QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 22, 2010 -> 08:37 AM) Baron is the 3rd most unmovable contract right next to Luol Deng and Elton Brand in the NBA. You're not going to get any pieces for him. Kaman can net you something, but then you better hope DeAndre develops quickly which it doesn't look like he will. This is so laughable. Baron Davis and Elton Brand are worthless, while Luol Deng is a 20 ppg, 6 rpg, 3 apg player who will play solid defense and shoot a pretty good field goal percentage. Your hate of all things Deng is ridiculous. And yes, Deng has a big contract, but please don't compare him to Brand/Davis.

I hadn't read the book, but as always thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I liked this more than the last Harry Potter, which coincidentally was the one I liked the least.

Wow, Iowa beat Alabama. Bahahaaa. I will say that for every team Iowa beats this year.

Coker looked good all game, I wish we would have seen more of him.

SHould have been. Either way, Iowa would have f***ed it up. They proved it this year, that they weren't able to close out games and do the little things to win. 4 losses when they had leads in the final 2:30 minutes.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 03:24 PM) Looked like he snuck his foot in I thought the ball moved though. But either way you got to play D and Iowa didn't there. Stanzi, make yourself an Iowa legend here.

So, Iowa is gonna totally have 4 losses all with there vaunted defense giving up late TD's. f***ing sad.

Wow, surprised that call stood.

Oh and Iowa's special teams (outside of its punter) is f***ing horrendous.

OSU wideout bobbles the ball when he hits, so I would like to think that will get overturned.

OSU just dropped a go ahead touchdown. Lucky for them Prior is putting this team on his back and just converted a 4th down against my Hawkeyes. Come on Iowa. f***, Iowa is gonna have to go down the field and do something. That missed field goal will probably cost em. Play being challenged.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 01:55 PM) Players in their walk years tend to produce. That has been statistically proven to be a myth.

I'd be pissed if I was a player who dove and broke my kneck because i hit the ivy bricks.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 01:11 AM) Goddamn Fringe has been unbelievably awesome this season. It's totally rewarding the people who have watched it this far. Hells yes

Beautiful, win #7 on the season and #700 for the franchise!!! One of the most relaxing Bears games I've watched in years.

Beautiful first down slant to Knox by Jay.

QUOTE (T R U @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 08:06 PM) worthless, if I had thought Thigpen was gonna be this bad I wouldn't have even said anything.. Why didn't they try to run though? They were dropping and passing quite a bit even though the game was within a score for the whole first half. Thigpen was awful, Bears defense has been great, but for a team that can run like Miami I'm surprised they didn't try to hide/protect Thigpen a hell of a lot more.

I don't know what happened this year, but Manning is a whole different football player. By and large he's played very very well.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 07:48 PM) Probably, but we have the talent to force him into turnovers. He hasn't had to deal with that at all this season. lets first finish things off in this game. We'll have plenty of time to talk about the next game (and disect and hopefully enjoy this one) over the next 10 days.

Lets get the kill on this drive Bears!!!

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 07:11 PM) Frankly, I'm not really sure we need to. Knock on wood. Momentum is only as good as one play. I'll take all the points we can get.

Damn, that was some leg by Gould there. He could have hit from close to 60 on that one.

Cutler was in 2nd and long, had pressure, less than 2 minutes and in Dolphins territory and figured he might as well try something. It wasn't smart but I had a feeling he was going to gamble in that situation. That was a very costly holding penalty on Webb. That said, we've pretty much dominated. The scary thing is we are a TD away from losing.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 09:18 AM) It makes me angry that every fan, every columnist, every expert, every single f***ing person on this planet knew that Vinny Del Negro was a horrendous candidate and possible hire for the job... except for John Paxson and Jerry Reinsdorf. There was no gameplan. It was f***ing inexcusable. So yeah, Thibbs is a quality NBA head coach, and I'm happy that Derrick Rose is being let off the leash and Thibbs knows what he's working with... The Bulls were taking a chance on a charasmatic guy who was a well respected player. They even admitted it during press conferences and they were hoping his personality and fresh stance and communication skills would work while he learned to coach. That is part of why he got the short term deal for a 1st year head coach. It didn't work but I can't blame them for what they tried. And Del Negro did do some good things giving the younger players more leeway. However, he just wasn't a good coach and the assistants we brought in I think new it and it caused a lot of issues because Del Negro wouldn't call sets and they wanted to call sets.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 09:34 AM) FWIW, Bruce Levine is saying the Sox are not shopping Quentin. I don't know if that means anything. I would assume that Quentin would be on his way to another team if the right offer came along. It really doesn't make sense to move him. We'd be selling low. In those instances I can see why it could make sense to move Floyd, but if you deal him you better have plans to find another starting pitcher and you better be prepared to lock up Danks. In fact, with Buehrle/Peavy coming off the books in the relative short-term, it only makes sense to extend Danks.
