  1. I mean who can blame them? The Bears are one of the most dysfunctional organizations in pro sports. I'd have done the same thing. To the Bears credit they've hired what appears to be a good coaching staff, as well as investing in the OL and weapons. It's a nice spot now, but I still don't think Poles is good at his job. In Ben and Caleb I trust.
  2. It's too bad I'm already bearish (har har) on the 3rd round OL from Yale they took last year. Would be good to have another prospect at one of the more important positions. I like the Ozzy pick but Poles has given me good reason to question his O-line evaluations.
  3. Excellent, thank you.
  4. He's amazing. Say he doesn't sign an extension, when would he become a free agent? (I definitely don't want that, just curious how long he would be under team control)
  5. It's rainy, cold and miserable in Chicago today.
  6. LOL, I had a meeting start when it was 7-1 and didn't check the score until the end of the game. WOW. Carson Kelly for MVP! PCA for POTUS!
  7. If the Ricketts cry poor regarding Tucker I doubt I'll watch 10 games next season. The Cubs have way too many built in advantages to horsefeathers around and be cheap.
  8. Cubs have scored the most runs out of anyone in MLB. Have played more games than most but leaving many teams well in the dust with 84. Kyle Tucker makes such a huge addition to the lineup. Fun team so far but I'm warning Ricketts that if he doesn't give Tucker an extension I'm going to January 6 Wrigley Field *and* Marquee Studios.
  9. PCA will get MVP consideration.
  10. You're not wrong, but is the lesson also build a great defensive line so you don't have to blitz on every third down? Eagles got pressure with their front 4 all day. Also, isn't the KC Guard a free agent that some have bandied about going to the Bears? I was pretty drunk and don't remember any individual plays, but guessing he had a bad day yesterday.
  11. This trade sucks. The contracts they got back aren't even expiring, Collins and Huerter will be on the books for next year. And of course no draft capital. AKME sucks so badly.
  12. Not a fan. The logo is too old tyme and the whole thing looks like a beer league softball getup.
  13. Sammy back. Hide your beisbols, he will smash them.
  14. I'm going to be mad mad mad if Ricketty doesn't cough up for Tucker. That is all.
  15. I love that it's kicking off Friday night with the IU/ND game. Starts my two weeks of very little work and a lot of drinking nicely.
  16. I disagree with you on Matas, but otherwise, yeah. AKME has drafted very poorly and have lost on just about every other move they make. I cannot believe how horrible that Patrick Williams contract is, a player option for this guy in year 5?!?! However, one pick they did get right is Ayo and he is really the only reason I follow the Bulls anymore (Illini fan, he brought Illini hoops back). I still am a fan of the Bulls and want desperately for them to be good, but I doubt I would have watched them much at all this year without him.
  17. I haven't kept up on this but I wish they'd keep Bellinger for one more year. I'm not sold on Busch being a long-term answer at 1B, and Cody was one of the better hitters on the team.
  18. I saw a hype video for the LT for Texas (I think he won the Outland) and it was enough for me to want the Bears to draft him. No more Braxton and I have little hope for Kiran.
  19. Fire Eberflus into the sun. I don't know a coach who is better at ripping defeat out of the jaws of victory.
  20. I would love to know how they would be faring if Daniels went #1 and Williams 2. Eberflus was retained so quickly after last season that I kind of forgot he's a bad coach (pretty good D Coordinator). Between Eberflus/Waldron buffoonery and the OL being bad, it really hasn't mattered that he has some good targets. It really sucks the Bears don't fire coaches during the season. I could see this thing getting *a lot* uglier as it goes along. These guys quit yesterday.
  21. I love Ayo Dosunmu. That is all.
