  1. My brother in law just told me about the trade and I said, "huh, never heard of him" . He assumed I meant the return and I just went with it. 8-[
  2. In additional controversial news
  3. Is there more to this made up conversation than what I read on this blog? Is there a link to page 2 or something? No. Maybe he'll go on that Irish podcast and share more though lol. Sorry I should have warned the link didn't really give any "information" that couldn't be guessed at.
  4. More rumor mill stuff from Bears Fandom's most polarizing blogger: https://www.dabearsblog.com/2022/three-questions-with-redacted-about-the-potential-of-the-2022-chicago-bears
  5. lets table that and circle back after you get a chance to workshop the earth is flat actually so you can't really circle back to anything Its a disc, so you can still circle back to it technically.
  6. Appears to be a salary dump trade for Hawks? Move up 13 slots.
  7. I mean they did do bottom to dynasty in 4 years before right?
  8. Nothing like the transformative impact of parking.
  9. Yea, if Soldier Field had a bunch of supporting amenities and revenue opportunities, plus another 10k seats I kind of doubt they'd be looking seriously at a large scale replacement. Plenty of other stadiums built before SF will well outlast its life because they weren't cluster fucks from the start. In fact if the Bears had just done the indoor McDome, theyd probably have gotten by with just renovations along the way to modernize/add suites and that's it.
  10. I haven't kept up with the NBA cap like I used to many years ago, but aren't they likely need to use additional space in season that would push them over that then?
  11. What a godawful take https://twitter.com/peggykusinski/status/1543233052599525376?t=GpnlQ8upiJDvURCktUEI8w&s=19 Oh the two players arrested also have direct ties to the HC and GM.
  12. So prob one more minimum+ type signing.
  13. Obviously every experience is different to some degree. I looked it up after making that post yesterday and some websites of unknown authority made some bigger claims about ALS and pain but the well known sites like Mayo Clinic and ALS org downplay it's pain effects. So :shrug: It's an awful disease but based on any first or second hand experience I've had with it, those who suffer often times have a pretty peaceful end, and not, "I just wish it would end" mindset. It isn't the writhing in pain experience. It's very difficult to watch and care for though. And obviously it's difficult to experience for the patients. But when I think about the "I pray for it to be over for them" type attitude, it's a way more complex situation than other types of death I've watched for ill people. Whether it's severely sick patients who are basically comotose from the pain management meds and sever physical pain, or people who have lost their mind and aren't even there mentally.. It's just a lot different.
  14. Ok, I've been trying to figure out this comment but I'm really not sure what you're saying here. LOL. read an article yesterday about mcmichael having a fentanyl patch on him at all times. yeah, the dude is in constant pain. Huh, my understanding of ALS is that sort of pain and pain managemt isn't super common. But I guess it's possible. That sucks if it's the case. Even thinking of family members who I have watched die in hospice from organ failure related to age, the pain management plan wiped out any quality of life. ALS patients (again from everything I've personally known) generally maintain all their mental faculties (if they lose it it may be related to some other concurrent issue), and if they aren't in pain or their pain management needs require very low doses of stuff that don't turn them into a glazed-over shell of themselves, than the idea of merciful pleas re: their life may be misguided.
  15. Pain/discomfort wise it's, to my understanding, not physically so. Mentally is of course a different story. Not to minimize that aspect, but having lost a uncle to a similar disease to ALS, I'll say the emotions around end of life care and quality of life and such are generally much more complex that say, someone who's body is being wrecked by cancer. Ok, I've been trying to figure out this comment but I'm really not sure what you're saying here. LOL. Addressing the pain/discomfort comment. My understanding is that from a physical pain component, ALS is generally not a painful disease.
  16. Heart breaking. Yeah, at this point I want it over for him. Has to be in unbearable pain and discomfort. Pain/discomfort wise it's, to my understanding, not physically so. Mentally is of course a different story.

  17. Does he replace PWill when he goes in the Gobert trade?
  18. For a guy who got famous among baseball fans for being a sabr guy, he's shockingly number illiterate. He's had some takes during COVID that show he doesn't super get math. Was he ever explicitly a sabr guy or did he just make a funny running joke about a fictional law firm using sabr stat names?
  19. I think this is an unneccsarily complex way to say that if your bad, being worse than bad is whatever. Kinda. It's more saying you aren't worse. Pro athletes are the tip of the bell curve, but it starts to widen out as you move down. There's a big difference between the 1st and 5th best tackle you can get, but there's probably no real difference between the 6th and 10th. Eh, if we're talking 6th to 10th we're still pretty far from replacement level too. More like 20th to 40th. The only real depth they added was day 3 rookies who rarely out produce replacement level vets.
  20. If you have the time the free park and ride really isn't a bad bet. Although my parents used it a few weeks ago and at that time they werent dropping you off right at the stadium. Not sure if that was still the case or a short term thing cuz there was/is construction. Edit - nevermind that's only nights and weekends.
  21. I think this is an unneccsarily complex way to say that if your bad, being worse than bad is whatever.
  22. .........the GM and assistant GM were NFL O-linemen and know what to look for for OL prospects. Is the go-to reasoning for people being OK with a severe lack of talent added to an already bad OL. Not only is it the go to reasoning, but 9 times out of 10 the people saying it are very indignant about it all lol.
  23. No you see you don't need depth or actual good players because
  24. Good news: breaking the law is the new market inefficiency New? Belichick has been for 2 decades.
