20 years of being a dick to voters/media played a huge role in Belichick being left out of the HALL. Do I agree with it? No. Do I think these voters should not be allowed to vote again because they passed on Belichick for the HALL? Yes.
Bill Polian was the leader of the "make Belichick wait a year" crowd.
The Olympic break is coming and I believe the Hawks want him to play though the break. I also believe they prefer him to play first line minutes at RFD instead of B6 minutes in Chicago.
One of their owners, Art Rooney II does NOT want a rebuild. So my guess is they will bring Rodgers back and hope Will Howard will be ready by the end of 2026.
Ngl, I initially confused Chas McCormick with Jake Marisnick.
Cubs like reclamation projects, I would not mind if the Cubs took a flier of Aaron Sanchez.
The thing is, they don't have to make a trade for him. They can simply wait until he becomes a free agent. IMO, the only things that prevent the Dodgers from getting Skubal is a work stoppage.
Of course I want Jed to be in on and then land Skubal but do you think the Cubs are going to spend 350/400m on a pitcher? They have not even broke 200m on a position player yet.
They have lost what Sterns, Counsell, Hader, Williams, Burnes, Adames, over the last few years and they just keep coming. So, losing Peralta, likely won't mean anything to them.
The one prospect that I dream the most on becoming the super dooper superstar was Corey Patterson. While he did have serviceable career but he should have been more.
Others include: Luis Montanez, Ryan Harvey. Brett Jackson and Josh Vitters. Not to mentioned others that have already been mentioned in this thread.
The talent is there but I think I will let him walk. Brisker has already said that despite his concussions, he is not going to change the way he plays.
I like to think of it as Caleb running him out of the NFC North. That he decided that he would rather face Allen/Maye and whoever Jets put out there than face Caleb again. It's not true, I know that but I prefer to think it.
