QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 25, 2015 -> 09:05 AM) His assertion that Pace went about this in a psychotic way...actually, i'm struggling to even see in his debased mind what pace did wrong in the process of this signing. I don't like this signing, i hate the mindset of football organizations that don't care how the employees of their billion dollar product may bulldoze people and use their influence to get out of it, but getting internal buy-in for a move you know is not a run-of-the-mill signing, and getting everyone to stand behind it is a sign of a well-run organization, not a bad one. The idea that this could be a bad sign about pace, and not be referencing judgement in signing McDonald is ridiculous. The thing about this to me is that it is a depth move. If McDonald f-s up, he is gone, very little financial hit. It isnt like they just went and signed Hardy for a max contract and raised their middle finger to the world. Is it a PR hit? absolutely. I cringed when they played Pace's opening press conference and he said he was going to stress character. That sound bite will be played ad nauseum by B&B for the rest of the season. But this is a league of questionable people, you cannot avoid them. You want them to be good people, but sometimes they are not.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Mar 25, 2015 -> 09:04 AM) Yes this is sport that he tells everyone kills people because of the head trauma and then cannot believe that some of those playing the game appear to less than model citizens. He really should jsut say because o fthe nature of this sport and its participants he will no longer talk about the NFL. He also says that he doesnt mind that these people are killing themselves for his entertainment

Its funny how Bernstein has gone from not really liking but understanding the McDonald move at the beginning of his show yesterday, and now has gone full b**** on twitter about it now.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 24, 2015 -> 01:17 PM) From a checkered past, if McDonald truly has video evidence proving his innocence, than he isn't even in the same stratosphere as Brandon. Brandon has made significant changes in his life but the guy's rap sheet and his life prior to that was a complete an utter disaster. You think about the stuff people say about Dez and Marshall was probably worse. They all have checkered pasts, but McDonald and Bryant didnt hold random meandering press conferences and get into fights with the kicker and have locker room cancer labels.

i almost wish they could get a HBO/Showtime/Amazon/Netflix run as opposed to Fox. Get full reign to make it how you want, dont worry about any sort of censorship, and just run with it.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 24, 2015 -> 12:47 PM) McDonald sexual assault case is going nowhere. He's suing his accuser and claims that his home surveillance system will prove that they had consensual sex. He's an upgrade at 5 technique for sure though. Ka'Deem Carey assaulted his then pregnant girlfriend while at Arizona. I'm waiting for the backlash at him as well. It's a completely different point but many of the same people who wanted Brandon Marshall to remain a Bear want no part of McDonald. Tad bit ridiculous. i dont want distractions(and i dont want McDonald), but I think that Marshall is in a different stratosphere than McDonald in that regard.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 24, 2015 -> 09:49 AM) Bears are going to sign Jenkins pending a physical. Jenkins is recruiting Foster as well and that is proven on twitter. Lemming is the only one tweeting about McDonald so far. But if Bears do sign all 3, I really think this makes Bears go WR at #7 with either Cooper or White. Lemming has been pretty on point all offseason QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 24, 2015 -> 09:54 AM) Are you guys disliking a McDonald signing because of his off the field stuff or the on the field play? not really thrilled with a guy who (allegedly) beat a pregnant girlfriend and also was a suspect in a sexual assault

Official Squared Circle Thread
the only thing i didnt like about the ending was Lesnar and Reigns pulling on the belt like kids playing tug of war with a toy and fading out. Everything leading up to it was awesome, Heymans promo was awesome, Reigns boos werent nearly as bad as you think they were, and Reigns snatching the belt out of Lesnars hand was pretty awesome. It should have ended with either a spear or an F5, not a fade out

QUOTE (oldsox @ Mar 23, 2015 -> 01:05 PM) I'm not piling on Davidson, Jimmy. I just think it was a lousy trade and said so here the day after it happened. Since then, a lot of others have been far more critical of Davidson than myself. You take every opportunity to pile on Davidson. Every. Opportunity. I sincerely hope your dog recovered from the kick.

Guys get into Astrodome
QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 23, 2015 -> 07:21 AM) Always wondered what they did with old stadiums. I guess they just let them rot, as in the case of this and the Silverdome. It's a shame. I think a lot of the time they are hoping that the stadiums will be repurposed for events. I could have sworn that was the original idea for the astrodome, they were going to try and turn it into a conference center/events center. But if you dont get investors, what can you do? And it costs money to tear these things down, so they just let them rot. I think the silverdome had things in it for a while after the Lions moved out, monster truck rallys and motocross races.
