  1. Peter King on what Poles told him Taken from a Sports Mockery article but it's King's words. Not sure why the MF DOOM ALL CAPS horsefeathers though. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  2. Poles said he basically had deals to go from 1>2>9 and have 3 1s for next year but he felt the sense of urgency from CAR to get it done now and HOU wanted to wait and he was worried the QBs might not show out as expected at their pro days and he felt the deal might have fallen apart between now and then, so he took the sure thing. Can't be upset with what we got but damn. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  3. Where would you guys feel comfortable taking Adebawore? Raw but off the chart measurables. 280 lbs ran a 4.49 and huge explosion numbers. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  4. Is PCA's floor Kevin Kiermaierish? (who has more career fwar than Aramis) How much worse offensively is PCA than KK right now. I just don't think you put someone with that floor at 10. Neither do any evaluators worth spit that I've seen. Tom has been not-so-subtly downplaying his Future value for the last year. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  5. USA can't actually win with that rotation can they? Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  6. Have you ever considered that you don't actually know how to judge what you are seeing? Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  7. yea, it was an incredibly tragic event but also I'm not convinced in any way Carter's fault. They were kids out being dumb kids his pro-day was concerning however Also have to grant him some leeway for being out of shape considering the circumstances surrounding him though, IMO. I saw it mentioned elsewhere and I think it bears consideration that he doesn't seem like a guy Eberflus would be enamored with because of the question of motor and motivation. My dad is driving me nuts with all the Carter love TBH. I'm hoping he's there at 9 and we trade out, just to see his reaction. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  8. I'm not saying it's much ado about nothing but I think the OL concerns are a little overblown. Definitely don't feel like we are in a box where we have to take an OT with 9, even though I would not mind a couple different players at that spot. Was Braxton Jones on anyone here's radar last year? Not gonna sweat it. Poles just talked about having Cody at C (where he was at his best) so our interior is drastically improved. Shouldn't we expect some development from Borom? He had a really good record in college at protecting the QB. Not the most athletically gifted player but technically sound, he could be a solid RT with time/reps. I hope Poles trades back. But if he doesn't he could go any number of directions. Hell I saw someone mention making Claypool a move TE and drafting JSN. Crazy thought but intriguing. That would be quite a set of weapons for JF1 to utilize. I mean get him a beast in the slot and a RB to bail him out (provided he utilizes him) and he will take a lot less punishment even behind an average line. Jones-Davis-Whitehair-Jenkins-Borom or rookie is a line of at least average quality, right? Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  9. I got caught in one of the nastiest storms I've ever experienced leaving Sedona, AZ. Could not see the road at all and there was lightning striking the hills around us for miles. Fires breaking out in the pouring rain. Those flash floods are no joke. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  10. I don't like having a hardline stance on 30 year old FA. I would have paid that man the money. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  11. You better sign that 32 yo WR that hasn't put up 500 yards this decade! Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  12. They'll make games 10 innings in the next couple years to make up the lost revenue Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  13. Depending how lean you wanted to go I believe it would have just been a 4th, not a 3rd, and not multiple ones. He clearly has a draft focus on accumulating extra picks - equivalent to what comp picks would be. I'm not concerned that he didn't get comp picks Y1. It's an all encompassing approach. Thought for sure it was gonna be a 3rd, but even so, this was the year to do it. We should have stayed away from all FA linked to compensation. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  14. I didn't want to go into detail and beat the horse further but I was speaking specifically to blowing the comp picks, did not mean Pace. Poles traded good players, didn't re-sign good players, and was clearly tanking, so why throw away an extra 3rd and a couple 5ths to sign bodies? He lucked into the #1 and we are still going to have a mighty warchest but it still chaps me obviously. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  15. Oh the spoils we could have had if Poles hadn't been a moron Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  16. I feel like we need a 30/30 on this horsefeathers. It's unreal. From a 4-6 week initial diagnosis to not playing for 2.5 years potentially. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  17. TMobile will be offering free MLB.tv again this year. Signup will be from 3/28-4/3 Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  18. They did allow 9 more offensive rebounds, so there's some validity to that. They allowed 20 more shots. And the Bulls just don't hit enough 3s unless Zack has one of his blistering performances. High % is nice but they only hit 10 3s while the Pacers hit 16.

  19. Maddon was hyper-aware of shenanigans other teams were pulling because he probably had the team pulling some horsefeathers as well. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  20. May 25 will be 2 Dope Boyz In A Cadillac night in Atlanta Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  21. I've been a devout poster on the Cubs prosportsdaily forum for damn near 20 years and I know there's some posters here that used to post there and a few that still do. There was a mass exodus after a prominent poster was banned over something really ridiculous and that is a dark day in that forum's history because we lost a lot of great members. When I first heard about this place in 2016 and started lurking I was really blown away at the quality and quantity of posts. Eventually I started posting and I have to say that it is a tough nut to crack for a new user. You guys have a tightknit community and I really didn't feel all that welcome for a while, but I wanted to stick around because I really enjoyed the content, and, admittedly, I made a lot of dumb posts and complained too much about little things the Cubs players did that I didn't like while they were the closest thing to a juggernaut that they would ever be in my lifetime. Still, there were times where I definitely felt like you guys really didn't want any new members, although I may have just put my foot in my mouth a little too often. Maybe I'm too sensitive as well. I think this is a really great place. I am also curious to see how the new posters are treated. I believe this can be a great thing for the site and you guys have put in a lot of your time to keep this place active and interesting, so I hope that you are rewarded with even more great content; just might want to ease up on the hazing slightly IDK.

  22. Wonder if Lillard set the record for total distance of shots from the basket in a game. He hit a handful from 5+ feet from behind the line. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  23. It's the horsefeathering first day man chill the horsefeathers out Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  24. If they end up with an elite QB than it was a good trade though, right? Yeah it's only moving up one spot but the competition is fierce. I think it's hella far fetched but can sort of see the logic behind it. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
