QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ May 2, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) To who though? Is there are a requirement that Yahoo has to buy them back? Or is she selling them on the open market? She'd sell them on the open market. In this case, if the company had a change of ownership, all of the options would be expensed at her books and she can do what she'd like with them. I don't know how the $50+M figure was calculated and clearly if the stock was in the tubes at the time and that value is based upon a current valuation, than the real world equation vs. actual cost could differ. What goes into the calcs and models to get to the value and expense figure is more complex but there is a real cost to that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 2, 2016 -> 02:31 PM) It sounds like such a big number. The reality is that the real cost to the company is $3 million +. The stock options don't actually cost them anything. Those are all real financial statement expenses which ultimately impact the company and thus the shareholders. Those are accelerated options that she is granted, real money. She could choose to exit at that point and sell everything and get paid (depending on what the estimated $52M valuation was). That isn't some funny number. It is just as much the equivalent of cash and is something that absolutely will impact the financial statements of yahoo, reduce equity, etc.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 04:53 PM) Holy crap bears got three picks? 2 extra picks (one 4th this year and one 4th next year).

Wow. So we got our 4th back and than some. Nice.

Bears trade down.

CB it is.

Presume dolphins are moving up to take Bama RB (presume he's pretty high on the Bears board too).

Damn Chiefs took one of the ideal targets for the Bears.

Jaylon Smith to the Boys.

Alright boys...lets have a strong night!!!

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 12:07 PM) Gage sucks guys, don't know why you all think he is better than Hawk. f*** you. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the compliments from everyone on here. That said, I haven't quite figured out how any of you have watched me give my game commentary alongside stoney from the couch? Damn you all for hacking into our video baby monitor!!!

http://bearswire.usatoday.com/2016/04/29/b...r-jalen-ramsey/ Evidently we tried to move up to grab Ramsey (I would have been elated if we grabbed him). I heard him interviewed during last nights draft and it only made me further like Ramsey.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) Btw. Why did the Bears trade up? Giants wanted Floyd. Bears ruined their first round plans.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) Keeping falling Bell I think he's going to be a quality safety. Would fit nicely on the Bears.

I'm a huge fan of the Cards pick.

I really liked Lynch. I wonder if Bears would look at Jack or Ndkemiche in the 2nd round. I'm going to presume someone will move up for Jack tomorrow. I'd also presume Bears would be all over Ashawhn Robinson if he's on the board in the 2nd. Von Bell is another guy I'd be on board with. Bottom line, we'll have to see how a few other teams do, but I like our chances right now in the 2nd round.

It has to be Ramsey.

That is messed up. I hadn't saw that yet Kalapse. Elliot is gone. If Buckner or Ramsey fell, that would be amazing.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 05:33 PM) Probably going to be there at #11 now. One of him and Stanley will be there. I don't think both the Giants and Ravens pass on a tackle though and he's going to be the first off the board, I'd think.

Who expected Bosa. What do the Boys do? Do they go Buckner / Ramsey / Elliot?

I wonder if based upon that medical news, Myles doesn't end up dropping all the way into the 2nd round. That type of info could really send him tumbling.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) *Man loses father* Fan response: S***! We have to use a nother player for 3 days. UGHGHG. I hope he gets some family time. Seriously. This was my absolute first thought when reading this thread (about how uncompassionate some people are). Baseball players are people first. Condolences to the Robertson family.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 11:09 AM) Greg Gabriel just said on the score that he probably wont get to his second NFL contract. It is real, those knees arent gonna last long http://nypost.com/2016/04/27/myles-jack-ri...about-his-knee/ from the horses mouth I stand corrected. So the fake report that got blasted a week or two ago evidently wasn't fake.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 11:00 AM) I hope Jack isnt still on the board at 11, that guys knees are scary That was a bogus medical report. No one has had a bad thing to say about his knees (supposedly).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 10:59 AM) The defense got a lot better as the season went on last year, even besides the player changes, guys like Eaton, Alexei, and Cabrera got better as the season went on. There were pretty significant player changes last year as well (3B and 2B were significantly upgraded with Saladino and Sanchez vs. Grumpybutt and Micah Johnson). Alexei had a historical track record of being solid and eventually got back there (as you'd expect). Eaton, similarly, made progress. Yes, it can slump, but I tend to think defense is far more consistent than offense.
