  1. McClung can probably do that 540 blindfolded. He knew he had it. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  2. He also always looks like he's trying to lift 1000 lbs when he swings Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  3. LMFAO Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  4. Apparently Fridge was +2500 to score in SB20 Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  5. Similar to Brady, right? His counting stats look so far out of reach for anyone. At 44 years old he threw for 5300 yards and 43 TDs, and went out with a (obligatory reminder the Bears have never had one such season) 4600 yard season and 25 TDs. You literally have to throw for 90K yards and 650 TDs to pass him. But his efficiency stats are also just incredible; a 97 rating with a 3:1 TD:INT. Oh and 7 rings. What LeBron is doing is a mindbender. I have little doubt he could be an MVP top 10 at age 50 if he just kept playing. His physical prowess is unbelievable.

  6. Cam Thomas has gone off the deep end crazy since the trade. 134 points in 3 games. Yet another late 1st rounder that is turning out to be a potential superstar. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  7. For real, I don't think I've ever seen a penalty so stupid with those stakes Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  8. Once again just steamrolled in the 2nd half Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  9. Despite the tons of money the Bears have to spend, I still expect them to look for value in free agency. That's not to say they will bargain shop like last year. I explained this somewhere else, but my example is this. Da'Ron Payne, he's probably going to get 22Mil AAV on the open market. 2nd highest paid DT makes 21AAV, so I'd guess at 25, he gets a touch more. But as long as Aaron Donald is around, he'll be the 2nd highest paid DT and the best case scenario is his play is that of the 2nd best DT in the league. And based on his salary (and others right below him) we know that level of DT play is worth about 20-22Mil per year. Basically, there's 0 chance he provides surplus value over his cost because you're already paying him tops at his position. A guy like Dre'Mont Jones from Denver, may cost like 15Mil/year, but he could give you top 10-15 DT level play on the field, which may be worth like 16-18Mil, so essentially you could get a surplus in value because there is a chance (no matter how slight) that he outperforms his salary in any given year. So, I still think Poles will spend a bunch of money (again he has to). But I do think he will be smart about it. He will look for ascending players, who are still young, potentially improving, and have been successful in smaller roles. And honestly, this is how all teams should look at adding in free agency, if they aren't surely one of the top 5 contenders missing singular pieces here and there. I understand your point and agree to an extent but not totally. If there's a player that is 30 but they play a pivotal position like 3T, there's still potential there for a transformative addition and a player that will make all the ancillary pieces better. Add them whenever they are available, I say. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  10. Nobody in the draft is worth passing up on the trade from 1 IMO. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  11. That 98 yard Henne drive was massive Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  12. Did Horton crack their 100 that just missed the cut
  13. But Wink did horsefeathers my girl
  14. Lol wow Huntley has played really well tonight but that was a brutal giveaway. Wasn't even close to breaking the plain.
  15. Sign Chafin for more LH help. The fit is perfect.
  16. You've pretty much been lying on the "PCA is actually overrated guys" hill for the last year Do you even have him in your top 5?
  17. I was so confused as to what that slash line was supposed to represent. Who the hell was shooting all the FTA, Shaq? I was legit hoping the FT% would fall below other 2. Wonder if a team has ever managed that lol
  18. Bulls shot 57/59/59 tonight and beat the Sixers for the first time since 2019 Zach and Vuc had huge games
  19. I'm sure some of you guys can answer, what happens if we don't reach the salary floor?
  20. How much of this should fall on Donovan? He's always talking about how they need to coach and prepare their guys better but it's a recurring theme that they come out flat and discombobulated against shitty teams.
  21. Bears are losing this game by double digits even if MIN put all PS players out there
  22. He has to spend ~140m. It's going to be an epic off-season. I mean he might suck, and not all of his moves are going to work out, but it'll still be pretty fun when we are the it team making several splash moves in FA and hopefully the coup de grace comes with a haul of future picks in a trade-back.
  23. Correct me if Im wrong but can't they go over now and dump salary by the TDL to get back under?
