QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 05:47 PM) And you have knowingly signed up for a dangerous job. If you are the reporter at Vogue covering the Paris fashion scene does Vogue have the right to put your life in danger by publishing those cartoons? I'm discussing if another news organization decided to republish the materials. Alpha said that CNN and others were wrong for not publishing the cartoons. So my point is more does Vogue have the right to publish those cartoons and put their fashion reporters live's in danger? Alpha believes that CNN, Fox, etc should all publish the cartoon if they are reporting on the story. I disagree. I think those other groups could report the story without the cartoons and the added life risking implications they may cause. I agree if you are working for certain publications, you must understand the risks. Where do you draw the line? Every time a terrorist tells you he is offended by something then you refuse to acknowledge it?

The employer isn't necessarily putting them in danger. These cartoonists are drawing their own cartoons, they aren't being mandated to draw them. The newspaper has an identity, everyone knows what that identity is. People who work for TMZ know that they are dealing with the seedy side of Hollywood, people that work at Vogue magazine know they are dealing with fashion, people that work at hustler know they are dealing with porn, and the people at CH know that they deal with satire, and a lot of it has to do with religion. And it isn't the first time they have been attacked, everyone in that building understood the risks.

It doesn't bother me. He knows who the big dog is in this division. And if you can't beat them, then you likely aren't going to the playoffs

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 04:24 PM) It's a 90s movie and it's awesome. Lmao. It is really awesome, another one of Terry Gilliams mind benders. Not sure how it will translate to a series given how the movie turned out, but I will give it a shot

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 04:21 PM) Does anyone really think that Emery didn't have full control? Just curious, cause I absolutely think Emery was fully in charge. I think the only real thing that changed this year is that they fully admitted it and took much more insights from real NFL consultants. I absolutely believe he had full control. Say what you want about Phillips in a personnel hiring capacity, but I seriously doubt he would have preferred Emery throwing around money like he did, and if he had his say it probably would have been a touch bit more conservative

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) Why couldnt he have slid out of any football role before the search? Obviously he is a big crutch for McCaskey, and has been for quite some time.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) I never said Ballard was good at the end of the day Phillips and McCaskey are still in the same spot. Nothing has changed my mind on that. It is same old Bears If they gave a s*** Ted Phillips would not be team President. Yea this is totally a same old Bears move.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) If they want to go about changing things Phillips will go the way of Crane Kenny. I am hoping after the GM and coach are in place that is what happens. George - GM- Coach. Bernstein and Hub both keep insisting that this is the case, he will quietly slide out of any football role in the next few months

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 04:12 PM) I fully expected that. I think Emery did as well as did Angelo (until Lovie received his extention at which point Lovie got more control and coincidentally, Angelo started to struggle). It's not even a secret anymore that Lovie had a heavy hand in drafting after the super bowl and it led to the Afalavas and Okwos. Ultimately Angelo makes the pick and it goes on his record, but I absolutely agree that Lovies new contract and subsequent draft failures are not coincidental

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) damn yourself kyle! I have heard this a lot lately

This hire no matter who it was, was damned if you do, damned if you don't

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) Ballard knew after 12 years here where the skeletons of this mess of a franchise were hidden and management does not want to give real power to anyone not connected to a McCaskey. If Ballard pulled out good for him. Lmao this is such an about face for you. Before this hire all you could do was complain same ole same ole Bears don't hire anyone they don't know blah blah. Now when they do, you act like Ballard would have been good to come in and fix it because he has been here and knows where the skeletons are and the McCaskeys want all the power.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 03:20 PM) Why is David Haugh just snubbing Rick Hahn like that? Ha, I noticed the same thing. Had to mention Theo even though theo isn't the GM

Twitter saying that Pace is taking part in interviewing Bowles today. Jump right in

oh nos, cousin eddy really will have to live in the motorhome

thats what you get for doubting GAGES SOURCES BMAGS

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 11:30 AM) Garbage before garbage. I cant think of a director (or directors) that hit the scene with such a good movie like the Matrix only to follow it with as many duds as the Wachowskis have. And somehow studios keep writing huge checks to them

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 11:03 AM) Yes you interview with all sorts of people and the opinions are weighed and eventually the buck stops with the person in need of the person to be hired, who has the most knowledge of the role the person will fill. If when the GM is hired all of these interviews take place again you are correct and the process is as you are pointing out. What would think if you went into a company and they interviewed you and at the end they said. Thank you for your time but this process meant nothing as the hiring manager is not yet employed. Ted and George are interviewing a person for a job that they are not qualified to hire them for. Recruiters can send people to you to hire all of the time and the person that hires them should have knowledge of the position they will file. I guess I am just jaded in thinking that Ted and George should not be the sole interviewing parties. This whole process seems like they went into it blindly and had no ideas of what the process would be. Same as the last GM and coaching hire. All of this work to find the right candidate because they had no clue who they wanted and then had no ability to find the right candidates anyway. But if you are being interviewed by the President and CEO, it really doesnt matter. You are jaded, but i dont fault you for it because the Bears have made a lot of mistakes. Hopefully they get things right this time.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 10:58 AM) Saw this on another board. This is from someone who "supposedly" has a close connection to someone within the Bears organization. Take it for what you will, but the individual indicates the Bears will announce they have hired Pace prior to interviewing Bowles. Evidently he blew the Bears away. I am still hoping it is Ballard. If that is the case, i wonder if Ballard has any regrets about telling everyone he is not interested

For those that care, which is not many in this thread, a Batman vs Superman trailer is supposed to come out when Jupiter Ascending is released.

lol. Oh Jason In regards to that rotation, one of the things i remember about the 94 season was that McDowell and Fernandez started the season rather mediocre, but Alvarez and Bere started the season undefeated for like a month and a half, which nobody expected.

I didnt think Accorsi was supposed to be the interviewer, he was supposed to provide Philips and McCaskey candidates and info on them.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 7, 2015 -> 09:17 PM) Did the Bears win yet They got participation trophies

Bowles was supposed to interview with the Falcons tomorrow, but instead will interview with the Bears, and then Falcons on Saturday
