I will admit i was completely unaware of how painfully conservative he was

Quiet! Do you really want more people like Quin showing up and posting “I don’t understand any of this”?!?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 30, 2017 -> 09:16 AM) An official announcement that they were making GotG happened the same weekend the first Avengers movie came out. I remember going to see it that Saturday and checking my phone and seeing a post about it on Facebook. Who knows when they actually decided to make it though. The cosmic cube was in Captain America, they already knew where they were going

can we get through a day without another sexual misconduct allegation in hollywood or politics?

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 30, 2017 -> 07:00 AM) Sure there is. They wanted to connect their GOTG series with the Earth serieses. The Infinity stones are part of Thor, GOTG, Avengers (Vision), and Dr. Strange. Thanos owns the Infinity Gauntlet. GOTG had nothing to do with choosing Thanos. The decision to start the Infinity storyline came way before they even decided to do GOTG

No! Big Sqwert you thief

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) I think he's just saying they could have built towards a different story this whole time and not the Infinity War story. Although, there are rumors that the Captain Marvel movie is going to set up a "Secret Invasion" story-line with the Skrull (possibly for Avengers 4 or beyond). I guess. Infinity war is a pretty iconic storyline though

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 02:04 PM) Sure, but there's no reason they had to pick Thanos. Well, they have been building towards Thanos since the first Thor movie, so they kind of did have to pick Thanos eventually. The MCU is based around the Infinity stones and Infinity War, Thanos is the only bad guy to pick for it.

Perfect spot for a middle finger emoji

I think Toub will definitely be interviewed, and not only by the bears

Jut is a strange word. Just look at it

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 02:25 PM) Pitt asked for my position for gosh sakes. You guys are unreasonable regarding me at times. He asked! I delivered. What the heck u want from me?? I've been called a troll. Blindly post? I offered a response to an inquiry. Give me a break for once. I've accepted the plan. I am a fan. I have no choice but to be on board. I am on board. My only other option is to drop the team from my interest list. Hard to do when you are a lifelong fan. I've accepted the plan. I'm observing it and ready to go with the rebuild. Oh come on. I don't have to support it 100 percent especially when they are about to do something I deem very very counterproductive - getting rid of Avi and Abreu. There are a few on here who agree with me they'd like to keep both. You also are being unfair when you say I don't read responses and just say "good post." That is a huge huge assumption to make and just isn't true. You are assuming a lot in your last sentence or two and it happens to be untrue. I want to be educated. My "problem" or my trait is I won't accept what I consider to be rubbish takes without fighting back and offering my own take which you can consider rubbish as well. You guys are very unfair to me at times IMO. Do I support the rebuild in your words? Of course. I have no choice. It's here and I'm ready for all of them to succeed. I happen to think my takes will help the rebuild succeed or I woldn't post them. Avi and Abreu, of course keep them. What bugs me about you guys is you seem to think we couldn't win the other way. I say we couldn't because of inept manager (Robin) and bad scouts and bad advance scouts and idiotic decisions to sign stiffs like LaRoche rather than good players. Have a nice day all of you! you want to be educated, yet you label people "draftniks" and completely shoot down their posts with things like "you draftniks slay me...." when they make reasonable and very educated posts about the matter. You reap what you sow, greg. People try and reason with you, and eventually they get so frustrated that they snap on you because they explain things to great lengths and you ignore them and keep on repeating yourself

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 02:05 PM) Why won't you guys comment on my position and my post? I really want to hear what out of all my position entails is wrong or not at least very logical. you dont read responses. You skim them, say "good post" if someone agrees with you, and then move on and repeat yourself without taking anything anyone has said to you into consideration. I dont even know why i wrote that to be honest QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 02:11 PM) I actually thought that his recently stated position showed some change. Seems to me that ( at least in that post ), he's on board with the same plan that management is executing. he acknowledges the rebuild. He certainly doesnt support it or try to understand it

https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-ben-gordo...obbery-charges/ Ben Gordon arrested for felony robbery. Something is going on inside that guys head, hopefully he gets some help

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 02:00 PM) Holy "taking things out of context," Batman! not greg. certainly you arent speaking of greg of the 775

very correct post by Rowand

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 27, 2017 -> 06:57 AM) First off, I’m not sure why you’re comparing Mitch to two of the greatest QBs. No one other than you has that expectation. But the idea that these guys had no one to throw to is garbage. Antonio Freeman & Donald Driver both had more talent in their little pinkies than this entire Bears WR group. He also had talented receivers like Sterling Sharpe & Javon Walker for periods of time as well. Farve may have made these guys better, but they weren’t some bums like you’re making them out to be. I’d have to look at Brady’s receivers to truly comment on him, but everything about the Patriots is an outlier and they typically found guys who fit their schemes perfectly. So again, if Brady is your expectation here, be prepared for a world of dissapointment with Mitch. Brady had guys like Moss, Welker, Gronk, Deion Branch, Aaron Hernandez, Amendola that have all produced very well with him. And Brady certainly didn’t have “it” right off the bat, he was a game manager and Belicheck schemed to beat every team around a good defense. Parkman clearly seems to believe that elite QBs make the WRs and even bums can look great under the elites. Not gonna bother trying to change his mind

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Nov 26, 2017 -> 11:22 PM) Don't give me the "he has nobody to throw to" excuse. While they were both all-time greats, Favre and Brady NEVER had anyone to throw to. NOBODY they had as recievers did ANYTHING outside of Green Bay and New England respectively, save for the 2 seasons that Brady had Randy Moss. Hell, Brady won 2 SBs with Troy Brown, Jabar Gaffney, and Deion Branch as his top 3 receivers. Had zero TEs at that point. Those guys were probably equal in talent to Wright/Inman. Antonio Freeman, Greg Jennings and Donald Driver never did anything when away from Favre/Rodgers either. The QB makes the receiver, not the other way around. I wonder how many 1,000 yd seasons Larry Fitzgerald had without Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer? A: 2 in 6 seasons. Wait, you are saying Brady and Manning neither had great receivers to throw to?

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Nov 26, 2017 -> 08:56 PM) The last 2 weeks made me change my mind a bit. I was more hopeful after the GB/DET games, but this one made it come crashing down. Do I think he's going to be really good? No. Could I be wrong? Yes. The definition of "The jury is still out" It doesn't change the fact that the great ones make things happen the moment they take the field. Do they make rookie mistakes as rookies? Of course, but there is more good than bad. Not so for Trubisky. Go watch Wentz's first 3 starts and then go watch Trubisky's first 3. Night and day. I wish I could go back and watch the first 3 starts of QBs who were really solid for a long time. I'd bet you'd find things in common. Come on, there is no metric based on first three starts that correlates to anything. Brady was mediocre, Manning’s entire first season was an interception filled nightmare, Farve was good but by no means blowing the doors off anyone. The last two games changed your mind and then when he faces one of the best defenses in the league with a completely inept offensive coordinator and a s***ty bunch of WRs and all the sudden you are back at “well the great ones all have “it” and they are able to carry teams the minute they get into their first start” crap

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Nov 26, 2017 -> 07:12 PM) Nobody's writing off Trubisky already, but what I've seen doesn't look promising. The guy has a bunch of the traits of Cutler on the field. He's a) inaccurate b) has sloppy mechanics/footwork c) supposedly has a rocket arm and played college ball at a non football school in a power 5 conference. Trubisky has to really prove otherwise in order to make me believe in him as a starter in the NFL. I will continue to say it, but you know who the guys who are going to be the great ones are from the moment they take the field. They throw receivers open, make the offensive line look better than it is and make big plays at crunch time. Do they still make mistakes early? Yeah. But the traits are there. I don't see those traits in Trubisky. 2018 is huge for Trubisky and Pace. If Trubisky continues to be below average to bad, Pace is gone. Pace also needs to get new pro scouts because his FA signings suck. Dude, you wrote him off after his first game, no lie. You talked about drafting another quarterback and said Trubisky doesn’t have “it”, so spare me your “nobody’s writing off Trubisky” crap.

This is basically the same feeling I got watching NE and Green Bay hang back to back 50 point games

By all reports Alshon was not happy in chicago and just wanted out so Pace did not pursue or tag him. The problem is they didn’t replace him with anyone that could replicate his production and hoped White would be better.

Gonna end this half down 24 with no first downs

Just fire Fox and Loggains already. They clearly have mailed it in

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 26, 2017 -> 08:49 AM) Trading Garcia and Abreu would seem to indicate that the team has no intentions of competing for anything the next few years. Instead we'll have lousy teams with low payrolls and mucho profits for JR and his investors. Then in another 4 years the team will start another 5 year rebuild. Always remember what Bill Veeck said, "5 year plans usually lead to a new 5 year plan". Yaaaaawn
