WHat did he say? He said Illinois, as a prank to STL should erect a giant statue of a man in croquet shorts about to tee it up (because of the arch). The way he led up to it was really what made the joke though I thought that was horrible. the arc is a beautiful piece of design :( But then it wouldn't be only aesthetically pleasing, it would be functional as well. Uh oh Rammy. it is both already aesthetically pleasing = function Not in the utilitarian sense of the word. especially in the Utilitarian sense. the Arc might be the best piece of minimalism in the entire state of Misery.

hill to be skipped; injured in 5/16 AAA start
minnesotacubsfan replied to abuck1220's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
granted his ERA has been nice, his WHIP has been north of 1.40. mechanics, being jerked around, being taunted by the water boy, i dont care, he walks more people then I can handle watching. I thought last year was his turning point, but my god i want to strangle him when he starts walking people -

maybe I am the only one around here who is seriously disappointed in Hill, but he has stunk this year. walking as many people as he has is ridiculous -
what about their future team, the Vikings? Jaguars. are the Jags likely to move or is this your wishful thinking?

What I don't get is why the Bears are not considered "contenders" and yet Minnesota is? Both should have outstanding Defenses (if anybody remembers, the Bears have the CORE OF THEIR DEFENSE back again. Even tho they struggled under Babich the 1st yr, I expect major improvement in yr 2.). Both have questionable offense. Minnesota has basically a RB, and nothing else. Berrian won't be effective, as long as Jackson can't complete a pass over 10 yrds. Even tho he isn't great, but I take my chances on Grossman and his recievers over Jackson and his recievers. There is not one team in the NFC North, I fear. In fact, my bold predeiction will be...the Bears winning the division by two games. This is not true. The biggest difference between the 2 teams is that Minnesota has a good, solid, proven O-line, something that remains a big question mark for the Bears. They will be able to run the ball and just hope Jackson can be "good enough" to get them some wins. That's true, but you counter that with APete being the ONLY offensive option, and it becomes a wash, about their line. I have a feeling that Minny will play ALL THREE QBs next yr. not to mention Minn's oline is overrated - terrible at pass protection

Sure...because it's there every year! If it's only in your area for one year, it's a unique experience worth checking out. No, because it's boring as hell and only weirdos go. you cant drink there? I've never been, but I'm sure if alcohol is involved you would get plenty of takers no matter the locale

I doubt it. There's two things that bring people to the draft. One, passion for the game, which is limited at best LA. Two, nothing else to do. It's mid-to-late April in NY and weather is hit or miss. Nobody is spending a day at the beach or doing much outdoors. To them, 8 hours inside makes some sense. Plus, it's the same people every year. People are not dying to go to the draft. Whenever I hear people bring it up, they say, "it would be cool to go." Then they think about it for 2 minutes and realize, "No, that would actually suck." I buy the "nothing else to do" argument, but the lack of passionate fans relative to only LA is b.s.

you've never spent much time in LA have you?

Myrtle Beach Metro population: 217,608 LA Metro population (not including 2 million San Diegans 100 miles away): 18 million lol well yes, population...

No....no way. It's NYC's thing and that's the way it should stay. Why? What gives NYC exclusive rights? I think it'd be great to see some fans outside of the Giants and Jets hooting and hollering in the balcony. Giants, Jets, Cowboys, Redskins and Eagles show up en masse. LA sucks and should not be in the discussion. NY is close to multiple NFL teams, and the home to large chunks of several fan bases. They supported the draft long before it became popular. That being said, it could be fun to see it in Chicago, where you'd get a fair amount of Bears, Packers, Vikings and possibly even Rams fans. DC, Philly, Boston could be decent locales as well. It might be fun to do it beachside in Florida, where you'd get a spring break type atmosphere thrown in. But LA should not be in the mix. I don't have a problem with it being put in centralized locations so fans of multiple teams can attend. You could do it in Atlanta too, and get Falcons, Panthers, Dolphins, Bucs, and maybe Titans fans. The West is tough because most of those teams fans are so far spread out. I imagine the LA idea is to offer an olive branch to the city since they still don't have a team yet. You'd still be able to get plenty of CA team fans there. Why should LA be excluded? in LA you would get a huge mix of transplanted fans from every team. I dont know what difference it would make if it was in LA or Myrtle Beach

I decided about a year ago to no longer read any of his columns that had anything to do with anything OTHER then Mark Cuban. my hope is his readership will drop soooo low that the Trib will only print his Cuban stuff one can dream. You talking about Mariotti or somebody else now? he is pretty pro-Cuban, I like that...cigars and owners, ya know? He writes for the Sun-Times. that too. I completely missed that. thanks
