    How many bad 3rd and one calls will Nagy make? At least 3.

    Umpire should not have penalized Serena for getting advice during a Grand Slam, but he’s the Joe West of tennis chair umpires. Rafa has had issues with him too. It’s not a sexist issue. And Serena was getting beaten pretty soundly at the time anyway.

    Hicks was being interviewed by the Green Bay press yesterday over the phone. Said that no one GB has can block Mack. Then you hear Mack laughing in the background. Nice! The Bears got Mack because the Raiders thought that the Bears would give them higher picks than the Packers or Rams would bring. Probably true, but I’m happy that another team devalued the Bears. Did the Jets actually offer two #1s because I’d wager the Jets will be far worse than the Bears the next two years and their picks would be higher.

    You said Trubisky would be the best non-Rodgers QB in the NFC North by a large margin. He’d have to have an over 100 rating with 35 TDs and 10 INTs. Yeah, I’ll take that bet.

    Thrilho, Washington and Detroit combined have had well-below average defenses the last few years. I believe Washington had just one averagish defense the last three years. Hard to hold a QB’s record against him with defenses like they’ve had when they’ve put up really good numbers on their own. I hope Trubisky has a great year and he may well have one, but you can’t expect him to beat the kind of numbers that Stafford and Cousins have put up with so little work to go off.

    I thought Mike Florio was smarter than that. I guess he was just writing a contrarian article because everyone else loves the trade. Florio forgot that you can turn around a team quickly in the NFL and you never know if another team would have traded for Mack between now and next year. The Jets probably would have got Mack this weekend if the Bears decided to wait. You only make a move like this if it guarantees a Super Bowl this year? No.

    Crap, didn’t know the injury was that bad

    some national media guys have them as a team on the rise but you're right they're being slept on big time reminds me of going into the 2015 cubs season still good value on them in vegas last i checked. i might place some small bets on those long odds for the hell of it. Bears went from 100-1 odds to 60-1 odds to win the Super Bowl with the Mack trade

    Unless we are predicting how a player will perform with little NFL experience We had an entire season to watch him. 3/4 of a season. That's little NFL experience in my book. I'm optimistic because he has better coaching and better weapons around him, but we don't know how good Mitch can be because we haven't seen him on the field with many playmakers.

    Cousins and Stafford had on average 97 QB ratings the last 3 years with a 3:1 TD to INT rate (85:30) while throwing for about 4,500 yards per season. Trubisky is not better than that by a large margin.
  12. Wilson A2000
    Thrilho, the Bears are a playoff contender, but I don’t see them being better than the Vikings with an unproven QB like Trubisky. Rodgers is too good to have them automatically vault past the Packers. Trubisky is the wild card and an unknown and he’s the most important position on the team. Things are looking great for the Bears and you gotta be hopeful. Worst case team is 9-7 if healthy, but let’s see how Mitch is with offensive weapons.
  13. Wilson A2000
    He’s gotta play game 1. A veteran who knows the 3-4. Just tell him to maul Rodgers. Don’t need to do much else.
  14. Wilson A2000
    You can turn around a team quickly in the NFL. Like in a year. Especially with moves like this. Bears can win now. At the very least they are playoff contenders.
  15. Wilson A2000
    Not as long as he throws twice as many TDs
  16. Wilson A2000
    Will they though? Only thing more is either 2 firsts or a 1st and 2nd in 2019. A team like Green Bay MIGHT give up the latter, because they have 2 firsts in 2019. But the Raiders don't have much leverage at this point. Mack probably won't sit out the entire season, but as of now it's a threat. The Raiders could face a decision of no Mack + no pick vs. no Mack but with draft picks. It’s a seller’s market for the kind of talent Mack has. How many weeks of practice will Mack need to start week 1? One week?
  17. Wilson A2000
    If I’m Oakland, I want as many picks from the Bears soon while they are bad. I don’t think a 2019 first and 2020 second is enough. Other teams will give more.
  18. Wilson A2000
    I was reading a 1st, 2nd, 7th would do it. 2 1st would likely get it done, but I would like a 2nd rd back with Mack If Oakland decides to trade him, I’d do that trade so fast
  19. Wilson A2000
    Floyd with a hand/wrist injury and Shaheen with an ankle injury. Can't afford to lose Floyd for any length of time. Is the Bears' 2019 and 2020 first round picks too much to give up for Mack if that got a trade done?

    David Haugh is Hanley's replacement on the Score morning show. Hanley was good but not great, but him and Mully had great ratings. One idea as to why there have been so many changes at 670 is that Jimmy deCastro now runs CBS Chicago radio stations. He was in charge of the debacle that was 87.7 The Game a few years back. He wants to show the radio world that he knows what he's doing this time around by making changes at the Score. I don't know why deCastro deserved the chance.
  21. Wilson A2000
    Not a huge Hanley fan, but Haugh is worse. Mully and Hanley have had great ratings and Hanley was with the Score since ‘92 so I’m surprised.

    Wimbledon has started and Roger Federer has left Nike clothing for the Japanese brand Uniqlo. Federer was getting $10 million a year with Nike and Uniqlo is giving Roger $30 million over 10 years. Fed had been with Nike since 1994 and this deal would double his career on-court earnings. While Uniqlo might not seem to be a huge company in the US, I think they are about 75% the size of Nike. https://www.gq.com/story/roger-federer-uniqlo-sponsorship-deal/amp?__twitter_impression=true

    There's been a lot of animosity between the players and the USGA in recent years. In 2004 at Shinnecock, no one could keep their tee shots to the par 3 7th on the green because the USGA dried it out and cut it too short before the round started. At Chambers Bay in 2015, the greens were really bad. At Oakmont in 2016, Dustin Johnson was penalized because his ball moved when he put his putter next to the ball and the USGA took hours to come to a conclusion and tell him (that rule was subsequently changed). Last year, Erin Hills was way too easy and the fairways too wide. And this year the pin placements were much too hard on Saturday and put in places where a ball could roll off the green that didn't deserve to. Phil wants to win the US Open more than anything to achieve the career Grand Slam. His frustration boiled over and Phil hit his moving ball to make a point that the USGA is trying to make themselves and not the tournament the centerpiece. The Executive Director of the USGA - Mike Davis - is on the hot seat. The players don't like what has become of the US's national championship and Phil is the ring leader. And the USGA keeps messing up every year.

    Trade up for Porter

    I do find it funny. I'm sure the formerly employed hosts do as well. McNeil out indefinitely with a paralyzed vocal chord
