    I love Caleb Williams. That is all.

    I don't think the Giddey situation is a big deal, but people are free to think however they want. I WILL push back on the Bulls being depressing, though. Giddey is become a star on a great contract and this team is deep with overlapping skill sets all day, play in the East and have a ton of looming cap space. I don't think they even need to go out and get a "star" anymore, they might have 3-4 of them (stars, not superstars on the level of Giannis, Luka, etc.). Right now they have 11-12 good nba players and should be able to keep who they want after the season when Vuc, Huerter, Collins, Ayo, Coby and Carter's contracts expire. Buzelis looks awesome and they got lucky in that draft he fell to them, and I'm high on Essengue who we probably won't see much this year but looked good in the summer league and preseason. They could be a better version of what Indiana put together last year. Plus they're in the East. I love the Bulls so I'm always tuned in to what they're doing, but I don't think this is a fluke and it might be time to get back on the bandwagon.

    I did not have a Vuc revitalization season on my bingo card. He's playing great and while he still can't really defend the rim, fits perfectly on this team as a Stretch 5. He's like Jokic out there! This is fun and I think sustainable. I can't wait to see it when Coby and Collins come back. They have like 11-12 quality NBA players. I think they have enough cap space to bring everyone back if they want, too.
  4. The_Achiever
    Yeah, this is a must-win if the Bears want to do anything this season. Cincy's defense is an abomination, would love to see the offense put up big points on these guys.
  5. The_Achiever
    Giddy, Coby, Matas, Ayo, Tre makes 5 stars, plus depth, plus future star Noa Essengue.

    After not getting Bears action for what felt like a month, I'm ready for this game right now. Last night was fun, and not just because I decided to get randomly drunk for it. Happy Win with a Hangover Tuesday!

    After this weekend I needed this. Getting hosed all night but managed to find a way to get it done. My confidence in Caleb and Ben Johnson is growing by leaps and bounds. We have a coach AND a quarterback.

    I expect a typically sleepy offseason. Unfortunately I think making Game 5 of the Division series will be the high-water mark for the Cubs for a while. We won't be replacing Tucker and the production and lineup protection he offered in the first half. Sad offense plus pretty good pitching will be enough to pursue a wild card spot in this division. Not expecting much more than some changes on the fringes and Shota's option being picked up.
  9. The_Achiever
    I have no idea what Craig is going to do. But it feels like we've got some mojo back so that is great. But I'm glad our Game 5 isn't until tomorrow night and I can enjoy the other Game 5 tonight without any jitters. Amazing night of ball last night. Wrigley rocking and that unfortunate ending in LA. Was hoping that series would go to Game 5 as well.
  10. The_Achiever
    Last night was fun, the crowd bullied FREDDY into giving up that home run from Happ. Wrigley is simply the best. All hands on deck, LETS horsefeathers GOOOOOOO!
  11. The_Achiever
    It's gotta be Boyd, right?
  12. The_Achiever
    I wonder what a Nico extension would look like. He's had a great year and I think his contract is up after next year.
  13. The_Achiever
    Nothing new here, I'm just mad about the Boyd decision for Game 1, which begat Shota for Game 2. They clearly should have been saving Shota for Wrigley, the lakeside wind is the only thing possible that can keep the great Andrew Vaughn at bay. Most annoying successful season ever, it's been like a root canal since the ASB. I hope Tucker likes NY (I'm pretty much fine not breaking the bank for him, I think this being the Cubs it would end up being a huge disaster).
  14. The_Achiever
    Cubs/Phillies NLCS would go so hard. Would definitely be shitting my pants every time Schwarber is at the plate.
  15. The_Achiever
    Was it when the Bulls won one game against the Bucks in an otherwise horsefeathers pumping? Real awful stretch for us, going to enjoy this.
  16. The_Achiever
    90 wins.
  17. The_Achiever
    He's got 29 this year, big homey. Want that 30/30/30 for him.
  18. The_Achiever
    Hopefully PCA can get to 30 walks as well.
  19. The_Achiever
    Happy to be wrong, go Bears!
  20. The_Achiever
    Dallas is going to score 1,000 points against this defense. Eberflus will get to walk off the field a winner. PUKE
  21. The_Achiever
    Honestly it's why whenever I drink I try to start as early as possible. Sunday Funday can be possible if you cut yourself off before 6.
  22. The_Achiever
    What an absolutely depressing start to the BJ era. Caleb just ain't it, some comically inaccurate passes; I think I'd rather have Justin Fields back (rooting for him). Bad OL, vanilla playcalling. Could have been a Trestman or Eberflus team if I hadn't know who was on the sidelines. Ryan Poles is TERRIBLE at his job, particularly at evaluating offensive linemen. Time to detach any hope or potential excitement from this unit.

    I'm still pissed that Craig sat both Shaw and Cassie yesterday. I feel like the division is out of reach at 7 games; if it was 5 I'd say we still would have a shot. Malpractice not to throw everything you had in the final matchup with the Brewers. Craig even said that loss stung. No horsefeathers horsefeathers!
  24. The_Achiever
    Co-nervous. It just seems like the buzz is still bad around him. Although I will say there were things I saw last year I liked, and he put up solid stats for a dysfunctional team. I think maybe he is a Baker Mayfield type, who has moxie but needs to be schemed into success. We'll see.
  25. The_Achiever
    Such a big deal to be down only 1 game vs. 3. Huge win today.
