  1. Appearently. And with the monumental loss of Tank Johnson our team will simply fall to pieces, unable to even imagine winning a playoff game. Don't forget RMJ and Hester will be their starting corners in the playoffs will certainly help make the team fall to pieces. It's ok, I like that the team will be playing with a chip on their shoulder.
  2. Alot of people were saying the same things about his brother. And Jones outproduced Brian last year. Could we atleast give Derosa a chance? You're back. Do I really need to go around saying this all the time? Cut the guy a little slack, alright? I'm tired of this crap. Thanks Tim! It'd sure be nice if people actually responded to my comment, instead of resorting to child like teasing. Can I respond about your user name instead? I find it ironic that someone with your user name has an anti-Giles-on-Cubs stance. :P
  3. Umm. He has UCLA losing once (to Arizona, in Tucson). :shock: I'd definitely take that.
  4. No Cubs got in to yesterday's games, no games today.

  8. That is all. I'm not sure what's funnier, his away message or the fact that you have his AIM screen name. :shrug: He graduated a year after I did - I had a few classes with his roommate and that's how I know Marcedes/found out his s/n.
  9. His blitzing has left a lot to be desired the past few years. If both Tank and Tommie are out, he really needs to do something (his blitzes are far too predicible).
  10. Yeesh, my power goes out at halftime and this is what happens in the second half? Hope this lights a fire in the team. Glad to see Grossman played strong in the second half. The secondary obviously misses Vasher. Meh. At least they have HFA throughout the playoffs.
  11. Exactly. And when it's all said and done, I believe the point will be moot. My guess is that Marquis won't mess with 21 and the Cubs eventually will retire it. I hope the Cubs will eventually retire the number, I'm afraid that too many bridges were burned.
  12. Ted Lilly will wear #30.
  13. Already giving up on Caddy? Enjoy Calvin Johnson.
  14. Drew Brees held to 67 yards of passing in the first half against Washington. :shock: Maurice Jones-Drew with another touchdown today. :)
  15. Cadillac Williams: 5 carries, 8 yards. Rex Grossman: 15-24, 197 yards, 2 TDs Desmond Clark: 6 catches, 107 yards, 2 TDs
  16. "We've been bringing him along slowly every week and we thought this week would be the perfect time to get him a few passes. Maybe we'll get him a few more in the second half." - Lovie on Hester playing offense.
  17. Jacksonville TE Marcedes Lewis has this as his away message on AIM while he's playing football: That is all.
  18. Touchdown Bears!!! Great 2-minute drill by Rex. TD #6 for Clark.
  19. Tillman going to the locker room to get a head start on treatment. Doesn't sound serious.
  20. And you question his tackling ability!
  21. I'd love to see Peanut do that to cap a great season, but I'd also love to see Hester pick-6 one. Never mind, Rattay isn't accurate enough to throw interceptions.
  22. I'd love to see Peanut do that to cap a great season, but I'd also love to see Hester pick-6 one.
  23. I completely, completely disagree. Marquis had #21 in St. Louis, the number isn't retired, and Sosa hasn't been on the team for a few years. If Sosa had died or something, then yes, that's fine, but I think the Cubs would be douchebags if they made him change his number because it was worn by a player a few years ago Because it was worn by a player a few years ago? It was worn by arguably the greatest Cubs of all time. Marquis is a crap player, and shouldn't even think about wearing the same jersey number that Sammy Sosa wore. Yes, Sammy was awesome, but bridges were burned. If the number isn't retired, then someone else should be allowed to wear it. If you don't want a "crap player" to wear it, retire it, simple. Clearly the team doesn't hold Sosa in as high regard as some fans. It's important to this franchise that players embody what it is to "be a Cub", and Sosa just isn't that. He was a great player who put up eye-popping numbers, but he'll never be confused with Banks or Santo as far as championing the Cubs and comitting his post-baseball life to the team (another reason I think Santo's number was retired....he has dedicated so much of his time and energy to the Cubs in the last 30 years. I just don't see Sammy following suit). Part of the criticism is because the Cubs are burning bridges and setting up this situation. Honestly, the Cubs should be more concerned about how they can bring a championship for the first time in 99 years than whether or not one of the team's greatest players is championing the Cubs after his career (especially due to the fact the Cubs contributed a lot to the way Sammy's Cub career ended).
