    lol @ OK city

    I'm trying to figure out how people KNOW games wont be fun there in early April, yet they dont live here. I dont think people understand what the metrodome is like, not to mention their perception of April in mpls....
  4. minnesotacubsfan
    i dont care, april or july, i'd go
  5. minnesotacubsfan
    I think its wolf
  6. minnesotacubsfan
    not good enough, I dont want them cracking 60 wins

    Peppers would be a nice pick-up. I trust Harris/Harrison to rebound more then I trust Ogun/Brown to rebound, my choice would be Peppers over Haynesworth

    behold the double header. if early spring games are canceled, I'm sure they will find a way to make them up. believe me, an open air stadium in mpls is waaaaaaaaaaaaay better then the metrodome will ever be, even in early april

    maybe someone will pick up bonds after all for a coach

    They basically shoe-horned the thing into the city's fabric. looks great, i cant wait for baseball outside in Minnesota. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/jeffbweis/IMG_2955.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/jeffbweis/IMG_2954.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/jeffbweis/IMG_2953.jpg

    well, his salary and his recieving put him over the top. That rating system is interesting, especially considering the implamentaion of the salary cap in football

    Draft needs (but nothing we havent alredy discussed here): http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/NFLDraft/Draft+Extras/2008/needs011209.htm

    Matt Forte = highest ranked RB: http://football.realgm.com/src_feature/316/ Interesting.

    he'll say go Pro. they interviewed him before the Rose Bowl and he more or less said that he encourages his kids to go pro if their draft stock is high. yeah and this is the perfect time for him to go. it's a weak qb class and he probably projects to be the #2 qb selected, behind stafford. next year he'd be picked behind mccoy, bradford, and possibly a couple other guys. Really? I would think he'd be a better pro than both of those guys. i guess you might think that, but consensus around the league does not agree with you. I (although I have no voice in the league what-so-ever) would tend to agree with jersey here. Mccoy over Sanchez? no way.

    lol I keep popping in hear hoping to see CUBS SIGN PEAVY!!! but no
  16. minnesotacubsfan
    lol
  17. minnesotacubsfan
    thank you...that is exactly my viewpoint..
  18. minnesotacubsfan
    moot And if you think honoring your word is uptight, then, well, whatever. And it's moot because it would be absurd if it happens. Sorry, but you're wrong. It is not a generally accepted practice to back out on a contract to coach a football team a day later. If he did it, it would be a douchey move, just like when Belichik bolted on the Jets minutes before his introduction to the press and New England had to give up draft picks. yea, Belichik +/- draft picks = Hoke. exactly. it's absolutely mute.
  19. minnesotacubsfan
    whats that, since I've done something similar it proves that jersey is a douche? I think that rather unfair of you to imply, and I certainly wouldn't I'd go that far...
  20. minnesotacubsfan
    sorry jersey, I think you are being extremely uptight about this, and I'm not sure Jon Hoke's hiring is a make or break move for the organization. sure, if he's the incoming GM or HC, but he's a db coach, who may have the opportunity to become a DC. Your right, he should be threatened with almight "accepted way of doing buisness". yea, that works. besides, as raisen has poitned out, it all appears to be a mute point anyway
  21. minnesotacubsfan
    the market here in mpls for architects is extremely volitale, it raises and falls far too much. you can work for a company for 15 years or 15 days, and be let go completely independant of your performance, or anything you have control over. its not a good set-up. it doesnt bread continuity. but,, at the end of the day, the individual has to learn how to work with in that system as well, or move away. its extremely competative, and momentum is paramount, giving your word is ignored. I guess I see coaching jobs in the nfl and college being a similar enviroment in those regards.

    I've recieved vastly more support for that dicision then ill feelings (the only ill feelings to date being gooney). It isnt uncommon, in my field, for things like that to happen, and it happens for a variety of reasons. I understand the ill feelings towards him (as a Bears fan, and wanting good coaches), but the reality is that nothing is garaunteed. Accpeting a position is far from the chivalry "giving them my word" bs.
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    its sooo nice having you around.
  24. minnesotacubsfan
    That's nonsense. It's one thing to leave for greener pastures in the middle of a contract, but to interview again immediately after taking a job shows a complete lack of credibility. not at all, in fact I've been in that situatin before where I accepted a posistion and later THAT DAY was offered an interview with a firm i liked more. I eventually ended up withthe firm I preferred, and eneded up appologizing to the former firm, but i had no way to predict that situation. it happens
  25. minnesotacubsfan
    douche move? he's clearly doing what is best for him. maybe he wasnt aware he had the opportunity to interview with UCLA until after he accepted the db position. I really dont have an issue with this
