  1. Doesn't everyone already know this? Just hope one of our normally inadequate shooters can get hot at the right time. It can happen. Place all your hopes on it, and none of your money -- because that's probably what would put us over the top.

    It's a lip sync act. She doesn't really know any different. Suffice it say I'm glad it's not my style of music. I guess if you like dance routines and pre-recorded music that people pretend to perform, you like this.
  3. We have become a disaster area. Oh my god
  4. We just need to get back full strength (or as close as we can get with nagging injuries) and put our run together. We'll be fine. Obviously disappointing to lose last night, but like someone else mentioned -- the Heat lost to the Bucks, too. I'm enjoying the East being good. I'm actually thinking about buying the NBA package for the first time in years.
  5. I don't know. How can a hypothetical like that factor into a trade though? It's not hypothetical that he has a torn ligament in his wrist. No, but it's guesswork to say what he'd do about it with a different team before the move even happens. I guess you could ask him.

  7. I'm starting to think they're going to give us compensation I don't know what there is to "work on." Selig's not going to scour our system for players. I think he has a few other things to work on, like running the league.

    If I see Wilfork slobbering all over Eli Manning, I'll post a wonderful comparison to Mary Poppins. Won't that make me cool.

    In describing that game, the very last comparison I would turn to is Shakespeare. Yet, that's where he chooses to go with it. He apparently watched the Fridge, and watched Ditka, and came up with Shakespeare. I don't think I need to know anything else in evaluating what I think of his article.
  10. Adams is a total reach in the top 20. I bet he'd go ahead of the Bears second rounder, like you said. I think there's no doubt the Bears are going to go all out at Jermichael Finley given all the talk of TE. And then we'll get frustrated with his drops next season. Are the Packers for sure not franchising him? I hear that's the direction they're heading, rather than franchising Flynn... http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/playerbreakingnews.asp?sport=NFL&id=4717&line=226549&spln=1
  11. Yeah, I think I'd have to take the risk on Floyd's indiscretions if that's the final scenario. Do what you have to up front with the guy. Show him pictures of David Terrell. I don't know, hell. We could certainly use his talent.
  12. If you'd take him, then stifle your regrets.
  13. There are so many things I could say here, but all of them would be terribly inappropriate and bad.
  14. I hope it doesn't get into an extravagant bidding war with Miami. I want him on the team, but not if we're overpaying by a wide margin I guess I look at it like even if you end up overpaying, it won't be a crippling contract like overpaying for Prince or Pujols had the potential to be. I mean, even if he gets something like 6/$48, that's really not that much in the grand scheme of things when you're talking about a $130+ million payroll. Also, our current leadership is much less likely to be drawn into vastly overpaying.
  15. Isn't this basically a replay of Angelo? As I recall, JA had to go through the remainder of the Jauron era, then was able to fire him and make his own hire. It was really only then that he became the full GM. The difference is, Lovie is obviously a much better coach than Jauron. But still. Emery's not really a GM. At least not yet. Hopefully he can perform in free agency and run a draft. That will make me feel OK about things, if not overjoyed.
  16. Basically a little game of cat & mouse. We'll know soon enough if the guy can run a draft.
  17. Stuck at work, and we have pretty much all streaming radio options blocked. If there's anything of note I'd appreciate if you'd post (or someone else).
  18. Yeah, I don't think Nadal had anything more to give. He still couldn't quite get over the hump. I'm just happy to see what appears to be a renewal of sorts in the men's tennis area these past few years. Some good stuff happening.
  19. Eh, we were shorthanded and still almost beat them on the road. Stupid missed free throws. I'd like to hear the medical explanation of wearing a full-on shoulder brace when you can still play. To me that's grandstanding, plain & simple. Unless an actual doctor can convince me otherwise. Guy's a whiny media whore. But I guess we already knew that. Lebron being Lebron.
  20. Which radio personality? EDIT: Nevermind, found that it's Nick Wright. he made it sound like pioli is really really paranoid. Others have said it was so bad he was bugging offices, tapping phone lines.
  21. Even though I know the outcome, this is still amazing sports TV (watching the replay). I can't believe Djokovic broke Nadal right back in the 5th. It really looked like he might've been done. But no. Completely over-the-top in terms of just length and stamina.
  22. But who really cares about hiding that? It's already out there in the public domain, he's already going to get heckled. Well yeah, of course people are going to heckle him but right now it's just a blog anonymous rumor. Who knows where it came from or if it actually means anything.
  23. I see your point, but I think he can still make vague denials about having used roids while still taking the suspension. If he gets off, I don't see how he would be able to hide why.
  24. In that case just announce Jay Cutler has been hired as passing coordinator.
  25. I don't know if it's even a real statement, but yeah -- it seems like disclosing something like that would be a violation of HIPAA, unless Braun waives it. Is he really going to come out publicly as having an incurable STD to save 50 games in one season? I don't think that's how it will really shake out. I'm guessing he'll take his 50 games, even if he does have it. And deny that he has it.
