QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 04:14 PM) Damnit...I wanted Jimmy Raye....I hope this is false... Multiple reports/tweets said that Raye was told this morning he was no longer in the running.

Hmm, I was definitely pulling for Licht or Ross. OL, WR, S - 3 positions the Bears have struggled a lot with recently.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) With the Aussie crowd going to be very anti-Berdych he doesn't have a chance. Plus he's not playing that well. He needed 4 sets and 3 tiebreakers last round. Doesn't get much closer than that. It'll be important for him to get off to a good start and try to nullify the crowd as much as possible. And that's definitely not an impossible task against Nadal. Berdych has the tools to beat anyone, but if he has the mental aptitude to hang with the elite for 5 sets, we haven't seen it yet.

Vince Wilfork. And it's not close.

So I don't really know which of the 5 candidates I'd like to be the next Bears GM. I DO know that I hope it's not Ruskell, but I'm kinda leaning towards Licht or Ross because of their backgrounds. I hope the Bears announce it soon.

Honestly, I'd rather have all the banged up guys sit today against the Nets too.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 08:25 AM) Well Hewitt is giving us a game, I'm glad because up to this point it seemed the top4 seeds were gliding through without the slightest bit of a challenge. Pretty shocked at how he turned things around down 2 sets and 3-0 in the 3rd. Once the crowd got involved, you knew it was inevitable he was going to make some things happen. All of the sudden he was getting to balls that he had no business of getting to and he gave Djokovic a taste of his own medicine in making him have to hit one or 2 extra balls. So many good matchups in the quarterfinals. With how well Berdych is playing, I wouldn't be surprised to see him beat Rafa, but I also wouldn't be shocked if Rafa won in 3 easy sets. I think DelPo has a much better chance against Fed.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 06:00 AM) Anyone paying attention to the Australian Open? I'm hoping Nadal comes back with a force this year and since Serena is out rooting for Sharapova. I was debating about starting a thread but figured no one gave a s***. Getting ready to watch Djokovic/Hewitt coming up live in a few. A bunch of surprises today with Tsonga and Serena losing. Federer/Del Potro should (hopefully) be a great match. And I don't see Serb going anywhere. Nole has lost just 8 games in the first 3 rounds. And actually, there's a 2nd Serb in the top 10 now with Tipsarevic.

Finally caught up on Dexter. Just finished season 6. HOLY s***!

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 12:07 AM) Theyre nowhere near as far off with receiving weapons as a lot of teams in the NFL. I can't say that I really agree with you. Ginn is the king of drops. Crabtree has been a major disappointment thus far. Kyle Williams? Brett Swain? Luckily they have Vernon Davis and Delanie Walker is a nice backup TE too.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jan 22, 2012 -> 11:32 PM) Crabtree, Davis and Gore is a good start in terms of weapons so I dont think the Niners are far off at all. Give them a suitable number 2 wr and they will be in good shape for a few years. It also helps they play in that awful division. I think they should get a #1 WR before they go after a #2.... And I'm surprised to see how little criticism Alex Smith has gotten for tonight's game. He was pretty awful.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 22, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) Two outstanding defenses get crushed by their offenses not scoring enough points. Sounds familiar in Chicago. Nice. Because the offense was so bad when Cutler/Forte were healthy.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jan 22, 2012 -> 10:31 PM) Would you rather be Billy Cundiff or Kyle Williams right now? Cundiff makes 3mil, so probably him.

Ouch, Kyle Williams.

So this is a great 49ers D. And a s***ty 49ers O.

I love Ed Hochuli.

That was the worst drive in NFL history with a Super Bowl appearance on the line. Like, Caleb Hanie bad.

Seriously, how are the 49ers tied with the Giants right now? 0-12 now on 3rd downs. ONE catch by a WR and it's for 2 yards.

LOL nice throw on the move, Alex Smith.

Horrible rule/call. That was a fumble.

That helped.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 22, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) Vernon Davis is the LeBron of football. A truly unique physical specimen that you see every 15-20 years or so. I'll never forget the Click-Clack Under Armour commercials they unveiled when he entered the draft. The guy is a specimen.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 22, 2012 -> 08:50 PM) I figured that's why you were jealous. Ha, more so jealous that the Bears don't have anyone on offense who is a weapon like that and can create mismatches on anyone.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 22, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) He is about your size. My 6'6, 230 doesn't look QUITE like that.

Vernon Davis just makes me jealous.
