QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 04:18 PM) Like I said, complete disagree but it's a matter of opinion. Completely agree with this. Also for any of you guys that like Indy wrestling, I just grabbed tix for the evolve show on the Saturday before mania. That'll probably be the 2nd best show of the weekend behind NXT. I don't really follow evolve for whatever reason, but I looked at the event(In Dallas?) and your in for a treat with Zack Sabre Jr. ANd Tommy Ends. I've heard a ton of good things about Timothy Thatcher as well. I'd be willing to bet Sabre signs with WWE at some point.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Jack and Trevathan both would play Jack LB spot under Fangio. I honestly hope the Bears can take Jaylon Smith at 11. He's reportedly going to be back in season and if so would be excellent pick at #11. I think the Bears will trade Bennett and end up with 10-11 draft picks. Some free agents to possibly target: LB Danny Trevathan, DL Malik Jackson, OLB Mike Neal, CB Leonard Johnson, OL Brandon Brooks. I think they get one of the free agent TE's as well: Dwayne Allen or LaDarius Green. I think Jack and Trev can play next to eachother. Can't seem to find the article, but I'm fairly certain Unread an article where Fangio had both Bowman and Willis essentially both doing what a "Jack LB" would do. Both dropped into coverage more than any other ILB, and that's what I'd like to see done here with Jack and Trev.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) Pretty excited about the draft. I'm excited for the off-season as a whole. Bears can do some serious damage if everything breaks right. Give me Trevethon and Kelechi Osemele in FA. (Malik Jackson would be nice as well but I'm not sure they can get all 3.) Using This 4 round mock from NFL.com, I would then like.. 1. Myles Jack LB UCLA- Jack paired with Trev would give the Bears the same type of dynamic the Broncos had with Trev and Marshall. It would also eliminate what I thought was the biggest hole in the defense, and that's the middle of the 2nd level in the passing game. 2. Adolphus Washington DL OSU- Rock, does he have the strength to play the 5 in a 3-4? He's got good length, and he certainly looked impressive at the senior bowl......This draft has Nkemdiche falling to the 2R. Washington has a red flag as well, but he seems rather mature in the way he's owned up to it. 3. Jalen Mills S/CB LSU- This kid was on point in one on one drills at the senior bowl. He played S last year but has previously played CB. I think the Bears bring Porter back, play Mills at FS, then reevaluate the following year(or after an injury) where they want Mills. I think hes solid at both. 4. Harlan Miller CB SE Lou- Even if the do bring back Porter, CB is paper thin. Fuller, Porter, and Callhoun looked solid at times, but past that there's a lot of suck. Miller is yet another guy who really stood out at the senior bowl. DL- Washington-Goldman-Ego LB- McPhee-Jack-Trev-Houston CB- Fuller-Porter-Callhoun-Miller S- Amos-Mills. I like that D.

Man I sure hope to see Malik Jackson and/or Danny Trevethon come to Chicago next year.

I'm hoping they just have Yadiel Hernandez in their back pocket waiting for him to post. He's a former teammate of Jose's and they're around the same age, so it wouldn't surprise me if they're friends or still talk so hopefully there is some recruiting going on to make sure the Sox don't lose that bid.

There's no way he gets a job next year right?

Superback is essentially an H-Back. He played all over. Full back, inline, outside. He's got great hands and knows how to find the soft spot. Solid blocker as well. Here's tape from the Duke game. Gives you a better idea of how he was used vs just those highlights. Not his best game numbers wise, but you can see in the other video that he is certainly capable of being a threat.

Bears interviewed Dan Vitale at the Senior Bowl. As a Wildcat fan I would absolutely love to see him brought in. He's been my favorite player these last 4 years. Love the role he played and would love to see that "Superback" role brought into the Bears offense.

Not a good year to lose your #1 WR. WR draft class looks booty, and the FA market is meh.....Unless AJ hits the market which he shouldn't.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 30, 2016 -> 06:54 PM) Read where Levine said the Cubs might trade Coghlan instead of Soler if they get Fowler Is Shwarber catching? Soler the 4th OF? Can't see them paying Fowler a good amount to be the 4th OF.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 29, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) It's not about Cespedes -- it's about getting a RF when the market was flush with RF options and their prices were low. They need to get ONE of them, and they've whiffed on them all so far. I'm sure this has been said a million times, but I've been trying to avoid the talks knowing the talk wouldn't be fun, so I'll add to the times it's been said.......It appears to me they keyed in on Cespedes and let the rest of the market pass them. It sucks, but if true, there's nothing you can do.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 10:36 PM) He said that he likes the pitching and IF the can score runs and IF they catch the ball they could be dangerous. I think he is dead on balls accurate. (It's an industry term) Exactly. Some people just love to overreact to every little thing.

Def gonna grab me one of those hats (I would prefer it without the AZ logo but meh). (While there is talk of WSI, those who think that site blows should avoid the Pride and Passion FB page)

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 08:34 PM) NXT tapings tonight that lead all the way up to mania and holy hell that takeover card is the best thing ever. I typically hate reading spoilers but couldn't resist, and ermahgerd! That Zayn match is gonna be a lot of fun.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) Anything now with what is left is not a difference maker and a letdown. Move on-incomplete as usual Don't discount what a difference having 2 guys who get on base at a good clip in front of Abreu/Fraizer would make. I would rather take a chance on Yadiel Hernandez for the same reason, but Fowler is proven to be that guy.

I'm not a huge fan of giving up the pick, but Fowler makes a ton of sense. I would prefer Melky down in the lineup.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) They already overspent their allotment, and there are no escalating penalties. Since they will be penalized next two years makes sense to go all out. Sox meanwhile, have not gone over, so this would put them over in that category. Therefore, would have been smarter for cubs to do it after signing like, 300 players, than sox with their 7-8 person class. How steep are the penalties? This guy worth it?

Refresh my memory. Why is it the Cubs and Dodgers have a leg up?

I'm still highly intrigued by Yadiel Hernandez. He's got a career .449 OBP over in Cuba, OBP over .500 last year. That obviously won't translate over here to that extent, but as a frame of reference, Abreu had a career .456 OBP. Abreu also took a ton of intential walks which boosted that number. Looks like he might be a solid #2 and it would allow Melky to drop to balance out the lineup.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 12:33 AM) And undercard with Styles vs KO, Charlotte vs Sasha is a good start Also gonna be interesting where Ambrose and Kalisto go. Hoping they move from ADR and Kalisto. Heel Neville vs Kalisto would be fun. Then of course New Day is always must see TV. Are they failing to push some of these good midcarders into the main event picture? Yes. Is there still plenty of s*** worth tuning into? Absolutely.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 11:35 PM) Sorry to spam up thread but I now would be fully shocked if Daniel Bryan ever returns to a WWE ring. Wouldn't shock me either way. I don't think they wanted to bring him back for Rumble so the fans wouldn't s*** on everyone else. I don't think he'll simply fade away without saying he's done though. Until that happens, I think he'll be back.

I've actually been a fan of HHH on the mic, and I loves me some Steph so it's whatever. I'm a fan of wrestling, and so long as there is some quality wrestling/wrestlers on the undercard, I'll still watch.

Meh.

Knew it was coming and still got chills

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 09:50 PM) Mine is fine. Sucks for you. Missed biggest pop of night. HERE WE GO!!! Back up now. I heard Sasha's pop, froze up after she kicked Becky out, something happen after that?
