This. Let's not sign Fielder, and we'll just stand pat and wait for the perfect situation which may never come. If Fielder's not worth a couple of possibly mediocre years at the end of a seven year deal, who is? He's 27 years old and entering his prime. We are likely to get at least 4-5 years of elite production out of him. I've seen a lot of bellyaching about how we shouldn't sign him because 1-2 mediocre years at the end of a contract are going to somehow cripple the Cubs in the future, but no alternate suggestions. If not Prince, who is going to pop up in the next few years as the long term solution at first base? I also find it interesting how the general attitude on this board toward getting Prince changed as soon as Theo took over. it changed because people thought theo was going to draft a million elite players and we wouldn't need to sign free agents. it goes back to the meatball idea of "building a team the right way", which is closely related to "playing the game the right way". sure, any team that's in contention year after year is going to have some home-grown starters, but if you are a big market team, you have the luxury of signing elite talent for elite money.

2012 College Football Offseason Thread

beckman sounds about right. i mean, who did you expect, nick saban? Sounds like somebody doesn't know how to operate a dump truck. maybe thomas is a darcula and could only rent the dump truck fore daylight hours or maybe he's reverse dracula and could only rent it at night. -

please let's do this again tomorrow so chris paul loses his mind and jumps off a [expletive] cliff.

bite me you mexicans!
-
this team certainly has a lot of mexicans

one would expect the victim of this prison rape to fight back, but no, it was the other prisoners, you know, the ones who didn't want to be turned gay eventually, that broke this brutality up. why do teams go all bare-ass for the lakers?
-
unlike the other cheap available options, he surely has the potential for more today's moves make me wonder why Theo hasn't dismissed Wilken; three recent very high picks of his he's let go without pause he does fill a hole if he can provide some power. we're going to need a lot of it, a lot.
-
yeah, whatever to this. he's a below average player at 3rd.

http://www.alligatorarmy.com/2011/12/8/2621834/charlie-weis-kansas-head-coach-florida Jesus. Wouldn't think they'd have to pay him that much. And whoever mentioned Crist, over what we've had recently, I think I'd take him in a heartbeat. ku must have conjured themselves a new [expletive] wizard -

bad or real bad, haven't decided which yet. but this is the type of coach i had in mind when i asked the question what kind of coach do you think illinois can get if they fire zook. -
yeah, because pujols and fielder are available every offseason.

I don't know about the rumors, but Forde left for Yahoo about a month ago. i'm sure there are investigative pieces that take a little more than a month to research and write. No doubt, I couldn't tell if you knew Forde had left ESPN from your post. yeah, i can see that. i guess i just assumed that it was sort of common knowledge.

what are these rumors i hear about pat forde leaving ESPN because they were trying to protect kentucky from a story he's going to run about the illicit recruitment of the unibrowed one?

If you can watch just the first 5 and the last 5, it'll be worth it. it was nearly the basketball equivalent of the bears-chiefs game, except williams dropped that pass.
-
I actually think he quietly had a really good game. Their center only shot 7-19 and Leonard decided to start boarding with authority as soon as I insulted his ability at it. yeah, i just saw him coughing like a lot into a towel and thought he might be sick
-
i DVR the games and always re-watch the wins and erase all the losses, but i don't think i'm going to re-watch this one.
-
well, weber defense rescued weber offense.
-
is meyers sick?
-
He's got McCameyitis paul is longer and quicker than mccamey. he should be slashing to the hoop all the time.
-
i don't [expletive] get it
-
i don't get it
-
i don't know if it's his choice or weber's choice for him to stand and dribble 10 feet behind the three-point line. why hasn't he been driving the ball all game?

mid-major coaching. instead of coaching to your team's talent, you coach down to the other team's talent.
