    If they're not idiots about it the city will get paid back tenfold over time if they help with the initial investment. It's a win-win. If it's that much of a profit-maker, then the city knows the Cubs will eventually do it anyway, and then they can reap the benefits without sharing in the costs. Not if they actually get fed up and move.

    I don't think it's as common as you think it is. I can't make claims on how common it is. However, they most certainly do something similar to this where I work. They also weed out the weaklings during the training process. I'm glad they do.

    I love this game. I know I'm in the minority with this but low scoring defensive football is awesome. I like it too, but not being a fan of either team I'd prefer just a tad more scoring. Looks like we might be getting a little more now.

    Will they ever score? Not even on D?
  5. Soul
    Bad coaching, too. This is the #10 team in the country?

    If they get in the end zone, it's lights out for the Huskers.

    Nebraska's in some real pretty do-do now.

    It must be reiterated, any "future gains" that the taxes would bring in would be as a direct result of improvements to the stadium--they are already maxed out in attendance and have the first, or second, highest ticket prices. The city/county refuse to invest but want the Cubs to invest so the city/county can reap even MORE rewards (Cub fans pay higher taxes than any other privately owned stadium AND the team has, by far, the most onerous restrictions placed on it of any sports team in the U.S.). TR and the rest of the family need to get serious about the NW suburbs where a stadium would be paid for 100% by a new city/county. That will get the city's cooperation. It worked to get Mesa to budge on investing in a stadium. This would be a bigger stakes gamble, though. He'd have to play it really well for the bluff not to get called. A few more years of blocks falling from the superstructure of Wrigley, and I'm not so sure it would be a bluff.

    Pug is fine. Even cat lady thinks that's cute as hell.

    It should be a closer game than 8.5. You know one hit on Vick and they spiral down like a piece of toilet paper in the vortex of a flush. Not saying we should injure -- teams have been able to take him down hard in a clean way. He's not the most durable player in the world, and I think we can lay some good hits on him. He might complain about that, but I say hit him clean, hit him hard. That should slow things down for the Eagles. Let Vick run wild -- yeah, then it gets ugly.

    These beard jockeys must have extremely forgiving wives. Either that, or extremely gullible ones. Shave that ugly, stinky bird's nest.

    There is a Chicago sports team playing tonight? OMG.

    Don't think I like the logo. But. I really like the idea that the Marlins would give up on their insane notion that anyone from Northern Florida gives a flying [expletive] about them.

    you guys are too hell-bent on that. he took his shots back at a world that didnt treat him to greatly. he's bitter. so what. Wait. Hold on a second. The world didn't treat Ryne Sandberg too greatly? Yeah, but....raging anus? Good Lord.

    Front-office-wise, this is the greatest offseason in Cub history. I can't wait for Spring Training.

    NFL Week 8

    Soul replied to ELCABALLO45's topic in Other Sports

    Someone should escort Turner from the premises and just get it over with. One of the most underachieving clubs I've seen (in recent memory, anyway).

    I wonder how the ratings were last night, and how they'll be tonight as a result of last night.
  18. Soul
    Still here. Feel OK. Actually this opens up a cool opportunity for me. I'm in Puerto Vallarta, so I'll definitely be checking out game 7 at one of the sports bars here tonight.

    The most exciting baseball thread of the year was not a Cubs thread. First time I can remember on here. So long, Jimbo. Welcome, Theo.

    StL overcame 5 leads. That's pretty amazing.
  21. Soul
    Bye bye Rangers. Game 7 will be played, but I don't see how it's not a formality
  22. Soul
    Beyond anything that can possibly be believed.
  23. Soul
    Walk him now though

    Good grief they even almost got a bunt hit. Is there no end to the voodoo?!?
