Fun Niko write-up: http://grantland.com/features/nikola-mirot...ukoc-pau-gasol/ Reading the part about how practices are twice as long, weightlifting twice as intense, defense nothing like what he had, etc... Let's wait until Jan before judging his playing time/skills.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) NAMES NAMES NAMES instead of TEAMS TEAMS TEAMS I mean, how much more fun would Mavs/Rockets be after last offseason? Watching Harden flop into 3 dudes and then kobe chuck a 35 footer over 3 dudes back and forth sounds miserable.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 27, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) f u s***ty ticket servers that can't handle the traffic of people wanting to buy tickets. edit just got in but it's giving me "tickets not available in quantity requested" for 2 or even 1 ticket, f*** this s***ty system edit2 woo finally got through section 118. Ha, just wrote this last page. Regardless of ease of use, this new system is decidedly more unfair than the ole "standing in line at the ticketmaster booth at niemen marcus.

I'm guessing TNT tonight is Mavs Spurs/ then Lakers/Rockets? Ugh, I'm wondering how much of a terri-watch the lakers are gonna be this year.

I can't believe I just saw Gary Crowton's name.

I just get a feeling like old journeyman QBs like Griese/Palmer/Hasselbeck would just kill it in this offense. It doesn't fit Jay though.

Once again, I'd prefer x100 that they do these previews as opposed to the terrible "Grantland TV Hour" or whatever crap that was. That was awful.

Bulls Bulls Bulls Bulls Bulls Bulls Bulls Bulls Bullssssssss

Our LBs who are fast enough to get back in coverage are too stupid to cover run gaps, our LBs who are smart enough to understand run gaps and play action are too slow to cover anyone. The LBs are absolutely an emery problem, as he has focused on that position in the draft.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 01:13 AM) It really depends. I actually am sick of people printing stuff that is false and then still protecting their sources. We invaded Iraq because of people doing that. And if a person agrees to an interview and says "this is off the record" without the interviewer agreeing, that isn't an agreement. Both of those are annoyingly common games, and one of them helped cost a few hundred thousand lives. That would have happened regardless of Judy Miller.

Flu epidemics continue to be scarier to me than Ebola.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 27, 2014 -> 02:45 PM) It doesn't matter. You let whomever comes her cut Jay or just stick him as a backup and you let them know that he is not our QB. If we lost because of our defense fine, but he is part of the problem. Emery and Trestman have made a complete and utter mess. In response to Jake, and I already kind of said this, I'm not sure the Bears will have a tough time filling in that coaching spot. They are fairly attractive in star power. The main disadvantage is totally gonna be money, because it ALWAYS is money. It's why Chip Kelly ain't walkin through that door. But, we aren't the Browns of last year (and even they filled in with a pretty respected assistant). There are only 32 head coaching jobs in the NFL. You'll find some takers.

I'll say this for Tucker: Yesterday we had an undrafted free agent starting at CB, an undrafted free agent starting at OLB, DJ Williams, a converted terrible first year OLB in McLellin, and a rookie safety. The Jets, whom have a great coach, have a similarly depleted secondary/LB situation and got torched by Kyle Orton. Similar to me in that the Jets have an offense that routinely puts the defense on the back of their heels. I think Tucker has done nothing to show he can develop talent, but that is a crap pie he has worked with, and it doesn't help that he has had tremendous bad luck on injuries as he institutes a new scheme. That said, the defense is bad. Really bad. But they would probably be decent if the offense could get ahead one of these days and they could pin their ears back. But they are always playing from behind.

You never see players pull up like that and it be best case scenario. Oh well, it was a fitting end point to the Bears season. Best part about Bears fandom right now is you cannot criticize the defense without being on #teamcutler, you cannot criticize Cutler and the offense without being #teamtucker even though all deserved blame. I still think that given the greater resources on offense, that they cannot do a plan like San Diego where they aim to just have long drawn out drives against bad defenses like GB/Pats/Carolina(at the time) is the much much more disappointing issue this season.

We mayyy have our pick of the litter in this draft. After ze Jaguars of course. I don't believe this is a particularly good draft class though

Lamar Houston prolly just tore his ACL on a sack dance.

So Al Louis Jean is not there yet. Guess it's good to get him experience. Currently two undrafted rookie free agents out there though.

Had to start Cam today. He never disappoints to disappoint fantasy wise.

Every time I see our giant receivers make an improbable 25 plus yard catch I think, yes, I understand why we never throw these.

At least we have our Sunday's back. Until 6 pm. Would love to see Marty Booker at QB maybe to end game.

"They felt if you take away his first read he starts to look at the rush" Understatement of the day.
