"I've never seen Hawkins get an extra base hit off of a fastball."

Power play to get Blatt fired.

Sigh.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 31, 2014 -> 09:56 AM) Would people be interested in Winston if he's available at pick 7? I'm not sure I could handle that. I don't want that person to do anything but fail.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 01:23 PM) What is there to be scared about? It's not like the Sox have been very successful under the current owner. Moving.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 05:48 PM) One thing about Gase is that since the broncos have a bye-week I believe he's technically actually allowed to interview this week but not next. Possible someone could interview him and have a hire lined up during that period if the Bears don't at least show interest. Yeah, I wouldn't read too much into not having a GM. Frankly we may have to wait 5 weeks for some of those guys. Would you really prefer we not interview them at all?

Oh god, one loss and the minutes police is back.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 12:37 PM) Is anyone else eagerly waiting for the new ownership group? Reinsdorf is going to be 79 in February and you have to think change is coming. I'm actually a bit scared.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 09:54 AM) Wasn't Decosta the one who turned down the Bears interview a couple of years ago? I would like a run at him, yes he turned down before, but he is Ozzie Newsome's successor and I do not believe he will leave. He may be off of our list because he has already told Acorsi.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 10:03 AM) Right there with Dick LeBeau? No. It's not even close. Rod Marinelli is a good D-line coach, but that is about it. Definitely not some who you ask to rank possible head coaches. Article also says he went on to have great success with Dallas. Cowboys are ranked 28th in sacks this year and are in the bottom half of the league in run defense. He's done a nice job there, but it's not like he has them crushing offenses. Their defensive line sucks though. Anyway, the point of it is why were the Bears force feeding Marinelli to every HC option, also allowing Marinelli the feeling he was picking successor, and pick the coach who will keep Marinelli but not the coach marinelli wants, and LOSE ALL OF THEM.

Along those lines:

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 05:13 PM) Are people saying that Mike Shanahan is a possibility for head coach or his son? Being reported that Mike Shanahan actively wants bears job.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 04:50 PM) Wait...so Tucker is still employed with the Bears? I thought his firing would just be a given since he was brought in by Emery who is now fired. This organization cant help but be fun bad with everything they do. They basically said the reason they fired Kromer was because of his actions with the locker room thing. Every other position player will be decided on by the new coach, as is custom.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 04:47 PM) so should social economic growth stop?? if the property increases, those who rent will be in a better area. no one is going to fix all the economic problems of the world. No, and he's not saying that. The problem is normal market forces don't always apply to housing. Normally when demand increases, supply will increase. But in housing, there are often roadblocks that prevent it.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) one of them was Telander HA! perfect.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 04:40 PM) The people that want nothing to change really enjoy their new stores and safe me environment but want it without anyone else moving in. You can't have it both ways. People accept the new status quo and defend it immediately, while simultaneously opposing anything new, as if they are always on the cusp of a tipping point. Chicago is pretty good about this, it has space and a history of ambitious architecture. But think about San Fran. Possibly the dumbest group of people running around asking "HOW DO WE SOLVE THIS".

Sox stadium to me isn't that different to me from Citi parks location. It's not the iconic "mixed within the city" look of San Fran, Wrigley, Pittsburgh, Boston, Bronx, Coors, etc...but it's the next best thing. The stadiums that work in suburban locations are almost all in cities with low density and driving is expected. It's basically "good enough" and anything you swap it out with would be about as convenient, otherwise it's improbable from a cost standpoint without significant city buy-in...and why would Chicago?

Who is this meathead reporter so enthralled by the idea that a pissed off Virginia McCaskey should coach the bears?

often in gentrification, the things that would help with prices, like new housing being built, are opposed by both gentrifiers and old residents. That's what makes this a funny topic, everyone wants status quo when it comes to their neighborhood.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 04:26 PM) If it is a s*** hole why do they care that they're being moved out? Is there a purpose to this question?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 04:25 PM) "She is pissed off" quote on Virgina Was he crying talking about it?

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 04:24 PM) I haven't heard any of this press conference but by your reactions it sounds like its the same ol Bear circus. That is disappointing. I was hopeful they would have handled this right. They really had to get this right. I'm happy about Accorsi, but would have liked him as a longer term thing pushing Ted aside. Frankly, I was hoping Cowher would come out of retirement and be a president of operations even though I know a lot would hate. So, yay for accorsi, nay for it meaning we are getting a very traditional chairman - phillips - GM - Coach

"Is this a sign that you don't have an idea of what you want? Or do you consider this normal?" in reference to Accorsi, haha. They just said it was a tool, blah blah. I'd really like much more info on what Accorsi is doing.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 04:19 PM) To be fair, when was the last time J4L is right about his predictions? 1998? For me, he's right about this era of basketball and the basketball in the west being as good or better than any before. And I think he's usually a voice of reason when someone wants to cut down on lebron or another superstar out of Jordan-righteousness.
