    Did you only watch season 2 of FNL and think that was the entire series? I just thought it was a bit cheesy and soap opera-ey...Only one on that list I can see a good argument for ahead of it is Dexter. Sure, whatever...not a hill I want to die on. It was beyond awful when it was bad. I also forgot about it when I originally answered the question.

    i thought piven was funny at times and enjoyed the female casting it was an awful awful show though

    There's not a lot of shows I've seen every episode of (aside from the MTV reality garbage that i mentioned already) The Wire Breaking Bad Better Call Saul Fargo Seinfeld Curb Your Enthusiasm True Detective (S1 only) 90's Simpsons (Yes, it's a separate show from the terrible post 2000's thing) Dexter FNL I'm sure there are others that aren't coming to mind right now but yeah...I don't watch a lot of TV shows and when I do I try to avoid watching bad ones a lot. Wait, I just thought of one that beats FNL - Entourage.

    I keep seeing Trubisky mentioned in the first couple of picks if he goes. You think he's going to fall to the second??

    Thats asking a lot, but if its just a huge offseason/camp battle between him, Callahan, LeBlanc, and Porter, and we have a secure starter via FA opposite them, I'll feel pretty good about our CB situation for next year. Oh, I don't necessarily mean right off the bat or anything. Just in the nearer long term...maybe by end of next year or something.

    I want Hall to emerge as the second corner. Really like him.

    You do not need two stud CBs. Thats a pretty unrealistic expectation. If we have two stud CBs and also get any decent depth on the front 7 we better have a top 3 D. Well, according to sulley we just need Allen and some bodies in the secondary. But not spitballing: what's realistic (and who) for this offseason? I don't see a formula that gets Fox and Co the wild card. And how do you address the offense besides dreaming of a 2009 Tony Romo? I'll take a 2014 Tony Romo instead.

    manny strange comp since eloy has been pretty allergic to walks, but i guess if they're super high on his hit tool there's not much else to compare him to when you put it that way...vlad?

    I really don't get how people make this sort of statement about NFL teams. The Bears absolutely could make the playoffs next year and it would not take some laughable course of events to happen. In the events listed above, I noticed Sulley kind of completely glossed over the secondary other then to say they all need to be replaced except for Amos. [emoji102] I don't care how dominate you want to project our front 7, it likely (like, VERY LIKELY) won't improve enough to make up for that giant hole Playoffs would be a [expletive] miracle Big win jumps happen in the NFL and in pro sports in general all the time. A good draft and offseason plus continued development from the existing young players and the Bears could easily be in playoff contention next year. And if they are in contention, by definition they could be in the playoffs. Am I saying it's probable? No. But it's definitely a realistic "if things go right" outcome. Also, dominant*

    So I was reading Chuck Wasserstrom's blog piece on the scout who passed [tweet] [/tweet] And then I happened upon this, and I laughed a little... http://www.chuckblogerstrom.com/all-my-stories/the-day-ryne-sandberg-became-chuck-wasserstrom

    Is there any informed speculation or rumor of what Romo will cost in a trade?
  17. David
    oh jeez...almost forgot that. same. i guess that falls in with my hours spent watching RW/RR and the challenges that i mentioned

    Dexter's highs were pretty high but the lows were so brutal too. I've seen every episode of it but I enjoyed the good parts so much that I can't name it here. I still can't believe the ending actually happened.
  19. David
    PFF didn't like Porter last year, either, FWIW.

    The way people have talked about Amos taking a step back this year (locally in the media), I would've guessed he had graded out much worse. They loved him last year, too. Kind of a weird graphic. Its just the last game starters, which included at least one guy who was signed off the PS just a few weeks prior. Wonder how some more significant season long contributors graded. Scroll down... Zach Miller graded out really well. (81.7) Goldman too (80.0)

    You watch quality TV then Well, I don't usually watch every episode of shows that suck out loud. I'm of course not counting reality tv and the countless hours I spent in the late 90s/early 2000s watching real world, road rules, and the challenges.

    i do think i favor baseball over the other sports i like (football and basketball) when all is equal (as far as how good my teams are), but i think it's primarily because a) baseball is in summer and summer makes me happy and b) baseball gives me 3 hours of entertainment nearly every day. i love that on most days i can look forward to getting home from work and having a game i'm emotionally invested in to watch. and for whatever reason, the volume of games doesn't water down my emotional investment vs. the other sports to any remotely proportional extent.
