It's pretty clear they valued a top 2-3 player on their board at C, Y-TE over the 30th DE on their board. I'm fine with that. I like that the current set up allows for Poles to continue to shop at the RAS store but he has Ben directing him to the correct shelves.

Yeah, we'll see. I'm sure if Poles trades for an impact DL you'll make it clear you hate that too

Looking at snap count of DE from last year of you combine Booker and Dayo into one based on how their injuries lined up, they and Sweat played roughly 80% of snaps, and the 3rd played 20% of snaps. Seemingly this TE will play more than the 3rd DE. So, maybe they picked a guy who would make a more meaningful impact?

This! Bears Fans: Last year's all offense draft: Love it Ben's finger prints all over this!! No mention of Poles This year's all offense draft: Does Poles know anything about football? No mention of Ben. There was a lot of folks indicating the Bears were happier with their DL than outside observers were. We'll see if that's correct

In the Illini's favor, Purdue's last game before they went on this run was a loss to Wisconsin

Their size is a huge problem for teams, 100% agree. That was the impressive takeaway for me as a Wisconsin fan who admittedly only watches UW CBB games. To that end, was the NBCSN production catching more in arena sound than normal because it sounded chaotic in there with how much they let the DJ play between possessions etc...It felt like it was more constant than an NBA game.

Yeah they are entirely too dependent on the 3 and miss way too many shots at the rim, but they have 2 of the best road wins in the country this year.

Hey! My Dad told us he absolutely loved that gift for Christmas all those years back.

254 for me so it happened to my right. the 10-15 seconds that the stadium took to wrap our collective minds around what happened and then go absolutely berserk is something I'll not soon forget.

Looking at that list of contributing FA's and really Byard and maybe CJGJ are the ones I'd hate losing. I think having CJGJ and Kyler Gordon on the field at the same time gives Allen a ton of really fun blitz possibilities. I think Case Keenum should be on this roster as long as he wants to cash checks. He seemed to have a really positive impact on Caleb as a hype man/adult in the QB room they didn't have his rookie year. Lastly, its almost assuredly a miserable use of resources but I would at least need to find out the cost on both Simmons from TEN and Achane from MIA

Definitely Juan Cruz. I got my brother to trade me Barry Zito straight up for Juan Cruz in fantasy baseball his Cy Young year because of Peter Gammons hyping Cruz preseason

Yes, how could anyone from Canada see the appeal in Miami? Certainly not in January either

Yesterday was fun, and while trying to stay in the moment and enjoy it, it makes the MIN comeback that much more annoying. 3-1 heading into the bye in a potential tie for NFC North 1st place almost allows you to excuse the DET blowup.

I think I saw Patellar Tendon

Thinking about going to next Tuesday's ICubs game at home. Would be my first time. For those who've been, any recommendations around parking/logistics etc...?
