Ryan Lindley is so bad at quarterbacking It's like if 2010 era Todd Collins played an entire playoff game Feel bad for Arizona, they had a pretty good team before Palmer and then Stanton went down. The defense kind of slumped later in the year but they might have something to do with being on the field a lot more with the offense not sustaining drives.

We should hang a 2013 BP Cup champions banner at Wrigley

DePaul continues to confuse. They start out 6-1 with a win over Stanford but a horrible loss to a team I already forgot. Then they lose 6 in a row including blowout losses to Ohio and Loyola Marymount. Now they have won 3 in a row including their first 2 big east games to Marquette and a pretty decent Xavier team.

Take your time. I want a good look at Teuvo.

Sweeney maybe, but I'd think Coghlan/Denorfia is our platoon in LF. For three weeks. Out of curiosity but is there any legit info that suggests the Cubs are actually considering playing Bryant in LF next year or is it all speculation from fans because it makes too much sense? I might have missed/forgot something.

There's always someone to make me look better. I don't care though I got IMB! on my side

This isn't going to be a thing for you, is it? If Rose plays 50 games this year and is healthy for the playoffs, I'd feel better about the playoffs than if Rose goes 35 minutes a game for 80 games this year. This still applies, two months later. And it's still a thing for you, two months later. And enough with the "I can't change how I feel" garbage, when you act like a meatball goon, you get called out for being a meatball goon. Blah blah blah. Nothing in that original comment you are randomly still referencing has any attack at all on Rose. It was a post mentioning that he was out for whatever game that was. Maybe it's meatbally, I honestly don't even care. He's said and done enough dumb things for me to be more critical of his actions. Wherein you sarcastically called him "Roseypoo".......... Oh god that's the criticism? A friend and I have jokingly been calling him that for years. I let that bleed into NSBB to be pounced on by you ravenous monsters (I mean that in the most endearing way - love you guys!). Sorry for the confusion.

If you honestly still can't see what's wrong with that original comment, you are too far gone to even try to salvage. Considering I know what I was posting when I posted it, you are somehow reading things with the wrong. (I get it I'm not likable at all when I act like a meatball, I'll try to tone it down or leave it to RealGM. Point made)

The guy definitely didn't say all the right things, but after the first ACL, it seemed like the guy really wanted to get back ahead of schedule and his body just didn't let him, and then after the second ACL, he was as overly cautious as he should have been the first time, and everybody killed him for it. Since then, the mob mentality toward Rose has been overly critical and focusing on the strange things he says, instead of just realizing the guy's coming back from two potential career ending injuries and may take some time to get into the rhythm where he can be effective night-in, night-out for 30 minutes a game, especially on back-to-backs. I'd even understand the criticism more if his comeback caused the Bulls to struggle, but since Rose has come back from that latest sickness, the Bulls have won 8 of 9 and look largely like world beaters against teams of any value. Maybe a lot of it is frustration of waiting so long. Impatience = fodder for meatballs to pounce on. Maybe that makes me a "meatball goon". Whatever I don't care. But when the guy is nearly top 10 in the NBA in 3 point attempts despite only playing 28 minutes a game, he'd better be shooting better than 26% or whatever it is. And if he is shooting 26% he's going to get criticism when he says he's going to keep shooting them when teams give him that shot. It's not his game, it never was. If he's going to pick his spots as he recovers, fine but jacking up 5-6 3s a game isn't helping the team.

I feel like their hands were tied. Only undefeated team in the nation in a power 5 conference and defending national champ with a majority of their best players back. They clearly were playing below the level the other 3 were at but the blowback would have been worse if they didn't include them. I still think TCU should have gotten in over Ohio State but I'm sure my judgement is clouded.

Hah. Glad he got somewhat hot. 7-18 in the second half. PS I really hope that someday everyone can constantly call me out for being critical of Rose because he's back to being a star. I really really hope so. I feel so conflicted because I havent loved a player as much as Rose since I was like 12 when all my favorite teams players were demigods. But the things he said and done and the way he's played have frustrated me to the point of being critical. Maybe unfair but whatever. I can't change how I feel although I'd like to and hopefully I can someday soon.

I guess go Big Ten but I'm not sure I can root for them in the NC.

Rose is shooting 9% from the field the last 1.5 games (2-22) and 16% (7-42) the last 2.5 games. Ouch

Wow. Can't believe Sparty won. Pretty good bowl season for the Big Ten

It's disturbing when you see how well Darling and Raanta played when he was out. Crawfords contract might cost us Sharp or Seabrook after the year. That said Crawford wasn't that bad most of the game and hasn't been particularly bad this year.

Well that sucks. 13 seconds from getting a point. Hawks 0-2 in winter classics :(

http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=12107463 For those that want Polian he declined an offer to run the Bills and said he was going to remain on ESPN next year. Maybe he just doesn't want to join the Bills and would accept a Bears offer.

He wouldn't be my first choice but I'd probably be ok. IIRC he was constantly in danger of losing his job for the last 4-5 years with the Texans but he did make a couple of playoffs and had a good offense On a negative note, he annoyingly gave all his kids names that begin with K (Klein, Klay and...ugh Klint)

Shitty start

Man Everton is terrible this year in argue play. They might be in a relegation battle if they continue to suck like this.

Ugh he owned Craw on that breakaway

Also the camera angles are terrible for hockey at Nationals Park
