    Why does Baez need to prove himself at AAA? Is there something he specifically is not doing well yet, or is this just a Theo philosophy that all prospects need to dominate at that level? If it's the latter, that's pretty bizarre. There have been top prospects who skipped AAA and did just fine -- obviously.

    Hopefully it's just the doldrums.

    Damn it duncan

    He certainly is good at talking.

    So what if the novelty wears off? I'd like it to move past being a novelty item, and into an actual thing. Loved that game Saturday. The snow, the cold, everything.

    NHL receives less attention here in general, everyone knows that. The Hawks get pretty good coverage considering this, IMO

    What do you mean?

    I'm starting to like the idea of trading down more, although it would all depend on the details. I wonder if several teams will want to do the same, given the apparent depth of this draft class. That might make it harder.

    Tazer having a nice game so far

    Re-design your unis after a few down seasons, to generate cash flow. That's got to be a bullet-point in a sports franchise success book, somewhere.

    Poop.

    I'm rooting against more blackhawks than I'm rooting for. It's too weird.

    Do you want us to prove to you that you actually can see him being successful, or do you want him to prove to you that he can be successful? I don't have high hopes for the experiment, partially because I don't see anything resembling top end defensive coaching available to Shea. But I can see it working out. I meant that I wouldn't mind if the Bears/Shea prove me wrong on it. It's the last gasp for what appears to be a big 1st round miss (as Banedon said).

    I can't see Shea @ LB being successful. Feel free to prove me wrong.

    They like sledding in Deutschland. So, they get golds riding their sleds. They ought to rank these golds in terms of ones that actually involve doing something, and ones that involve just jumping on a sled.

    So, he's saying that Jernigan is a reach, but the Bears should do it anyway? That's not a very good idea.

    because they're scoring over and over but in the NHL, you cycle through new guys. If it goes 7 or 8 "innings", you're 3rd SO skater doesn't do innings 3-8 Agreed, it makes it even worse than the NHL shoot outs. Not only is it not hockey, but it's also just 2 v 2. Terrible format

    The Manziel = Romo comparison seems way off to me. I don't think of those two as anything like each other. Really? I actually think that's a pretty good comparison for Manziel. Yeah. The big difference that sticks out to me is the running ability. I felt like Garcia was a better comparison - which he touched on, but discarded.
  20. Soul
    No chance.

    Based on the history, that's the problem. They have no idea if it's the right move or not. Or what the right move might look like.

    Conditions were obviously horrible on that half-pipe. Even I can see it. Overall these games have been pretty much terrible, from empty seats to mediocre opening ceremonies, to subpar conditions.
  24. Soul
    Pretty good point, IMO. I'm hoping the extent of this is some media-driven copy during training camp, which fades once the games start. Hard to guarantee that, though.

    Removing Cutler from this for the sake of attempting to be objective. Wilson and Smith seem to fit perfectly in Angelo's description for the 7.0 - 7.4 group. But he's got them ranked 2 full groups ahead of that. He seems to be giving them individual extra credit for the accomplishments of the rest of their teams -- especially the defenses. Not to rail on Wilson -- he's my boy (Badgers), and had a great year, obviously. But the best defense in the league as well. Smith operated with DVOA's #9 defense. And if I didn't know the numbers associated with each of his descriptions, I would have had difficulty knowing that his 7.5 - 7.9 group was supposed to be higher than the 7.0 - 7.4 group.
