  1. Good picture, thanks for posting!
  2. Nobody's really arguing that Angelo has had his share of disappointments (at least, it doesn't look like it). But you aren't stating your case very well. Forte is not only blue chip, but he's a blue chip player that very few other than Angelo (and his team) identified.
  3. Grooooooaaaaaaaaan I think that's funny though. Maybe someone can tape his next sermon.
  4. Wow, the negative vibes. That's horrifying.
  5. I think the Bears beat Oakland easily with Cutler. He's got 2 more years on his deal at a very favorable price. There's probably no need to act fast, but I would strongly suggest they get a deal done by midseason next year. If there's any silver lining to this, it's the fact that any remaining doubts about Cutler's value to this team have been removed. They'll get a deal done. I would bet there are tremendous doubts from the naysayers about a) his durability, b) his desire to play/win, c) his worthiness for a big franchise QB contract. Hell, there were Peyton Manning doubters until well after he won a SB. People will comment about how Cutler has finished back to back seasons injured. I'm sure you're right, although after seeing the effects of him out of the lineup, that kind of talk seems more like digging for anything negative to say about an obviously valuable player. Especially considering we don't have alternatives on the roster, and we've got a long history of failing to acquire a good QB.
  6. Here's a different photo of it: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_dm3f2ah69Y/Ttj53yx7A-I/AAAAAAAABZk/N5gDjfpdfuE/s1600/Cubs_Holiday_Tree.jpg Does anyone have one of the tree lit up? That would be kind of cool to see.

  8. My guess is they would go with McCown for now and save Enderle for the final game. Yeah I agree. Putting in Enderle is throwing in the towel, and realistically they can't do that. I'm all for proceeding down this path.
  9. Help, I can't find the fast forward button on my life remote.
  10. Why Urlacher is talking post game trash is beyond me YOU LOST THE FREAKIN GAME MORON! Yeah...he may be right, but it rings hollow for sure. I am so ready for this season to be over.
  11. Most of us suspected it was over when Cutler went down. Then Forte was done, and today the confirmation came. It's over. I'm ready to forget this season and fast forward to draft day. Too bad we've got games left.
  12. Berman's on my mental ignore list.
  13. Tebow didn't even do much to win the game. Got his team to what? The 42? Kicker made the 59 yarder -- Timbow wasn't even on the field. He wasn't on the field for the Barber season-obliterating fumble, either. Unfortunately the national dialogue is locked on Tebow whenever they win, regardless of how they won. If there's magic, it will run out. But I do understand frustration with the media coverage. I just ignore most of these guys anyway now.
  14. haha, really? I'd imagine cameras were already on TIM TEBOW like they are on ALL QB's during a game winning (or losing) kick. Watch him walking off after the game. He stops and points to the sky several times. I don't get it. So what? Lots of players do that. You're condemning him because his pointing action is more exaggerated?
  15. Is it really so different than someone who idealistic about something non-religious? He's not hurting anyone. Laugh at him if you want. I do too, actually. If someone actually converts to evangelical Christianity because they watched Tim Tebow score a TD and chalk it up to God, well....I'd say that's pretty hollow.
  16. Oh, Brady wasn't on the ground yet. Bogus flag.
  17. Olsen delivers! Panthers up big now!
  18. I don't understand. Why would ESPN even care about this?
  19. Brewer fans are just in disbelief, that's all. I can understand that. Braun up here has a pretty good rep. It won't be the first time a guy with a good reputation turned out to be less-than-pure, but at this early stage, I get the denial and rationalization. My guess is over the next few days you'll start to hear more balanced judgements.
  20. It's just something that happens. The key is being able to consistently be a contender. Cutler and Forte aren't always going to get hurt.
  21. Thinking about it ---- we must be in on Pujols. It makes too much sense. We either land Pujols, or make it incredibly painful for St. Louis to retain him. It's a win/win for us.
  22. I can't even describe it. I'm almost outraged by this. Not really, but maybe yes. I'm glad he's in the hall but for it to happen quickly after his death is some kind of insult. That's the best I can put it into words.
  23. You might have gone 11-1! Oh no!
  24. The misspelling. Fire everyone.
  25. Hah, what? They're idiots. You know it. We all know it. And they lose games because of it. Not that they would have won tonight, but when your best players can't stay on the field because they're morons, it's perfectly valid to point that out. Who cares what they did in 2008?
