QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 03:26 PM) I disagree, he is the exact talent that could be called a franchise QB, he has had s*** around him most of the time here. What other team would use Devin Hester as their "#1" WR? like we did years ago. The fact that he's the most talented QB we've had in my lifetime just amplifies it. If Cutler had been playing for the Packers he'd be considered a top 5 QB. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 03:35 PM) The baggage all centers around his facial expressions, I just dont buy it. He was on the radio today and had a 100% better interview than Urlacher did yet Jay is the one that has baggage. He's gone through how many OC's in his time here and how many OL? This is a guy that plays through pain better than any other QB I've seen while at the same time battling diabetes. The media doesnt sway me to the anti-jay POV at all. Life of a Bears QB

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 11:38 AM) I'm not a huge fan of Tarantino either. It has nothing to do with him personally though. He's a copy cat artist. He just mimics his favorite film makers and combines them into one film. Pulp Fiction was amazing and featured outstanding performances by some outstanding actors. I liked Jackie Brown, but have been disappointed in pretty much everything else. Some people find him to be completely original, but I feel his films lack imagination. There is an argument in my field of study (Cinema and Media Studies) that says this is all anybody can do.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 07:29 AM) This is pretty much what I was talking about earlier when they were so vague as to what was going on. The rotator cuff and biceps debridement are the "cleaning up" of normal wear and tear on a pitcher. The capsular repair is the key. He should recover just fine depending on how loose the capsule was. Hopefully, the surgeon was able to determine how tight it needed to be. With no real muscle damage his strength will be fine and the rehab will be quick. Either way he will be throwing again by Spring Training. It will be a 3-6 months rehab protocol. QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 4, 2012 -> 08:27 AM) There is really no reason he shouldn't be ready. The tissues involved are all static structures like ACL reconstruction or UCL replacement in the elbow. These are all very predictable in the recovery time. Moreso, than when you are dealing with active dynamic structures such as muscle or tendon repairs. The usual recovery time is 3-6 months depending on the extent of the repair. His wasn't too bad considering they have him throwing 3 months after the surgery.

+14 spread. I win by picking EKU Centsports ftw

Nah, I took EKU +14

Jay appears to hold anyone necessary accountable in the huddle, but he takes all the blame in the media.

Apparently Crean has been complaining that the refs hurt Indiana in the game yesterday as well as a supposedly pro-Butler crowd. I don't have a link, it was recited to me. Complaining that they got no "50-50 calls"

The only history is that when healthy, John Danks is a good to great pitcher

I have no problem getting into the Sean Payton sweepstakes, I just hope he doesn't cheat in Chicago

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) One of the details I'm finding to be somewhat interesting today is that it appears the mother of the shooter was one of those survivalist/doomsday prepper types. That's out from a couple sources now, this link is one of htem. That does explain why she'd have an assault-style rifle in the house. paging mr. genius, engage the right-wing nut tracking system

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) There's no way that Forte is at the point you can save anything by cutting him yet. I realize this, but I'm just saying he is on notice. He has to be able to get in the endzone. He's a big guy, he doesn't get excuses.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:22 PM) Cutler-Marshall-Jeffery-(Forte) Briggs-(Peppers)-Tillman-Jennings-Melton Those are the guys that need to stay. The guys in parentheses I don't mind seeing go away, especially given salary. And if we keep those guys, we have a good chance to remain competitive in the next few years

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) I'm just not going to send my kids to public school. Teachers are spoiled rotten by their unions, they're f***ing terrible at their jobs and they clearly aren't safe. Besides, all public schools really are anymore is indoctrination centers to send kids for a life in the Democratic party (sure as hell dont teach math or science worth a damn anymore). Just forsake our broken public school system and you'll be fine. lol, my public school routinely made me participate in prayer, told me how much trouble we were in because of Obama, how lucky we were to have Bush as President, etc. I can't believe I made it out alive.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) Jay Cutler has more excuses made for him than anyone else in the NFL. He's not a bad QB, but an elite QB goes into this game and doesn't leave you making excuses. I wonder how many backups we have to play before we realize what a terrible, terrible offense Jerry Angelo has constructed

I've never seen Troy Aikman side with the Bears on anything, and he was clearly disgusted with the referees.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 02:51 PM) Although the rate of these type of mass killings in this country is shooting upwards...the country as a whole is actually getting saver (strangely well correlated with getting lead out of children's brains, btw). I read somewhere that mass shootings peaked in the USA in 1929. I'll try to track down a link. I think the USA is getting better and better, even if we are more efficient at finding and reporting on the bad things.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:03 PM) Be nice if he showed up to play against the Packers If you don't have those calls go against Jeffery, his numbers would look pretty decent. We just didn't give him a chance. This always happens with the Bears. I can't think of a thing Jay could have done given his supporting crew + playcalling

Minus the last play, I can't even be mad at Cutler

If I'm Lovie, I can't believe my livelihood is going to be changed by this f***ing referee crew

If this was baseball, you'd protest the game

37 f***ING HELD HIM ALL THE GOD DAMN WAY

TERRIBLE f***ING CALL

lol Hester gets mugged, no call

lol a play can't go by without Rodgers b****ing about no flags
