  1. Darvish is perfect through 8 and looking pretty damn dominant.
  2. Cowboys need to upgrade interior line. There's an excellent guard available to do just that. BPA and need fit perfectly here as Cowboys select Jonathan Cooper, OG UNC.
  3. Lillebridge on pace to strike out 324 times.
  4. Assuming JD isn't burning all his best on opening day, I think I'm going to like him.
  5. Can't believe we escaped that with no runs allowed.
  6. Opening Day euphoria lasting less than half inning?
  7. While I'm not all that excited over the contract, it was a deal Dallas had to do. It's the going rate for QB's. The Cowboys needed to reduce his cap number this year and keep him off the market for next season.
  8. Romo got paid. 6 yr 105 million extension. Total is 7 yr 119 million. 55 million guaranteed.
  9. Those prices are kind of ridiculous. I understand the dynamic pricing idea, but in a case like this, it appears stupid.
  10. I'm not going to join, but if it's close to draft time and you need another team to make it happen, send me a msg.
  11. I've found that Walterfootball has some of the worst mocks. He's fun to follow because he updates weekly, but some of his selections are real head scratchers. He also overstates some teams' needs and has teams over drafting because of that and ignores some other draft trends.
  12. I'm going to weigh in on this, and I'm going to try to avoid the hyperbole that's been exhibited from some on both sides. Also, I'm going to fully admit that since I'm a non-Chicagoan Cubs fan, I may not be as knowledgeable or in tune with all the nuances of the Chicago-area fans. The emphasis and priority should be continuing to play at Wrigley. The field is uniquely linked to the franchise, and there's no doubt it is an experience that is unique and has value. However, the supremacy of this option is also linked to the Cubs being able to schedule, market, do what they want with their field, as most other teams can. If that happens to not be the case.... then, the Cubs may have to explore other options. How these other options compare will depend on a variety of factors. The main issue for the Cubs will be profitability away from Wrigley vs profitability at Wrigley, taking into account the limitations that playing at Wrigley contains. While everyone may have a preference, the real question will be how much moving will hurt them as a franchise vs the gains that moving may or may not bring. For example, if the Cubs build a new stadium and field in an area such as Rosemont and also own the parking lots, that could produce a revenue source that may make up for loss of attendance. Also, they could have more luxury suites in such a park. Finally, let me state so no one misunderstands my view. I believe the Cubs should do everything they can to continue to play at Wrigley, but if they continue to be unecessarily limited, then moving may not be a bad option, depending on a lot of other factors, such as how much a suburban area will contribute to a new stadium, how much the Cubs could make at the new stadium in areas other than just ticket sales, etc.
  13. Someone should tell the hacker that no one ever goes to the front page.
  14. I'll take Cowboys again.
  15. By boring everyone else into submission. No reason for you to give away your strategies.
  16. Saints to hire Rob Ryan as DC. http://espn.go.com/nfl/conversations/_/id/8919487/new-orleans-saints-plan-hire-rob-ryan-defensive-coordinator-according-sources
  17. Saints fire DC Steve Spagnuolo. Payton says team switching to a 3-4.
  18. I'm so hoping he ends up drafted by an NFL team I hate so I can make fake dead girlfriend jokes about him for his whole career.
  19. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s480x480/578365_10151350713519154_147850212_n.jpg
  20. Rod Marinelli has been named the Dallas Cowboys' new defensive line coach, the team announced Friday night. Link
  21. YES. And it's awesome again. the gift that keeps on giving!
  22. I just keep thinking about all the fake [expletive] I never got because we didn't have twitter/facebook when I was in college.
