    Wow

    Can't keep your eyes off it even though you know 75% of it is very likely nonsense I know how you feel :)

    I hate when they give up a goal right before the end of a period

    Still think there's a chance the Cubs are being used as leverage, here. Also not convinced this 25mil/yr stuff is real.

    Priapism? Lol

    I like that win. It subtly reminds the Ducks - still better than you...

    That kind of money brings with it an enormous risk, as well.

    Who's been "really freaking out?" I haven't heard anyone come even close to that.

    I'm not even sure the whole "west coast preference" thing is real. Sounds more like speculation to me. Even if his wife did say it - doesn't mean it's really a factor.

    The last time Syracuse football was noteworthy (read: ranked), Paul Pasqualoni was their head coach. And it was a long, long time ago. I guess that's the biggest feather in his cap. Maybe the Bears are hoping he can tap into that a little bit.

    Can he teach? Because our LBs have a lot to learn.

    Every day that passes, Ricketts feels more & more like Bill [expletive] Wirtz.

    Sure, they want another SP. Everyone does. But that's an insane amount of money to heap on 2 arms, even for the Dodgers.
  17. Soul
    Yay for a win.

    Dude. We're down to Bear mock drafts, and perverted Cub mascot renderings. That's it. If you've got something better that you're holding out on, please feel free to post it.

    At least they spared us the obligatory shoot-out loss
  20. Soul
    That was incredibly un-awesome
  21. Soul
    What the hell is it with this team and OT?

    To me it's damning for a FO to claim rebuilding and then come up with a do-nothing offseason like this. They aren't one of the top options for Tanaka, so if that's what was holding them back: fail

    Even the dumb people know the Cubs are only doing half their job right now.

    I'll say one thing in defense of Tucker. When they brought him in the idea was to run the Lovie defense for continuity, and he did do that. The first 3 games were definitely good. Then the injuries and the deterioriation -- we all know the story. He hasn't run his own defense here. You can argue that he didn't make the right adjustments during the season, and you are correct. But he wouldn't be able to completely switch to his defense right in the middle of the season. He would need an offseason to install his defense, and it sounds like that's what Trestman is going to give him: a chance to run his scheme from the start of the offseason, with personnel decisions being made in conjunction with his scheme. Will it work? I don't have a lot of confidence, but that's got to be the argument for Tucker. He gets a year to do something other than be Lovie's shadow.

    I know. I keep telling myself it was the Browns and Jags, hoping that accounts for it. Still, if we are talking about a coach having enough of a positive effect to bring a bad defense to average, then those stats don't look promising. Because he had bad defenses then, too -- and couldn't get them up.
