    I don't think he was their top rated CB. He had the top rated single game of any CB (against Cincinnati), but looks like he was 22nd overall. https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/kyle-fuller/8649 Also, yes there are plenty of good CBs. Malcolm Butler, Bashaud Breeland, Trumaine Johnson, and EJ Gaines, who are all similar level CBs last year. But I'd take Fuller over all of them due to age (slightly younger than all except a week older than Gaines) and we already know his fit in this defense unlike the others. I also love this CB class in the top 60 picks so I'd certainly be willing to double up at the position, with or without Fuller. That being said, Fuller will be back on a franchise tag. Could have sworn Mully said Fuller was the top-rated CB last year

    Fuller not expected to sign a long-term deal. Don’t know if that’s Kyle’s choice or the Bears’. Had an up and down career, but PFF’s top-rated CB last year. Any good FAs if they don’t franchise tag him?

    White Sox to WGN 720
  4. Wilson A2000
    Never seen an in-season switch like this before

    670 trying to land the Bulls. Sox to either 1000 or 720. My, how WGN Radio has fallen. http://www.robertfeder.com/2018/01/30/robservations-bulls-shooting-land-score/

    Bulls don't draw good TV numbers?

    Parent company of WLS 890 wants out of umprofitable Sox and Bulls radio contracts. ““As part of our operational turnaround, we have been focused on taking proactive steps to address unprofitable areas of our business,” Cumulus Chief Executive and President Mary G. Berner said in a statement. “We are taking this action because the economic terms of these legacy contracts guarantee that we lose money and, as such, continuing them in their current form is not in Cumulus’ best interests. … We will continue to take the necessary steps to strengthen our competitiveness and position Cumulus for continued profitability.”” http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/breaking/ct-spt-white-sox-bulls-radio-contracts-20180119-story.html

    If DeFilippo gets the job and Fangio is gone, who is a good DC candidate? Rank the best openings that DeFilippo could choose: Lions, Bears, Colts.

    Why? Harbaugh is a rah-rah college coach whose shtick wears thin on professionals. He wears thin, but he gets results. Three straight NFC Championship games with the 49ers.
  10. Wilson A2000
    Yeah, probably not happening, but if Harbaugh is on their radar, it’s the only way I see that occuring
  11. Wilson A2000
    I would love for Fangio to stay with the Bears, but apart from the Bears bringing in Jim Harbaugh (I'd throw $10 million per year and an ownership stake at him), he's pretty much out?
  12. Wilson A2000
    Forgot to mention him. Has done wonders in Philly with Wentz, but has little play calling experience. Only called plays last year in Cleveland and one year at San Jose State.
  13. Wilson A2000
    What offensive coaching prospects are at the top of the list? Pat Shurmur, Jim Harbaugh, Josh McDaniels, Pete Carmichael, Matt LaFleur, and throw in Dave Toub as a ST candidate. Hub was saying that there's new rules for coaches who are in the playoffs. I think he said you can hire a coach now who is still coaching with his current team or something like that instead of interviewing him and waiting for his team to lose.
  14. Wilson A2000
    Vance Joseph is staying according to Elway
  15. Wilson A2000
    if he knew he was breaking down, why would he hurry to come back and play for a coach who was running players into the ground? Pax almost killed Vinny when he gave too many minutes to Noah coming off his injury. Thibs would have tried to overuse Derrick, but Pax and Reinsdorf would have shut that down.
  16. Wilson A2000
    He was soft after his first injury though. Doctors cleared him to play weeks before the playoffs, yet Rose refused to play. I like you better when you're gone for months at a time I liked you better when you made arguments

    http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/ceob.gif Rose is a goober, but calling a dude out for realizing he is basically now useless as a basketball player because injuries destroyed what made him valuable in the first place as being "soft" is super meatball-y. As opposed to, what, he hangs around milking name-recognition contracts for a few more years? That's somehow a better choice that would make him seem less "soft?" He’s quit on his team three times now. He’s on a one-year, vet minimum deal so he’s not milking anyone. He’s two weeks away from being back. Try to win a title this year and then retire.
  19. Wilson A2000
    How’s that lifetime contract working out for ya, Adidas? Rose quit on the Bulls after his ACL injury, went AWOL on the Knicks last year, and might retire this year. His injuries have been incredibly sad and unlucky, but he’s still soft mentally.

    Gordon Hayward wrote a Facebook post where he says the Cleveland Cavs Doctor braced him as they popped his ankle back into place right there on the court. Wow. https://www.facebook.com/notes/gordon-hayward/in-an-instant/729977353869385/

    Bears sorta tossing around the idea of bringing Kevin White back off of IR. So he's healthy enough in the next few weeks to come off because I haven't heard any updates on him? With his luck, he'll get hurt again and be out again next year too. http://www.thetenyardline.com/2017/10/31/bears-have-tossed-around-the-idea-of-bringing-back-kevin-white-off-injured-reserve/

    Fox isn't trying to develop Trubisky as his #1 priority. He's trying to save his job by winning and Trubisky's development will take a back seat. With that said, the receiving core stinks and when you are up by two touchdowns, I don't disagree with Fox's gameplan after that one bit.
  23. Wilson A2000
    I don’t have any stats to back this up, but outside of Davis (who has always had great secondary stuff), had Bosio developed any great secondary pitches with the pen? Montgomery might be the exception, but everyone else’s secondary pitches just seem to be average. And when you don’t trust them, you nibble with the fastball as they did in the playoffs. I had a feeling that Bosio would be gone due to pitching regression and the comments he got suspended for, but the pen pitched what, 120+ more innings this year compared to their workload last year. That will wear you down. It was Joe’s call, but is that normal for the manager to have the power to pick all the coaches?
  24. Wilson A2000
    I'm not watching either again to make that determination, but this one has more force coming down because he got taken out on an alley oop. The Louisville broken leg went through the skin, but tonight Hayward's ankle was just literally hanging off to the side. Both were just horrible. Who took Hayward out accidentally?
  25. Wilson A2000
    Carried out on a stretcher. Terrible. I hope to never see the photos or video It was really bad. I thought he just landed on his back after getting upended on an alley oop and I was worried about his tailbone. Hayward just sat there for a second until the camera zoomed in and Kevin Harlan noticed it and started going crazy. I saw one closeup of it and just changed the channel immediately. David Chao on Twitter said that it's not a career ender and there's a chance he could be back for the playoffs. Really?
