  1. Well one is literally a racial slur so, while certainly insensitive, I'm not sure Illini and Blackhawks belong in the same sentence well, right. even taking the redskins out of the conversation, it seems like the blackhawks are one of the few organizations with a native american related name that hasn't received a ton of criticism. Brandon's post is one of the few times i've even seen them brought up. but i don't follow hockey a ton, so maybe it's there and i just haven't seen it. I kinda think there just isn't much pressure/outcry to change your mildly offensive name/mascot when the horsefeathering Redskins still exist.
  2. i feel like the blackhawks backlash has been pretty quiet compared to the Redskins, Indians, Chief Illiniwek etc. is there a reason for that? other than hockey just not being as popular as the other sports? or is there pushback that i just haven't seen? Well one is literally a racial slur so, while certainly insensitive, I'm not sure Illini and Blackhawks belong in the same sentence
  3. Since this should have happened 20 years ago I give no one credit for anything
  4. REAL TALK my gf posted this on my phone while i was in the bathroom but also i agree with it The exclamation points were suspect. The rest was straight tree.
  5. Raisin's graph came from a really good article that was posted a few days ago. Derwood should read it. https://deadspin.com/the-mlbpa-is-failing-its-players-1822305159
  6. Holy horsefeathers, there's a guy from Kirkwood Community College in IC?? Bob and Bobson, go see him
  7. This thread title seriously did not get enough props. I know we've come to expect it from jersey, but come on
  8. yes. It's kind of embarrassing. I don't usually go with this media member hates my favorite team take, but he sure seems to dislike the Cubs for some reason. I haven't noticed that with him. He's just the guy who tweets a minor scoop and then covers his ass completely before the 140 characters are up
  9. Cubs Sign Mike Freeman, Kyle Ryan To Minor League Deals, so no wonder the odds improved. Signing Freeman probably killed all of the Machado trade rumors too. =D> http://frontburner.dmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/16.-Trying-to-enjoy-a-show-after-eating-a-ton-of-food1.gif
  10. Shocking, given username. i mean we've got dudes named after starlin castro on here, and a guy with a jen-ho tseng avatar so (holy crap bill hall hit 35 horsefeathering home runs one year) ***D.A.V.I.D FAULTY MEMORY CARD***
  11. Haha this time a post of mine got everyone here in trouble and not just me What's all this now
  12. It's a non-issue if it means Boone won't be there to mansplain Jess Mendoza
  13. EVERYONE I've talked to in the real world believes these things are mutually exclusive
  14. Is there something to be said for the Brewers trying to keep Darvish from signing with the Cubs for any kind of reasonable contract? ...there is not!
  15. Should've been in binary
  16. Also makes sense that it's the biggest FA pitcher who still costs you a pick to sign
  17. Yaaaaass. "Last season, the Cardinals won 83 games but their underlying talent level played like a team that should have won about five more games. The Cubs won 92 games, and that was roughly their talent level during the year last year. We can’t simply look at those win totals or even the underlying peripheral totals, add or subtract the offseason moves and come up with a projected record." NOPE, we gotta totally make horsefeathers up "The Cubs are up 5.2 WAR on the position player side. There are a few different ways to look at that difference. The first is to accept it. " The second is to be really really extra smart and throw out all objective analysis in favor of homer subjectivity. Beautiful.
  18. We really do. Is that Sara Spain moderating?
  19. Wow it would be really awkward if we got both
  20. Wow. Foster Griffin, Dick Lovelady and Bobson Dugnutt could all be cousins
  21. It is way different. But for years, it was a lot less likely that in order to get a guy for the bullpen, you had to give him a multi-year deal. I think now that you do, it makes sense to grab the guy you really like and hope you start your window in year 2 or 3 of his deal.
  22. That is insane. Hosmer is coming off a career walk year where he was worth...4 WAR
