  1. The Packers success is because of Favre and Rodgers.
  2. Their 4th this year and 2nd next year. Steep.
  3. Yeah I was going to write pray for whatever is keeping that shirt from coming apart at the seams and exposing people to Bruce Rondon topless.
  4. So basically, you should sign good players as Free Agents, and trade all your draft picks for good players, because expecting one or two or several out of any draft is not being realistic.
  5. So basically you're lucky to get 1 good player in the draft, but there are 32 teams with 53 man rosters, and short careers, with . So 95% of the NFL must suck.
  6. So Pace tried to get back into the first round late yesterday.
  7. Simple math will show that can't be true. There are about 1700 players on NFL rosters. Careers are pretty short. They can't all be first round picks.
  8. Stormy gets $130k, Melania gets flowers.
  9. The Royals are going to be awful for a very long time.
  10. Moncada is on a 44 homer, 287 strikeout pace.
  11. Yet his magazine just graded the pick an A.
  12. Sad. Condolences to RR. As someone who had had it happen , losing your mom sucks.
  13. Moncada 7-9 swinging at the first pitch.
  14. What did Mayweather and McGregor get paid? Boxing isn't what it was, but that is because they don't have as many household names as before. It isn't because it's a brutal sport. Go to a Bears game. The loudest cheers are for huge hits by Bear defenders.
  15. I don't think it means much. Obviously, you want as many available slots as you can have, and since he's been so awful, now was a good time to get him off the 40 man. Chances are he sucks and will never make it, but you never know. But no sense having him take up a spot if you can get away with him not doing so.
  16. The next team that has too much pitching will be the first. It's great the White Sox have a ton of decent pitching prospects, but a lot of those guys will either get hurt or suck. Chances are they will need to add both pitching and position players.
  17. Trump didn't get his wife a birthday gift. He's been too busy watching Fox News.
  18. People can't flip on innocent people. Cohen did very little for Trump now. LMAO. Comey is lying...Trump's lies unfortunately will never catch up to him completely. It's amazing how some can't see through this total phony of a human.
  19. Why do they say flu like symptoms? Why not just say he has the flu?
  20. There is an article in the Tribune stating the Bears have picked 8th five times and have yet to "strike gold". Then they go through them. Dennis Lick wasn't a bad player, but the one I don't understand was Wally Chambers. He made the Pro Bowl something like 4 out of 5 years, and then got traded to Tampa Bay for a draft pick used to select Dan Hampton. If that isn't striking gold, it's hard to imagine what is.
  21. For one thing, he's a pretty good fielder. An excellent baserunner, and a great hitter. i don't think he will ever be a 30 homer guy, but it wouldn't surprise me if he is like another little guy, Adam Eaton, and hits 14 or 15 homers a year. To go along with everything else, that's a pretty good ballplayer. I think being a good baseball player is occassionally overlooked in the draft, in search of off the charts tools. Teams fool themselves. Baseball is a hard game. Guys can have all the power in the world, if they can't hit, it doesn't matter. This guy can hit, and he can field, and he knows what he's doing on a baseball field. He won't get picked off of second base down 5-0, and then again get picked off of second base 3 days later with 2 on and no out. From what I've read, it doesn't appear he is on the White Sox radar. I hope they are correct. If this guy was 4 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier, he's probably the favorite to go #1.
  22. But the development staff does need to be questioned. If Mike Trout gets drafted by the Sox, is he a HOFer? Are Mitchell and Hawkins legit major leaguers if some other team drafted them? It probably all falls pretty much as it did in reality. But questioning it IMO is legitmate.
  23. We will see with Collins. Hostetler, and it could have been just lip service, did say he would have taken him 1-1.
