QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 07:00 PM) He didn't come close? Didn't he have 7 TDs? What would "close" be? 12 TDs? I think Olsens problem has been consistency. 3 of those 7 touchdowns came in 1 game(week 9 vs AZ) and he disappeared for a 6 game stretch. He had flashes of what we think we drafted, but then he has had some maddening drops and invisible stretches. True, teams take him out of the game because he is the only threat the bears really had, but at the same time you always remember great tight ends like Tony Gonzalez because even when they were the only option they still were making all of the catches. Greg also has some problems with his blocking assignments, and thats part of the reason Cutler was getting killed back there. I think he can still be a star TE, but I also feel he does have a ways to go

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 06:47 PM) Yeah Jeremy Bates from USC, was at Denver when Cutler was there. And that's the guy the Bears should target not Martz IMO. Why, because I believe Cutler's at his best as a QB when he's out of the pocket and on the run, and that's basically what Bates / Denver's offense was in the Shanahan days. And that's where Cutler has had the most success, not as a pocket passer, but as a mobile QB. Maybe he'd introduce the zone blocking scheme that the likes of Houston and I'm sure Washington will use now also. I think letting a QB handpick his own OC is a recipe for disaster, and seeing how Pete Carroll basically wants Bates gone and also noting USC's fall from offensive grace, I am not enthralled with Bates becoming the OC.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 06:27 PM) I hope the Salukis win the MVC, I honestly do. just out of curiosity, why?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 06:19 PM) The Score's Herb Lawrence just posted an NBA rumor involving Chris Bosh being sent to the Bulls for Hinrich, Thomas and a 1st rounder. Doesn't make sense to me. Bosh is worth more than that. The closer Bosh gets to free agency the less leverage the Raptors have. Im not saying that trade will happen and it is fair, but I wouldnt be surprised if something happened and Bosh is traded for less than his percieved worth

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 06:15 PM) When you have a lineup like the Yankees of course a .900 OPS is the "weak link". However, he would've been our best OFer last year. And either way, the Yankees weakest OF was Melky Cabrera. Besides, why would a player like him be considered the weak link? Since when is a .869 OPS weak? That doesn't make any sense. Who would you have the Sox bring in to DH? In the playoffs, Swisher was very much the weak link. Yankees fans dont forget playoff performances

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 06:11 PM) That would be a huge win for you guys. We get them Saturday I'm pumped. If the Salukis want to show that they can hang, they need to drop UNI tonite. Time to bring back the home court advantage to the Arena

The Segui/Karros/Hentgen type votes are from the people who dont want the Alomars and Blylevens in the hall of fame. They are excuse picks. Is there full disclosure about who votes for who? If there isnt and this is entirely secretive, then it should be exposed, because these hacks need to have their vendettas and politics thrown back in their faces.

Northern Iowa vs Southern Illinois on ESPNU tonite should be fun

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 08:55 AM) Vinnie Jones played Juggernaut on the X-Men??? Wow, I didn't know that. In X-3 he did. And he said that line too. It was about the only redeemable portion of that crapfest.

LMAO, language NSFW

QUOTE (Fantl916 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 04:33 PM) i havent read the whole thread, but has anyone floated the idea of Russell Branyan? Looks like his options are dwindling and he was pretty dam good against righties last year. one or two year deal at $4 million per? Use Andruw against lefties, Branyan against righties? Sounds pretty hot to me! I was thinking about this the other night myself. Branyan is passable defensively as well. Im wondering if he has a pretty hefty pricetag that he has given himself because of last year.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) Dear god.... Like I said, hogan gets his friends paid. Brian Knobs has been one of his best friends for a long time

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 11:16 AM) Only for Wii? Yeah now you know how I feel when i see some of the Xbox and PS3 exclusives all over tv

At what point did Arenas go from kooky silly to almost artest insane?

LOL, TNA about to give a big push for Nasty Boys vs Dudleyz

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 09:01 AM) They won the AL. In 2008? I must have missed that while watching the Sox and Twins in their 1 game playoff. I believe bmags is talking about the Tigers pre 08 trade for Willis and Cabrera that had everyone penciling them in for a World Series. Didnt quite happen that way

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 08:54 AM) Reasonable estimates of the team value of the Cavs seem to suggest that having scored the 2003 #1 pick has probably increased the value of the Cavs franchise by about $100 million over the past 7 years, and if he were to leave it'd knock an immediate $50 million off of the value of that asset (again, not considering things like revenue there, just considering the value of the franchise itself if it were sold). yeah, but the payroll hasnt really increased all that much in St Louis the past 10 years because Pujols has been on the team, and after the contract is signed it wouldnt seem like they would have a huge jump in popularity. This isnt adding a star, this is resigning a star. Plus, the Cavs were dreadful. The Cardinals have stayed competitive since LaRussa has been in charge

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 08:49 AM) I liked Jack Black in High Fidelity. And nothing else ever. I actually liked the Tenacious D movie. Especially the Sasquatch scene. Be Kind Rewind, School of Rock and Tropic Thunder werent bad either. But he has made a bunch of duds too

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 08:41 AM) Madden 10, NHL 2k10, NBA 2K10... anyone played any of these games on Wii? I got a Wii for Christmas and I was thinking of adding them to my want list. If you are a gamer for sports games, these franchises arent really made for Wii. PS3 and XBox are the way to go, the graphics and gameplay are far superior. The Wii is fun for different reasons for me. I like a lot of the WiiWare games, I like being able to download NES/SNES/Sega/TurboGraphx/NeoGeo/N64 games, and the Nintendo brand games(Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Wii Sports) are always a blast.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 08:36 AM) I think Pujols is probably somewhat comparable to Lebron, in the sense of bringing a huge amount of additional value to the team just by being there. I'm not sure how much that counts, but I would bet they'd lose more money if they let him walk. I agree with that, but can it offset this amount of money?

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 08:23 AM) Vinnie Jones??? Its Juggernaut, b****

I just cant get my head around the fact that the Cardinals will be paying roughly 35 million dollars to two players if/when Albert gets extended. According to this site the payroll last year was $ 88,528,409, can they honestly commit that much money to two players without losing out in quality in the rest of the team? The owner must be increasing the payroll, but from what I recall the Cardinals still try to operate on a smaller budget even with the new stadium and sellouts

Its on the kid side, but me and my daughter are reading "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" together before the movie comes out. Its not bad so far. Its very "Harry Potter" in a Greek sense instead of Magical sense, but it is still good
