We didn't need Wood's career to be super long. We just needed a little gas left in the tank for '04 (and Prior too of course).

So bad it becomes good.

We're so close I can taste it.

You poor bastards.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that glass is going to be thick enough to repel even the hardest of foul balls with ease. I'm holding out hope for a catastrophic engineering miscalculation. Either with the tank, or the monstrosity in the outfield.

LOL. King's calm, logical analysis continues to entertain.

Really? Yeah, check his free blog. Its still a longshot but higher odds than usual. That's really overselling it. He doesn't "really like" Vermont to win. He's picking the least ugly dog from the dogs. His article makes that pretty clear.

He asked for a purple elephant Santa. Of the 3, clearly Lebron is the least human.

I'm just really happy for Lucas tonight. I love little stories like this. His moment of glory. Hopefully there will be more in the future.

Linsanity!!!!! Oh wait, we still suck. Nevermind.

Defense and the best second unit in the league. Yeah we're just getting the performances from the bench. At least for now.

Nice job CJ

Who is she? Don't know, never seen her before. I'll try to catch the name.

Man, sideline reporter is hot.

You blew up the two greatest arms to come through our system in generations. We didn't have PATIENCE? LOL.

For a shooter, Kyle Korver sure sucks at shooting.

The Cubs were screwing themselves by charging people less than the market would allow. I get what you're saying, but those fans aren't getting screwed in any way by having to pay what the market deems that those tickets are worth. If they can't afford to go or choose not to spend the money, that's on them. Somebody else will. I would hate to live in your world. And I hate that my son will not be able to see as many MLB baseball games live with his father as I saw with mine. Oh FFS. Get the hell out with that [expletive]. The one thing I'll say is this: they don't yet know that the market will demand this price. They're taking an educated guess. If people didn't buy, or if they decide not to come but then can't re-sell (then next year's tickets go unsold), then the true price may wind up being lower. I understand the reasoning and agree with it, but saying "this is what the market demands" is not entirely accurate. They're guessing that this is the demand. If people then buy, and continue to, then it is confirmed.

Let's say we sign Mario and then Floyd falls to us in the draft. Party time :yahoo:

Well, 2 minutes left & a 5 point lead. Rose with the breakaway! 7 point lead now.

You know if we sign Mario I'll be ecstatic. I want to see Cutler unchained. I hear what you're saying.....how good could this guy be with some real targets? When will we see a guy of his quality at QB in a Bear uni again?

Gibby with the RBBI!! Then Rose wit da slammer!

It doesn't maximize a new strength on the team, which is the passing arm of Cutler. I think a premiere pass rusher to go along with an even better pass rusher will bring more benefit to this team than Jackson. Not saying Jackson wouldnt help that much because he would help immensely, but if we got Williams we'd have the best pass rush in the league. As you know, Lovie's Cover 2 is absolutely dependent on getting to the QB (ok most defenses are). Having that pass rush changes or defense from slightly above average to among the best in the league IMO. Plus, while there are other options at WR that will help the Bears a ton, IMO the drop between Williams and the next best option is much bigger than Jackson and Colston. Yeah that's true, but the way I'm looking at it, we already have a premiere pass rusher in Peppers. Pass rush shouldn't be a weakness. I'm also thinking Izzy should have a little better season because he was inordinately down last year, IMO. I don't think the Bears will be a poor pass rushing team next year. Melton should also contribute... On the other hand, my thinking has us blowing years off a franchise QB arm, when we obviously don't see talent at that position very often. It's absolutely critical we capitalize in that area while we can because we struggle in that area and have a real opportunity right now. I have a certain confidence in our ability to court and/or develop defensive pieces. I'm much more nervous about our ability to assemble offense, and want to see us take advantage when we can.

That was pretty damn ugly. Like a blown safety coverage, only in basketball.

We can add a second tier WR though, like a Manningham and still get Williams. And draft a WR in the 1st, if we like someone enough. And if we don't like someone enough, or our guy is gone, then poof. So don't go for Williams on the chances we don't get a shot at a WR we like in the first round? Obviously it depends on a number of factors, but I would target VJax first and foremost.
