  1. Brandon Paul shouldnt even see the floor at this point. He is a turnover machine
  2. Yes. Its been horrible. You are a foot taller than him Tisdale just hold your [expletive] ground idiot
  3. Nice [expletive] start Illinois
  4. 2 possessions 2 turnovers for Illinois. They really need to get this problem solved quickly
  5. Yeah, that guy just looks like a complete clown. I think its CarrotTops long lost son... Oh and nice choke job Wiscy. Up 9 with little over 2 left and let Mich St tie it up
  6. Wait, so the sky isn't falling now?
  7. Post-concussion Cutler is the biggest, but those two mattered as well. I would have preferred to face New Orleans in Chicago again, but I think the Bears show up and impress this weekend. Also it was Chris Williams 1st game at guard and Roberto Garza didn't play either. Basically what I'm saying is that game really means nothing. This is still a 7-9 team from the worst division in football going on the road. It shouldn't be close
  8. Something to remember about the 1st Bears-Seahawks game. Seahawks were coming off a bye and had 2 weeks to prepare for one, also Lance Briggs didn't play either. 2 pretty important factors about that 1st game in my opinion.
  9. Great non call on that deep pass. Noway that was PI
  10. Completely idiotic to not run a freakin QB sneak. Ignorant
  11. Golden Domer not golden gopher I believe is what he's saying.
  12. Nah, I wrote that for 2012. I'd expect this upcoming year he'll be in the 6-6.5 range. Ahh ok yea 6 mil or so is what I'm expecting also.
  13. I'd be shocked if Garza got 10mil in arbitration this year. He made what 3 something last year? Noway he gets 10 mil in arbitration.
  14. The biggest problem I have with this trade, as I said earlier, is that Garza pretty much has to reach that potential for this trade to make sense. We didn't have a need in the rotation and Garza hasn't been a top of the rotation pitcher to this point. He'll cost upward of $5-6 mil this year and more after that. His xFIP doesn't indicate a pitcher on the verge of being a top of the rotation pitcher, but he'll have to be to keep us from having overpaid. And if I'm trading primarily for potential, overpaying doesn't make sense. Dew, I think you're overrating xFIP given Garza's ability to outperform it on an annual basis. Similar to when a hitter typically hits for a high BABIP, after awhile it becomes the norm. Minus HRs, he'll improve his stats. how can we be sure that Garza outperforming his xFIP wasn't due to Tampa Bay's super awesome defense? Garza allowed the 6th most flyballs in the Majors I believe last year not sure how much defense can be accredited to his numbers given that.

And like Fangraphs said if a guy consistenly outperforms his xFIP 3 years in a row, sooner or later you have to credit it as a skill for that pitcher.
  16. He actually said this team doesn't have a lot of talent? That's not something you normally hear from GMs. In about a 2 minute period he said they lacked talent, but then went on to say they are the most talented team from top to bottom that the Bears have had under his watch. Basically he was just talking like most GM's do and saying nothing of importance.
  17. So we know the guys we gave up, but we dont know who the minor league pitcher or OF'er is we are also getting along with Garza?
  18. Dexter better never give eric316 [expletive] in a cubs gamethread again lol. Following on here I thought the Bulls were getting blown out only to see us down 2 with 14 second left.
  19. Didn't see the game but going off stats, was this Asiks best game as a Bull? Awfully nice stat line for him tonight.
  20. He's been quoted saying hed have no problem being moved to DH/utility for Beltre.
  21. Seriously. Eat crow because he led them to a steller 7-9 record? That's hilarious
  22. This doesn't relate to the playoff game or anything but with the talk of how bad our WR's are. Any interest in TO in the offseason? He was productive for Cincy and didn't cause any problems that I can remember. Yes, no, hell no?
  23. Bout time they called it
  24. Ok pull Cutler now! No more of that!
  25. Taylor with his biggest gain all year
