly needed packing. Matt Cassell has done fine, but for cripes sake TIM TEBOW? I guess McDaniels could rebound, but I dont know. I still don't get why Cutler gets most of the blame for his falling out in Denver. A new hotshot offensive coach showed up and the first order of business was to try and replace the franchise QB who had already been to a pro bowl. What QB would not be upset with that? What QB would trust a guy like that?` I dont disagree. Also, I managed to pull my back the other day, and as part of my medication I was drinking some wine last night to dull the pain so I could sleep, hence the somewhat rambling nature of that post. Good Times!

or says espn, so it must be true

BECAUSE THE BEARS CAN ONLY BEAT THE LIONS ON BAD CALLS BY THE REFS

he just isn't the sexy hire. people in MN haven't had the chance to watch him and follow him, they see him a lot like Brewster, coming from a smaller conf, smaller school, etc. NVM the fact he is completely different then Brewster as a coach

I'm sure they are betting on the new stadium and the chance to go up against Ohio State, Michigan, Wis, Nebraska as the selling points. I couldnt stand Brewster. I kind of like th sounds of Kill if he is drastically different

He definitely did. He was also 23. Randy Wells was 27/28 this year and he was rocked for 5 or more runs on 9 occasions this season. Garza did it 7 times this year with three straight bad ones against Boston and the Yankees in September. I didnt say I was thrilled with Wells either

Garza scares me. I wasnt that impressed with him in Minnesota, he seemed to get rocked often

you wanna go? Ask him when Gene Chizik is gonna complete his turnaround job at ISU. Probably after they move to the Missouri Valley Conference. hahahahaha

whats the dig on Kill? I haven't watched N Illinois, but from a birds eye view they've done well with him at the helm. Is this a good signing by the Gophers?

I believe it just allows the blackhawks a active roster space, but Hossa can be re-activated at any time. basically, they can bring up a farmhand

OF THE BEARS 3 LOSSES, TWO WERE BY 3 POINTS. AND WE HAVE FEWER LOSSES THEN GB. THAT MEANS SOMETHING. THATS WHY I'M SHOUTING

holy [expletive] hyperbole battman

I only saw replays, but what I did see were a whole lotta missed tackles. It was epidemic on the Jets D, actually.
