    Akron, who hasn't won any road game since 2008, is App Stating Michigan 10-7 midway through the 3rd quarter.

    Dude Farnsworth is still playing? He needs to find his way back on the Cobs next year just to come full circle. Tai's til 4 misses him.

    Let's say Kane decided he wanted to move on. Where would he have the chance to a) win the cup basically every season, b) play in a city as good as Chicago and c) play in a system that maximizes his talent? I'm not saying there isn't one but that's what he'd be leaving if he took more money. Of course if they win the cup this year he may just want to get paid and not care about anything else Kane has won 2 Cups already. Not saying that winning isn't a primary motivation, but he won't have that lingering "i might never win a Cup" feeling in the back of his head when deciding to play for a team that isn't as set up to win immediately. I could easily see him wanting to play for Buffalo and trying to bring a cup to his hometown. That's the only place I could really see him leaving Chicago for at this point but who knows in 2 years.

    This is a great question. Jason Collins is/was a marginal player so one can turn a blind eye to him not being signed (I think he is still an NBA caliber player but obviously he was not a star). Kerry Rhodes is much much better and isn't getting any interest for him even though he isn't even out. Bizarre and upsetting.

    As recently as 2010, when I went there and did the "tour" there, they still brewed there. I'm not really sure if they do after the whole acquisition thing. And it's Clybourn. They brew there, but only for the bar/pub. It's great beer no matter where it's made, except for the 312. InBev doesn't own the Goose Island bar/pubs (Wrigleyville and LP) and yeah they still brew there.

    Why is he STILL talking? Because Fox pays him money to.

    In today's pointless news story of the day, Urlacher says that every Bear player reached out to him after he retired except Jay Cutler.

    USA is now 13th in the latest FIFA rankings. Mexico down to 21st. http://deadspin.com/usmnt-moves-up-to-13th-in-latest-fifa-world-rankings-1300935896

    I honestly only think I'd trade coaches with about four schools right now. Just curious to see who those coaches/schools are.... Callipari, Izzo, Coach K and Roy Williams? (assuming you aren't trading to get Bill Self back)

    So Jay was 1 for 2 in getting flags when he emphatically points at something.
  15. UMFan83
    It's definitely more pure, but I'm not enthusiastically in favor of this either.

    I havent been able cared enough to watch much, can anyone explain exactly why Shark sucks right now? Dude has a 5.85 ERA over his last 12 starts.
  17. UMFan83
    Perfect time to replace it with a 15 or 6. Jay's not going anywhere, but for some reason I'm scared to buy his jersey until he is re-signed. My Briggs jersey has lasted me a solid 5 years and I hope it will last at least a couple more before I have to get a new one.
  18. UMFan83
    tres a cero doesnt fit as well i guess
  19. UMFan83
    Ahhh Clint :(
  20. UMFan83
    yay!

    If Mexico loses this, is their ceiling pretty much a playoff against NZ at this point?
  22. UMFan83
    Sorry to break the bad news but we were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday :(

    Deng and the Bulls broke off extension talks and Deng's agent says Deng will explore FA after next season. Meh. http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story/_/id/9658990/report-chicago-bulls-table-luol-deng-contract-extension-talks

    I started Lamar Miller and Issac Redmond as 2 of my 3 RBs (deep league, 12 teams, 2 QB, 4 WR, 3 RB) and they combined for 0.10 fantasy points last week. Yeah I know my RBs actually kind of suck (WR and QB are much better), but still I expect more than that. And yeah the new Yahoo [expletive] sucks. It told me in the 3rd quarter of Skins-Eagles yesterday that I had a 92% chance of winning in one of my leagues and 82% in another and I lost both. I am blaming it on Yahoo.

    Funny thing about Power Rankings...using ESPN's power rankings, the Bears have been in the top 10 at least 1 week in each of the last 9 seasons (since 2005), but have also been 22 or lower in 6 of those 9 years.
