    There are limits to how seamless stop motion animation can be. I'm just impressed with his clay modeling skills.

    You throw around his record in "lol-worthy Eastern Conference" playoffs... but he lost 3/4 of those years to Lebron...

    My guess is Maddon has been keeping tabs on called strike out of the zone for the rooks vs. league average and last night was his chance to grandstand about it. If so, that makes this even better.

    You realize the scale for those plots are in feet, right?

    While I am not a fan of this, I have optimism that Wilson can become a really good receiver. If they can get the speed guy that everyone's been coveting for this team, they could be a pretty good unit. I just don't see how this makes the Bears a better football team.

    I am a fan of Hartline, but not if it means replacing Marshall with him. I like Wilson better than him too.

    The next Welker (according to dolphins fan at work) It cracks me up that the guys skin color is more important when making comparisons than his height. Hartline is 6-2, Welker 5-9. Most of the replays I've seen of him, he's catching quick slants and deep post routes more-so than the short out routes, crossing patterns, and stab routes that we've become accustomed to seeing Welker run. I would say Hartline's game is closer to Jeffrey's than Welker's.

    which is moronic and is an ass covering way of saying they have to tank in order to get better. He's a moron. I disagree with him strongly, but nah, not really. He thinks they can't be good enough next year to win a super bowl, which is dumb, but it's not the same as "get rid of everybody who is any good and get the #1 pick." Advocating that they ignore 2015 and base all decisions on how it will affect 2016 and beyond is exactly that, an ass covering way of promoting a tank job. It isn't the same thing as saying get the #1 pick, it is an ass covering way of saying that because if you ignore current needs you will suck and just because you don't say I want them to suck does not mean you are not advocating for policy that will directly lead you to sucking. He wants to get rid of Marshall and Cutler ASAP. He wants them to suck. That seems to be his only agenda here. I wonder if he had some type of negative encounter with them and just holds a personal vendetta.

    Until I see a conclusive prospective study that shows a hard minutes per game threshold leading to injury or diminished ability, I'm going to continue treating the mpg argument like Lisa's tiger rock.

    From what I saw Bryant brought the ball in, juggled it, secured it, got one foot down, got tripped up by the defender, started going to the ground, dove ahead, then hit the ground with the ball popping loose. I get that it's an incomplete pass. However, what if he had gotten two feet down with the ball secured prior to getting tripped up? Would that then be a catch? Or is he still in the act of catching the ball?

    He kind of looks like a young Sean Bean. At worst, we'll have an awesome collection of GIFs with his face subbed into various Sean Bean death scenes when he gets fired.

    I don't know if it's so much "do it the way the Cubs did it" as much as it is "do it without Cutler and Marshall because I don't like them". It's kind of hilarious that he wants to do away with two positions that the Bears actually have talent at.

    Maybe it's a knee-jerk reaction from watching an offensive specialist coach follow up a defensive specialist coach, but I have been hoping to see a guy like Toub get an opportunity. The guy seems to get the most out of his players and gets them to buy into whatever he's selling. Assuming he can stay within himself and hire coordinators to actually run the offense and defense, I like the idea of having a coach that can get results period rather than one of the offensive or defensive phases specifically. I actually wondered if Toub would get an interview when Trestman was brought in. I wasn't sure if he didn't have the ambition, or the connections to flesh out a staff, or if he just wasn't considered capable as a head coach. Hopefully it was just an oversight.

    Angelo didn't work out, Emery was a disaster...I know lets hire a guy that has spend almost his entire career working for those two. No. The Bears were good when Ballard was here. It's just an odd narrative to sell to the fan base. If you believe he's the best guy, fine hire him. I'm unaware of any narrative. Did the Bears release a statement about Ballard?

    Maybe not injury, but I'm betting there's probably some significant correlation between minutes played and FG% on shots outside 15 ft late in the season and playoffs. So your theory is that there's an irreversible, cumulative reduction on FG% outside of 15ft over the course of a single season? What would be the significant threshold here?
  18. scarey
    has there been any correlation between high minutes usage and injury? We all know there is such a correlation between innings pitched and injury, but I've never read a report or heard any statistics supporting minutes played in basketball and injury.

    The only good thing I'm seeing on the Bear's side of the line of scrimmage is Matt Forte's mustache. That thing is glorious.

    You would think pulling Kramer for Mirer would have given you a better chance to lose the game.

    Ha, Hub is on the radio right now basically calling LaCanfora a hack that isn't very well respected by his peers. Brad Biggs was on right after La Confora this morning and was very subtly saying the same thing.

    How likely is it for Thompson to be converted to safety? Less than 230 lbs is pretty lean for a linebacker.

    Holy [expletive], Sam Rosen just said something entertaining (although he didn't mean it to be). New England Patriots having a great day. The Chicago Bears... are on the field...

    Apparently Kyle Long was kicked in the groin prior to being penalized for unnecessary roughness?
