Oklahoma will no longer be a top tier program within 5 years of joining the SEC. Riley's path to a championship is far, far easier at USC than it will be at Oklahoma.

I find that game hard to watch because every year one of those two teams wins.

The Bears last win was 4 hours before the White Sox' last win.

Anybody wanna bet on whether or not the Bears D can stop a 1st and 30?

McCaskey: We're not firing Matt Nagy Bears on Thanksgiving: You sure about that?

Leury was a 2.0 WAR guy this year and I don't have the confidence that Romy is ready to produce at that level yet. Sign Leury for 2 years and give Romy some more time in the minors.

I'm a little bit surprised that we've not heard anything yet about Leury. I thought he would have been a quick sign.

Why does 1901 not count?

Day is an offensive coach. He had a year each with the Eagles and Niners as QB coach. I think he'd be a great get, but I'm not sure why he'd want to leave Ohio State for a job where it's 50/50 whether or not you get fired within 4 years. If you can pry McDaniels out of New England, he'd be my #1 choice.

Yes, it's what our opening day roster would look like if no more moves got made.

Out of the projected opening day roster, not out of the organization.

A little tidbit to brighten your day amongst this gloom - Since Aaron Rodgers can only beat the Bears and not anybody else in the NFC Championship Game, the Packers are now effectively eliminated from Super Bowl contention.

I would not trade either one just for the sake of trading them, but as I've noted before, the current roster has a major redundancy in the right-handed DH category with Abreu/Vaughn/Eloy. There has to be some serious exploration as to whether Vaughn or Eloy can be part of a package that bring back a big time 2B, OF, or SP.

The lineup would be a lot better with Anderson batting 6th.

My ballot: Rodriguez, Schilling, Rolen, Jones, Abreu, Kent, Helton, Buehrle, Rollins, Hudson

Romy won't end up in Oakland because Oakland doesn't massively overvalue him like Soxtalk does.

Yeah I'd say Nantz/Romo are the gold standard for NFL announcing. Not sure how they ended up on a Bears/Ravens game but it was nice to have them.

Nantz/Romo were trying to talk over it but you could still hear it.

Choosing 3rd and 12 over 4th and 2 with that amount of time left is 100% the right call. It's just that the defense is awful. Only 5 quality players on that side of the ball and 3 of them are injured. Firing Nagy won't help if Pace is allowed to pick his successor and be in charge for another offseason.

Left side of the line got the yard Montgomery needed but he cut it back trying to get 10.

Is this what I have to look forward to when I get older? Complaining about the layout of drug stores.

That wasn't really the point though. I've heard of Magic Johnson, and the Miracle on Ice, of course OJ, and other things that came before that. It was more noting that Seles probably doesn't rise to the level of other things mentioned because I've heard of them and not of her.

I'd literally never heard of Monica Seles until you posted this.
