how hilarious would it be to see Chip Kelly bail on Philly after he totally gutted that team and brought in all of his pet Oregon Ducks?

And if they hit you from behind, you get a new bumper and THEY get the ticket. Not you

MY HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUSE

I like that the MLB has too much to do and cannot hear the appeal today

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 01:59 PM) Royals down 3-2. Baseball is a marathon and Royals didn't realize it in April and May acting like buffoons. KC's pitching staff is totally spent. Hosmer has been a black hole. Rios is so bad it's laughable. We all know about Rios. The mojo left KC in September and they've had a horrible ALDS. Bye bye KC. Say what you want about Ozzie. The one time we got in the playoffs we fricking went all the way. We didn't waste our appearance. True, but the Royals got there the next year and gave themselves another shot. Ozzie ended up in third.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 01:52 PM) Yeah, just tired of seeing these injuries every week. It is nuts, and it isnt slowing down

Sarkisian coming to practice and games drunk is just crazy, and even crazier that it got to the point that the PLAYERS had to say something. Why isnt his staff going to Haden and talking about what is going on?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) We need to make a list of all the "bet the house" predictions since last year and tally up how many houses we've already lost... there is a google search that can match statements to members. I dont remember what the formula is, but im sure someone whose name rhymes with Pluinarvy does

I can't bet the house, Greg lost me my house 3 months ago

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 09:19 AM) There's no reason the same strategy can't work. This team isn't a player or two away from being a contender. They need picks. They need lots and lots of picks. Trade every decent asset and look towards making a run in 3 seasons. No, the Bears are not going to tank for three years in order to get high picks, especially after dropping a hefty dime on this coaching staff. Come on, how many trades happen in the NFL every year? The Bears made two trades a few weeks ago and everyone was astonished. The Bears aren't going to "trade every decent asset" for picks because it doesn't happen like that. You build through the draft, right now the Bears have 9 picks next year and they can still make trades after the season in order to acquire more. You aren't getting anything for Forte. You aren't getting anything for Young. The Bears are Trying to figure out which players are worth keeping for the core going forward, stop wishing for something that is not gonna happen

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) Look towards the north side of town for a pretty great example of that strategy working out swell. Players and coaches shouldn't be losing. The front office should. Baseball team strategy is not the same as football team strategy. You arent dumb, you know that

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 09:12 AM) I'm not saying you don't play them to see what they can offer, but winning close games is moronic at this point. They're not making the playoffs. They have no chance of being good this year, so why hurt your draft position? It makes no sense. Frankly they need to start selling pieces for whatever draft picks they can get. This team needs a rebuild, not a minor repair job. Sorry but nobody on that team or coaching staff is going to try and lose games. Hurting the draft position is not something that anyone but fans and media thinks about.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 08:48 AM) I think last night I hit my limit with zombie shows. 1.5 hours of The Walking Dead and it was pretty boring. YOU SIR ARE A HORRIBLE LIAR

Cutler looks both comfortable and prepared in this offense. Very rarely is he spending time telling people where to go, even the backup wide receivers

Mclellin is so much Garbage

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 09:52 AM) Sure it does. Ventura hasn't had much luck getting positive performances out of veterans. Connect the dots. It's not too hard. So you have someone who has worn out his welcome 3-4 times in different places...you have the White Sox recent history and then you have uncertainty over whether Ventura can actually help to maximize the performance of those players. Either Hahn really sucks identifying the right players or Ventura can't get them to play. Harbaugh has turned around Hoke's program in less than six months. Somehow, there has to be some positive impact from having a good manager outside the NFL and NBA. Would the Cubs be in this same exact position without Maddon? The naming game with you is always amusing. Your dot connecting even more so None of these dots you have connected have anything to do with Hanley Ramirez. He was on a team two years removed from a World Series with a manager noted to be good at working with different personalities and making them work together. In short, it isn't the manager, it's the player. But please, continue to name all kinds of different sports and players and act like it is so easy to make it work because of a coach/manager. Harbaugh turned around Michigan, but somehow managed to lose San Francisco. Weird! Ozzie worked with Carl Everett in 05, but let's not talk about 07! Weird! Ventura competed in 2012 with a team that quit on Ozzie. Weird! Connect the dots!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 08:10 AM) The assumption is that with all his baggage, he will be a disaster. Yet Ozzie got veterans guys like Everett, Jenks and AJ with bad or questionable character reps to come together and make huge contributions. Whereas all of the Sox veterans since Myers/Liriano/Hudson in 2012 have performed below previous back of the baseball card levels...with a few rare exceptions like Matt Albers this year and Youk for three weeks in that season. Crain would be another positive surprise before he fell apart physically. I guess you could count Soto, but he's just a back-up. Not one part of this has anything to do with Hanley Ramirez

Maddon is schooling Matheny today

No thanks. He seems pretty content to cash his checks and give token efforts

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 02:05 AM) I said right away in the thread I was guilty. I'm just saying any reasonable cop woulda let me off. You have clearly demonstrated that you feel wronged, and it seems to me like if we would have let you off you would probably do it again. Now, I bet you stop and wait 3 seconds at every stop sign you go through

@JimMiller: 4 highly regarded @Grantland33 staffers turned in resignations today to @ESPN and will be going to work for @BillSimmons

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 08:01 AM) Says someone who doesn't listen to Stern and know his show. Don't you have another softball championship to lose? 1/2 this season ain't bad.

Lol, the score is poison but listen to stern

Tough start for the Cubs, depending on Hammel or Hendricks to get a W in the next 3 starts is not how you want it to go
