    I don't fault Dusty for this one. If you can't pitch back to back, you don't deserve to be in a major league bullpen.

    Last night's game was incredible. It was like the Lakers were just toying with the Bulls all night. Hey let's give them a lead for the home fans, and then in a 5-minute stretch absolutely crush them. That's exactly what happened.

    It is tough to send out an inconsistent player who can't shoot and doesn't even know his own skill set.

    I am beginning to think that Salmons is exciting. Noah is exciting. He excites my anger whenever he touches the ball and shoots with two hands. Tyrus is exciting when he's not handling the basketball. Ben Gordon has one of the prettiest jumpshots in the NBA. The only thing wrong about the Bulls is Luol Deng. And Vinny. And Paxson. And most of Tyrus' game. And Noah. And Ben Gordon's defense.

    The Bears could do better with their third pick than that.

    Which is why Jerry needed to get another WR. Hester is slightly above average. Slightly above average WRs are easily replaceable. I'm not sure how he qualifies as only slightly above average, and I'm not sure why anybody would assume Hester will never improve upon what he did last year. No height, no brain, no size. He has speed and maneuverability. This equals slightly above average when all is said and done. He has the Steve Smith skill set, but will never be Steve Smith.

    First off, he was their best receiver, so clearly he had something to do with it. And how does this defend the stance that they shouldn't have moved him. Moving him helped the offense and the team was better. They need line help and a healthy Orton or better QB. Hester is easily replaceable as a receiver. You get a receiver who has height, some speed, and knows the plays and he can reproduce what Hester does. I am not against making Hester a WR, but not an every-down receiver until he proves he cannot return kicks and punts. And I would like him to prove that without first tiring him out as a receiver. He deserves the chance to show that he can't do it anymore.

    I agree. They should never have told him he could be the number one receiver. Why would you want to move possibly the best returner in NFL history out of that position? This one is on Lovie. Maybe because you want your player with the most ability to score touchdowns to have more than 3-4 chances to score? Teams were kicking away from Hester already. He wasn't getting near the returns he should have. But the Bears were getting the ball at the 40 every time they did that. I'll take that.

    Why? He wasn't going to be an amazing kick returner forever. Maybe not. But I would never take away opportunities from him until he shows that he can't do it anymore. This is akin to Lovie saying, "We changed our offensive strategy because we knew the defense would stop us, and we wanted to change it up before they could." Stick with what works until it doesn't work. In 07 the Bears led the league in field possession. Who knows what could have happened last year. The point is it didn't work in 2007. They had an amazing returner and were still mediocre. They needed offense. Return games don't make winning teams. The offense was better this year than in 07 and Hester didn't have that much to do with it. At least it was until Orton got hurt. It didn't matter how good Hester was without a QB who can throw an accurate long ball.

    I guess there is no one to show it off to out there.

  15. Wilson A2000
    I don't care about having them there. It brings in more revenue which the Cubs could spend on players. I am just worried that the field will get destroyed like last time.

    The NHL paid for it. How much does that run? http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/chi-090318-wrigley-sod-pg,0,5942009.photogallery

    But as of now, both teams are in the playoffs. That would make for an exciting late April and May. As the baseball season gets started, having two more Chicago teams in the playoffs is exciting. Unfortunately, both teams look like they will be quick outs.
  18. Wilson A2000
    I can't agree with that. To me, having fun watching a team is connected with the talent on the court/ice. The Hawks have more talent.

    And won a road game.
  20. Wilson A2000
    Perfect. Thanks.
  21. Wilson A2000
    Where is that website that allows you to see what the field would look like from particular seats?
  22. Wilson A2000
    The reason Earl Bennett did not see playing time last year: he says he didn't know the plays until week 6 or 7. He must have Devin Hester disease. .http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-19-bears-bits-chicago-mar19,0,3686415.story

    Jason Goff on the Score tonight said that he doesn't think Derrick Rose has the killer instinct needed to be one of the best players in the league. He has talent, but Goff doesn't see his killer instinct and needs to take over games from the beginning to the end more often. I think it is a little early to make those pronouncements. Have you seen players strengthen their "killer instinct" over time?

    ST numbers for regulars aren't that important, but I see the value in them for guys trying to make the squad. When it comes to the last two roster spots, I am going to go with the guy who has better ST numbers. If ST numbers meant nothing for these spots, would anyone take a guy with significantly worse numbers than another guy? No.
  25. Wilson A2000
    That would be terrible for franchise. They really need this. They (and we) deserve this.
