I hope you all realize if purple shirt guy was right, and Theo comes to Chicago.... ....you aren't going to hear the end of it from Sullivan.

It's only a 1 point game and we have not had much of a pass rush. You know how this goes.

What stuff has he been saying that's hyperbole and dumb? More stuff than just one thing, but the last thing he suggested was that a Packer lineman should just "let the defender take his best shot" at Rodgers.

Oh hey look, what a surprise. The Falcons' offense shut down and the Packers caught them. So unpredictable.

So....permission was secretly given? Which means.......purple fanta shirt guy was right?!? :thumbsup:

It's kind of maddening, because he should know better on some of these things, and I suspect he actually does. Quit trying to impress people with hyperbole and just give good analysis.

Man, Collinsworth makes some unbelievably dumb comments sometimes.

I was running treadmill when Braun and Fielder swung the hammer and gave the Crew the lead. OK, I admit it: I shouted for joy, and now all the people in my local gym think I'm a Brewer fan.

Falcons offense will shut down, thusly allowing the Packers to overtake them and win. Haven't ever seen this before.

They can't. It's the Cardinals. Surely they can't blow this.

Now every break there are Aaron Rodgers commercials. And he's good in them, too. I need to find something he's not good at.

Al won championships. Long ago, but he did win. So did Wirtz. They bought the team in 1954, and won it all in 1961. Yeah, but 1961 is much more a distant memory than the '80s. I wasn't even alive in '61.

Opening game was like last year's Hawks. Last night was more like year-before-last Hawks. Let's have more like last night.

Yeah! 2-0 Hawks.

.....and just like that he throws another long one that's completed.

It seems like a game plan of "stack 9 in the box and dare Denard to beat you by throwing" wouldn't be that hard to pull off, and yet nobody's been able to do it yet this year. Although, NW was game last week until the 4th quarter, too. Yes, they collapsed last week so we'll see... The last 2 long passes I've seen from Denard have been nothing more than heave-ho, pray-my-guy-comes-down-with-it rainbows. It's not a wonder one of them was picked off. He needs to do better than that to be successful long term. Or, just don't throw long and use his speed and skills to make plays from the pocket.

At this point, anybody who doesn't think Epstein is the first choice is either naive or stupid. 1. Ricketts basically said that the Red Sox are his model as to what he wants to do. 2. The media in both towns and nationally are jumping all over the story. 3. He has asked permission to talk to Epstein. 4. The delay can be explained by the Jewish holiday and/or the discussion of compensation. Now tell me that Ricketts won't look like an idiot if he has a press conference next week to introduce his new GM - Rick Hahn (who he claims was his first choice all along). He's trying for Theo, who knows what else he is doing? If he introduces someone other than Theo next week, he simply doesn't discuss first choices or second choices. It's not the first time teams have struck out on a first choice guy. Happens all the time. Doesn't necessarily mean the guy you get is bad. If someone asks that question, the answer is going to be something nebulous that follows what all others would say "we had a number of candidates, the process was thorough and well-executed, yada yada." There are a number of ways to handle something like that in a PR sense. Ricketts isn't going to have egg on his face just because he tried for a certain guy and it didn't work out. I don't think it's necessary to be so dramatic about it if he loses out on Epstein.

NW is game tonight, nice.

edit: 'nother dupe post, due to lingering DB issues...

He didn't seem to understand what his options should be, until the final couple plays and then he blew that throw over the middle. Anyway, switching to Mich/NW...

The guy is wide open and he just completely blows the throw.

Took too much time to get 13 yards. You've got 3 timeouts, no need to work the sidelines.

Bets on Miami going right back down and scoring again? 47 seconds. All 3 timeouts. It is possible.

Sheesh, it didn't matter because Miami decided to play "don't bother bending, just break" defense.

Al won championships. Long ago, but he did win.
