QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2013 -> 01:14 AM) The way you get to that point is the Bears spend their $20 million in cap space on Melton and an O-lineman, leaving them no room to sign Urlacher and thus a major need for LB. I don't know I'd consider that a major need. I really didn't notice a drop-off last year without him.

Alright, Haith sucks. Can't stand teams that are worse than the sum of their parts. This far into the season, to play this boneheaded and for the defense to be so lost so often. Can't stand it.

I think it's fairly clear what the Obama scandal will be. This shuffling over providing justification or info on the killing of a US citizen by the state without due process is telling to me. This is horses***. Congress needs to demand a process for this.

I just really don't care to draft a linebacker unless they are explosive and athletic at rushing.

Ha, true. You can't say much to mizzou fans, we are constantly in a state of paranoia that we will fail or be screwed.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 01:30 PM) All I know is my KU friends that keep bringing up Norfolk State are going to get hell for the next few days. I'm sure you won't get far with that, considering Mizzou lost to LSU last week.

Well...can't say I feel better that Mizzou can say "Sure, we had a bad conference record, but our recruiting justifies it!"

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 4, 2013 -> 04:24 PM) Also that throw from Kaepernick was awful. He puts that ball in the endzone and not out of bounds they probably would have called the hold. Kaepernick was 0-4 throwing ball in the end zone yesterday and 1-8 in the playoffs. Not many qb's tend to nail the fade route with a linebacker getting a clear path at them. That happened both during the 2pt conversion and 4th down where the line failed picking up the blitz.

I think it's pretty scary, both Seattle and San Fran still have significant growth opportunity in skill positions (WR) and still had such nice offensive output. I just don't see their D's crumbling with the talent they have at QB and in the trenches.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 4, 2013 -> 02:32 PM) Hopefully they give Teague more play too since Hinrich is out. Just outstanding for his development for sure. I think Thibs has avoided Teague recently due to his play. He had a nice stretch, but recently when he has come in in garbage time situations he's immediately turning the ball over. I think we'll see a 40+ minute game from Nate Robinson again, and basically just wear out robinson, butler, deng, and gibson.

I don't know, this investigation was fairly tame compared to ncorgbl. There's nothing really invasive about IP address checks.

City Provisions closed a few days ago. Pretty sad. I would go sparingly since it was pricey, but I loved the owner.

I take that back, what I just said. That would be pretty f***ing awesome. The bears that one year, like averaged starting at the 43 yard line. They could have scored points nearly every drive. Can we start pumping some Brazilian kid with HGH?

I don't think it would be worth it! Look at Janikowski.

The north was one of the best divisions last year.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 06:42 AM) To all my Missouri fans that supported Frank Haith: stop. He's terrible. s***ty losses like tonight will only continue to happen. They continue to be completely unprepared at the start of games. Who does that fall on? The coach. He stinks. This team will struggle to make the tournament at this rate. You remind me of the fans screaming "FIRE YOST" every five minutes because he ran a screen you didn't like. Last night sucked, but he took on a team comprised of mostly all seniors last year, and they had a great year. He lost all that continuity and talent, and on the fly brought in a lot of players from different ages to fill in the program. He also lost the only other player who played on last years team. The result? A bunch of players still trying to learn how to play with each other and they are getting taken advantage of on the road. It happens. This is still going to be a tournament team.

Saw book of mormon last night. It was excellent, I had an amazing time. Hearty rec.

I imagine while he still needs to get back up his cardio endurance. When I miss basketball for a few weeks I'm gasping for air until I throw up my lungs. Back to things people give a s*** about...

LOL

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 07:13 PM) I'd imagine investors see long term potential with Amazon as the biggest and best online retailer taking over/spearheading new markets (Kindle, Prime, etc.) Oh definitely, but I find the labeling of their journey as a suicide mission to destroy all retail hilarious. I'm just surprised we haven't seen any real signs that their lower margin offerings are helping out their higher margin purchases at all. They have an interesting future, that's for sure.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/0...45_percent.html I find Yglesias' series on how amazon is the most terrifying company in the world humorous. I'm sure there were some good signs in amazon's report but it is funny to see Apple's p/e below microsoft and a bunch of companies that seem far less likely to put anything together.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 28, 2013 -> 05:02 PM) I feel like hockey and baseball are better life, NFL is better on TV no question, and NBA depends on where you sit. That's a good point. Truth be told I've never been below the 300 level for bball. Definitely need to treat myself soon to a really nice seat.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 28, 2013 -> 04:53 AM) I was at the game (first hockey game ever for me). Great atmosphere. Even better we won. Awesome! For me, NHL is the only pro sport I'd prefer to be watching live. I like being at sports events every once in a while, but for the most part prefer watching on tv with replays and such. But hockey is too awesome live.
