QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 03:47 PM) In the past 8 seasons, the Bears have won 55% of their games, three division titles, and one conference title, all while having a terrible GM and subpar coaches. They did it all with players who were overvalued in the draft, yet magically taught themselves to become outstanding players. Makes no sense. Not a high bar but Lovie is easily the best coach we have had since Ditka and the only guy I would think of replacing him with is Cowher. Do people forget Wanny and Jauron? Each coach had like 1 good season and nothing else. Lovie consistently has this team competing. He makes in game decisions that make you shake your head like EVERY coach. Lovie has had 3 seasons under .500 and two of them were at 7-9.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 02:06 PM) Binder? Assuming it is a Boras made brochure like form he shows teams to sell the player to an owner. I remember first hearing he did that in 01 with ARod

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 4, 2012 -> 07:29 PM) I just don't understand how a team full of D1 talent cannot get the ball to the post. They refuse to throw the ball in, despite Leonard's clear size advantage. If I were Weber I would threaten the bench if Leonard doesn't get a touch in the post on EACH possession. Bertrand plays like he hates Leonard.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 4, 2012 -> 08:10 AM) Omer had a fine game, but until he learns to watch his backside teams are going to continue to alley-oop on his ass at will. I could be wrong but actually though Taj was getting ooped on. Asik has hands of stone and no excuse to miss that put back in the 4th. Wish he would just grab, set, dunk.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 3, 2012 -> 11:39 AM) Dude, Lovie wasn't canned, so that choice is obvious. Also, anything McCaskey. I'd love it if they hired McKenzie. I am a Lovie supporter but if the team underachieves next year, he will have to take the blame. This stuff happens when you lose both your #1 QB and #1 RB. I thought Barber was a fine back up until the Denver game. They didn't know what Hanie was yet and you know if they didn't bring him back as the back up, fans over the city would have been pissed because Chicago has always been obsessed with back up QBs.

Keep Miami in half court and take away fast breaks like Atlanta did and you can beat them.

Official Squared Circle Thread
QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 3, 2012 -> 02:03 AM) I've decided that Jericho return was was brilliant. I hope he does the exact same thing next week. Possibly a third if the fans still are not booing him hard enough. Agreed. New twist on how to bring him back since the Save Us reveal was predictable and kinda flat.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 01:26 PM) No, he decided he was better than John Lennon and could write a better song, so he changed the "No Religion Too" line to "and all religions are true". Because he has earned the right to correct John Lennon. Clearly that's a mistake anyway, Lennon can't possibly have meant it. That is borderline criminal.

I see the Packers are resting Rodgers, Clay, Jennings, and Woodson. I understand why they are doing that but I would at least play them for a quarter or a half. 2 weeks of no actual games could create rust, IMO. Guess there is a reason I am not an NFL coach.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 04:36 PM) Dear god do I hope you're right. The Illini can't score a bucket in forever and are down by 23 and Weber still refuses to at least try Henry. The guy is supposed to be the team's best natural scorer. At least get the guy some minutes. Have people really said that? Eek. Illini fans need to set their expectation meter to REALISTIC

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 01:49 PM) What happened? Not in front of a TV, GameCast shows Gasser essentially had a 6-point play? Didn't matter but Iowa was up 12 with like 3 minutes left than Basabe committed a foul, than elbowed the kid to get T'd. Kid made 4 free throws than Wisc scored quick so Badgers scored 6 points with about 5 seconds coming off clock. Wisc got within 3 but Iowa made some big shots to hold on.
