I think my Illini have a shot against UCLA. They've been a different team since they got rid of the bad DC hire.

No letdowns before the bye please.

I'm still kind of confused how the Bears only got a 5th for Dexter. They obviously value him and he has played well, did they not shop him at all?

I think they can. Still have plenty of powder dry to make a couple more moves (not at the Simmons level of moves, of course). A fifth for Mack and 7th for Nashon Wright would be alwright by me.

Agree. If we are going all in, we need to do more. Getting at least one CB and maybe a TE or RB seems like the minimum. Nashon Wright couldn't cost *that* much.

TBF, those pitchers had shown more power in their career that Sal Frelick. David Ross had CTE and just aimed for the ball in the middle. Thank God the Indians used Andrew Miller so much his arm was hanging by a thread. I put money on the Brewers to win the WS when they went up 2-0 on the Dodgers. Wish I had done it much, much earlier. It's their year.

I don't disagree, but the Vikings should have known what they were getting into when they drafted him so high. His tools are evident and based on what I've seen he can be a productive pro. The Giants have to be thrilled to get him for just a 5th. I hope Minnesota never figures out the QB position despite having a so-called QB whisperer at head coach.

I hate the stupid Vikings and how they're 6-0, but at least they have to watch JJ9 go to another team an immediately have success. How did they screw up that situation so badly? They got peanuts in return for him as well. Hopefully their reign of smoke and mirrors ends soon. If I was a vikings fan I wouldn't be too confident about the rest of the season.

It's not great but unfortunately, I think the East is better than the West now. They have two goliaths in SA and OKC, with Minnesota, Denver and LA behind them. The East just seems to have more depth so won't get the usual schedule bump until that changes again IMO. Can't wait to see this team play. I don't care that they'll win maybe 30 games, a lot to be excited about.

Doesn't sound super serious, though. Don't rush back and hope the Newman guy (Newman!) gets some good reps in.

I don't hate it, but I'd prefer a new corner or two before they address edge. They traded Gervon for a corner and a fifth, but it doesn't seem like he has played. WTF Poles? Atlanta gave Gervon a big deal and the Bears took scraps in return. Bring back Ian Cunningham?

Didn't we have some guys in the preseason play pretty well at rb? I'm quite certain rojo is the slowest and least explosive running back I've seen on the Bears. If Swift is banged up too they NEED to bring in someone.

I thought the Q-stuff was well known. Oh well, no need to rehash any of that.

I remember that Nats series well. You describe it accurately as it was a true battle. I was so happy we won and think it kind of helped validate the WS the year prior (not that it needed it but still good to at least make it back to the NLCS the year after it happened). We had a shot against the Dodgers but seemingly had run out of gas.

I am not into sports gambling or prediction markets, but I am thinking about putting down some cash on the Brewers to win it all this year. The Dodgers look dead and MKE looks like the clear team of destiny. Could Cleveland (or the Rays) give them a real shot? I don't follow the AL very closely and can't name 3 guys on either team. It just seems like it's the Brewers year and I should act accordingly. Either I would win money or see a very funny collapse.
