I'm sure there's some benefit to this, but damned if I know what it is at this point. The roster spots. If the Bears win the Vikings are guaranteed to pick 2nd or 3rd in the draft. With a win, the Vikings likely fall to 6. I hate this.
-
They might need a RB with that pick now. Having Peterson and Ponder both get hurt while somehow still winning was about as bad as it gets.
-
Agreed. I think this is a huge tactical error that many, many coaches make. As you said, best-case scenario is still pretty crappy. Generally I agree with both of you, but I do think there are some variables (opponent free throw shooting, strength of your defense, etc.) that can make it worthwhile in many instances.
-
The Vikings just need two more losses and a Colts win against the Jags to get the #1 pick. Please don't beat the Redskins.
-
Nice.
-
The shot of the bench after the Bickell goal at the end was funny. Basically "Cool. Now can we finish and get on our vacation?"
-
Yeah good to see Stalberg get on the board again tonight, he takes too much criticism. Craw had some really nice moments tonight all things considered.

a couple weeks ago, i saw a commercial for a local sports bar place in iowa city and it had a hayden fry impersonator. it was incredible. he ate a lot of chicken wings and watched the many flat screen tvs showing ALL the games. Do you remember the place? I want to go to there. I'm going there before the basketball game tomorrow night if I can figure out where it is.

SCH would explode. The Committed Indian for Sunday night's game was full of wishing for Iginla.
-
Of course. The [expletive] astrophysics major whose goal is to work for NASA and is supposed to be the squeaky clean guy. The problems and attrition of Iowa RB's over the last decade is just incredible.

Re: Darvish

Make it stop... -
That was a fun game last night outside of Calgary's goonery. Scott looks even worse in person.
-
It's not that meaningful but is this team a President's Trophy type team? They're winning and getting the points which is what matters, but they're also in 1-goal games almost every night.
-
I don't know of anyone who dislikes Doc Emery. I don't get the hatred for Pierre that hockey fans seem to have though. He's annoying at times but doesn't really bother me. I also agree about NBC/Versus stepping up their game, just wish they could get wider distribution in hotels.

His wife may not be completely crazy, but she is extremely annoying and dumb. I think there's some crazy in there also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExhURC8iVqA

Tigers sign Prince - 9/214 - Heyman

I agree with almost everything jersey is saying and I really hope TT is right about the Darvish/Fielder angle. -
In news no one else cares about... Going to the Calgary game on Sunday night, pretty pumped. The only other Blackhawks game I've attended was the 2-0 loss to the Lightning last April. This should have a better result.

He's the man.

Hell 84 games could be enough to win the division next year. Let's get this tubby bastard signed. -

Whatever. I'm already making plans to attend the "world's most cost-effective team" parade next year. The goal IS to put the best team you can out on the field each and every year. But, doing it at the expense of the future is stupid. Theo's not stupid. Nor have we missed out on ANYONE that can help both "in the now" and "in the future". If we miss out on Fielder, Darvish, and Cespedes, then I'll raise an eyebrow, but even then, we can still field a team capable of winning a very weakened division, such as ours is going to be. "At the expense of the future" is an obvious strawman argument. No one is asking to completely mortgage the future for next year. That doesn't mean you don't try to win next year, and, to this point, the Cubs are a worse team than their crappy 2011 team. Regardless, signing marquee free agents always -- always -- comes with such risk. To sign the best, you generally have to live with overpayment at the tail end of the deal. That's life as a big boy club. Well said. -
Beckman sounded like a more Brewstery version of Tim Brewster.
-
Not a big fan of the name Ian.
-
Yeah, what a shitty deal for the Lakers. All they got was Paul and didn't even get to take on any shitty contracts. Damn.
-
Self-bump to point out to no one... Iowa shot 43 twos, 12 threes and got 9 FT's. UNI shot 23 twos, 21 threes and got 33 FT's.

Never seen anything like the Iowa-UNI game tonight. It was a 2 point game midway through the second half when the officials lost control, went crazy and called 4 technicals on Iowa in about 3-4 minutes. Included in that was a foul on Gatens when Iowa had the ball running in transition and his feet got tangled up with the UNI dude as they both went to the floor.
