    Yeah, that's pretty much exactly how I feel. Brees was also a bit off this year and I don't know if that is a combination of poor line play or the fact that he is getting older. I think it's probably both. I hate to say it but I think our window with Brees is very close to closing. That's what pisses me off so much about the BountyGate garbage. It took a prime year away from our Brees window. I don't know if it was Graham acting out because he was pissed about being franchised or what, but his effort this year definitely sucked. You didn't see the same emotion from him this year that you had seen in the past. Could it be that after Graham got paid, he lost his hunger? It wouldn't be the first time that has happened with a player.

    Not trying to troll you here, but I don't see where the ball itself crosses the plane. I see it in his right arm, but I don't see it on that yellow line or beyond it. I suppose if we made his hand invisible I might; is that what the argument is? Look at the Atlanta defenders hand. It is on the tip of the ball (because he was about a second away from stripping it). That's across the plane. It's a bit of a blurred image because what you are thinking is the ball has a black line across it and is actually the right arm of the defender that is below Graham. While I see your point, from that view it isn't certain that the ball crosses the goal line. I cannot clearly see the ball cross, even if I think it does. Since the play was called a fumble on the field, the call stands- which means there isn't enough to overturn. I could care less who wins between Saints and Falcons, but I think, while the refs may have missed the call on the field, once it was called a fumble, the replay got it right in the way the rule is stated.

    Michael Silver ‏@MikeSilver 8m8 minutes ago What I just said on @nflnetwork : Bears offensive players believe Clausen will 'light it up,' simply because he'll run offense as prescribed

    @SportsCenter: Jimmy Clausen has appeared in 16 games, his teams are 1-15 in those games.

    So, would you guys trade Culter for RG3? Looks like both will be playing for different teams next season...though I'm not sure either should be. I'd keep both and get rid of the coaches.
  8. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Non Bears fan asking the question.... but with Cutler's salary guaranteed for next year, I don't understand this play. Cutting Cutler would be a salary gap disaster, so does this mean they trade him? Is this just a move for the end of the year? Why? This is more baffling than the Redskins and the RG3 snafu.

    FOX Sports NFL ‏@NFLonFOX 2m2 minutes ago Report: Jimmy Clausen to start for the Bears in Week 16 over Jay Cutler. (via @AdamSchefter)

    This needs to be on the front page.

    I can only speak for myself but I'm only messing around. Granted I don't particularly like the dodgers but happy to have any fans here talking baseball, didn't mean to drive you off Haha it's all good man. I am too. I never intended on being a regular here but I'm not here to troll either. There hasn't been an active Dodgers forum in years. I thought we could talk in peace since both of our teams dominated the winter meetings. I was genuinely happy that you guys got Lester. Whatever happened to DodgerBlues forum?

    who was it that had the irrational hate for Todd Walker?
  15. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Yeah, it could be done with this team. DE- Houston NT- Paea/Ferguson DE- Ratliff/Sutton OLB- Young/Allen ILB- Bostic ILB- Jones OLB- Draft pick (1st round likely)/McClellin You'd still need to pick up an ILB like you need to stay 4-3. You'd still need at least 1 really good S and a CB. And that OLB draft pick has to be really good to make the 3-4 work. Just adding this in- in Phillips 3-4 in Dallas, Ratliff was his NT.

    Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 1m1 minute ago Full trade: Josh Donaldson to Blue Jays, A's get Brett Lawrie, pitchers Kendall Graveman and Sean Nolin, SS Franklin Barreto. Deal done.

    I'm waiting for some middle schooler to chime in on this before I know what to believe.
  18. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I would guess it's a deal with the Red Sox.

    What's his going rate for cocaine these days? He's been clean for quite a few years.

    I'm busy enjoying football season. Someone let me know when the Cubs do something exciting.

    My problem with the Peterson suspension isn't that I in any way condone what Peterson did. It's atrocious. But, in this instance, and in a bunch of others, Goodell just makes [expletive] up as he goes along. I really think discipline should be taken out of his hands, because he'll ignore a bunch of [expletive] and then suddenly go all Wyatt Earp and throw down the law...but he's just making it up as he goes with no consistency or plan. He acts like a teacher who when he starts to lose control, goes ballistic and throws a student out of class, fails him for the year, just so he can look like a badass. I really want this to go in Peterson's favor in court just so it's another blemish on Goodell.

    If the cable goes out in your apartment, just deduct the $50 you spent on chili from your rent.
