    I think the serious concern is that it's something to do with the brain. I'm hoping and praying it's not. Sudden loss of vision like this can be a symptom (although not one of the more common ones) of sickle-cell anemia, which, coincidentally or not, has a relatively high rate of occurence in African American children. I hope this doesn't wind up being the case, but if it is, she'll ultimately need a bone-marrow transplant. I suppose this is just speculation until we hear more. My thoughts are with Derrek and his family. :(

    Beautiful, isn't it? Or should I say "sexy?" #1 rated QB in the NFL http://home.comcast.net/~davhern2/Grossman.jpg

    Just to warn ya, it doesn't bother me, but that language isn't gonna go over well here.

    That's actually not a good thing. Right. Except i meant to say .020 Stupid decimal places. I always mess up some mundane detail like that. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/snetsrak43/bolton.jpg This is not a mundane detail, Michael!

    IIRC, it was Sosa for Soriano, Nick Johnson, Ricky Ledee, and I think Ted Lilly. Just imagine if we had pulled that off. Yeah, just imagine--you'd be plenty upset. Sosa almost got the team in the playoffs in 01, and he was our biggest bat in the 03 run. He also put up some mighty fine numbers in 02 and wasn't bad in 04 even, at least until the last month and a half or so. Meanwhile, Soriano has been hot and cold, Nick Johnson is always hurt, Ricky Ledee is a deadbeat, and Ted Lilly is a dime-a-dozen #4 starter. Sometimes, the best trades are the ones not made after all.... QFT

    So, by process of elimination, Alex Brown did practice today. Nice.

    I would not be the least bit disappointed if it was a 6 point win. I should probably rephrase. I'd be unpleasantly surprised if it were any closer than a TD (mostly during the game). In the end, though, I'll gladly take any victory.

    Of all the things you list, the one that doesn't really mean anything to me is "it's still Lambeau". I don't think the Bears are any less likely to win this game because it's there. But the Pack is getting just 3.5 points, with an o/u of 35. I would be pretty shocked if the Bears won by more than TD, and I'm guessing they end up winning it on an INT return that puts them up by 4. I think the fact that the Bears haven't put together back-to-back winning seasons in years is just as irrelevant. The records of those teams have no bearing on nor are they a reflection of the present team. Just a pet peeve of mine (comes up a lot with the Cubs too). As for the game, the Bears SHOULD win pretty easily. I'd be disappointed if it were any closer than a TD. That doesn't mean it will happen, but they should be expected to win and win convincingly.

    I don't want him. I like what we have at WR right now with Moose, Berrian, Bradley, Davis, Gage. If they want to go after Deion Branch, that's a different story. I wanted Lelie and I think we could've had him. I want this team to go after good WRs, not other people's trash. Eh.. I'd pick up Rogers and cut Gage. Can there really be much of a drop off?

    ...if they want to lose money. Speaking of sports betting... Mansion.com is offering a free $1100 bet (to win $1000) on the Steelers for opening week. Basically, you deposit the money, bet it, and if you lose, they'll refund you the money w/no catch. If you win, you win. I guess it's a way for them to get people who have that much money laying around to sign up for their site. http://www.pocketfives.com/F74A2E89-5593-4AF0-8C62-E53D42FC7540.aspx The posters talking it up are pretty reputable on that forum. It does sound too good to be true, so I'm still mulling it over. Just thought I'd pass along the info if anyone wanted some free money, lol.

    The only thing that worries me about Hester is his strange tendency to fall down after fair catches... WFT, mate?

    After tonight I think he's in serious danger of being cut. Remember, we'll only keep 5 WRs: Moose Berrian Bradley Davis Gage or Currie I think Gage should and will get cut...could be wrong, though.

    Currie is FAST... :shock: If he can cut down the drops (and Grossman gets used to having a receiver who runs THAT fast), he is going to add the deep threat we've been looking for. Don't know if he has the hands or mindset to go over the middle, but at least we've got someone to stretch the field with now and then.

    Does it seem like David Wells goes to and from the same teams all the time?? I think the only team he hasn't gone back to is the White Sox...

    I think we should have a stickied thread of all of Dusty's hilarious quotes. Let's see... The fishing one The base cloggers The black athletes can stand the heat better...

    Can we have 1995 Curtis Conway, plz?

    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: And if anyone thinks that is going to happen, they are fooling themselves. A second round pick is reasonable. I'd give him a second for him. 2 firsts? Uh, no thanks. I'd quite possibly even give a 1st (not 2), considering the fact that if all goes as we hope, we'll be picking in the late 20's or early 30's in April. Plus, Angelo does his best work in the later rounds. I think what it really comes down to is that the Pats really don't want to trade him. They're just letting Branch see what the market is for him out there so that he'll ultimately sign a reasonable contract with them.

    I didn't even have faith in Dempster last year. Flukes happen.
  21. David
    because I'd rather have two draft picks than a b-level prospect. Even considering the way this organization is operated? I'd think either option is just as worthless.

    Your post is so misguided it's not even funny. You'd probably rather have Pierre in CF and leading off than Pie (who could EASILY outperform Pierre) down in the order and a legitimate on base threat at 2B and leading off. Schmidt? A dumb idea? Not sure what to say. Counting on Prior as a 5th starter isn't crazy. Counting on Prior as a top 2 or 3? Crazy. I would rather pick up one more solid starter than depend on two of our rookie carousel from this year, but if there's nothing out there, there's nothing out there.

    The Cubs would be stupid to deal Izturis. I guess people love a player who makes mental mistakes every time he steps on the field. I guess that makes sense. :? That player is Cedeno btw. Yea, they'd be stupid to trade an overpaid terrible player (defensive replacement at best). The biggest difference between Cedeno and Izturis has nothing to do with what either player does on the field. It's about $4 million that could be better spent elsewhere (like on anyone that doesn't suck).
