You'd know who he is if he was anything better than terrible. Maybe the Bears don't have world beaters at WR but they have enough speed to blow up depth chart guys if they aren't on top of their assignments. That said, I'm expecting a loss today for the Bears. Too much Vick for the D, with too many receiving options for the Bears secondary to keep under control. On O, pressure defense will likely blow up Cutler on enough plays to keep us from being able to stay close on the scoreboard. I'll go: Eagles 27 Bears 13

The capper to a nice night. Hawks/Bulls both win, pretty good Circus trips this year. Feelin' good about things at the moment on the Madhouse front.

New bill would divert amusement tax funds for Wrigley work
Soul replied to J.R.'s topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He doesn't need to be a free spender to be successful. We all know that. I actually don't mind his attempts to build up the ballpark, the system, the ST facilities, etc. That's all good stuff, IMO. I really wonder about his decision to keep Hendry in place. It feels like he's punting on a big decision when he should be aggressively acting to change the philosophy of how the big club is run. Especially if he wants to match up with a lower-payroll strategy, which it looks like he is attempting to do. I don't want to be sitting here 5 years from now, changing GMs after a bunch of wasted years because Ricketts finally figured out that Jim can't win without a very loose purse. I'd rather make that change now, up front... -
Quite enjoyable.

Winning record on the road trip!
-
Mwahahah. Rose is finger lickin' good.
-
A foul, I SHOULD THINK SO. Geez. Are they allowed to perform linebacker blocks on our guys with no foul called or something?
-
Damn I thought that was going to be a nice slamdown on the quick pass. Just keep playing the D. They can't hang with us late if we make them look that pathetic on shots.
-
Where we at? 7 down heading into the 4th? It can be done.
-
Lay down big bucks for showers of champagne. Win a hockey game easily. Women all over the place. I chose the wrong career.
-
Michigan is simply not interested in playing defense.
-
Wow. I must say, this Bears team has had its share of breaks.
-
I really wasn't all that interested in Boise State. I understand the excitement but I just never really latched on to it. Doesn't bother me at all that they lost. I'm kind of surprised that they did -- but I'm not upset by it.
-
Great! Unfortunately I drove out of radio range before the comeback though :( This year's results on the circus trip are very encouraging.

I think the main reason is promos. First off, radio broadcasts suck since they spend a good 30% of the time presenting you the subway 3rd down of the game followed by a Meineke sack and a KMart punt. At the same time, TV broadcasters promote shows coming up on Fox/CBS, and that is why they pay so much money for the rights to the games. If it were to be done, the networks would demand that customers pay a huge fee for the right, to discourage widespread distribution and offset potential ad decreases. That sounds right. Although.......for the amount of money we fork out for NFLST, one would think it buys a little leeway on that type of thing. The networks would rather everybody just watch the one game broadcasted in their area. They don't want you flipping channels. Obviously. That's why we pay big bucks.....to override their wishes :)

I'm not surprised, or dismayed, that they couldn't beat LA on their home turf with Boozer out and still early in the season. From what I saw they actually seemed to hang nicely with the Lakers. As for Rose being the Bulls -- OK. That's the NBA.

Ahh, to be a young man and the toast of the town. Enjoy the fun while it lasts, boys.

My dream is for NFL Sunday ticket to offer each broadcast with the radio announcers call rather than the network sound. I realize that will never happen for a number of reasons, but it'd be great to have local announcers to listen to. That'd be awesome. There are secondary audio channels that mostly go unused. Might be nice to see radio teams broadcast on the secondary channel. I'm sure this has been thought of though, and for whatever reason it isn't done.
-
I'd settle for a Chucky replacement.
-
Soo tempting as a prospect. But the potential to get really burned, if taken too high, looms.
-
I love Mallett's potential, but I would also say Luck.
-
That's been a big problem with him in the past. Maybe he's ready to regress for us :) That would be nice! :good:
-
Childress isn't why the Vikings struggled. They might get a bounce with the coaching change, but that will fade over the next three weeks' worth of games before Chicago arrives. Leslie isn't going to bring Moss back, and he isn't going to make Favre change his stripes. I'm not conceding that game until we see how the next three week's shake out. I'm not conceding any game, but understood.
-
Unfortunately this gives the Vikings time to re-tool a bit and be playing much better football just in time for the Bears to roll into town on the 20th :(
