Can Peavy Thread Re-Open, new news?
David replied to Sever82's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
This is the blurb ESPN has out for that insider article about Peavy... -
????????????????????????????????? I know it's a pre-season game: but it seams a bit out of the way. Why didn't they just put another east coast team there? I'm guessing because they wanted a premier team and a matchup with the Mets wouldn't work because they're doing a dress rehearsal with their stadium.
-
Not sure... but last year, his rating on the road was slightly better than at home.
-
I ordered mine from the Chicago Bears store. They must have some sort of inside info, right? I'm sure they wouldn't ship any jerseys until they knew the real number, even if he changes it.
-
I'm sure it's been posted... but Cutler's record when Denver's terrible defense held teams under 21 points? 13-1
-
I'm sure we'll find out in about 7 hours. But I'd bet on 6.
-
I still have a magazine from early-season '06. The cover: "On the Hot List: Rex Grossman" Remember the Pro-Bowl voting commercial with Rex and Moose? That was pretty awesome.
-
Yeah, what happened to CM? What station is that? I'd like to listen online, especially since a Packer fan sits at the next desk over. :) Boers and Bernstein is on WSCR... 670thescore.com I'm sure both WSCR and ESPN1000 will carry it. And yea, it's at 5.

I bought a Rex jersey after the Atlanta game... and was able to wear it proudly for... a little while...
-
I think it's at 5 pm today... but I'm doubting myself... might be 6.
-
I wonder if that's slightly skewed by the 3 NFL North teams playing an 0-16 Detroit team twice. It can't hurt.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4027503 Bears look to have the easiest schedule in the NFL next year. Bring on the haters if/when we have a good record, but I'll take it.
-
still a questionable OL, crappy receivers, and an aging defense. Bingo. Some people are acting like Cutler is Flutie, Montana, Young, McMahon, Manning and Brady all rolled into one. It's just hard for me to get excited over Cutler since the Bears have had like 30 QBs since I started watching as a little kid in the 70's. Plus I'm not excited about Pace either. He was great 8 to 10 years ago, but now he's getting pretty old in a position that has a very short shelf life. That's exactly why you should be excited about this. You're talking about a 26 year old pro-bowl quarterback with a rocket arm (lolz) who is past his growing pain years and is just about to enter his prime. Put this into perspective. Think about the QB's we've started over the past few years. I mean, Grossman and Orton were significantly better than a bunch of those guys. And Cutler is light years better than both of them.

Greg Olsen is about to fulfill a whole lot more of his potential.
-
bears open the season on sunday night? i've been trying to find the schedule but with no luck. i thought i heard that... maybe i'm wrong :-k
-
i'm getting chills thinking about that opening sunday night game now
-
NFL Network really likes it for the Bears.
-
orlando pace is signed.
-
Whispers that Pace could be taking a physical and signing soon.
-
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I heard it in the car 20 minutes ago and I started yelling and celebrating like a maniac.
-
What I think you're looking at looks to just be BP's Pecota projected standings. I'm guessing ESPN will have their "experts" predicting who wins each division and such at some point.

Alfonso Soriano - Gold Glove candidate?
David replied to son of sanford and son's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I guess that just depends on how much stock we put into defensive metrics that we all know to be fairly flawed. They're getting better, but I don't know if I put enough stock in them to put them ahead of what my eyes tell me in a case like Soriano's. Granted, the throwing out runners point is valid. -
Michael was waaaay more talented than Magic Johnson. Faster, stronger, jumped higher, more coordinate, everything. It's such a subjective thing though. I mean, so many guys in the league have all those athletic abilities and don't amount to much of anything. JR Smith comes immediately to mind. Either way, like everyone else has said, it won't be much of a conversation until LBJ starts winning rings, right or wrong (in basketball, I tend to think it's right, because the best teams/best players seem able to impose their will enough to win most of the time). It's pretty much inevitable that he will, though, like it was with Shaq about 10 years ago.

maybe not a Pippen, but Ilgauskus is way better than Cartwright/Purdue, and guys like Williams, West and Varejao are close enough to Paxson, Armstrong, Kerr or Grant to compliment LeBron. Plus, LeBron doesn't have the Magic Lakers, Isiah Pistons and Larry Celtics to contend with. He has the Dwight Magic, Kobe Lakers and the big 3 Celtics. Either way, most in this thread for some reason decided to forget how to comprehend the written word. Nobody is saying LeBron definitely will or already has surpassed Jordan. I'm just saying, it's a probability. Hand check rules, Jordan rules, blah blah blah. I love Michael as much as anyone, but there is nothing on the court that Jordan could do that LeBron can't. There are however some things LeBron can do that Jordan couldn't. The variable is the great eye of the Jordan and his thirst for domination. Does LeBron have that? Does it matter? We'll see. But isn't that all what it comes down to anyway? There are players who have been more "skilled" than Michael. I mean, Magic almost averaged a triple double a couple of seasons, just to name one off the top of my head. But the competitiveness and all that is what set MJ so far apart.
