Coach C

He's been making pretty good decisions.

I like the fact that Hanie can smartly throw it away, and try again.

Converted a critical 4th down play.

If the Bears somehow win this game, the MVP should be the whole defense.

I understand that it was a grey area, but the players need to understand that, intentional or not, you just cannot lead with your helemt, period. Don't want to get penalized and fined? Hit lower next time.

That's a touchback.

Right through the guy's hand. Bears get another oppiturnity.

Might need him in the SUPER BOWL Phhht, he'll mentally check out, like he did today.

Kicking a 45 yard FG in a 10-15 degree weather is not even an option, unless it is a last resort/attempt to tie/win the game. Lovie should had gone for em, instead of punting. I never believed in punting if you're in the opponent's 30-35 yard line.

Win or lose, Cutler should be placed on waivers tomorrow.

FWIW, the 5th year is a club option.

20 years (out of 22) with the Cubs. .292 BA .371 OBP .416 SLG .787 OPS 118 OPS+ 92 HR's 896 RBI's.

I'll be at Toon's bar (Chicago's Chiefs bar) wearing #58, keep warm. Good to see you on here Gar. Been awhile. I hope everything is going well for you. Yeah, it's going to be pretty chilly tomorrow. Just hope that the winds won't be outragous, which they're saying just 10 mph, so if that's the case, I'll survive.

Ahhhhh NFL Playoff weekend. How I missed thee. What I even missed more is that KC is hosting a playoff game. It's been since 2003 season that KC last hosted a playoff game at Arrowhead. I know KC doesn't have a very good track record of playoff victories (last win was in 1993), but, considering that this was a franchise that won 10 games in the previous 3 years, I'd gladly take a playoff oppiturnity, even if we lose. Not to mention that KC, by most accounts, is a very young team. With Scott Pioli and Todd Haley, I feel that KC is a team that is going to be on the rise and a force to be reckoned with, but time will tell. With that being said, I am going to the playoff game this Sunday, section 109, Row 5, endzone seats. It's gonna be cold, but damn well worth it. Hopefully they'll finally get us a win. If not, well, at least we can move forward in the future, fully knowing that this team is a young team, not a team that was plagued with old veteran team (see 2006 as reference).

Oh believe me, I do want to upload them. The issue here is that the "free" websites that I have checked out, were garbage, for the most part. I got a good one. PM me your email address and I'll invite you. Dropbox? If so, just way ahead of you. Heh. Don't worry about the e-mail and password, I created both of them just for this purpose. The link: http://www.dropbox.com Email: gizmo_89@hotmail.com password: Wrigley Yes, make sure the w is a W when putting in "Wrigley" as a password.

YouTube? I suppose that's worth a try. Didn't realize it that you can do it that way too as well (audio). Thanks for the heads up, will see if I can get it to work.

What would be a great website to sign up for free to upload free audio clips? I got around cleaning the basement of my home, and happened to stumble into my CD booklet, that has some of my CD's that I kept since my HS days, and I also noticed that I have those Cubs CD's that I downloaded from JonMDavis website many years ago, for my listening pleasure when I was on the road. There are about 100 of audio, give or take. It's been awhile since I actually listened to em, and man, still remember them like as if it was yesterday. I miss Ronnie already.

In the offseason it's a lot easier to deal him contingent on an extension with the new team, raising the return by a ton. Wouldn't on the other hand, possibly increase the return value in June/July by the trade deadline though than in the off-season? Assuming one team is desperate enough, that is.

Feb. 5th is my birthday. In Feb. 5, 1934, Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron was born. Don't think anything could top that.

KC will suck in 2011, they just hope for sub-90 losses and look forward to their gigantic mountain of prospects to graduate to AAA and KC. In 2012, if a disaster doesn't happen and they at least have half of their top-flight prospects make it, I'd think they expect a 0.500 team as they figure out how to play in the majors. (if everything breaks their way, every prospect is a star, etc maybe they compete in 2012. Thats what the Royals are trying to sell, but I'm just speculating.) In 2013 and 2014 they need to be winning. If they have 4 losing seasons from 2011 through the end of 2014, with the #1 minor league system in all of baseball, and an all-time record in number of players sent to represent USA Baseball (6), that would be a devastating disappointment. So I think they are probably looking for AA to AAA players who can join in with the number #1 minor league system that would be MLB ready in 2012-2013. http://www.kansascity.com/2010/10/03/2272981/the-2010-royals-a-collection-of.html#ixzz11V6Lv2NF

It would be a lot easier of a decison if theyd take someone like JJax, Carpenter, or Coleman instead of Archer, but thats pretty much the type of package that youd have to give up for a guy like Greinke unless its a salary dump or they were trying to rush him out of town, but neithers thst case. With such a package however, we should be able to get Alex Gordon as well if we were to throw in another smaller piece. How would it not be a salary dump? He's going from 7Mil to 13.5Mil. Nobody else on the team will make more than 4Mil. Oh and Alex Gordon has no value. He's a 3B turned OF, who hasn't shown he can hit well enough to be valuable at either position. His minor league numbers have not translated and next year will be his 5th year in the majors and he will now be at the age where he doesn't have a lot of time to figure it out (27). Absolutely agree on Alex Gordon, and I might also add in that he's a injury riddled guy who likes to talk out of his flaming a**. Every season, not to my surprise, there is always an Alex Gordon article about how he wants to improve and gonna dominate, only to translate a .210 batting average, 1 HR, 3 RBI's before landing on the DL with a phantom injury, and abiding his time in the minors throughout June to August, and be back in time in September call-ups, which coincidentally I might add, that scrubs/AAA/AA minor leaguers players get called up, and his numbers looks a little "better" somehow. Alex Gordon is trash, to sum it up.

And down goes the Gooners.
