    So I wonder how much of the league is going to be cutting payroll or not spending because of the Bally's/RSN stuff. Time for us big market guys with (kinda) their own network and streaming service to eat.
  2. David
    Yep. And, IIRC, Matt Spiegel at the Score was actually the first to report the Stroman signing was imminent, before any of the big national guys.

    We heard about their interest in Swanson for months. I remember because I was dreading it and wanted no part of it (I'm dumb though). Many of us, myself included, wanted it to be Correa, Bogaerts, or Turner,
  4. David
    Swanson was absolutely rumored for a long time.

    sup guys this is pretty horsefeathers awesome
  6. David
    of course he had to drop the "guys that got us here" horsefeathers again
  7. David
    Let's horsefeathers goooooo

    People keep bringing up the 10 games under/10 games over achievement, but I feel like even that doesn't quite put it into proper context. The Cubs are 50-28 over a 3 month span (since June 8 - the sweep at LAA). That' s a .641/103 win clip. Sustained over 3 months. Imagine how different the perception of this team would be if even only half of the ****** luck of those first 2 months hadn't happened (yeah, it has evened out plenty since, but just saying).

    Heard someone make the point today that this is the first good Cubs team that isn't really tied to the WS team (yeah, yeah, Hendricks and kinda Jeimer) but also doesn't have all the crap and anxiety (and talk) about the curse hanging over them. Literally something we've never experienced, lol.
  10. David
    I think said regulations exist and are being used as the grounds for his claim.

    Shot in the dark here...would be sweet to have 2 more players in by tonight's draft.
  12. David
    This was a good read.
  13. David
    I'm not going to even bother putting in the effort to point out why that's a terrible comparison, but it's a terrible comparison.

    The Happ at GABP thing is just insane
  15. David
    Orlovsky kinda said it. Greenberg kinda said it. You can decide whether that's a good or bad thing lol.
  16. David
    Yeah. Fields managed to lead them to 30 points a week for a good stretch there (and against some good defenses) while he still had (pretty much only) Mooney around. Now he's got DJ Moore, Mooney, Claypool, an upgraded OL, and a better RB room, and is in his second year in the system. They might be a lot better than we are even allowing ourselves to think on offense. I don't really give a single horsefeathers what happened in the preseason.Of course, the OL could still be a disaster, or more injuries might pile up. I have a hard time seeing Fields being a disaster, though. He might just not be great, but I think he's pretty clearly at least a start-able NFL QB (for however long he's healthy). The running ability and the way it affects defenses really raises his floor.
  17. David
    You're in. Ideally would be nice to get two more if anyone else is still interested. OH, and we're also efforting da bum.
  18. David
    Pretty much what it says in the title. We have nine people so far. Need either 1 to get to 10, or 3 to get to 12 (ideally). Reply here if interested. Details on scoring (strongly leaning half PPR) and rules not quite squared away yet. Currently planning on 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE/WR Flex, 1 Flex, 1 Superflex. No kickers. Maybe have D/ST.
  19. David
    I was insanely wrong about some of this (Mervis/Davis ugh lol) and less wrong, but still wrong about some (Seiya) but either way we're on pace for 86-87 wins heading into September. Let's get greedy, though. I want 90.
  20. David
    Don't look now but there's a reasonably realistic chance to get to 90 wins at this point. Need to go 19-10.
  21. David
    Ah, gotcha. Maybe it's been circulating again because the anniversary just passed. Yeah, that pissed me off too. Can't say I'm surprised that either one of them are Trumpers though.
  22. David
    Am I missing something with posting this now/here? Did something come up recently about this?
  23. David
    Here's another question... If you could pick either scenario, which are you taking? Big disclaimer - there are no long term ramifications to be gleaned. It will have no bearing on the future of either QB - good or bad. 1) Fields balls out, 350+ yards and 3+ TD, Love is bad, and the Bears win big. Brewers sweep the Cubs. 2) Jordan Love balls out, Fields is bad, Bears lose. Cubs sweep Brewers. I'm picking the first one but feeling a little dirty about it. I have a feeling I know what PacklandVA is gonna pick.
  24. David
    Yeah that was the first time I ever thought about an emotional hedge lol, but I wasn't old enough to bet and didn't really have any betting options anyway (or know a bookie lol)
  25. David
    Yeah, I was thinking about goony's emotional hedge idea and it occurred to me it would have to be a pretty damn big bet for it to take the sting off losing to those horsefeatherss again, especially now that the witch is dead (well, on the Jets).
