  1. One of Fangraphs 10 bold predictions: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/brad-johnsons-10-bold-predictions/
  2. Raanta starting tomorrow for the Hawks in a pretty big game against Colorado. The Avs are 1 point behind the Hawks for home ice in the first round (if the Blues win the division)
  3. That is horrible. Yeah I'm tired of the Bears drafting being so bad. I think this is a year that will make or break Emery, he's had some meh drafts so far. I'm not saying there havent been some bad misses that make you scratch your head (McClellen, Hardin), but at the very least he's been able to draft 2 Pro Bowlers in 2 drafts (Jeffery, Long), one of them possibly developing into a top 5 player at his position.
  4. I don't know. How much are we talking about for a 30 year old not every down RB? Trestmans offense is made for a RB like Sproles. It might be worth it. I know there are glaring glaring needs on defense but if it's at all possible he'd be the perfect addition to the offense IMO
  5. Fluff but fluffed from the national media instead of just local guys: 10 guys scouts are raving about: http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/the-gms-office/post?id=9021
  6. Someone explain why the Bears would sign someone in the offseason and then a week later cut them....did they need his money for something? Did they find a TE they liked more on the FA market?
  7. I've found it really strange the NCAA is allowing that. If APR is really supposed to be as important as the NCAA says, they should tell the SWAC "tough [expletive], you're having a six-team tournament if you don't get your teams to at least not completely suck in the classroom". Don't you have to have a tournament with at least 8 (presumably eligible) teams to even be granted an automatic bid? I'm guessing they got an exception for a temporary situation like this.
  8. does it really matter? No? Just thought it was a good discussion topic.
  9. Does Bonds look significantly smaller in stature or is it just me?
  10. I know I said it wasn't likely, but if they are going to make Bennett their big FA move and then go super defense heavy in the draft, then I could see the Bears going for that one piece to make the offense even more unstoppable. It would be a great fit for what the Bears are doing.
  11. Nebrasketball! I think they are in unless Purdue somehow upsets Ohio State and then beats Nebraska in the BTT. If they lose to Ohio State they start in Dayton, if they beat them they will start in the second round.
  12. Man I'd much rather have the potential draw of Minnesota/Penn State than Indiana/Illinois
  13. I thought people were PMing you and you had plenty of interest. I'll give it a go if there's enough interest. Obviously my team would be DePaul. OK fine Michigan
  14. I know this isn't a realistic option based on the limited cap space and the glaring needs on the other side of the ball, but how awesome would Sproles on the Bears be?
  15. Jeez Iowa. They still making it if they lose to Purdue in the first round of the BTT?
  16. If we sign him, can one of the 3 sports talk stations in town get a Michael and Martellus Bennett show going? I might listen to that even if goes head to head with the Jay Cutler Show (and that's hard to say because the Cutty show is [expletive] awesome)
  17. dumb question but do the Bears have to cut Peppers (or anyone else) before they sign someone to take them over the cap? There's no penalty on Peppers' contract in particular to force us to cut him by a certain date, correct?
  18. I [expletive] hate Indiana
  19. Has Soler not played very much?
