Even if the Bears aren't going to spend a lot in FA, it doesn't make any sense to pay Taylor 4 million dollars to do the job a 4th rounder could do for a third of the price. I agree though, I'd hope they are at least willing to spend what the other guys in the division are spending. Funny how we have the lowest after all the crap about our FA spending last spring.

He has since backed off his statements saying it was out of context. That said, the whole team sucked at closing out in time last night. Btw, if Derrick "Can't play defense" then what the hell was Andre Miller doing last night? Pretending to be a traffic cone? Noah is a great help defender in the post IMO, but individually I think he struggles against the bigger low post defenders. I definitely think he's been overrated by Bulls fans in that regard. I don't think putting Noah on Aldridge last night down the stretch would have changed Aldridge's performance much.

What do most of us expect from some of the question marks?

Ugh. Yes well Soto will go from home to first plenty more times than Blake DeWitt or whoever hits 2nd will. -

Even less analysis than David. My opinion on whether X player will perform better, worse or the same as last year. I'll predict slash stats for the players I feel like doing it for. Castro - better .288/.340/.432/.772 DeWitt - same Ramirez - better, .290/.374/.510/.884 (I am going with a last harrah season for ARam, ala 2009 Lee) Pena - better, .241/.366/.490/.856 Soriano - same Soto - same Byrd - same Colvin - worse, i want to believe in colvin, i really do. Dempster - worse Garza - slightly better Zambrano - same Wells - slightly better If Silva is 5th starter - worse If Cashner or another pitcher is 5th starter - not enough info to judge Marmol - worse, gives up a few more HRs this year Wood - worse, was unstoppable for NYY, can't be that good this year can he Marshall - same, I think he's legit and figured it out in his role Don't really care/can't predict a role or usage for everyone else. Overall, I see a slightly below average offense, slightly above average pitching and somewhere in the 78-84 win range. -
Now that I've calmed down a bit, I am still holding out hope that they sneak into the 8th spot but lets face it. This team is just not good enough for whatever reason. They've been close to full strength for awhile and just arent getting results
-
blackhawks lose, bulls lose, packers win super bowl, blackhawks lose, bulls losing (but not over yet). Yay? /sulley
-
Yup, Hawks are not gonna be making the playoffs. Another loss tonight. Just 1-4-0 in their last 5 games. Where's the heart guys?
-
Were you recently suspended from Google too?
-
If all those numbers came true, the Cubs are going to be fighting to avoid 100 losses with their bottom 5 offense and bottom 10 rotation.
-
Speaking of Chris Williams, it's going to be really interesting to see what position he's playing next season. Yup weve been mentioning that for awhile here. I personally cannot understand how you can build a respectable line with that sort of track record in the draft.
-
Wasn't really expecting to spend 2 years in a row. We could still find a way to make a trade.

I like football a lot more than hockey. It is what it is. Can't speak for either fanbase, but the Hawks had the most anti-climatic championship ending in the history of pro sports. Only because of the announcing, if they had seen the puck it would have been one of the greatest ever. Wasn't Kane the only guy on the ice who actually realized the puck went in also? It wasn't like the announcers missed some obvious play. But I agree with the general sentiment - the way that game ended definitely made it anticlimactic. I think Sharp did too. I remember he reacted to it and said something about seeing it go in. But yeah everyone else in the arena was wondering why Kane went to the other end of the ice celebrating like a mad man. Even his teammates were extremely tentative in celebrating at first.

You were right when you were congratulating the douchebag rednecks on their super bowl title starting in week 5
-
[expletive] you packers.
-
4th and game
-
lol, flyers will get another shot this year.
-
They were blitzing too much, it was only a matter of time that Rodgers started finding open recievers and getting time to throw to them.
-
except Woodson's cutlering in the first half.
-
Sweet, in the last 6 years I've seen the 4 sports teams I've hated the most win championships (White Sox, Cardinals, Red Wings, Packers). If you extend it to 9 years, you add a 5th (Ohio State football).
-
This vaunted Steelers defense needs a [expletive] turnover
-
A big thank you to Mendenhall from Bears fans everywhere. Not
-
Wow, that's a game changer
-
MVP candidates at this point? If the Packers win I'd say either Jordy Nelson or Collins for the pick 6. Rodgers too I guess...its not his fault the receivers are dropping everything. If the Steelers win, I have no idea at this point. I guess it would depend on who or how the winning score is made.
-
I was just about to say that Tim Masthay is the anti Maynard but he kinda shanked that second punt attempt. Despite that, what a fantastic postseason for him
-
To me this is a catch and a first down, but I don't think the replay is conclusive enough so the call will stand.
