  1. I felt like I was watching the Bears play the Bears today. What an ugly and boring game. Did anyone ever get an explanation for why the hell the coaching staff called the fake FG when they did?
  2. Champs Sports Bowl against Miami.
  3. These games are going to range from blowouts to unbelievably boring. The BCS keeps finding new ways of giving people ammunition for a playoff system.
  4. I agree that Cincy has the better resume, but I think TCU is the better team and would make for a better opponent for Alabama.
  5. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Cincy/TCU bowl game, with the winner getting votes for #1.
  6. Should Mack Brown or Colt McCoy get the blame for not realizing how much time was left on the clock?
  7. I really like him, actually. I'd probably prefer him over Granderson since he wouldn't need a platoon handcuff. The question is the price. The Phils would want quite a bit for him, I'd imagine.
  8. I just had a flashback to my childhood. http://bp1.blogger.com/_9KEwm1OoTs8/R0TiPTau_1I/AAAAAAAAAig/Getslo5P0Xg/s320/gooker2.jpg
  9. I predict the Cubs will pick up an FA off the garbage pile this winter who will fill that role effectively. My money's on Alex Cora. Cora's already with Mets for 2MIL! haha He would have been a perfect fit, too. :(
  10. I predict the Cubs will pick up an FA off the garbage pile this winter who will fill that role effectively. My money's on Alex Cora.
  11. [-( I refuse to believe the Cubs would target such a player. He can play patty-cake with Tyler Colvin in AAA in between horrific plate appearances. :P
  12. BA put Starlin Castro at #9 on their Top 10 Arizona Fall League prospects list. Considering he's keeping company on this list with guys like Strasberg, Posey, Ackley, and Freeman, that's a very good thing for him. Link (Subscribers only)
  13. There's always the option of waiting on Bradley and dealing him before the deadline next season. He could put up good enough numbers and be far enough through his contract that a team in contention would be happy to take him in exchange for better players than what they'd trade now.
  14. Agreed. I guess when John Amaechi came out, it wasnt as interesting as if it had been Michael Jordan or Patrick Ewing. It was almost as interesting as Bill Simmons outing Wilt Chamberlain on the Colbert Report because Wilt never married and owned cats.
  15. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=tsn-tigerscubscontinueto&prov=tsn&type=lgns Would you give up Cashner/Vitters/spare part(s) for Granderson? I'd consider giving up one or the other with a low level prospect or two for Granderson. I'd think about giving up both for Granderson and Edwin Jackson, although I'm not a huge fan of Jackson.
  16. From Ask BA this week:
  17. I imagine it started from something like this... *Bears President and CEO Ted Phillips watches MNF with various staff members* Phillips: God, I can't believe ESPN signed Gruden to an extension. He shouldn't be working for them; he's so awful. *Staff member casually chats with media contact over lunch the next day* Staff Member: Yeah, Phillips can't believe Gruden's still working for ESPN and signed an extension. Media Contact: OH MY GOD HE'S LOOKING TO REPLACE JERRY ANGELO AND IS EVALUATING POTENTIAL REPLACEMENTS!
  18. So, the Bears basically have two options when it comes to QBs... 1) Guys with good arms, but who have a tendency to throw crippling interceptions and periodically make bad decisions 2) Guys with noodle arms who are relatively smart, but can't advance the team down the field to save their lives This is becoming a disturbing trend.
  19. They do sign bigger names than the Cubs down there. The Cubs own South Korea, though. I think Escobar is overrated but he's definitely a top 40 guy. Wow, Gamel is still a rookie by 2 at bats, I didn't know that. Escobar and Gamel isn't a solid top 2 - reminiscent of Castro and Vitters in fact. Jeffress is too high to do anything. I do like Arnett. Lawrie has good potential. As does Scarpetta. After that, well, I can't say there's a whole lot.
