Maybe Bears can convince Browns to become an alia in the trade and send Jay to Cleveland where he can help them win much quicker (given their d and existing weapons). Going to guess not but who the heck knows.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) ALL BIDNESS 8-0 DROSE can't buy a bucket Not sure if sarcastic or not but he played strong D thus far and was doing great job being aggressive and leading to offense. This is exactly how I want Rose playing (and the rest of the team for that matter). Hopefully they can keep it up and take the crowd fully out of the game and keep them the hell out of it.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) There is no way they can outbid Chip for that pick so I cant see this one happening. All depends on what the Titans want. Their GM has been quoted as saying their are 16 players worthy of a 1st round grade. If that is the case, than Chip might not be able to offer what the Bears could (whic his still a top 1st round pick). We could also overhaul their offense and include a 1st, Forte, and Cutler. If they want to win now, that offer would be hard to beat (this presumes they still have faith in Jay. I am absolutely okay with that move. Not sure if it is enough or not as it depends on how you value that vs. Cleveland offering up 2 1st (through the Eagles supposedly). I want Marcus!!!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 12:40 PM) Shayne L. Marsaw @wasram · 50m 50 minutes ago According to @RapSheet the @ChicagoBears are in contact with Titans to move up to 2nd overall to draft Mariota. #Bears #2015NFLDraft I really hope this isn't true. I certainly hope we end up talking Mariotta on the Bears. I can get fully behind it. I love his attitude and talent. I have no idea how he will adjust to NFL offenses and it was why I have never been absolutely sold on him, but if Bears brass is, I have zero problem getting behind a guy at QB who is smart, a winner, hard working, and has athleticism and good arm.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) Enjoy the fact that they're one of 16 teams in the playoffs? Cmon now. I admit I've been overly pessimistic about the Bulls since the offseason but I don't see them having a legit shot to go deep. Good...you'll end up with crow on your face. Injuries, etc, this team has played very good basketball against the better teams in the NBA. Is it as good of a team as I expected, no, but it is still the 2nd best team in the East, imo.

Drew Brees was 2nd round.

People, quit b****ing. This is why we have no home court advantage thus far in the playoffs. Enjoy the fact that this squad is there and they have a legit shot at going deep. And stop talking about the Cavs...right now, the Bucks are the matter.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 03:58 PM) I know the odds are against it, but let's not forget that the 2014 winning/2015 losing Super Bowl QB was drafted in the 3rd round. And last years winner and a total stud was drafted in the 6th round.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 12:31 PM) I don't mind the idea of trading away Marty, but there is basically nothing at the TE position after him. I know he wants a new deal, but we've still got him under control for two years at a really reasonable price. Not sure that a 3rd/4th round pick is worth trading away a guy with his skillset at age 28. I think Bennett is an explosive TE. I don't trade him unless we are talking about a 2nd round pick. I doubt we would get that, but if we could, i'm all for it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 03:17 PM) So I kind of need to present my bosses with what I want for them to keep me (forever, to use their words). I can negotiate a lot of things, but Ive never asked for a raise in my life. I dont want to insult them but I definitely want to ask for enough that their first answer is a counter. Any suggestions? If it is forever and you are talking law, I would think everything goes into the partnership and what stake and how it works, how things get paid out, etc. You also have to get a good gauge for your market value (externally) but also be able to realize and understand what you bring to the business / generate too.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 06:26 AM) everything ok? i just got a tablet and was typing on it while taking care of the baby. Apparently what I thought I was typing wasn't what actually made it in. Haha.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 05:04 AM) It looks like they quit listening to Thibs. They don't play defense, and they are soft. They have just let MIL push them around. I don't think they haven't played defense. I think the defense has been fine (outside of Rose stinking it all over the place yesterday). The turnovers have been the absolute achilles heel. Look at how many points the Bucks are getting off of those turnovers and they still are shooting a relatively lousy percentage. Defense has not been an issue one bit. Ball security, ball security, ball security and with that, just overall stagnant offense. Rose plays too passive for too long of stretches, and guys still aren't used to each other. However, this is part of the process and I think if they can get past the Bucks, it will make them stronger.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 07:50 PM) A positive take away is we barely lost the past 2 games despite some bad breaks and Rose playing like s***. If we get the good Derrick in either of the next 2 games and get those makeable shots to fall, we should have no problem moving on to the next round. Way inseenit...this team has consistently played down to its opposition. However ifnthey cant win on road things will be awfully tight at uc in game 7. I actually thinh road game will be gooD for them. This bucks team gets credit f8r the d but bulls have to clean up the stupid passing and hopefully they finish at the hoop and get off to good start and bury bucks from beginning.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 04:50 PM) Mozgov LeBron Jones? Shumpert? Irving Other than Thompson, they have like no depth. Technically Smith is just out for their games where they have home court advantage. And depth becomes far less critical in the playoffs where players get extra rest between games and play more minutes in general (rotations shorten, etc). Also, just cause Love is ruled out now, doesn't mean at some point he comes back sooner. Most teams don't handle things as piss poor as the Bulls when it comes to handling the media and injuries. Just watch Marion or Miller show up with their vet leadership and gritt.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 04:20 PM) Just a good chance? If the Bulls blow this Thibs should be canned (probably will be anyway) immediately and everybody on the roster not named Butler and Mirotic is trade bait (yes, i know Rose is going nowhere). Jordan...stop making hyperbolic comments like this around the Bulls. You are a walking jinx and I don't want that jinx effecting my Bulls!!! And the Cavs have two players better than any Bull, even without Love (Irving and James). Bulls have better depth but Cavs have played fantastic basketball over the last 30 games. I would bet even without Love, the Cavs will open as the favorite (if the bulls win tonight).

If you wanted to get rid of Danks, we should have traded him to the Angels for Josh Hamilton and gobs of money.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 03:31 PM) Agreed, Rose took blame for last game, I expect him to come out firing on all cylinders today! Hopefully he's playing lock down defense and aggressive offense and not just firing long shots like crazy.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 03:15 PM) Kevin Love ruled out for the 2nd round, not sure if that helps Bulls any.. First, lets get to the 2nd round tonight!!!

1st we need to put away the Bucks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) My guess is that Hamilton didn't really want to go anywhere other than Texas. If the Angels picked up a little more of his contract, I could have hired Josh to be my kids nanny. I'd have to put nanny cam on him to ensure he wasn't doing drugs, but with any luck my kid would become a sober version of Josh Hamilton at the plate, haha.

When Reek was staring at the bodies at the beginning of this episode, were those symbolic of his dad and sister or was it just him remember when he killed the fake Stark boys?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:21 AM) Arya is the coolest Stark by far anyway, her story is about to get awesome. I like all the starks, even Sansa who I couldn't stand is starting to get interesting. Ayra is my favorite character on the entire show (along with Jon and Tyrion).

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 04:25 PM) According to reports, the Angels are paying $65 mil of the $80 mil he is owed. Not a bad move for Texas, if he still sucks, it's cheap to get rid of him. $15 million, 3 year lottery ticket. I wish the Sox would have made this deal. Angels have handled this whole thing horrifically.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 07:10 AM) Scherzer complained yesterday about getting hurt while hitting also. It won't be enough to change the NL over IMO, but it's interesting to see more talk about it. Too much money going to pitchers to not have them DH. I'd hate if I were a team and I lost my best pitcher because he was hitting (something that he contributes minimally too in almost all cases). All that said, I am not a fan of the DH but with offense down, it probably would be in the best interest of baseball to add the DH. I do think the DH makes baseball more boring though as it negates a lot of the strategy that comes from double switches, etc.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 09:25 AM) Nope, Brann is confirmed to be absent this entire season Damn you and your spoilers. Spoiler tag. Sheehs. Just kidding, doesn't really ruin anything just says that more of his story is still to come. Don't respond and tell me he just dies and there is no more of his story cause if that is the case, I don't want to know. I keep wondering when the youngest Stark will show up.
