Holy f***...trade down....so many guys on the board that I like for the Bears. Mendy/Thomas/Albert/Williams/Otah.

Carolina probably takes a tackle too. Unless they surprise us and go with Mendenhall. I really don't think they do, but they have had issues with backs staying healthy. Otherwise it looks like the Bears will have one of Otah/Williams/Albert plus Mendenhall & Thomas as options).

Wow, they go CB.

I'm predicting the Bears make a deal with a team moving up to grab Cromartie or McCelvin.

We are all in a chat over on talkbears for anyone interested. Also, here is my take as of now with who will be there when the Bears pick (in fact I'm believing every olineman not named long will be on the board for the Bears pick). http://www.talkchicagosports.com/blog/?p=19

Check out TalkChicagoSports The new front page for the network has launched just in time for the NFL draft. We'll have pieces flowing regarding the Bears selection throughout the day and there is also a Bears and Sox story already active. We will be adding features to the site throughout the next month or two as it gets better established. Please provide us with feedback. Note: The Site does not work with Mozilla [Firefox] (it is a sub-standard browser that blows compared to IE). However, I am working on fixing the issues related to Mozilla and hopefully in a week or so the site will show up properly in Mozilla (and when I say it doesn't work, I mean it looks hideous on Mozilla).

Hey Guys/Gals We are having a MockDraft Contest on TalkBears.com. head over to the site and it is the pinned thread. The winner gets $50 buck gift certificate. Deadline to submit your picks is when the draft officially starts.

Ya, I caught part of Wednesday's game (didn't get off till late). Real fun series as both teams were kind of going back and forth. Both teams had the opportunity to sweep.

Animal House Blues Brothers Fast Times at Ridgemont High Trading Places Coming to America My god, how can you not love those two classics. So many great moments in both of the movies. Especially Coming to America. I'm kicking myself for not sending in a list.

That is stupid that the Rams can't negotiate.

I certainly wouldn't have used a knife. Maybe a f***ing sword but no god damn way would I have gotten that close to a freaking rattler (I have actually been hiking and had one pop up right in front of me (and when I say right in front of me, I mean like inches from my f***ing body). Luckily it continued on its marry weigh. That same trip I also had one strike at me, thank god it didn't get close enough and I hightailed the f*** out of the way.

Are they going to do a new version for 2007 where they follow a different team?

Player A is Willie Harris and Player B is Jerry Owens

Steel Reserve...case closed.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 10:01 AM) You did get older this Birthday right? Yep. The key is at some point in the year and for most of the year be in the best shape of my life at the ripe age of 25 and than continue that on for a long long time (I have plans of living an infinite life time cause I freaking love everyday of life).

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 10:01 AM) That really makes no sense from the Dodgers' perspective. I know Ned Colletti has a history of favoring vets over youth but James Loney might be a more productive player than Paul Konerko right now at the age of 24 and Matt Kemp should be untouchable (and likely is.) Loney is better than Paulie, but the Dodgers could slide Loney to the OF with Ethier and Jones and go with Konerko. Colletti has a preference for veterans and is still looking for the extra pop in the lineup that the Dodgers need. Plus, Kemp has had a bit of a falling out recently (he obviously had a falling out last year with some in the organization as well, although it was related to Kent who is pretty much thought of poorly (regarding clubhouse interactions) around most of baseball). Basically put, I completely agree with you that this might not be the fairest trade idea. Hell, if the Sox could sign Crede I would also contemplate moving Fields for Kemp (again, this would be a poor value deal for the Dodgers as Kemp is a better prospect but Fields fills a bigger need position). I think there are some match-ups between the two teams to make a deal that could help both teams in the short and long-term. The question is what other pieces go because I completely agree Kemp is more valuable than either Fields or Paulie straight up. That said there is something to be said for a player needing a change of scenario and it hasn't gotten near that bad with Kemp but there are at least a few in the org that have soured on him (not relating to performance of course).

Cough...Konerko for Kemp, Swisher moves to 1B, Kemp plays CF.

Slav...you inspired me on my next halloween costume. I'm going to dress up as a bottle of Jaegermeister...but instead go as.......Gagermeister!!!

I'd pass gas...it is a true talent of mine.

Thanks for the Bday wishes everyone. I'm going to have a sober night tonight (lousy 12 hour work day in front of me), but I will be absolutely ripped this weekend. Hopefully I'm not posting in the drunk thread though, well at least not until the next morning. It feels weird, but I'm now 25....goal for the year...buy my own house.

I would not be shocked if the Sox had Uribe/Crede/Koneko/Contreras all come off the books at the end of this season. Konerko is the only potential long shot. But I really believe if the Sox have a real strong season they consider resigning Joe, but would be comfortable going with Josh and than spending money to upgrade SS (or resign OC) and would hopefully have faith in Floyd/Danks to the point that they could opt with a different starting pitcher (whether via FA or in-house...ie Egbert/Broadway). They would obviously be taking a chance, but even without Paulie, if you upgrade at other places you could still have a tremendous offense while continuing to make the team younger and put yourself in a good position for an extended run. Again, I'm saying that could happen if things go well this year (ie, make the playoffs because Floyd/Danks pitch pretty strong and have Richar develop with Paulie/Crede having solid seasons but the Sox opting for draft picks with Crede and than swinging Paulie in a deal which enables the club to get younger and more balanced while also clearing up plenty of money to give Bobby Jenks an extension and sign someone like Furcal while also picking up a younger first baseman (thus at that point Buehrle/Vaz/MacDougall/Dotel/Linebrink/Thome/Dye are your only older players and honestly that isn't that bad as only Thome is really really old).

Thin Crust >>> Deep Dish....there I said it.

Wow...Jeff with 1000 posts. Congrats buddy...you are slowly becoming as big of a loser as me

QUOTE (Steff @ Apr 21, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) Kenny. Time and time and time again. Kenny just couldn't handle the fact that Frank got JR's undivided attention over him. I was going to guess Royce "The Choice" Clayton
