    I always have so much trouble making it through the Bears bye week. This year however its like 'oh a Bears game today...ok'. I hope against all odds that we can somehow take this one. Last year we came out our bye with a similar pessimism after the defense gave up 45 points to the Redskins, McCown starting and a similar night game in GB and came away with the win. I don't expect Aaron Rodgers to be injured in the first quarter in this one though.

    Nebraskas schedule is so pathetic that I think several 2 loss teams might be more deserving even if they won out. Their best win of the year by a large margin would be the Big Ten championship game. Their only D1 non conference team they played with a winning record was Miami. And their Big Ten schedule is terrible outside of games in EL and Madison

    Is this some sort of protest against a playoff in college football or are there just no great teams this year?

    Just glad NU spared us the possibility of another overtime game this year. Can't believe this UM team is a win from being bowl eligible

    So now Bennett, who torched the Packers earlier this year, is Questionable after missing all of Fridays practice with a rib injury. Season from hell

    7-6-1 through 14 games...

    Me too but I think a lot has to do with Jo not being 100%. Jo, Gasol and Taj are all above average rebounders and I believe the Bulls over the last couple of years have been among the better teams in the league in rebounding rate. They will probably get it together.

    In my league there is a guy who is absolutely dominating the league right now and just traded for Calvin Johnson and has Adrian Peterson and Josh Gordon chilling on his bench waiting for their returns. He's going to be starting AP, Forte and Lynch at RB in the playoffs with Calvin, Maclin and Josh Gordon at WR

    We sucks

    Bears and Bulls are a combined 5-2 on the road and 0-4 at home

    Lose another one despite out shooting them by 20...

    Twitter comments are great. One person was complaining that the Cubs didn't interview any minorities before hiring Maddon
  14. UMFan83
    The Lions were caught tampering with the Chiefs a few years ago and I believe the compensation was a 7th rounder and they swapped picks in the 5th round. Not really an identical situation but there just aren't a lot of examples out there.

    In case you are wondering why the Cubby Bear, wrigley field is unavailable bc of renovations

    yeah really weird. you have to think if they are really still negotiating, announcing Ricky's firing really kills their leverage. Come on. You really think they're firing Renteria if they don't have Maddon locked down? That's ridiculous. No I don't think that, that's why I think its weird that the moves (firing Ricky, hiring Maddon) weren't announced at the same time. "Jesus, Tom; I was just speculatin' about a hypothesis!" Miller's Crossing reference ftw!

    Of course NYC has 20 million people in its metro area (albeit split between 2 teams) and Tampa has 2.7 (and half are probably transplants that support another team)

    In a very short period they lost Price, Friedman, and Maddon. Not to mention their park is a [expletive] hole. Gotta be a tough time to be a Rays fan after the last few years success. Yup that stadium is terrible, the only time I've been there was when the cubs played there a few years ago haven't been back. It's like a giant Highschool gymnasium, a terrible place to watch baseball. They could draw fans but not in that dump. not only that but isn't the location really inconvenient for people who live in Tampa (the larger part of the metro population)? Something like only 1 bridge from Tampa to St. Pete. At the same time, these are all excuses...a 90+ win team with likable players should be able to draw decently.
