Is Gordon really that key to them? He seems more like a nice guy to have around to a disinterested observer. Though it is meaningful that anyone who could walk didn't. I mean he's averaged 5.5 wins over the last 5 seasons and that number is being held down by 2.8 wins over 104 games last year. Obviously age is a factor but based on his last 5 seasons he's certainly a key piece of their team. -
Ahh good stuff. Guess I shouldn't be too happy for the cute little Royals anymore after 2 pennants and a title, but its good to see them able to re-sign their key free agents and keep their team going strong.

If you hold your hand over everything below his eyes, he looks like Anthony Rizzo
-
I wonder if he's interested in coaching again this year. Do one of the playoff teams have an opening?
-
He has interviews with the Browns and Dolphins this week as well.
-
The best value in could see for Rose is something like Rose for Joe Johnson where a team going nowhere accepts an extra year of a younger player who they think is worth a gamble for his upside. The Bulls in turn would get out of their bad contract a year early.
-
Freaking awesome.
-
And looking like Brandon Marshall will still have never made the playoffs. And on 2 different teams that finished 10-6 and didn't make it. Meh on Marshall as a person but I would have liked to have seen what he could do in a playoff game.
-
So 12 of the 16 games (and 11 of last 13) were decided by 1 score. Bears went 5-7 in those games and 1-3 in the blowout games. Kind of shows you how occasionally a bad team will have a fluky 10-6 playoff season because they ended up winning an unusually high percentage of those close games.
-
jay with one of the best 3 INT games I've ever seen.
-
Every time the dude gets some positive momentum going he gets hurt. Kind of feel bad.
-
Bears got completely screwed there. There is no way there should have been a second left.
-
Well so much for that no "2 INT" statistic
-
And shortly after Purdue loses at home to Iowa
-
So Northwestern beats Stanford by 10, then loses to Iowa by 30 who then loses to Stanford by 29. Weird circle of games.
-
Yeah I think he retires. Don't think he wants to go back to NFL or to UT. He will give himself a heart attack if he continues for much longer. So he'll be at OSU in a few years then?

They're going to be murder on all of those lefty heavy lineups. Of which there aren't any, with the possible exception of...oh. I wonder if that move was actually made partially with us in mind. Oooo other teams are building their teams specifically to try and beat us, how exciting! -
He's not getting $100m if his numbers so far this season stay the game over the next 18 months. Even with the cap exploding.
-
he's done nothing his entire Michigan career. This is the most unexpected outburst by a Michigan basketball player since Spike in the NC game.
-
Man it's fun being a Cubs fan these days.
-
Is that just speculation from him re: Jeffery? I still don't see why they wouldn't at least franchise him given that they have plenty of cap space and haven't been able to see any game action from White.
-
I don't really think it's heart vs head. The potential benefits to the team of losing are minimal. 4 draft slots will not change a franchise. Ryan Pace is either going to be a good judge of a talent and build a better team or he is not. A couple slots will not make a difference that matters to the end result. This isn't the opportunity to draft Peyton Manning we are talking about. Yes but the argument is what provides more benefit to the future of the franchise. It's an argument that cannot be won by either side since the benefits of winning cannot be quantified and measured against the benefits of a marginally higher draft pick. I agree that there isn't a huge difference between the 12th pick and 16th pick. If we were 2-13 and Peyton Manning was the projected #1 pick, I'd obviously feel a lot differently.
-
Let's see what he says before we put words in his mouth.
-
A loss allows an opportunity to draft a better player going forward. We know what this team is and the outcome of this game won't change that either way. What does a win actually accomplish going forward? Feeling better about not crossing an arbitrary line into double digit losses? Any benefits they get from winning are really not quantifiable, so I'm not sure what Raw is getting at.
-
Well the season wasn't as bad as we probably thought, especially after Week 3. We have gone 6-6 since and were in every game but 1. One thing that's freaking annoying is the 3-12 record at home over the last 2 seasons (compared to 9-7 on the road). Looks like the Bears are 1 point favorites early on. Will the Bears get a rare home victory or will they improve their draft positioning?
