    Can't wait for Bears Twitter to flip out when Jimmy has a better game than Mitch and beats the Bears after the Niners acquired him for less than the Bears did for Mitch.

    Dusty really needs something better to do in his free time Edit: oh wait Fangraphs, nevermind he has no idea what that is

    I was so close to pointing out the Bears were 5th in the NFL in rushing yards and YPA earlier this week.

    Cohen has to be the worst kickoff returner in the league.

    Thanks for sharing, that was a good read

    I think this is a good thing for the Cubs. If he is looking for a team to blow him away with an articulate and detailed plan etc that is where Theo can shine

    That was insane, I’m glad I caught that this was going on via twitter and was able to watch the last 9 mins or so. Part of it was just because Minnesota really didn’t have any clue how to use their extra guys. Sometimes they triple teamed the ball handler, other times it looked like they were guarding ghost players on Alabama

    Between the Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks all being in last place and another season with 0 UM rivalry wins, I’m ready for Cubs baseball (and UM basketball) Everyone says Michigan should be great next year but they have to play at Notre Dame, Northwestern, Michigan State and Ohio State plus home games against Penn State and Wisconsin, I have a hard time seeing anything less than 2 losses

    If GarPax’s excuse of nobody they liked being available was true, why wouldn’t you trade it for a future pick at least? I believe that pick was the Deng pick we hoped would be a 1st for years. So basically we traded Deng for cash (which ironically enough is how we got him)

    Sad potential ending of a career

    Ohtani, Hendricks, Lester, Darvish, Quintana seems fine (in no specific order)

    *looks at source and sees Sean Sears*

    TBH I’d much rather keep Wilson than sell low on him. I think there’s a pretty good chance he has a bounce back and is actually a pretty valuable part of the pen next year.

    This sounds good

    That's actually pretty cool. Cubs making a guest visit to the Grapefruit League

    I've never wanted to admit steroid users to the HOF more than I do right now.

    So we're now tied with the Colts and Broncos for 4th worst record in the league. I think the Bears have played the 3rd hardest schedule so far so they would lose tiebreakers to both and pick 6th. Any early thoughts on who we should draft in the first round? Side rant: I get the logic why the team with an easier SOS should win the tiebreaker, but given how impossible it is to balance schedules, I think it should be the other way around and you should not further penalize a team that was already forced to face a harder schedule by giving them a lower draft pick.

    The Cubs and Marlins will be the first scheduled game on Opening Day, at 11:30 AM ET, broadcast on ESPN: (Edit: Just read the fine print..ESPN broadcast will be blacked out in Chicago, so guessing Len and JD on the call)

    What Pace said when he cut Gould and signed Barth: Yeesh

    Tanker of the night: Justin Holiday

    Yeah, he definitely feels pressure that isn't there at times. Only was sacked once (only time they were really close) and it was his fault for that weird early scramble right into the line. Obviously, he had some sacks that were his fault last week. He had the unnecessary back foot throw incomplete to Wheaton on 3rd and 9. He didn't set for a couple other throws. But I think that will come in time. Actually, having WRs he has some confidence in will really help. I think he feels OK about the OL, but my guess is he feels like he has a small window to get the ball to his receivers before the defense recovers, causing some rushed passes. Beyond the mechanics of the dropback, I think he isn't processing D's fast enough to set his feet and make accurate throws. Agree with all of this. The game is just a little fast for him right now but it's encouraging that the things he needs to work on are pretty minor all things considered and are largely a product of experience. Like at least you can see all the makings are there to be a high quality QB. Just a lot of throws today that he wishes he could have back. For a rookie QB with just 13 college starts, I’m kind of amazed that he only has 2 interceptions in 6 starts.

    Lovie (autotranslates to livid) was good but left a lot to be desired and the bears were right to move on after nearly a decade, but did a horrible job replacing him. Lovie was so much better than some give him credit for, though. I think he was an acceptable coach but was one that came on board to a young crop of very good to elite defensive talent which happened to fit the scheme he brought in perfectly. He did a good job executing that system and bringing in (via Angelo) pieces to supplement the core and obviously his reputation as a players coach was well deserved.
