I can't get over how much it looks like Wrigley every time I see the batter pitcher camera angle at this park -
Ugh, I just realized my raging anti-MSU in the FF boner made me pick Cincy over MSU in the 2nd round. Oh well Go Blue Hens!
-
Sorry, I've just never liked Melton for some reason.
-
And somehow Dayton is the only school in Ohio that's still in the tourney

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post/_/id/4691261/melton-bears-were-given-shot-to-make-offer Hah what a douche.
-
Not good enough to beat Sparty dammit
-
I'm still perfect! Unfortunately, Harvard is looking to ruin that.
-
They do realize that: a) The Dayton player that scored was guarded by Craft b) Craft took like 4 steps before his last shot c) He missed the shot d) He shouldn't be the guy on OSU taking that shot (though his reverse layup was a nice shot to his credit) right? Oh well, never have to see him again, have a nice life.
-
Seriously though, could the announcers gush about Craft any more? Do they even know Dayton won?
-
Hard for Craft to make that shot with the announcers blowing him

Javier Baez Does Whatever the Fuck He Wants Thread
UMFan83 replied to CubInOK's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Oh the meatballs are going to be out in full force this Spring when the Cubs bats struggle to generate offense. Glad they left him on the big league spring training squad for so long, but he got too much exposure to our idiot fans. -
I either broke the site, or the Steelers are in for a world of hurt in 2017 if they don't cut Antonio Brown by then. Hopefully that's not all guaranteed. $217m is a lot for a wide receiver.

Come on Iowa
-
No Illini talk tonight? Big comeback after being down a lot. Up 2 with 13 secs left.
-
Man that was really the last one? It's a really weird scenario for Iowa fans. On one hand its very deflating to fall short of high preseason expectations, the way they ended the season is just miserable, and the fact that your big return to the tourney is a play-in game when you've been a lock for weeks is a bit depressing. But on the other hand, there were some pretty bad years for Iowa, and this is much much better than those years, and then you factor in McCaffery's kid and the hope that if Iowa can somehow wake up they definitely have S16/E8 talent and can make a run.
-
I agree, but like you said I think they can definitely compete next year and even make a playoff run. The defense will be better, but not as good or built the way Emery wants it yet.
-
Both excellent answers. Thanks for the perspective guys.

I think the Bears are trying to eat that whole amount this year, to make his cap hit way less in future years. But they could move some of that cap hit if they need to. He's 20th in 2015. Plus, it hasn't stopped the Bears from being active in free agency. I think a big part of the argument against Cutler's deal was that it would keep the Bears from improving other areas of the team. Yeah, I'm not saying its a bad thing. I know the Bears purposely set up his deal this way. Just didn't realize it was the biggest cap hit in all of football.

Saw this on reddit. Apparently Jay Cutler has the highest cap hit in the NFL next year at 22.5 mil. Here is the top 25: http://www.spotrac.com/rankings/nfl/cap-hit/

2013-14 Defending Champion Blackhawks Regular Season Thread
UMFan83 replied to Drew Doughty's topic in Other Sports
Just turned it on 5 minute ago, have the Hawks been getting dominated like this all game? -
So with all the guys we've added in recent months, how much better is the US in the short term and in the long term? Like are these significant game changing talents down the road or just good upgrades?
-
He's had visits with several teams, so there's definitely some interest around the league. Maybe his asking price is too high given the issues he's had. I don't know, I feel kind of bad for a player who gets a serious injury at the exact worst time contract-wise. He never had a chance to come back and prove himself on the field before trying to sell himself around the league. It's got to be tough. Did the Bears have contract discussions with him before/after franchise tag? If so he had an option, unless the Bears were drastically low balling him, to ensure longer term stability. Instead he chose to play a season getting paid like a top 5 player at his position (I'd argue he is clearly not close to top 5) and risk something like this happening.

Funny you ask about this... http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-chicago-cubs-wrigley-field-parking-20140317,0,3358220.story So absolutely nothing was accomplished in the offseason and its now been a year since the Cubs supposed deadline for getting everything approved (Opening day 2013)

http://sportsmockery.com/josh-mccown-says-hes-better-jay-cutler/ This is going to get way overblown of course, but reading his full quotes, he is trying to be diplomatic about it.
