    I see Joe Blanton has decided to blow this one.
  2. Outshined_One
    I don't see how the Bears can beat the Vikings.
  3. Outshined_One
    Brett Favre is there to help Jennings!
  4. Outshined_One
    Adrian Peterson is terrifyingly good.
  5. Outshined_One
    That was a really ticky-tack penalty.

    It's pretty shocking that of all the announcers across the country we end up with such colossal idiots on these broadcasts. Are there any intelligent football broadcasters out there for Fox or CBS? I feel like every Sunday afternoon game makes my ears bleed thanks to the announcers.

    John Shoop agreed with that call.

    "Hey, you know what would make a great plot for our show? What if we turned The Hangover into a murder mystery?"

    I want the McCaskeys to sell the team. The Bears haven't been as terrible as, say, the Redskins, but fans really need to start giving them the Dan Snyder treatment.

    Dear Lord.
  11. Outshined_One
    Wow, a rushing TD. Haven't seen that in awhile.

    Rob Ryan is disgustingly obese. Dear Lord.

    Oh no, I might smell gasoline when filling up my car!
  14. Outshined_One
    Pretty sure I heard that, too.
  15. Outshined_One
    This is getting sad.

    "Shaun Rogers versus Olin Kreutz...should be a beauty!" Two of the most overrated players at their positions in the NFL do battle!
  17. Outshined_One
    Cripes, Bennett.

    I wanted to see Hester steamroll the punter on that.
  19. Outshined_One
    Oh, Tom Cable, you rascal.

    In selling the Cubs, Sam Zell would have taken a much greater tax hit had he transferred full ownership.
  21. Outshined_One
    National Championship would probably be the only way.
  22. Outshined_One
    Wisconsin also has a game at Hawaii to finish their season on December 5th for some bizarre reason.

    I like the jerseys, but they look freaking weird with the white helmets. My friend had an extra ticket to the Illini game today. I was bummed that I missed Purdue/Wisconsin and Indiana/Iowa for tailgating, but oh well. Judging from the numbers, apparently every offensive player for the Badgers ran the ball today. This was the sharpest I had ever seen Juice Williams and the Illini look in a really, really, really long time. Tate Forcier is not good. He does a bad job of sensing the pressure, can't secure the ball to save his life, and makes some really questionable decisions when under pressure. Maybe he'll develop, but still, yeesh.

    There are some concerns about his age, but the rumors about him being 26 don't seem to have much basis beyond pure speculation. It's clear Chapman will need time in the minors if he is going to develop in a meaningful way. From what I've read, he needs to clean up his mechanics and, as Tim mentioned, he's a bit raw in terms of his stuff and command. Still, if he pans out, he could be a fantastic pitcher.

    Hey, if Ricketts follows through on this by doubling the scouting budget, hiring more sabremetric analysts, bringing better minor league coaches into the system, increasing the draft budget, and so on, I'll be ecstatic. The same holds true for player acquisition and development in the majors. I'm happy they came out and said he wanted to build a World Series winning franchise. I'm happy they hit on all the right notes and gave enough specifics to sound like they had a plan of action to build this team. But, it's easy to say the right things. When he was hired, Dusty Baker said a lot of the right things. So did Lou Piniella. So did Jim Hendry. We've been down that road before and we've been burned before. Hence my skepticism. I'm not saying the Ricketts believe things like this team needs to be more left-handed or that OBP is worthless or that young pitchers are too babied. I am saying we don't know those things yet. I have hope that the Ricketts will build the Cubs such that they win multiple World Series rings...but I still worry.
