Okay there's only like 2 Portillos within the actual city limits so that's highly unlikely.
-
I think its just boche ball. Its similar, but I think whatever that game is called they used slightly oblong balls instead of perfect spheres.
-
Not sure. I didn’t see anything particularly impressive from Mitch that makes me think that Nagy and the Bears were the only thing holding him back from dominance. He still had questionable throws. The defense gave him easy throws and he took them. But the media is already blowing this up but whatever. Yea I'm not in any way worried Mitch is secretly good. And it's preseason so I'm not too worried either way. But if you told me it would turn out the D is ready to turn into bums I wouldn't be surprised either.
-
I only caught a little. But Mitch is a known bum slayer. So is the D a bunch of bums?

i've been seeing a lot of people whose opinions on OL play i would respect say pretty positive things about borom in camp. it would be cool if he could win the job now and turn out to be a solid LT...then just throw jenkins into the shallow end to start at RT if/when he's ready. then switch them next year if you want to get crazy. but yeah i realize it's crazy to expect anything out of a 5th round rookie LT. In the crazy event that Borom is a solid LT, there's no way I'm switching them around next year. That would be crazy. Would be great to see a Peters-Borom competition at this point though.

My default assumption is NFL coaches are among the most needlessly conservative professionals around and they're actually being nonsensical delaying him.

Isn't that the crux of it? Every other major league/union has a guaranteed revenue share right? MLB has gone without but also not had a cap. If the ownership really wants to push for a real or de facto cap and floor, they're going to give on a revenue split right?

Oh a highly drafted Bears OT has immediate health Issues? ALWAYS MY TEAMS

That's my Quarterback.

This is exactly why I'm only keeping one foot on the hype train. It's always different this time, until it isn't. But maybe this time it is. Its different this time though.
-
This does not bring me any comfort about the line.
-
Yep, honestly I think he should start or split time with Trevathan.
-
We've never had Justin Fields before.

The team's payroll rank for those 3 years was 9th, 14th, and 19th, for an easy to calculate average of 14th. That equates to a ~125-130 million payroll in 2021, the White Sox, Twins, and Braves are all right there if you want a mental image. This is the crux of what I'm getting at, I'm not even saying the ideology is 100% wrong but when you actually put specifics to it you don't have to write off the immediate future the way the team did in 2012. Things might be much worse than they ought to be(and also might not, see my post above), but that doesn't mean catastrophic things for the next 3 years. I almost said a low midmarket team but small market team sounded cooler and didnt think anyone would call me out on it. :D I just can't remember ever seeing a bad team become a good team in 2 years with ~80% of the team being acquired during the interim. Yes teams often bring up prospects, but how many current prospects do you see being a part of the 2023 team? What does the Cubs projected payroll look like after arb raises? $60m? I just can't see Jed spending $65-70m this offseason to get the payroll up to that $125-$130 level. Maybe I'm wrong, as that could be like 3-4 players these days. I don't know about 80%, but I'm reminded of this 538 article. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-2016-cubs-won-just-like-the-1997-marlins-did/

My assumption is we're in for another true tank. If reality is somehow immediately going hard to compete again in 2022, I could actually live with the occassional mid-year tank sell off every 4-5 years. Kimbrell and Chaffin were the only non-rentals they sold off right? If it's a one year tank... Lame. If it's a multi year tank, im done with em.
-
I mean even if Lance ends up being awesome it will be hilarious how much they gave up to do it when they could have stood pat and probably ended up with one of the two. Or traded up much less.
-
I'm still in awe that MY team more or less fell as backwards into a talent like Fields and it didn't involve some horrific tank job, but just general NFL incompetence and having the right trigger happy NFL GM at the helm to be aggressive for it.
-
Honestly I think Turners was cooler, if I'm trying to put my obvious Javy Baez aside. Javy still wins the all around cool competition though.
-
Did we? I feel like most still recognized that TB was a trash pass D that year. Like it was promising because shredding trash Ds is what good QBs do, but it was still obvious Mitch played way down to good competition too.
-
Jay Cutler has Twitter now, and it's, well.... He was more fun as a memeable don't care QB.
-
Sorry you cant dumb down star talent like Fields. It was a big concern with Trubisky, but Fields is not Trubisky. Not worried.
-
If one were so inclined to engage, which would be dumb, we're at least adding Puerto Ricos one gold to the US's count. But also it would be really dumb to get into said possing match. But just saying. Why stop there? Why not add Canada? Eh, I guess it depends on what angle we're taking. I was originally thinking more colonialist for USA, so see if Phillipines or Cuba or other former territories should count, but my sophomoric world history also probably recognizes the analogy broke down long ago. But we're definitely counting the Puerto Rico gold.
