    Kind of cool that we are now making trades where we give up guys with years of arbitration control for a guy who is on his last year of arby. Another sign the Cubs ready to go for it this year instead of hoping this year goes well and targeting 2016 for real contention. Of course that could change if the Cubs struggle out of the gate and are sitting 10 games under in July, but for now its looking good.

    Maybe Urlacher ought to make things right with the Bears. Or keep his flapping gums closed. Either will work for me. Agreed. It's pretty annoying that Fox has that impression of the relationship, no doubt given to him by Urlacher himself. I'm sure Phillips and McCaskey loved hearing that viewpoint.

    Fox said he's going to make things right with Urlacher? I wasn't aware that he was wronged by the Bears (other than his own bitching)

    Who the hell is this woman asking about Urlacher's quotes about QBs?

    Hawks have two games in hand though. To win the Cup the Hawks will have to go thru two of (STL,NSH, WPG) in the first two rounds anyway. Not really worried what spot it they end up in. Really did not matter much last year. Dumb question, but if the Hawks finish 4th and get the 1st WC spot, would they automatically play the division winner with the worst record, or would they try to match them up to their divison if possible? Hypothetical scenario to explain: C1 Nashville 110 C2 St Louis 108 C3 Winnipeg 105 WC1 Chicago 104 P1 Anaheim 109 P2 San Jose 106 P3 Vancouver 99 WC2 LA Kings 98 Do the Blackhawks play Anaheim and play in the Pacific bracket with the Kings moving over to play Nashville, or would they keep the divisions the same since one from each division won the WCs?

    Thought experiment: What happens if a Cutler-led Bears team experienced all of the above misfortune in an NFC Championship game, and lost in OT? I know for one that I would have greatly embarrassed myself on this forum.

    is there a bathroom nearby?
  8. UMFan83
    Mostly evasive of the Cutler question...did say Cutty texted him to welcome him to Chicago and sounds like they had a back and forth exchange.
  9. UMFan83
    That's 2 press conferences in a row that have started early. A shot at the Trestman era?

    Cubs plan to play Olt, LaStella and maybe Alcantara at 3B until Bryant is called up according to Joel Sherman
  11. UMFan83
    Maybe, but the Cubs probably believe in Alcantara as a super sub and don't want Bryant to move to OF? Now I guess Bryant will play 3rd, and Coughlan will start with Alcantara still a super sub

    Valbuena going to hosuton.....like a lot less
  13. UMFan83
    Fowler, CF Castro, SS Rizzo, 1B Bryant, LF Soler, RF Valbuena, 3B Baez, 2B Montero, C Alcantara, super sub Wow that is a freaking solid lineup
  14. UMFan83
    Possiblities for ML names? Castillo Travis Wood Jaxon (yeah right) One of the marginal 5th starter candidates like Turner or Dubront One of the bullpen arms that might not make the 2015 roster

    Partial list of things that had to happen for the Seahawks to win that game: -Packers had to kick a FG on 4th and goal from the 1 foot line -Packers had to kick a second FG on 4th and goal from the 2 -On Wilsons 4th int with 5 mins left the Packers player who intercepted it (forget who) purposely went down at midfield even though it looked like he had plenty of running room and might have been able to score -Have their kicker throw a TD pass to a lineman on a fake FG attempt -Recover an onside kick -Have a heavily covered WR catch a pass from Wilson, who threw a wobbler across his body up for grabs to convert a 2 point conversion -Win the OT coin toss -Have Wilson throw 2 perfect passes 20+ yards downfield to finish the game Am I missing anything?

    Aaron Rodgers playoff record outside of the Super Bowl season: 2-5.
  17. UMFan83
    Wtf Hawks. Get your heads out of your asses These dual poor runs by the Hawks (6-5-1) and Bulls (5-6) are annoying
  18. UMFan83
    That was about as improbable of a win as you can have. Still can't believe it happened. And in the second biggest game you can play in. Wow. so happy I don't have to watch GB in the Super Bowl. And now I can root for the Colts tonight to win. If the Packers had won Id have rooted for NE to give GB a better chance of losing.

    this is going to OT, better question is why Lynch didnt stop at the 1. 4 plays to score a TD, they would have and run down some time When you've got the TD, you don't pass it up if you're down. Too many weird things could happen. Exactly. You can't mess around with a fumbled snap, or an actual fumble. Plus the Seahawks have one of the best secondaries and overall defenses in the league. They should have all the confidence in the world that they would hold GB
  20. UMFan83
    Glad they scored but 1:25 and 3 TOs for a FG is like child's play for Rodgers
  21. UMFan83
    The Drive?
  22. UMFan83
    Ugh I don't want 2 weeks of hearing about the Packers and Patriots
  23. UMFan83
    Seattle is being killed in every way possible. Crushing TOs, inexcusable penalties to keep drives alive, terrible offense, defense getting gashed on the ground, terrible special teams, terrible QB play.
  24. UMFan83
    Ugh not that Michigan was going anywhere except maybe NIT but Caris Levert is out for the season with a foot injury.
  25. UMFan83
    I can't wait until GB wins the super bowl so I can make the most epic rant about this being the worst football season a fan could ever possibly experience in all 3 phases (teams I root for, teams I root against, fantasy football)
