Then Kyle shows up, blows up the comments section. lol
-
I don't *think* the Cubs would go higher than that, either.
-
I wouldn't go anywhere near that far. They were putting together a major league team to sell.
-
Indeed. Guess trading your running back for a 1st rounder isn't all that bad an idea after all.

That's exactly what we said when Epstein was hired. No *way* he'd be hired just to gut the payroll and run an expansion-style rebuild. I could've made this post for you; I was so sure it was coming. Hey, I'm thinking the Ricketts DID make promises that ultimately they couldn't keep; I do still think that Theo would have come here if he knew the money issue was going to be what it's seemingly turned out to be. If the farm doesn't start seriously paying off in the next two seasons I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Epstein walk when his deal is done. I don't think he would have come here if he would have known the realities. Yeah, he's blowing this joint if things don't start paying off in the next couple years.
-
Not sure why the Cubs would do that if Girardi is the guy they want. It's only what, 28 days to wait maximum? Less if Girardi takes a deal from NY sooner.
-
I don't think that Telander rant is going to be one-of-a-kind, so get ready. Especially if things don't go well next year.
-
Sun-Times article is interesting. It means Girardi is seriously considering coming here. Otherwise he would just accept the Yanks' offer and remain in NY.
-
Yeah, not seeing it. Thanks for posting the article -- but it seems like a lot of blather to me.
-
He would have shown more by now if he was going to be a good player. Maybe they can salvage him in some kind of hybrid LB role? I don't know. But it won't be enough to be able to feel good about him. It was a bad pick.
-
I would make a joke about Jags fans, but I'm not sure there ARE any Jags fans.
-
Damn. Might be the best noon slate of games all year and I won't have access to my NFLST :( Probably head out to the bar Sunday instead.

2013-14 Defending Champion Blackhawks Regular Season Thread
Soul replied to Drew Doughty's topic in Other Sports
Nice little PP sequence there. -
Definitely hoping it means what pitchcs thinks it means.
-
Who did that? @AndrewMarchand Source: Yanks unlikely to give Girardi permission to talk with Cubs unless negotiations breakdown between Yanks and Girardi's agent So, basically if Girardi wants it. Should be interesting to see what goes down tomorrow. It will be. Here's a link to the entire article posted by Marchand, if anyone hasn't found it yet. http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/9753902/gm-brian-cashman-wants-joe-girardi-return-new-york-yankees-manager Sounds like the Yanks will offer Girardi a deal to stay in NY, and Cashman believes he'll take it.

It's largely a Bear fan thread, and there's pro-Bear "fan arguments" going on. Go figure.

Burleson posted pix of his totalled vehicle, including the pizza he tried to save. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000254114/article/nate-burleson-posts-photos-of-pizzacaused-car-wreck It was Happy's Pizza. Notice the half-eaten piece in one of the pix. So, after totalling the car, he figured might as well eat some of it.
-
No. He's just a manager. I'll say I'm pleasantly surprised at how well the Yankees did in that division this year with that godawful roster. I didn't realize just how bad it was. That's about all I've got. Yes, but that's pretty much what the hope would be in 2014 with the Cubs, too. Get some "pleasant surprises" out of a mostly crap roster, rather than what happened this year with the unwelcome regression of several players. I'm not going to argue that people should be excited about Girardi, but to me he does seem like a pretty good fit. I'm just surprised he wants to go through this, at this point. It's still going to be a lot of losing for awhile.

In terms of the actual game next weekend, I was hoping to see something in tonight's game with the Dolphins that might give me some reason to think the Bears would hang with the Saints. I know they are different teams, but I'm not seeing how the Bears slow down the Saints without significant QB pressure. I don't see the coverage happening against all these options if Brees has time to throw, and the Bears aren't bringing the pressure. And the Saints' D is playing much better. The PF/PA ratio is pretty impressive. Without a few turnovers to tip the balance, I don't see the Bears' units hanging with this team right now. I'm going to give an early prediction on this one: 34 - 24 Saints. Bears drop to 3-2. They climb back up to 4-2 the following week against the trainwreck Giants.

Marshall's been a success in 3 separate offenses. Because he is a great WR. Since we're allowing cubbievirus to spawn a pointless debate, thought I'd just feed it a little :P

Damn you for last week, and double damn you for this week!
-
Well yeah, but he wouldn't have any choice here either. What is your point? The fact is, he did work with younger players that year, and he did pretty good with them. It was an even more extreme situation than ours, even. I'm pretty sure the Cubs could do far, far worse than Joe Girardi. So....careful what you wish for.
-
It's used with other QB's...those with consistency issues. Just a couple examples: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1338843-new-york-giants-comparing-good-eli-to-bad-eli-vs-tampa-bay http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/columnists/tim-cowlishaw/20121028-cowlishaw-too-much-bad-tony-means-another-heartbreaking-loss.ece It started with Grossman, right?

NFL Playoffs Could Expand to 14 teams as early as 2014
Soul replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Other Sports
True. Didn't it used to be 28 teams w/ 12 though?
