  1. While you rejoice, the soccer thread weeps.
  2. I believe all of his girlfriends over the years set him on this path.
  3. Yeah, but will the drivers of those free rides be willing to drive 270 mph and do they have spacious glove compartments to store guns in?
  4. I don't care if the contract sucks. horsefeathers yeah!
  5. That doesn't sound right. Replacement-level players are replacement level because there are a lot of faceless duplicate versions of them around. I can maybe buy the top 5 part though. They aren't faceless. But you see it with the Bears. David Montgomery goes out and they lose nothing because they have one of the other 90. Doesn't mean they both are replacement-level, just means they are easily replaced. There's not really a good way to explain it because there aren't any other positions in sports where almost everyone is a "good" player. But it's like a regular profession. You can get an accountant from any of the B-schools ranked from 11-25 and all would be good at their jobs. You can't just get a guy that took an accounting class in HS and expect the same ability. But also there's a few Stanford guys out there that are simply worth the assets it takes to get them. The diference is there are about 300,000 accounting positions to be filled, and there are only 70 or so RB jobs to fill in the world. Similar to how the RBs ranked rom 11-25 aren't much diferent, the guys ranked from 60-80 are even MORE SO not at all different, and you haven't even had to scrape the Div II College barrel yet. I'm just saying the bottom 5 RBs aren't nearly as much poor than the top 5 RBs are good. There's just no way.
  6. I've been told that RBs don't matter, but all of the people that have told me that have been exasperated with Henry's preformances for the past 3 years. The top 5 RBs matter. The bottom 5 RBs matter in the opposite way. The other 90 are all the same. That doesn't sound right. Replacement-level players are replacement level because there are a lot of faceless duplicate versions of them around. I can maybe buy the top 5 part though.
  7. With him out, that entire division is now officially a complete horsefeathers show I've been told that RBs don't matter, but all of the people that have told me that have been exasperated with Henry's preformances for the past 3 years.
  8. I was putting together a piece of furnature for most of the first half, and was just listening. I couldn't fugure out what was going on with the crowd. I thought maybe the speakers were trying to pump extra noise or something, because there were clearly competing cheer sounds. It was until I started paying attention that I realized how many Packer fans were there. Pretty wild.
  9. I got them at +220 before kick. Did you bet them live down 7-0? I hate betting on the Packers but they always seem to come thru when underdogs Tom has frequently stated he doesn't bet, most especially when someone asks him to wager on his prognostications.
  10. I'm not sure what's more surprising: that the Packers looked like much the better team, or all of the weirdness that happened in the last 4 minutes.
  11. Maybe someone here will like this. (The time stamp is Bears fandom related.)
  12. Jordan Love isn't any good. If his pre-season preformances aren't enough for you, the tell is how the Packers acted once Rodgers made it clear he was upset and wanted out. The Packers would have sent him to Denver or wherever if Love was even an average NFL QB right now. I mean, when the same thing happened with Favre/Rodgers, Favre was in NYC with no fanfare for a third round pick. Maybe Love still developes and he's completely servicable, but the third coming of Favre he is not.
  13. That’s not what he said and what he did say was taken horribly out of context. But I guess people will just keep on misquoting that forever. Also you aren’t allowed to pile onto the post game misery What sucks now is we'll hear about how "great" these Packers are after week 1. I'd say they'd lose to TB, LA or ARI 10 out of 10 times, I'm bitter because the game was there for the Bears to win. 10/10 is hyperbole but the sentiment is accurate.
  14. lol why does this make you mad? He's a big Mike Glennon fan, I suppose.
  15. I'm probably going to pay the .99 on amazon to watch this tonight.
  16. Jaylon Smith doesn’t need to be a star for GB. He just needs to be better than Oren Burks and Tyler Summers, an almost certainty, to improve the Packers defense. I just like that they got Smith to replace Smith and Smith.
