I'm in a daze now, after reading that Mel Hall article. Unreal.
-
That was a fun read. Thx.
-
3 types of people in Chicago: 1) Those who love Jay Cutler 2) Those who can't admit they love Jay Cutler 3) Those who dooooon't caaaare (population: 1)

It's obviously all the homers he would have hit during the derby.
-
that's a giant [expletive] IsoD for Castro Rest him occasionally? 162 games in 2012, 161 in '13. 98 so far this year.
-
Yeah to me as well but I'm also pretty clueless.
-
Oh, Bears history is replete with examples of training camp glory - unrealized once real football started.
-
OK, that was reasonably humorous. :D
-
Training camp for me: first few days are usually fun. Then a lot of blah. I'll watch a couple of the preseason games as a distraction. I usually can't get them except online anyway, unless it's on DVR which sucks.
-
It's the "Skip Bayless" playbook for sports writing, or something. He hears a quote in the newspaper where another player mentions Chicago and then writes the obligatory "trade for him" piece. I feel like I've seen this same story a hundred times.
-
God. You did?
-
WUT. How long has it been since he was mentioned around these parts? Suddenly he comes out of the woodwork. Crazy.
-
LOL, you went all banner-gif freakout before there were animated gifs to post.
-
We were never sure if Orton had showered that day. He might not have been completely sober. And he still played better in '05 than the stupid 3-headed Krenzel/Quinn/Hutchinson monster the year before.
-
Yes, but this is part of what made him cool.
-
Many, many other Bears QBs I would put below Orton over the years, obviously.
-
Orton isn't really interested in playing at this point. He's been talking retirement. Apparently the Cowboys were fining him and everything -- for missing all the offseason activities. Yeah, he's not coming back.
-
Stuff like this makes me hate us not having a Hard Knocks even more I think we would discover that nobody likes Forte. Why In that video it looks like he was by himself the whole time, while most of the others were with some teammates. *shrugs* They like him well enough when he's scoring a TD.
-
I know McCown happened last year, but that's not likely most times. Like most good passing teams the Bears are one hit on Cutler away from really struggling.
-
Kings will have a gold ring, and the Jazz & Pacers won't. Sorry, but Jordan happened. YOU LOSE.
-
Let's go through some of the most ridiculous examples, if they really intend to go by franchise. The Thunder get one because they are technically the same franchise that won a single championship, 36 years ago, half a country away (SuperSonics). Atlanta Hawks get one because of the St. Louis Hawks in 1958. Kings get one because of the Rochester Royals in 1951.
-
The defense, or the team? I could easily see Tucker keeping his job with the defense failing to reach the top 15. If the team itself finishes in the bottom half there could be problems for a lot more coaches. Yes, i was maybe 60% on him being fired this offseason so I don't really know what they will do
-
Yes, there's a history. I'm definitely not saying he had much to work with, once Melton went down and then Briggs too. It was going to suck. But the Epic fail, the collapse of historic proportions -- some of that has to come back on him, too. Mostly I just don't think he's more than a position coach. He might even be a pretty good one, I don't know. I'd like to see someone else @ DC.
-
I don't know why I didn't pay enough attention to it until just now. But holy crap is Texas a dumpster fire.
-
You're convinced Tucker is a clown based on the poor play of a defense that at times had to start Landon Cohen, Shea McClellin at DE, Khaseem Greene, Zack Bowman, Isaiah Frey (nickel), Chris Conte and Major Wright? No. I'm convinced he's a clown in spite of that. No imagination, didn't get really any player to outperform. Why would you put Conte and Wright on that list, by the way? Those guys had their most catastrophic seasons under Tucker. It's not all because of the DLine. Maybe some or even most, but regardless -- their careers likely ended under this guy.
