  1. Reminds me of every Redskins game of late. They are never anything special but a bad fit for Bears. RGIII could rack up a ton of fantasy points. Oh god the 'Skins. I remember the first game Kyle Orton started, he almost pulled it out, but then I believe Fred Miller and company had 3 false starts in a row, led to an insane 3rd and 35 or something, and they lost to Washington without giving up a touchdown. Then you had that horrible awful, still killing me, Todd Collins game. You can't lose that game. Some part of me thinks the reason Collins was picked up as a back up was because of this game. Doubly awful. And the 2010 game. No excuses to lose that one. Donovan McNabb was terrible, the Bears were running up and down the field, and Cutler just had to throw the most inconvenient interceptions ever. I believe Hester also had a game winning kick off return waved off. So Washington has been the source of some really, really, really painful losses recently. Also, change the name already, god. Yeah I agree, the last few times we played them I thought we should win going into the game and lost all 3 in really annoying frustrating ways. The last time I remember beating them, Urlacher got a TD reception on a fake FG. Didn't the Bears win the game where Briggs clothes-lined Patrick Ramsey and knocked him out of the game? Was that in 2003? After looking it up it looks like that's actually the last time the Bears have beaten the Skins. Bears are 2-10 in their last 12 against them.
  2. Elias is basically the stereotypical Cardinal fan. Yep, he used to make creepy Youtube videos talking about the Cardinals like a [expletive] psycho. Plenty of overreactions to relatively meaningless losses, strange love affairs with gritty players like Eckstein and Aaron Miles, but the worst was his video he made after Edmonds signed with the Cubs. He eventually took the video (along with all the others he made) down, but someone posted a Desipio recap of the video on the last page. http://www.desipio.com/?p=1474 Unfortunately, text doesn't do the video justice. It's his mannerisms and overall geeky redneck appearance that make old Elias a legend. Imagine this dude: http://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/169/634/16963479_640.jpg Sounding like he is bubbling with rage as he says things like "Jim Edmonds…is officially a member of the SHITcago Cubs." and "Any time a player of Jim Edmonds’ stature goes from the Cardinals to the Cubs, I automatically hate that person as an individual, as a player and as a human being. Forever."
  3. I got Switzerland, USA, Ecuador, England.

  5. I'm so glad that Elias Coblentz is in my life again.
  6. I hate Puig mostly because we all laughed at the Dodgers for overpaying for someone who wouldn't be as good as Soler. Still might not end up being but I have to admit I didn't think he'd be this good.
  7. They probably see the Bears still getting lots of turnovers and assume the defense is solid. On offense they are probably just basing it of last year's team adding on a slight improvement because they half heard something on NFL Primetime about Marc Trestman.
  8. Apparently this is a rough translation of what was said in that video. Brutal tearing apart of FMF
  9. Strangely enough the sting is less and less each time the Cardinals win the World Series (yes they've already won it, its over). The only time it gets annoying is seeing FB friends that talk about the Cardinals.
  10. It's not too bad after @GB, v. Baltimore, v. Dallas. The Bears have 5 of the last 10 vs. offenses in the top 1/2 of the league. They've had 4 already, though, and GB will be missing their leading WR in the first game. They play 6 games against bottom 10 defenses, including 5 games against the worst 7 defensive teams so far. The Bears play at all the mediocre-to-bad teams (Philly, Cleveland, Minnesota, Washington, St. Louis) and get the decent teams (Baltimore, Detroit, Dallas) at home with a home/home vs. GB. Yeah I actually think the schedule is quite favorable all year actually. Coming into the year I thought playing the AFC North and NFC East would make the schedule really difficult, but all of the east teams are beatable, and Cincinnati is really the only legit tough team in the north, and we already beat them. The only games left on the schedule I don't favor us in are the GB games, although GB is injury ravaged and overall looks to be not as good as recent years. Trust me I've tried to go through the schedule as pessimistically as possible and I keep coming up with 9-7 or 10-6. Of course we could finish worse than that but on paper its hard to chalk up more than 4 additional losses from their remaining schedule.
  11. That's an incredibly old story. It doesn't sit all that great with me but it's not really a big deal. I never understood why this was a big deal. I bet you this happens every year. Even if it doesn't, them buying tickets doesn't mean they don't care about the result, or are resigned to losing. It just means they are planning ahead. I'm sure they wanted nothing more than to cancel those tickets.
  12. That's gross but hilarious WE LOVE YOU! WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
  13. ONLY MY TEAMS WIN WHEN WE WANT THEM TO LOSE
  14. That won't matter, Mexico had to win for any chance of that. oh yeah wtf am i talking about lol
  15. Now watch Jamaica score to send Mexico through to WC
  16. lol we win
  17. ATTENTION! ATTENTION GOL A ESTADOS UNIDOS
  18. SOB
  19. 4 more mins in CR
  20. darn
  21. I can't cheer against the USA even when its meaningless for us, but I was pretty close to upset that we scored there. Poor Panama, this means everything to them, they're at home and Mexico is losing.
  22. Not anymore
  23. that is so [expletive] perfect
  24. Here, found some videos of happier moments in the 2003 run: Sosa's HR to tie game 1 (ignore that they lost this one): http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=25719193&query=2003%2Bnlcs Cubs win game 5 of the NLDS: http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=19984787&query=2003%2Bnlcs That's all stupid mlb.com has on their site. I still havent seen a video of the Ramirez Grand Slam since the night it happened.
