    Paea or Ratliff Or willie young (rip), potentially Kyle long Alshon Jeffery also quietly has 84 catches 1,118 yards receiving and 10 TDs

    Out of town so can't watch but I see Cutler is 8-10 for 36 yards. Come on Trestman...you aren't coming back, just let cutler bomb it out.

    I've watched you a couple times this year, love Myke Henry, where the hell do you guys go from here? I thought Purnell might be able to make it work there, but that clearly isn't the case. Until they fire the AD and put a focus on athletics as a university (facilities, etc...), they won't get a decent coach in there and will probably be kicked out of the Big East when the TV contract is up in 8 years. There is close to 0 administration/board of trustees interest in athletics and the most apathetic fan base out there, the practice facilities are complete garbage, and the only reason they can recruit anyone is their location and opportunity for kids to think they are playing in a major conference. It's a dumpster fire. To me it's all about the lack of somewhere to play in the city. Unless they figure out a miraculous way to play somewhere downtown they're doomed. I was all about DePaul basketball back in the day, but by the time I was attending school there I had zero interest in being bused all the way out to see them play. Is the South Loop close enough to downtown?

    As soon as Manny joins the organization, Cassie being Cassie happens

    From deadspin:

    So is there any chance Castro goes to jail for this or do we need more details to speculate?
  7. UMFan83
    So he's only an accessory to attempted murder. Great.

    Castro's Instagram an hour ago I think? Not sure what it says http://instagram.com/p/xHk360tpR4/

    I'm sure I wasn't the only one that thought this was the same thread from last month at first. Can we ban players like Castro and Strop from going home in the offseason?
  10. UMFan83
    JFC, what kind of circles is he in at home? Really really hope he's not directly involved.

    Apparently full house cleaning includes Ted Phillips. Monday can't get here fast enough.

    I was startled when I looked at the 2003 Red Sox on Baseball Reference. Damon was last in OPS amongst starters at .750, which was an OPS+ of 94! 7 of their 9 starters has an OPS over .820 and 4 with an OPS over .938. There were only 4 hitters in all of baseball last year that had an OPS over .939. I think a team that put up their numbers in 2014 would win 120 games with average pitching

    What does that say about Emerys status that he is able to extend guys right now. Garza blows. The only justification is that garza is considered a leader for the Bears. But with how dysfunctional they've been he can't be too great of a leader.

    I'll take 10-11 but this one can win me over if Rose can play more consistently like his former MVP self and Noah can play more like last years noah

    The Lakers post game quotes are telling

    Welcome to the board. Enjoying all the new posters that are bringing quality posts here. It drowns idiots like me out :)

    Believe with a win they play at home against the Giants and with a loss vs Washington. Considering we play both West divisions we need all the easier games we can get (at least opponents that look easier right now)
  18. UMFan83
    We were due for a stinker. Couldn't watch because I'm out of town but it looks like we still outshot them. Did we outplay them overall?
  19. UMFan83
    It's not looking good but we have to remember he was the youngest player in the league until September call ups and will likely be among the very youngest players on opening day.
  20. UMFan83
    Who talks like that?

    If I'm understanding this right, 250k for each game finished between 50 and 59. Then 250k for pitching in 50 games, and another 250k for pitching in 65 games, but the most his bonus can be is $2.5m Did we make him any kind of promises about finishing games? Did we just spend money on a Proven Closer? I would guess the gf in that tweet means games finished - meaning he gets a $250K bonus for every game he finishes from 50-59 and then for 60 and 65. I am guessing the 60 and 65 is appearances not games finished because the max bonus is 2.5m. 250k x 10 (50-59 GF) = 2.5m meaning the 60 and 65 GF would be unattainable

    Jay needs 199 passing yards to break the Bears single season record of 3,838 set by Erik Kramer and 360 yards to become the first Bears QB with 4,000 yards in a season. Jay also needs 2 TD passess to hit 30 and break the Bears single season passing TD record, also set by Kramer
  24. UMFan83
    Did he really explain Cutler starting by saying "Jay gives us the best chance to win on Sunday"? who the hell cares if we win on sunday. its not going to make a difference in your evaluation, it will only hurt the bears moving forward, and not giving your younger players a chance to play in a lost season hurts the future. I wouldn't be saying this if Trestman didn't already make the stupid decision to bench Jay last week, but since he has and (in my mind) the Jay-Trestman marriage is broken beyond repair, just give Fales a freaking start.
  25. UMFan83
    Wow indeed 2.5 years left and close to $34 million that they will eat for him not to play for Detroit
