Saw Roger Waters The Wall last night, best show I will probably ever see in my life. Only sad part is that obviously Gilmour was not there and its apparent that Gilmour and Waters will never perform a full tour together.( Gilmour will apparently play the guitar solo for Comfortably Numb 1 time). I just hope that Gilmour tours with Pink Floyd one more time, but I highly doubt it.

The Melo trade presupposes that Melo would sign a contract before the trade was agreed. Melo signed > Noah unsigned

I dont consider Billups a better PG than Rose. And I think that you can find high energy selfless guys to play Center. Finding legitimate superstars can be more difficult. With a core of Boozer, Melo and Rose, the Bulls will be able to grab guys with MLE, etc to play a defensive center position. And if Noah wont sign, he isnt really the team player everyone is making him out to be. If he wants to be a Bull, sign the contract and end the talk of being traded.

Today's Insurance Changes
And by customers you mean 31 million who they will gladly charge premiums one day, while the next day they try to deny every claim the customer submits. Ive got a lot of sad stories about insurance companies.

I actually liked the event. And the final minute didnt really change that.

Detroit 1-8-7 was decent. And Boardwalk Empire is a period piece. If you like mob history, youll most likely really enjoy the show.

Walker May Retire -- according to the Sun Times
Well he was quoting my comment, which never said that Walker was great. Merely stated that a hitting coach is only as good as the players he is given. I cant really think of many players who didnt hit well with the Sox but then went on to improve drastically (Swisher?). You cant polish s*** (well you can as proven by Mythbusters, but I digress).

Walker May Retire -- according to the Sun Times
Thanks Greg, Contrary to popular belief a coach is only as good as his players. From all accounts you were hard working and tried to instill some better fundamentals into the Sox players. Sox offense did better than expected this year, so I guess its one of those, grass is always greener. Hopefully you stick around the organization in some capacity and the Sox are able to find a new hitting coach.

Blago Trial
http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_...enate-seat.html Well that was the evidence I was talking about all along. Strange that now it comes out. Well unless of course youre Rahm Emmanuel and hoping to be the next Mayor and consider Jesse Jr. a challenger. But I love conspiracy.

Well I consider onside kick a fluke play. It may happen, but when your making decisions on how to play, Id let the game come down to an onside kick. It means your ahead and they are desperate.

Its just a numbers game at that point. With a 2 possession lead you have 6 touches of the ball at 40 seconds a touch. If you can make them burn time outs or wear down the clock you are most likely going to use 1:20 of clock. Now the Cowboys are in a bad position, 1 time out and the bears have the ball.

Ive got no problem with Martz running the ball 3 times, knowing the Bears wont even get a yard but burning the Cowboys time outs or the clock. 2 possession game you just run clock.

I have more confidence in Cutler trying 3 throws or a roll out with an option to run, then I do with a rb gaining these yards.

The first series looked bad but Martz made adjustments. Bears fans just arent used to a coordinator who doesnt stubbornly stick to the same 3 plays.

Yep the only safe play at that point

They probably figured the Bears would respond by having more blockers kept in, instead the Bears went to an ultra aggressive approach. Its just not what you expect from the Bears offense.

Martz is a good OC. Realizes that his offensive line is overmatched so he spreads the field and has Cutler start making 3 step drop quick reads. That was pretty impressive.

Wisconsin looks really bad right now on defense. They could have scored some points, but their defense has been brutal

Last year we had all 32. I just meant that I assume multiple people will want the Bears and other teams. I agree that we should split teams by division, but we cant have every team in the same division otherwise itll take us a year for 1 season. Most games were against CPU, 2-4 were against players until playoffs.
