hopefully someday the cubs get a clutch power hitter instead of that scrub Like this guy?

it takes a twisted brain to think seinfeld sucks But Seinfeld does suck and is one of the worst show of all time.....

This. Plus not only if you make him a DC which will bring out the media being all "when will Trestman go?", you'll have to pay Rex just as much or more than what Trestman makes IMO. He's going to look for a HC elsewhere first and someone will give him a chance.

?? I think he's talking about the renderings of the outfield party deck thing ( or whatever it's called) looks like a lot of weight for those 2 post to hold up, I'm sure there's more to it than what it shows. http://i.imgur.com/4DNs2pA.png This rendering? I could explain, but it can get technical. Basically most of that weight will sit on the trusses (right below club deck/lounge) and go to the exterior (where the marquee sign). The 2 posts in front is helping out of course, but it's not taking the brunt of the weight of the entire upper deck. It's mainly holding up the club seats and the suites. Plus those posts/beams/trusses are all connected which makes them even stronger. What Lefty really should be asking is if there's any engineers here? An architect is going to draw this up and basically hand this off to an engineer and say "make this works structurally". They may look kinda flimsy, but they can hold a [expletive] ton of weight each and you got like 20 of them all the way around. Another way to think about it is the roof of your house. A lot of people think the weight distribute equally downward, but the exterior walls of your house is taking most of the weight. Not sure if this helps , but when they do the upper deck part of the renovation, I imagine they'll be beefing up the exterior walls and some of the posts inside to accommodate all the extra weight/etc.

Just coming to post. Also got rid of 2 off the practice squad (Roy Philbon-DL and Rashad Ross) and added 2 LBs that were previously on the PS, Terrell Manning and DeDe Lattimore. And brought 5'6" KR Trindon Holliday in for a tryout. I know he's just strictly a returner, but I'm really surprised that he doesn't have a job. 4 return TDs in basically 2 seasons so far. He had a job up until yesterday. Really? Who was he with and why wasn't he returning kicks/punts?

If you need a laugh... Walter mock picks- 11: Ronald Darby CB 43: Owamagbe Odighizuwa DE (Michael Bennett/Shaq Thompson/McKinney still available) 75: Jordan Richards S BONUS: If you're wondering who Charlie picked for the Bears in his mock- 14: Landon Collins S 46: Shaq Thompson OLB 78: Cedric Reed DE

Screw you guys... Bears 45 Falcons 0

Just quit saying Cutler threw into triple coverage on his first INT. There was only 1 guy covering him and he had his back to Jay. It's not even close to triple coverage. Yes both S were closing in, but that was after the ball was in the air and didn't even affect Marshall or the pass. Almost every single QB in the NFL would've threw on that play when the defender has their back to him the entire way. That pass was one of like 3 passes all day that Cutler didn't overthrew and they caught a bad break at the end of that play.

I don't know how Allen's contract is because I believe 12 mil of that is due to a roster bonus, but it's still guaranteed though.

We're giving these coaches another year? Oh good guess I can take the Bears out of my life. You give Trestman another year. What you do is fire Tucker and Joe D and get an upgrade at those spots. Spend more $$/draft more defensive players and see how it goes next season. If they don't improve, Trestman is gone. Well Tucker and Joe D should have been gone after last year's debacle. Giving them another year was the nail in this season. True, but how often do you fire a DC or even a ST coach after 1 season? Lets not use Raiders or Browns as an example here. LOL

Even with 2 INTs and a fumble lost (not sure if it counts towards it), Cutler still had a 95.5 QB rating. LOL

2003-08 Cubs 2004-2006, 2009-2014 Just 2006 Cubs is enough. What a pathetic season that was.

Just stop. Holmes did get bumped, but that was all on Jay there. Just a complete overthrow. Holmes didn't have a chance at that.

We have. Just once so far this year. LOL

This week? Who the hell do you have at WR that you could bench Jeffery for? yeah, Jeffery is a WR1 in a 10-12 man league I should explain. This is my 3rd most important league of 3 leagues and no money on the line. I sat him week 2 and week 3 when he was banged up, forgot to start him last week because I didn't check my roster in time and then checked in at like 11:45 and put him in. Oh and it's literally the stupidest league ever, 8 teams start 1 wr, 1 rb and a flex Oh... one of those leagues.

That was a beautiful throw by Ponder. Too bad it was like 6 yards past the end of the end zone.

This issue hasn't gone away and I hope many decline the settlement and the judge allows such challenges. I want the NFL to be held accountable for the brutality of the sport. Settle it with cash and deny responsibility shouldn't be deemed as an acceptable plea bargain. They know admitting responsibility will eventually bankrupt the league from former players, especially with all the (never a past/recent history) cover-ups they have done regarding concussions. Of course, they would never claim a media source to be false or decline comments. Maybe Goodell could put some black shoe polish in his hair, host an event on Labor Day for the former players and call it a day. It won't happen. No way a judge will allow this to happen. Main reason is because people CHOSE to play this sport and they knew the damage of playing this sport (maybe not CTE mind you, but they def were aware what kind of injuries they could have and how it'll affect them after they retire). Heck most of these players kept playing or even withdrew info from their coaches/trainers. Remember the Urlacher quote like 2 years ago where he would kept the info of being knocked out/concussed to himself and would keep playing. He's not the only player who said things like that and look at how people/players reacted about Cutler's injury in the NFC Championship. Not only that... lets say the players DO win the lawsuit against the NFL. What's going to stop other former players to sue their colleges/high schools for the exact same thing? Shouldn't college/high school/etc should be accountable as well? It can be just as brutal on those levels. You're just going to open a can of worms here. I do want ex-players to get they need so they can get the care and help for CTE/whatever else they can't afford due to medical bills and I think it'll be settled out of court (it just depends on how much $$$).

I'm secretly hoping Bears will draft him in the 1st. I think I like him more than Collins.

You ever tried to deny a 60-pound autistic kid his videos? I don't care if everything else in life falls apart, the internet is always there. derwood can watch whatever he wants http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_meaon3zcEV1rjxj9ko1_250.gif

I would argue that we need DT just as much as DE and an impact DT is far more valuable than an impact DE IMO. Esp in this defensive scheme. Getting consistent pressure on the inside will open things up for the DEs. But we can all agree that it'll be another offseason/draft of mainly defensive players and have needs at every position.
