QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 09:33 AM) All I'll say to this is how much easier is it to find a good RB (especially in the draft) compared to a good QB? The Bears have had immense trouble with both actually.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 11:56 PM) The Broncos aren't going to trade Jay Cutler, but if they were interested and wanted Matt Forte and 2nd/3rd round pick I'd trade him in a second. A) Don't get me wrong, I really like Forte but when did he become Walter Payton reincarnated? and B-) As has been proven time and time again throughout the league... its sooo much harder to find an elite QB than an RB. I wouldnt. He's already one of the best young RB's in the league and is a complete player from a blocking, catching and running standpoint. I'd really rather have Forte than Cutler. I think Forte is a stud and a star in the making.

Best characters in TV shows?
QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 04:47 PM) The WHOLE f***ING CAST of Arrested Development Elliot, Cox, Janitor, Kelso, Turk in Scrubs Fry, Bender, Professor in Futurama Ill limit myself to those three shows, by far my favorite ones. If you like Arrested Dev, you must also like Always Sunny, Undeclared and Freaks and Geeks. I find all of them are in humor harmony.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 08:48 PM) If the Bears traded Forte, I'd shoot myself in the f***ing head. I'd prob boycott the games. That would be one of the worst moves in Bears history.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) Um... no, I wasn't taking it seriously. Obviously it wasn't meant to be. I'm saying, even as a fun action movie, it was an utter failure. To be honest, this is the first time i've actually heard that people didnt like the movie.

QUOTE (G&T @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) Trib What I especially love about Phillips' "analysis" is that Piniella was in Seattle when they brought in Ichiro among other Japanese players. He probably understands "assimilation" better than most. Fukucrappy's swing had the most to do with the fact he didnt hit.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 12:59 PM) Not surprising, considering its the same guy who brought us 300, one of the most laughably bad movies I've ever seen. Man I loved that movie. Great modern interpretation of mythology IMO.

QUOTE (The Bones @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 01:42 PM) It's hard for me to choose between Gob, Tobias, and Buster in Arrested Development. Others that I don't think have been mentioned... Borat in Da Ali G Show Bill Haverchuck in Freaks and Geeks David Brent in The Office (UK) Andy Bernard in The Office (US) Eric in Undeclared haverchuck is the unsung hero of that entire series. Most people only recognize him as the bearded friend in Knocked up, but he is seriously hilarious.

Colon/Contreras Update
I'm worried Count is going to tear that thing again, although that comes from not knowing much about the injury in general. It just cant be very common for 40 year olds to recover three months early from a devastating injury without either chemical assistance or the hand of god.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 10:46 AM) Campbell is a top 10 offensive defenseman in the game. The Hawks wanted to improve their powerplay. They have. Yes, a few years down the line this might become a pain in the ass... One thing we have not talked about around here is how well Cam Barker has played this year and especially of late. He almost seemed like a bust no more than a year ago, now he's one of the top young offensive D-men in the league. /jack I agree with you on both counts, I've also liked the progression of Walker who I thought wouldnt last very long at this level. Overall we probably need one more good defensive minded D-man to be a real good team on the back end.

Was the 2008 NBA Draft rigged to favor Chicago?
Thats just a reflection of how retarded east coast sports fans are. If they dont get something in their favor, then someone rigged it.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 06:52 PM) But you are all missing the point. Cutler had an OL and a WR corps that is better by far then the one we have here. If you think Cutler would come here with our current team and succeed, you're wrong. If we would have signed Houshmandzadeh or traded for Chad Johnson, then I would have said let's try to bring in Cutler. But to trade 3 draft picks in the next 2 years that will all be in the first 2 rounds to get a guy that has no help would be ridiclous. Cutler is 10 maybe 50 times the QB Orton is, talent, ceiling and now. You give him Matt Forte in the backfield and you have a nice playoff contender. Kyle Orton is a good backup, an avg starter at best.

ST Game: 3/02 Sox vs. Mariners (2:05 CT)
QUOTE (tommy @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) I couldn't watch the game today only saw the box. Can we say that Josh Fields starts looking like a everyday 3B for this team? He does actually. And if Beckham continues to get at bats, its going to be hard to keep him off the major league team. Even his ground outs are impressive from a contact standpoint, the kid can f***ing play.
