    Obviously no one knows for sure, but the reports seem to be coalescing around there being a deal in place but the Cubs pulled out before it was finalized, probably because they didn't like something in Haren's medical records. But can't you see his medical records before a deal if seriously discussed? It's not like he got a physical between the twitter rumors and the actual collapse. I have no idea. I always imagined that the teams just talk about player health until the deal is pretty close, then at the last minute begin to exchange formal medical histories. The alternative explanation some have floated is that the Angels at the last minute tried to extract an extra player out of the Cubs, possibly Brett Jackson, and the Cubs were so annoyed they flipped the bird and nixed the whole deal. I've wondered if it came out during the negotiations that they were going to non-tender Haren anyway. In which case, if they value Marmol as a piece for 2013 or a tradeable asset, why give him up when they can just sign Haren anyway? What was Haren going to earn this year and what do you think he will get as a FA if non-tendered?

    RT @thekapman Spoke w/@MikeDiGiovanna from LA Times + covers Angels + says his sources say no deal yet. Says gut feeling is deal gets done.

    Brett Taylor RT @Ken_Rosenthal Source: Marmol would have OK'ed trade, but #Cubs pulled deal off table &trade not happening. Angels talking to other clubs. Why?

    Arguably the strengths of the team right now. Weird. That is unless the Bears land Clady or Jake Long before then. Still, a RT in the first wouldn't hurt.

    Wasn't that the knock on him in college?

    Jonathan Scott getting practice time at any of the tackle positions this week?

    Hard to figure out the Bear offense on a night where Jay got hurt. Next week we'll see. I'm just not going to say this is was a bad game for them. No turnovers right?

    Challenge it Lovie. CHALLENGE IT!

    Cutler about to go crazy on Rachal. Yeah Gruden he brings an edge. A stupid one.

    That's why Hester isn't getting punts. Been unhappy when he gets the ball as a receiver because the poor guy is allergic to contact. He continually falls at the feet of defenders.

    Special teams has been atrocious. What's with the penalties?
  14. Wilson A2000
    Jay looks kind of out of it
  15. Wilson A2000
    Maybe Jay just had to figure out how to throw with the injured ribs and now he'll be moderately OK
  16. Wilson A2000
    Nothing makes me happier than to see this happen to a Schwartz led team
  17. Wilson A2000
    This is where toughing it out isn't good. It hurts the team if you can't make plays.

    I guess that's better than the head? Unless it is really the head and Jay is trying to get out of concussion protocol

    In my best Thayer voice BBBBAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

    Peanut too busy knocking down the WR to get the QB
  22. Wilson A2000
    The double teamed Suh and both guys thought the other guy had it it seemed. Jay should have felt Suh on his back and not tried to make something out of nothing.
  23. Wilson A2000
    Thank God the refs wouldn't let Lovie challenge that. Horrible.
  24. Wilson A2000
    You have to hold a guy because he was offsides and is about to kill your QB. Should have whistled it dead. Bad call.

    Would Kerry Wood get a look? What about Dave Campbell? He filled in from time to time and did a nice job but maybe he's too old.
