I've been struggling to read a comprehensive piece on the Belgian police raid, but it seems like European powers are all on high alert that coordinated attacks may happen at once. I'm really hoping it's all noise. Thoughts go out.

Ugh. I am not recognizing the birthday of a traitor to the country.

Lots of hot sports takes in this thread

One happy ending, I"m getting a replacement phone for free. I can handle the remainder of contract. I just priced out tmobile/att/verizon though. 2 people line with iphone 6 estimate: Tmobile Unlimited data 100 for 2 lines 54 for 2 phones = 154 for month Verizon Edge 4 GB data (we've never gone over 3GB) 120 2 phones = 178 ATT Next Never figured out the breakdown, but they quoted 218!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 18, 2015 -> 05:22 PM) He was making a tackle and Kam Chancellor came in and nailed his helmet right on Sherman's left arm. Ah, probably nothing torn then

Aaron Rodgers is just the best player in football.

I wonder what Sherman did. He kinda is reacting like Peanut did with the torn tricep.

Aaron Kromer

I want Fangio so bad, but i know that Snyder will probably pay him like a head coach

Agree with J4L but man that clip is ridiculous. All that stuff about him bringing a championship attitude to CLE lasted all of 3-4 games. LeBrons such a weird dude.

It's a good thing Emery created a mock press conference to weed him out and net us a great football coach.

hmmm...mularkey eh.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 16, 2015 -> 02:06 PM) I think we just witnessed an NFL front office gastric bypass. Maybe a few years later it will go back to what it was, but it certainly isnt that way right now. Dick's comment was great, and this was perfect. I'm going to go write headline's for Buzzfeed now.

Reading Gravity's rainbow and doing much better the second time through. Stalled at 50 page last time. When I hit the really crazy chapters I "skim"

Okay, I feel better. Chris Mortenson and Schefter reporting the negotiations are finalizing. It really may have been as simple as Fox's agent was to busy to work on this at same time as Del Rio.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 08:09 PM) Pace is reportedly in Denver with John Fox. Maybe they are meeting with Adam Gase to convince him to be the OC. I'd settle for him finalizing the contract.

so ...

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 11:22 AM) Will all come down to the combine for him. A QB should be there in the 2nd round for the Bear. Was just going to say this. I wouldn't spend a 2nd rounder on a guy with 2 games on tape.

Jax is obviously terrible, but Bradley deserves 5 years there with the roster they gave him.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 11:26 AM) That was Mike McCaskey. His mom removed him shortly afterwards No, you are thinking of Dave McGinnis. Angelo was wrapping up hiring Nick Saban and Ted Phillips walked in with a contract half of what Saban thought. He walked away and stayed at LSU for a year before jumping to Miami. That led to Lovie, so not as bad as Jauron issue.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 10:59 AM) You would think, both parties would have a pretty good idea entering the building what it was going to cost, especially after Garret got that extension. Remember Nick Saban

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 10:28 AM) I think it is more that we have had so many moving parts that the team still doesn't know how to play with each other and that chemistry build is going to naturally take longer when the guy who runs your offense had pretty much missed the past two seasons so he himself has his own rust in terms of running and offense, etc. that he has to lose. I'd also say that the loss of Dunleavy / McDermott forcing us to have Snell and Moore log heavy minutes isn't exactly a major advantage. I like the fact that Snell seems to be aggressive but his shot has looked bad from the outside and he is not Dunleavy. Maybe, but the bulls in the past won these games with way less. The defense is a huge concern right now.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 09:55 AM) I will believe it when its done. Things still smell really Bearsy right now and I am just waiting to see how they screw everything up. I'm with you. I understand ptatc' point of view, but I would be worried if the bears WANTED Fox and could not land him. If this is that they don't actually want him and are trying to save face with him, I'd be fine, but that doesn't seem Bears.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 09:29 AM) If they haven't talked to Quinn, it's not a black and white "they want Fox or not." He has some question marks just like any coaching candidate. He may be the front runner but that doesn't mean it's all or nothing. Maybe they've heard good things about Quinn and wouldn't be doing the proper due diligence if they don't talk to him. Getting more information is rarely a bad move. Accorsi/Bears Brass spoke to Quinn first week.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 08:09 AM) Jimmy Butler stopped playing like the 5th best player in basketball briefly. It looks like Derrick might be ready to show up, but even at his best - this team is so much better with Butler at HIS best. We'll see. They were due for a tough stretch. That's all offensive stuff, though.
