i've heard him on his score hits also hint at being pro beaning bat flippers and not liking the tim anderson stuff etc. it's not hard to read between the lines. I’m not defending Coomer, I’m saying Machado had heard that criticism long before last weekwnd didn't say you were. just expounding a little bit.

coomer is a goober just like these other guys (brenley, kaplan, etc.) and i will never stop saying it i'm also so sick of him saying the ball was "crunched" who the hell says that? it's crushed. CRUSHED. you damn oaf. I did t know if Machado had a similar injury situation as Ramirez, or if it’s just Machado being Machado. He certainly has a “no hustle” reputation (fair or not) i've heard him on his score hits also hint at being pro beaning bat flippers and not liking the tim anderson stuff etc. it's not hard to read between the lines.

Agreed. I think it was one of the Hawks Cup rallies that I'm still scarred over. I lived in walking difference to Soldier Field so wasn't using public transit or car, and getting out of the stadium vicinity was the worst stadium experience I've ever had. But all the other times I've been, including for Soccer games which aren't as packed as a Bears game and it just always seems to suck. Edit- and as much as getting on the redline after a Cubs game can also be soul-crushingly miserable, there's at least alternatives because you're in the middle of a neighborhood with Bars and restaurants. SF doesn't offer any alternative like that. Yeah, Soldier Field and the Museum Campus are a pain in the ass to get to even when there's not a Bears game. Driving sucks because it's downtown. But then it's like the one place downtown that's a public transit desert. Mile for mile it might be the worst place in the city to try and get to, even on non game days. 100% spot on and dealing with all that after drinking all day/night (instead of just having places to go hang out a block away like at wrigley) is the definition of not fun.

soldier field isn't just regular bad to get to. it's extra bad as compared to how bad it already is to get into stadiums. i've been to plenty of events at plenty of venues and soldier field is the only one i bitch about this with.

It’s picturesque but yeah not exactly a ideal location for a 60,000 seat football stadium. I’d prefer the Bears find something in the city and I could live with Soldier Fields location as my concern is more the stadium than the location. I want a stadium that can host Super Bowls, Final Fours, Big Ten Championship games, etc. if that has to be built in Arlington heights or something so be it. Cowboys Stadium is not in Dallas, whatever they call the Cardinals stadium is far away from central Phoenix, MetLife field is not centrally located, nor is the new LA stadium. Yea, Soldier Field is mostly good for being picturesque. It's kind of miserable to get in and out of. For 8 times a year, the boonies is okay. For baseball and even hockey/basketball, it's a bigger factor. And Arlington Heights is still not even that "Boonies". There's a Metra stop there at least. We're not talking Dekalb or something. more than kind of. it's a horsefeathering nightmare. i'd be good never going there again.

fwiw that's nothing new with him

dfa sogard at least

i remember camp as a mixed bag. when the hype got loud was when he came out in his first preseason game.
-
Most of the Trubisky stuff in camp/preseason was fairly lukewarm, right? I wonder if it's one of those things where glowing reviews don't necessarily tell you a guy is going to be good, but a lack of glowing reviews is an early sign that he won't. funny you ask, as i was just reading this in the athletic... https://theathletic.com/2589892/2021/05/14/justin-fields-looked-sharp-in-his-bears-debut-sure-it-was-only-rookie-mini-camp/

it's just rookie minicamp, obviously, but this is about as fun a football read as you can have on may 14th...

Since this was being talked about yesterday...

bears getting a crazy amount of island games they'll be hitting the ceiling annually if fields pans out into what he very well could be
-
lol imagine going into game threads (especially during the game)
-
For anyone who has a sub, this was a great read.
-
Not fair comparing a middle reliever to starters, though. not sure what this is a reference to
-
yeah there's basically zero chance fields starts and the fan base clamors for andy dalton lol

touche Granted, my confidence is based solely on the fact that my theory about Pace/Nagy and their future together based on McCaskey wanting continuity seems to be coming true this year. I always thought they'd get a shot to draft a QB together. I think they will have a chance to develop that QB. It seems fairly obvious Dalton was brought in to start a couple games as a competent veteran until the rookie is ready. Nagy loves the Mahomes got to sit and learn storyline. All they really have to do is show progress on offense this year. So, if they lose a couple games with Dalton early as the defense takes a step back, but then go to Fields and the offense looks interesting, they are coming back in 2022. i think it's the most likely scenario, but all the same, i am not THAT confident in it. i'm like 75% that dalton starts 3-4 games and then that's it.
-
if you're that sure of that, you can get pretty reasonable betting odds on dalton as the week one guy bc the books aren't that convinced (he's the favorite but far from a lock). I'd rather wait until the first "Fields lights up training camp" tweets. touche
