QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 09:10 AM) IMO, hitting on a solid first round pick doesn't mean a guy still isn't an overdraft. If he was the only one and was still a hit we wouldn't have a problem, but particularly with first rounders, drafting guys he likes that he could potentially have moved down and gotten is definitely a pattern with Emery. Long is already a two time pro bowler. It was thought as an overdraft when it happened, most analysts have backtracked on that and admitted that it was a very good pick

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 05:55 AM) the late great Bill Veeck, they don't make baseball men like that anymore. I'm glad he was a part of white Sox history. thanks, douglas Thats because most organizations have switched from creating a circus in order to draw fans to trying to win baseball games to draw fans. Again, it has been said before in this thread, why are you more concerned about the Sox being a headline silly story than winning games? If a manager and general manager creates a team that wins games, the headlines will be there regardless, without the drama

everyone doubted George McCaskey had the balls to eat 16 million bucks. Well, he just did it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 08:50 AM) On the radio they called him Ray Emery. THE RAZOR

Gotta wonder if Ted Phillips skates away clean

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 06:54 AM) Moving the board is no big deal. Spending millions to add to capacity when the park is nowhere near full as it is, a big deal. Besides, with the Stadium Club, that upper deck would have to be set back a pretty good distance. Home run porch would be a bad name. It would take a bomb to get up there. you would have to think if something like that was implemented(and it wont be), it would have to hang over the lower deck. It still would take a bigtime bomb to get it up there though

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 07:41 AM) I think Rex Ryan would be a top NFL head coach if he had any offensive imagination. The Bears already went down that road with Lovie Smith, I'm not ready for a repeat. At the same time, he has been saddled with very little offensive talent his entire time in NY. Im fine with it if he gets a strong OC.

@RapSheet: The #Jets announce that Woody Johnson has told GM John Idzik and Rex Ryan that they have been fired

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 12:44 AM) Just did a marathon viewing session of True Detective for the first time. Holy hell, that was some of the best TV I've watched. It's a really awesome show, I have my doubts that they will be able to recreate that magic

Uh oh Packers

@kfishbain: Last time the Bears picked 7th in the draft, they picked WR Curtis Conway. #TheMoreYouKnow

Aaaaaaand roll credits

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 28, 2014 -> 09:32 AM) Thanks guys. I've been in accidents before (one with my car almost just as totaled.. but that was dealing with that horrible snow storm and just losing control and hitting a guard rail) but that was by far the scariest/worst s*** I've ever been though. Still sore as f***. I probably should go to the hospital, but I'm a stubborn mule. I feel just awful for my buddy though. Hope he isn't too depressed. So what happened? Also, hopefully the guy had insurance and that isn't why he ran

So do the Bears actually try today, or do we go into straight IDGAF mode to close out the Trestman situation

It's hilarious that Castro was cleared in his first foray into club-shooting-up. So then he went and did it again less than a month later. It really makes you wonder about that possible rape situation last season

Really good game at the UC right now

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) His whole problem isn't talent, it is staying healthy., And smoking pot

@suntimes_hoops: Hinrich and McDermott out. Everyone else is a go.

@ProFootballTalk: Full-blown Bears house cleaning could be coming http://t.co/jur9rvc845

Didn't UNC's coach say no to UM?

I know they fart.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 10:38 AM) If Garza re-signing means Emery is back, I cannot believe the Bears would let Phil Emery select another head coach. I really don't think it is any sort of proof that Emery stays. I think it is a formality one year deal for a team leader that has been around for a while. If he started slinging around multi year deals, I would get worried

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 10:41 AM) I believe UM still has to pay his buyout but obviously they cannot give them picks. And the buyout is really not a big deal. NFL teams are printing money, it's not like SF is strapped for cash. The picks are the important thing

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 10:35 AM) I think it's the other way around. If he is fired he goes to Oakland. If SF wants compensation he goes to Michigan. If NFL teams are allowed to openly bid on his services that is bad for Michigan. They need him to sign to today. The compensation will be in the form of draft picks, I don't think SF is going to hold on to him so people will send them money compensation. The thing is, San Francisco can do what they want, he is under contract. If they are really concerned about him going to another NFL team, they are gonna force that team to pay out the nose. If he is going to sign with UM, well they might as well fire him because UM cannot offer any sort of compensation. I'm curious how they can get reassurance that he signs with UM though. I suppose they could fire him and he can say "haha suckers, I'm going to Oakland/Chicago/whoever"
