I heard one of the problems is they love the renovation of Halas Hall, and Pace had a lot to do with that. So they ignore all his missteps with the football team, and just love him.

Keep in mind they fired Lovie after going 10-6. It was playoffs and the Packers. They "made" the playoffs last year, but haven't won a playoff game since Pace has been here and Nagy as well. And have been dominanted by the Packers. They both need to go. George needs to hire a football guy and he and Ted need to get out of the way.

When the Sox traded Escobar to Minnesota, he was so upset, he cried. Maybe he is buddies with someone on the Mets, or doesn't want anything to do with LaRussa, which would be odd since the Mets had no manager at the time, but other than that, if the money was the same, I would think the Sox would have landed him.

Lux is another guy I find to be a bit overrated. He put up huge numbers in leagues everyone puts up huge numbers. He is young though, but it wouldn't surprise me if he put up a sub .700 OPS in 2022.

Despite missing most of the season, Madrigal put up an fWAR higher than McNeil and McCann combined. It's amazing how much love these players get.

I’m sure they had interest in him, but when they had an idea of the cost, they walked away, They were out quickly with Harper but did meet with him. The way Boras operates drives JR nuts. I really doubt the Sox will ever sign a huge FA represented by Boras until JR is out of the picture.

I'm pretty sure Caruso is the only Bulls player who hasn't had Covid. If the natural antibodies stay around for several months plus the vaccine, you would think the Bulls are in pretty good shape the rest of the season. Of course, outbreaks on other teams causing re-scheduling could make it difficult. Stacey King is back on Wednesday. He had it bad. In bed for 16 days, and that's fully vaxxed. Probably would have killed him if no vaccine. He lost his brother to it. He's a big guy, and that is one of the worst things for this.

You can say RH is a bad GM, but the one thing you can't say is he is a mouthbreather. Mouthbreathers don't graduate from Michigan, get a law degree at Harvard and an MBA at NU.

There is no doubt in my mind, he is one of a few on this board who would rather have the team suck so they can b**** and moan all day than actually be good. Although he does seem to have all the answers. Amazing he is posting on a message board and not collection Executive of the Year hardware every year.

Which would make the Kimbrel trade more pitiful. And some haven't learned their lesson yet, and want the Sox to trade Vaughn. The Sox need a few cheap productive players or a new owner if you don't want the "windows to quickly close.

He's 30 years old, 2021 might no have been a fluke.

Its funny a guy with 245 minor league plate appearances in 2019 and a camp in 2020 is supposed to come to the major leagues in 2021 as a finished product, all the while playing out of position. The guy is going to be a great hitter. He showed it after a tough start. He ended poorly. It could have been an injury or it could be he hit a wall as he never played that many games in his life.

Bears have 4 playoff victories the last 30 seasons. The only teams with less are Washington with 3 and Cincinnati and Detroit with 0.

As some point though, it really doesn't matter if you're a billionaire, or you simply have enough money to do whatever you want the rest of your life. I know most want to leave their kids something, their grandchildren something., and many players if not most, will be able to do that even if they "retired" at 35. The fact is, we are the stooges. We throw money at both the owners and the players. We don't retire at 35. We don't complain we have to make a few lifetimes of what most who really fund this endeavor for 6 months of work. All to be enertained. And when they can't decide how to split the money we throw at them, the entertaining stops. Maybe it's time the fans looked at themselves in a mirror. Both parties suck in many ways.

Here's what I don't understand. How do they know it is going to make them a ton of money when it's sold? It's a business. If it's almost impossible to make money until the business is sold, it's not going to keep increasing in value, especially not at the rate it is increasing. I will believe they are struggling financially when one team is actually forced to either sell or go out of business because business is so bad.

Vaughn shouldn't be traded for a guy who has hit under .200 the last 2 seasons combined, with 2 years of control at more than $15 million per year. If Bellinger was a White Sox, you would hate him, and would be whining why didn't Hahn trade him when he was MVP.

Coming soon to GRF, Wrigley ,Soldier Field and the United Center...............sportsbooks. Go to the game, Place your bets.

The supposed reason JR was the only owner to vote against Manfred was that he believed he was too soft towards the players' union.

Think about how excited everyone would have been if the Bears fired Nagy a year ago, and replaced him with Meyer. That's why, IMO, college coaches are a crapshoot. You may hit the jackpot, but you also may crap out. Was it really coaching or recruiting that made OSU so great?

The Steelers have only had 3 head coaches since the end of the 1968 season.

The funny thing is every team has multiple hitting and pitching coaches now, even LaRussa. Much like Einhorn with the PPV, Hawk’s thought was just too far ahead of its time. But it was a circus. Talking to Martin was fine, but it was pretty public. I remember they met with him at O’Hare, and there were TV crews there. This was before the Internet or it may have been even a bigger spectacle. I am not and never was a LaRussa guy, but publicly wooing Martin was so wrong.

I heard it had to do with the state of the Sox farm system. They had a chance in 1985 but when someone got hurt, everyone they brought up didn't belong in the major leagues. I guess Hawk had a plan and JR bought it.

I sat next to him at a spring training game against the Yankees back in the 80s. He was really nice and was telling me and my dad about failed trades etc. The Sox won and Roland said at the end it was always nice to beat George even in spring training. Every nice thing thar was said about him is probably true based on 3 hours around him. RIP.

Next 2 games ppd. Finally common sense.

It's ridiculous. There is a pretty decent chance at least a couple of the remaining 8 are going to be positive soon. Having them play another team and exposing them isn't going to help .
