nope, we're trading our 1st, our 3rd, and orton for a franchise qb.

i think i mentioned that i got excited when the rams released him. he was good last year. I think it'd be a good move. Pace isn't a franchise tackle anymore, but he could certainly provide some depth. If he started, that would leave Shaffer to back up both tackle spots (and would further alleviate the desperate need for a tackle in this draft). Or, if he was fine with being a backup and they felt Shaffer's youth would be better starting at RT, then that'd be a pretty solid backup. Pace is old, but an old Pace is still better than a lot of tackles. signing him would give us unbelievable flexibility up front.

he would have been the man at kentucky last time except for the fact that derrick rose wouldn't have followed him.
-
He's going to Iowa to visit his parents every once in a while, while he plays for a good school i'm still hoping for iowa state, but would accept duke or iowa over ku. just as long as he doesn't go there, i'm fine.

nova deserved to win. that's fair.
-
your job is a heartbreaker.
-
i hate when they say "they need a quick 2 here" like the idea of shooting a 3 violates all rules of college basketball. really bad foul right there.

the fat kids are getting tired.

imagine how good pitt would be if dixon would just ask his players to eat like human beings.

it's louie-ville and it will always be louie-ville.

i hate the cavs, even though the bulls made a living beating their brains in in the playoffs growing up. -

john salmons is what deng would be if weren't a stiff. -
Always possible. Past failures shouldn't make a team gunshy, though. yes, i think it should. It should make them more careful when evaluating players with similar skill sets, but it should not necessarily keep them from drafting very talented players. perhaps, but i'm staying away from receivers in the first round altogether. unless there's a calvin johnson available at 18, which is impossible, i'll pass. i think the bears' problem is that they could only give orton enough to make two reads, if he had more time, he would be better, and make his receivers look better. but anyway, i, personally, take a guy who can get after the passer in the first round because we have none of those. I don't disagree at all that the Bears would have greater needs in the first round than a WR or DHB specifically. I think Ayers or one of the top tackles would probably be their best pick anyway. I just didn't agree with the idea that because Troy Williamson didn't develop that DHB is less likely to develop. i think you've probably agreed with that idea before, concerning some other player, most probably. i could be wrong, though.

Why do you think that? He really doesn't have good hands, and we don't need ANOTHER fast WR who can't catch. Sure he has a lot of potential, but I think it'd be a terrible first round pick when there will surely be better bets at other positions of need available. He's inconsistent catching the football, but I don't think he has bad hands or anything. Everything I've heard says he has decent, but inconsistent hands that should improve with a little time. Given his terrific speed, size, athletic ability and potential, I don't think decent hands are enough to make him a brutal pick. I'd still take a more refined Maclin or Crabtree over him, but if the best OTs and WRs are off the board, I don't see how he'd be a bad pick. Here's three draft sites' analysis of him: this guy has troy williamson written all over him.

Quoted for hilarity and for Truthiness: "Did you know, Jerry, that generations of Chicago kids have grown up not realizing that quarterback ratings go higher than 70.0? You see them in parks and backyards across the region emulating their heroes by throwing wobbly passes and practicing hand-offs." not to nitpick, but that's not what "truthiness" means.

We're just being outplayed by a wide margin here. Refs have little to do with it. seriosuly, 4 fouls on wku, 4. 11 or 12 now on illinois.
-
4 fouls on wku and 11 on illinois. and it's not like they've been hacking them unmercifully.
-
they've just stopped calling fouls in our favor a lonmg time ago. are there any fouls on wku this half? i think illinois has 10 now.
-
seriously, count how many times wku comes down and doesn't score.
-
or, they get called for a foul onthe rebound. either way, they never get the ball back until wku has made a shot.
-
if they miss, they have a 6-5 guy to tap it in.
