    I love Boers and Bernstein, they have a great skill in arguing. They stick to their guns and articulate themselves.

    Oh wow, must be a continuation from yesterday's show where the same stuff was going on. There were 2 callers that called in that actually suggested that they bench Grossman and bring in Orton. Man this Rex thing is going to tear apart the Bears fans on this city. And any homophobic or anti-semetic comments are very immature, but Boers and Bernstein are known for stradling the line of decency on the airwaves.

    And Chelski wins the game 1-0. Barca did not look very good on offense, but they got a few chances that went by.

    Care to elaborate? I just turned it on and caught the last minute of the Angelo talk

    I posted it in social, but I don't think there are any responses yet.

    The computers can, but the human polls, which still have a rather large pull in the BCS still have a penalty for losing late. And to who proposed an OSU-Michigan rematch in the championship game, what good would that accomplish? The worst thing would be if Michigan beat OSU by 10 in Columbus and then OSU beat Michigan by 1 on neutral ground. What if the AP decided to vote Michigan #1 anyways?

    If you have any extras, heh :mrgreen:

    GEE SO GLAD THE CHICAGO MARKET IS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE GB-MIA INSTEAD OF A GREAT CIN-CAR MATCHUP. Geez, I hate Brett Favre
  9. UMFan83
    Sad as it is to say, if he doesn't return this season, that fumble return might be his last big memory with the Bears

    Sorry if this has already been discussed, I don't feel like going through 8 pages, but using Tim's guesstimate bid and salary, how does that affect the Cubs payroll? $28 million or $4 million? If the latter, where does the remaining $24 million come into play in terms of FA signings etc.

    Thats what I was thinking when we signed Lou. Was not around for Leo, but I hear it was an interesting time

    According to Baseball Reference, these are his 10 most similar batters: 1. Cliff Floyd (943) 2. Jermaine Dye (936) 3. Mike Sweeney (934) 4. Paul Konerko (932) 5. Magglio Ordonez (928) 6. Carl Everett (921) 7. Richie Zisk (917) 8. Derrek Lee (916) 9. Carlos Beltran (914) 10. Rondell White (912) Pretty good representation of above average yet not quite star hitters of this generation (and pretty bizarre that 9 of the 10 listed here are active players)

    You were drunk. I'm always drunk, that doesn't mean anything....but now that I think about it, the jerk wouldn't sign my flask even after I threw it down to him.
  14. UMFan83
    He's been known to describe Neifi's bat as "stellar" Fake edit: Just kidding....I think
  15. UMFan83
    I'd also like to know this. Do they count the people that tune in for only a part of the game? For example, I know I usually couldn't make it past the 3rd inning this year. I think they're measured by having some households a device that tracks their TV viewing habits. This is then extrapolated to the entire region. I don't know how you could do that though. You just don't take 1 or 5% of the city, take the percentage of those who switch on the game, and then extrapolate from that, to 100%. It's just not going to be accurate. I always thought it worked like radio in that they could simply detect the signals coming in and when they switched off. Statistically speaking, it is very accurate with of course the margin of error added in. People use sample sizes of 1-5% (even less) in many important estimations, including government and business statistics.

    I am sorry, I interacted with Pujols in the RF bleachers before the home opener this year for probably a good 5-7 minutes, and he was probably the nicest "star" ballplayer I've ever met. I am not saying that because of this one experience that he's not a jerk, but due to my experience, its gonna be very hard for me to accept it.
  17. UMFan83
    This umpire is pathetic. Who is behind the plate tonight?
  18. UMFan83
    Looks like the Cubs will post a bid: http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-061017cubsside,1,4937329.story?coll=cs-home-headlines

    I read that they already tabbed Philly @ Indy for that game. Both very good games... I'd like to see both. I'll be at the Bears/Pats game, and then flying back to Chicago that night, so I don't think I'll catch the Philly/Indy game.
  20. UMFan83
    Not to be a jerk, but that's insanely bad. What do you look at when you make your picks? I just go on gut and instincts, and maybe spending a few minutes a week thinking about picks . I am doing alright in the pick'em NSBB league for straight up picks, and I am in first place in 2 fantasy leagues. Oh well its for fun, and yes that was a really really really really pathetic week for me. Oh and I am good at winning events, as evidenced by my HR derby title, so this is obviously an abberation :) Edit: Oh and I should mention that I made this week's picks after coming from from the bars hammered at like 3am Second edit: Somebody has to be the Cubs of the ATS competition

    QFT. I almost forgot why it is so great to trade in Dusty Baker for ANY other manager. No more crappy excuse making and complaining about everything. Please hold people accountable Lou

    Everyones favorite and most reliable sports station WSCR says that sources indicated that the Yankees would be asking for Rich Hill and Felix Pie for starters.
  24. UMFan83
    Despite what I just said about how hard it is to acquire an ace, I think Pujols would carry a higher trade value too.
  25. UMFan83
    ...well after I 1-13 week, I've decided that I am not going to Vegas anytime soon until I learn how to gamble.
