  1. Honestly the Boston success bothers me a lot less after this: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2013/06/25/sports/hockey/seventeen_ss-slide-6GUF/seventeen_ss-slide-6GUF-articleLarge.jpg
  2. Carroll with a long rambling explanation for the playcall that really doesn't say anything at all. He should have just said "I made a bad playcall and we will have to live with the consequences"
  3. Lions end their season on a heartbreaking collapse to Dallas Dallas ends their season on a heartbreaking call to GB GB ends their season on a heartbreaking collapse to Seattle Seattle loses the super bowl on a heartbreakingly terrible play call vs NE Doesnt fit perfectly but whatever
  4. If Brady was cool he'd say "Hey Richard Sherman, you mad bro?"
  5. I just cannot believe that. You are on the 1 inch line. Even if you don't get in you have a TO and a chance to run the clock down. Wow. Just wow. I am just as stunned as Collinsworth is. How the hell do you make that decision? It was literally QB sneak territory
  6. That was the worst coaching decision in Super Bowl history
  7. Ways to kill your image: sit next to Roger Goodell at the Super Bowl Nice one B
  8. Which tells me that unfortunately, the Packers are the best team in football right now. BS. A) One game doesn't necessarily tell you which team is better. Any given Sunday B) Coaching matters in determining who is better and McCarthy neutralized any advantage the Packers had in the game C) I believe in the theory that Wilson was concussed early in that game D) Agreeing with that doesn't give enough credit to the Seahawks comeback in that game.
  9. Looks like the Bears chose the wrong WR named Chris from the CFL.
  10. I just spent the last 15 minutes laughing from tweets about the Nationwide ad
  11. They pretty much are haha. I like being the plucky little team that could, but eventually I'd like to win some of these games. Or at least score in OT :)
  12. It's probably a little bit extreme, and there are definitely numbers that paints Gasol as a net positive for the Bulls, but I think I agree with the sentiment that he's getting more praise than he deserves.
  13. I'd love to see Izzo and D'Antonio go up in flames. I assume you mean couches though.
  14. I don't see any of those guys coming back. Bernstein would spontaneously combust of Kap and/or Haugh got hired and I don't think the executives at the Score trust McNeil to finish any contract he signs. My guess is that Mannelly is stepping down to make room for someone specifically. A radio guy perhaps...that has been in the industry a while and he feels like he's taking some "radio guy's" spot. Ben Finfer maybe? I like Ben Finfer but could he really get a job in a large market after his very public outburst that sort of made national headlines (via deadspin)? I guess if he would get a job anywhere it would be with the Score who is very familiar with him and could look past it. Anyways I am not sure what the ratings are but I've heard nothing but positive comments towards Mannelly. I don't think he'd be asked to step down for someone like Finfer. It has to be McNeil Why does he necessarily have to have been asked to step down? That's how I took Banedon's post.
  15. Hawks still just 9-8-1 since December 20th and haven't won more than 2 games in a row during that span. Not super worried because it's the Hawks but I would like to see them put together some sort of run at some point. Hawks season broken into 3 parts: -Started 9-7-1 -Went 13-2-0 -Then went 9-8-1

  17. There's so many subtle but noticeable differences between 1998 Wrigley and 2014 Wrigley. The batters eye, the higher wall behind home, the old bleachers and rooftops with no seating or very primitive setups.
  18. Flash back to December 28. The Bulls have won 9 of their last 10 games and have a 24 point lead on Indiana in the second half. The Bulls completely collapse in the 4th and actually trail by 3 late in the game before coming back and winning by 1. Since that game the Bulls have gone 8-10. What the hell happened between the 3rd and 4th quarter of that game?
  19. Rose 1 for his last 17 from 3. But keep shooting 6 a night.
  20. I wish Rose would play basketball better.
  21. They just beat one of the best, if not best, teams in the league 2 nights ago on the road And? This team is just as likely to get wiped out in round 1 by a team like Detroit as it is to beat a team like Cleveland. It's a long season and they are capable of beating the best when focused and rested. Tonight looks like a team coasting/tired on the road playing against a crappy team that will turn it on if they have to in the 4th to pull away. You can use this excuse when it happens just occasionally. When a team is on the verge of going 7-8 over their last 15 games, maybe they just aren't that good. Maybe. But the fact that they are consistently beating good teams but losing to bad teams tell me they are probably pretty good. It's not like the good teams are taking the Bulls lightly.
  22. I'd love it just for the meatballs that would be up in arms.
  23. Yeah, just a relentless bunch with a few very punchable guys (Dustin Brown by far #1). Going to dread playing them in a playoff series again. That game has me excited and nervous for the playoffs. Fun to watch. Looking forward to it too assuming we both get that far. To be the best you've got to beat the best.
  24. McDermott is back. He's played about 90 seconds in the 5 games since returning. Thibs doesn't trust him for whatever reason.
  25. I think this is right.... The Bulls are 7-3 against the top 7 teams in the Western Conference, with 1 win against all 7 of them (we haven't played 8 seeded Phoenix yet) Pretty sweet
