    I think the Bears need specifically one player to become a stud again to get close to SI's predictions and make a deep run in the playoffs. That player is Tommie Harris. Unfortunately his knee is only at 80% now and it isn't going to improve during the season. The Tampa-Two can only thrive if he is playing at a Pro-Bowl level. I don't see how they will be much better than last year if he isn't playing great. Ogunleye and Brown will be double teamed and they aren't good enough to overcome that. Without pressure on the QB, this defense will be picked apart. With that said, the Bears made it to the Super Bowl in 2007 without Harris because he was on IR. But this defense is older and slower upfront and in the middle and less experienced in the defensive backfield compared to that team.

    Help win a championship? Yeah, they did that.

    Is there a diminished skills clause somewhere in the fine print of Soriano's contract?
  4. Wilson A2000
    Imagine if Kansas had not made that last-second shot. Memphis would have had their national championship rescinded correct?

    If Cutler or any starter goes down for the season, that team won't go anywhere. But a good backup can hold the fort down if the starter is just injured for a few games. That can be the difference between getting in the playoffs and holding the team steady until the starter gets back.
  6. Wilson A2000
    No Yes

    I'll split the cost with you. The Marlins have been an affront to baseball for too long. At least they have won a World Series or two in the least 15 years or so.

    Did you think Scales and Blanco could hit in the low .300s for a season? They can't. Miles has been injured and isn't playing good, but at least he had a decent MLB track record before this year. Reed Johnson played great last year and I bet he will turn it around in the next few months. He is a little overpriced for a fourth outfielder, but I still like him. This is just Monday morning quarterbacking.

    Thank the Lord. Does that mean the stupid Monsters whatever show is also off Comcast? No, but David Hernandez's Next Step Staffing Solutions was the main sponsor for Monsters in the Morning so who knows what will happen. Among the public service announcements that ran in place of paid ads in the final hour before Chicago Sports Webio shut down Tuesday was one urging vigilance for fraud. "If you're a victim, reporting the con to the public authorities will prevent others from suffering the same fate," it said. "To learn more about how to keep your family safe from con artists and scams, visit ncpc.org." http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/chi-wed-phil-0617jun17,0,2825222.column Wow!

    Chicago Sports Webio is officially off the air
  11. Wilson A2000
    What a day for Terry Boers. Murph is off the air and North's sports webio in this format looks like it is about to end.

    No one liked Hawkins, but he had a decent 2004 (2.63 ERA)

    http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2009/05/bears_agree_to_terms_with_pisa.html Good move. Is Hillenmeyer gone or second string now? How good is this pickup?
  14. Wilson A2000
    What do the Hawks do about their goaltending situation next year?
  15. Wilson A2000
    Here's video of it. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=4756801

    Why would you assume "Proven Winners" was the name of a sports betting company? Is there a company of the same name? I think I remember hearing of a company with that name that told you over the phone which teams to pick.
  17. Wilson A2000
    When I first heard that "Proven Winners" was sponsoring a WGN Radio Cubs game, I was surprised that they would have a sports betting company doing commercials on their station. But I guess "Proven Winners" sells flowers and shrubs. Did anyone else think along similar lines? http://www.provenwinners.com/

    You better bet Favre is going to ask for this. He had his own locker room with the Jets. He isn't going to go to any of the summer workouts.
  19. Wilson A2000
    The Vikings could be very very good with Harvin and Favre. But then again, in crunch time last year, Favre was terrible.
  20. Wilson A2000
    Unless Favre has surgery on his torn bicep tendon, I don't think he'd be very effective. Reports are that it wasn't as bad as first thought.
  21. Wilson A2000
    Because $10M is a lot to pay a reserve guard, especially if you're trying to add an impact PF like Bosh or Amare. And who wants an overpaid guard? Bosh and Amare aren't getting traded this offseason. How many more years does Kirk have under his contract?
  22. Wilson A2000
    Favre and the Vikings supposedly meeting at an undisclosed location this week. If he signs with them, the NFC North is going to be a crazy division in 09. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4142857
  23. Wilson A2000
    I bet none of those happen. Why trade Kirk? He is one of the best reserve guards in the league.
  24. Wilson A2000
    Outside of the one game where Cleveland slaughtered the Yankees, I didn't think DeRosa was playing too well.
  25. Wilson A2000
    I can't believe the rule is that the opposing coach gets to pick the player to shoot the free throws. It was his own player that committed an unnecessary foul that could have resulted in Miller not being able to shoot. The NBA should change that. They are trying to make it so that a bad free throw shooter isn't faking his injury, but if the foul that caused the injury is flagrant, it would make sense that the injury is real.
