  1. Keep forgetting this game is on tonight. I think that 2009 MNF game against the Vikings was the last time I was this unexcited about a Bears primetime game.
  2. Hilton's a pretty tough place to play, even when they're bad. With a ranked team coming in it will surely be loud. Yeah I would say one of the tougher places to play in the nation, particularly when Iowa State is good.
  3. In terms of organizational infrastructure, we are very good to elite in almost all areas of baseball operations except the ballpark and actual players (and both are quickly improving). Elite President of baseball operations, elite GM, elite Manager, elite bench coach (from what understand), elite Spring Training Facility, elite Dominican Baseball Academy, elite Scouting, elite analytics department etc
  4. Luis Valbuena has pretty much matched his production if not exceeded it over the last couple of years.
  5. I haven't checked in about a week but goal differential should be close to 30 by now? Very close...29 Hawks have allowed the 2nd fewest goals in hockey, and are only one behind Nashville who has played one game less. In terms of goals for, they are 3rd in the West and 7th in the NHL but with 3 straight 4-1 victories, that number is rising.
  6. After a slow start, Hawks now have the best goal differential in the NHL. Now only 1 pt behind Nashville and St. Louis for first in the division.
  7. lol Ravens, get your [expletive] together.
  8. I now hate the playoff scenario generator. In the last few minutes I managed to find a scenario where the Bears get a 5 seed at 8-8, and another scenario where the Bears and Vikings are the 2 wild card teams. Of course those will never happen, Detroit won't lose out, the Seahawks won't lose out, etc but its still annoying to play around with this thing, and I probably will even more if we win tonight.
  9. Part 2: http://grantland.com/features/2014-mlb-trade-value-rankings-part-2/ Guess Castro isn't even an honorable mention...with his contract that's kind of surprising. 18. Kris Bryant 7. Anthony Rizzo! Higher than Riz: Harper Bumgarner Sale Goldschmidt McCutchen Trout
  10. What do you mean Tom Loxas was wrong about something??? Hey he got the metro right. That's some solid guessing.
  11. WE OWN THE ACC!
  12. This is a train wreck. In the last few hours the Yankees, Cardinals, Angels and Dodgers have emerged as the mystery team. Heck why not throw the White Sox and Mets in there too?
  13. B1G gonna get these 2 wins they need?
  14. [expletive] please don't lose Lester to St Louis. Please please please
  15. I won't be happy if he is a broken down role player just because his knee isn't shattered
  16. That's actually as probable as any long-shot scenario could possibly be. Arizona is probably favored this week, but if they lose they'll likely be underdogs the final 3 weeks. Dallas just got blown out by Philly and the Colts can score with anyone. Switch Dallas w/ Niners, Philly w/ Seattle, and Chargers w/ Colts and the same holds true for #4. yeah the most difficult part of that scenario is the whole 'Bears win their last 4 games'
  17. Yeah, I'm not going to sweat this at all until I hear some corroboration. I agree nothing to worry about yet, but there has been talk of a mystery team for over a week now so it's possible that team is the Yankees
  18. More...he was responding to someone calling BS on him: Also Matt Abbatacola has the greatest name ever...it just rolls off the tongue.
  19. Who the [expletive] is Matt Abbatacola? Shouldnt Joel Sherman or one of the other NY guys be all over this? Were you asking sarcastically or seriously? He's a 670 the Score Producer and sometimes host
  20. I definitely liked the first one better but whatever.
  21. I think they were too. My guess is they are changing things because they aren't going to get the construction done on time for opening day.
  22. "get the feeling" "huntch" I hate reporting in the internet age
  23. Holy crap this is awesome http://rabbithole.deadspin.com/the-time-manute-bol-hit-six-three-pointers-in-a-half-1666189871
  24. I'm grabbing lunch at this bar and they for some reason have the MLB network playing on the TV. At the top of their broadcast they have tweets scroll across the screen. I didn't know this and when one person said "@JLester31 will sign with the Cardinals for 6 years $140 mil" I nearly had a heart attack before realizing it was just some idiot Cardinals fan
  25. sorting offers? how long could that possibly take? a couple of hours?
