Stinky Stanky

Or the lazy coach has to recognize this and go in a different direction at crunch time. Like draw up a play or two.

I have your back on this one, Lip. One stupid remark does not warrant the death penalty, IMO. Not while others in the public eye can say hurtful things and continue to work in their chosen field. I would welcome Thom and think the negatives could be handled and would quickly fade.

Not that I think he's a top guy, but Fields didn't have the time to make plays that Love did. Got whupped both sides of the ball. Still, can't say he hasn't improved, but three seasons is a long time. You decide what they should do. I'm too old to worry about it. Anyhoo, saw some great young QB's today, but our guy isn't one of them.

I love Coby, but since people started calling him a superstar, he's lost his radar and become a turnover machine. Take a deep breath and steady yourself, kid. Let's all do the same.

Seven pages into this beatdown fest and I need cat videos for at least an hour.

Ed Wood in the dugout to replace Pedro. Just might work. Too bad Kasper wants radio only. He’s better at TV, IMO.

Made himself better. Like Jimmy Butler, like Joakim Noah. Do the coaches on staff ever make players better? He's still not a great point guard even if he shoots from Trae distances.

Better fit on a contending team than here. More power to him.

He was a shopping center developer and we could have seen him sell off players to pay the gas bills when all those shopping centers went bad (like most of them have).?

Doesn’t change anything in my first post. He was a better GM than anything since regardless of his attitude toward the owner or anyone else. I’m out of here.

He acquired a lot of good and better pieces by draft and otherwise to fit around the GOAT he was handed. I respect what he did. Does it matter that he got along with JR? Would you be happier if he didn't? Do you know of any GM's who don't?

If all Krause did was say "yes" to JR's whims, what else would I conclude? Do you say no to your boss a lot? There's such a thing as carrying the cynicism too far.

Are you saying that Reinsdorf scouts, drafts and trades? Seriously?

Jerry Krause is looking less and less like an object of ridicule and more and more like a GM considering what's been trying to do the job since he departed.

Like that great line from A Christmas Story, "Got a whole goddam team of utility infielders." But if you watch the TBS version, it's been cut out. Merry Christmas.

Either way, he went from our gascan to NL whiz when he went to the other league. Anyone remember which old Sox GM always tried to get two for one when he traded a player? Was that Frank Lane or Hemond? Five for one sounds like a winner if that's how these things are graded. Anyone r

Think Juan Agosto.

Bears may have been boring Thursday night, but NU and Illinois were anything but boring today. Two nice wins for the local guys.

As they say in matters of taste, it's a matter of taste. Joe McConnell for my 2 cents, "Old Timer."

And not getting that much playing time because there are better players at his position on the team.

Been seeing this for 25 years. It's gotta be on target sometime, right? Law of Averages don'tcha know..

Rational and welcome. A petunia in an onion patch.

Larrivee was a Packers fan. Rooney was a Cardinals fan. They both wanted to go where their hearts were. Ain't love great?

That Halas story was very informative. I wouldn't call the author unbiased, but if the shoe fits...
