Highly recommend listening to that Jay Cutler show with Bennett. It was hilarious. I think it's still on ESPN.com/chicago

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 05:02 PM) Yea Trent being traded kinda screwed me over too. Thank god I have McCoy, but I have a few guys banged up (Lacy, D. Richardson, etc.) already. You have 4 starting RBs? yeesh, stop complaining.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 02:17 PM) Moreno. Should get a lot of touches in a presumed blowout. And most likely to score a TD. I have Ridley and Bradshaw too but fortunately they are only my RB3 and RB4. Someone just dropped Bilal Powell so if he passes through waivers I'm going to drop Bradshaw for him. I disagree. Cleveland will be throwing a lot this year. Not sure how you figure. They didn't trade away any pieces of their legitimately good to great defense, they made their already bad offense worse. I doubt they will be running more plays at all.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 10:48 PM) So I'd like to pick up McGahee since my backs are currently Foster, Jones-Drew and Bernard Pierce (14 team league) and I want some depth but I can't figure out which WR to drop out of Miles Austin, Josh Gordon and Eddie Royal (I also have Fitzgerald, Tavon Austin and Steve Smith) or whether I should even drop one for McGahee. Thoghts? I have a feeling Gordon's value went in the crapper.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 08:10 PM) I do agree that I wish he'd mentioned the World Series, but that's one thing Sox fans hang on to as well, similar to the Bears and '85. I honestly don't see a lot of Bulls fans reminiscing about the 90s, but the second someone even begins to describe LeBron as the best in the game, a Bulls fan will always preface it with "RIGHT NOW." Still, how many people hold Joe Crede and Aaron Rowand in high regard simply due to that World Series? They weren't bad players, but, if not for a World Series, they shouldn't be players that are celebrated forever. I think he really hurt his article by not mentioning that. (oh, and of course Deadspin wants hits - what website doesn't? - but they are merely about producing good articles, and that has fallen off to some extent in recent years, even if it is still one of my favorite sites) I'm not sure I agree that Bulls fans don't hold onto the 90s, but it certainly is different. I don't know, I think because a world series win seemed so impossible in Chicago that it holds a different type of reverence.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 05:14 PM) Glad everyone's a critic. Perhaps I should have pointed out this part and how accurate and spot on I felt it was Yes, there are some details in that paragraph that are surely incorrect, but it's pretty spot on and fits the Sox. I'm surprised negative reaction article article is getting. i thought it was pretty spot on. I came from a household that had AL loyalty and came from baltimore. So growing up we didn't have built-in history from parents that were there. I soaked in history of Bears, Bulls, Hawks pretty easily. Sox though, to me it's like they began in 1992 when I first consciously started watchin.g

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 05:05 PM) Article written by a stupid. Also, I love how the writer implies that a well over a century old rail line and a super highway is an example of how white people like to be walled off from black people. I'm sorry to mods for direction this could take. But, there is much of Chicago political history and "urban renewal" that supports the authors take over yours. Chicagos neighborhoods aren't the way they are because of preference.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 05:59 PM) I know nobody cares but it might make some people feel better, had one of the more disappointing losses in my FF career. I was up 6 and still had AJ Green and Antonio Brown on MNF and I was going up against Cincys defense, ya I lost by 1. I think I would lose my goddamn mind if that happened to me. Actually yeah I think one time I was up 14 points with nobody left, and we have a single dplayer in our league. They had Darrelle Revis. I didn't even think about it, checked my phone, that day revis had a pick-6 and like 8 tackles and I had lost.

Yeah, totally agree. But the idea that chicago is more self conscious of their standing than say, St. Louis, is insane.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 04:53 PM) Go for the vodka. You're f***ed. Actually it'll kinda just be like a normal week so far with Rice and MJD. Team is f***ed. Hopefully Mcfadden can keep it up and I can get a good performance from 3 WR. But i have no RB2 right now.

Man I'm also down Rice and Jones Drew. Should i go for J Rodgers? I picked up MJDs handcuff but against seahawks? Not sure they'll come close to scoring.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 01:34 PM) Not really. Even if they win, they are not making the playoffs. Just not a very good football team. Agree with this. Still have a scary d for anyone to face. Can't allow mistakes on offense to turn into quick TDs like last week. However, this steelers offense is so bad, if we can't get our pass rush going against them they are hopeless.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 08:13 PM) I think a big portion of why Ponder had it easy against the Bears is that the Bears were focused on not letting Peterson beat them. That said, they still need to get to the QB. I mean, that's pretty much every team vs. the vikes and yet Ponder still has horrible numbers against most all teams.

While not a bad offense, the bears have not faced an elite QB yet and still have shown a lot of easy yards. Obviously cincy we adjusted but Ponder in the second half had no problem vs. our D.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 15, 2013 -> 08:28 PM) . Good news I'll have the first waiver claim to get Pierce. Bad news is im not getting Eddie Royal or a desperately needed WR. Yeah missing pierce but picked up Rodgers. Glad tavon made the leap today. Was worried I had Ty Hilton and Austin as WR2. Looks like I can play matchup with them.

Am amazed by how great m. Bennett's hands are. If you count that out of bounds incredible catch today, he's had 3 amazing TD catches. Great signing. Looks like we would've been great with way with him or j cook but he's funnier.
