Where is zenyran with a scouting report when you need him? I vaguely remember him clowning Glennon when I thought his numbers looked OK.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 01:14 PM) Agreed. It's all about the guaranteed money for me. Due to several draft misses in 2014/2015, we don't have many folks up for big contract renewal in the next 2 years. So let's say Glennon gets $30M guaranteed over 2 years (which I still think is bad, but hear me out...), we have so much cap space that it doesn't hurt us much. Where else are we going to spend that money? Fuller? No. Ferguson? No. Sutton? No. Carey? No. Grasu? No. Langford? No. Amos. No. White? Maybe. Goldman. Probably. Alshon Jeffrey? Oh, never mind

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 12:59 PM) Wow, Tyrod Taylor staying in Buffalo, restructured contract Also, Romo getting outright release tomorrow Denver and Houston, your tables are ready.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 12:51 PM) I mean, you say "But politics". Look at what you did. Poster A points out something Trump said that was not only misogynist, but also seemed to say he was OK with sexual assault. Your response is, yeah, but some other politician in the other party said something stupid but less offensive! What does that accomplish, other than furthering the partisan noise? BS didn't talk about the GOP (in this case). He talked about one specific person. And I am talking about one specific person. Nancy Pelosi.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 12:01 PM) BJ jokes may be inappropriate, but sexual assault and bragging about how you can get away with it because of your wealth is much, much worse. Absolutely. Just would have been nice to hear a female in power say, "He shouldn't have said that about a fellow colleague", instead of "Well, her boss is a bigger asshole!". But politics.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 11:30 AM) Since it's Internationa Women's Day, remember this famous quote from our President: Since it is Women's Day, let's also remember when the female House Minority Leader used that quote to justify blowjob jokes from Congressmen about female White House staff.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 08:09 AM) Unfortunately there aren't too many Jewish ballplayers these days so they had to be lenient in order to put together a team. I'm rooting for them for sure. #JewCrew Pretty good article by Passan about how the #JewCrew was put together http://sports.yahoo.com/news/lox-to-advanc...-152318561.html

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 10:29 AM) Supposedly it's 3 years/45 million for Glennon lol. All about guaranteed money though. I'm guessing it's only 1 year of guaranteed money. f*** that, I'd rather have Jay for the same money

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 09:11 AM) Brandon Marshall is a Giant. 2 yrs, 12 million. He's a great complement to ODB. For a year or two, until s*** gets crazy. Cause it always gets crazy with Marshall.

The player is qualified for citizenship or to hold a passport under the laws of a nation represented by a team, but has not been granted citizenship or been issued a passport, then the player may be made eligible by WBCI upon petition by the player or team.

The player has one parent who was born in the nation or territory the team represents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Baseball_Classic Dylan Axelrod's grandpa is Jewish. Not sure where that lands on the eligibility list but it earned him a roster spot. That's how most of the roster was put together.

That was kind of a given once Shanahan went to SF. OCs just love guys who know their system

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2017 -> 08:45 AM) Glennon will be the Bears' next starting QB at about $15 million per. Glennon sucks. Or keep Jay Cutler for a $16 million cap hit. Option B sounds smarter.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 7, 2017 -> 11:34 AM) Not sure what I was expecting but all the FA's connected with the Bears are pretty underwhelming. Especially if they are going to be giving out larger contracts to these guys. But what do I know? There just aren't that many top notch free agents available. With the franchise tag available, teams just don't let players in their prime get away. Most of the time they do hit free agency past 30, so suddenly it's a big gamble.

From a Vikings blog, this would be OK if he is only a returner. But as a top 3 receiver, just no, no, no. The Daily Norseman‏ @DailyNorseman Follow More Report: #Bears expected to pursue Cordarrelle Patterson #Vikings #NFLFreeAgency

It's not officially baseball season until Scott Kazmir goes down with an injury

Panarin issued an apology statement, Julie DiCaro's favorite Hawks blog pats themselves on the back, and we can all move on with our lives now.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) So yeah, outcome was good, but the fans were real annoying. Later all the bars were packed with Hawks fans and I don't know if I saw more than 4 or 5 Predators jerseys out after the game. I don't know if Hawks fans drank all the bars out of their kegs like we did 3 years ago, but the DJ at the TinRoof made a reference to it. And as I noticed last time, Nashville is such a surprisingly clean and safe-seeming city, at least downtown. Broadway is as touristy as it gets, I think local Nashvillians avoid it as much as possible

Team "Israel" is pretty lenient with their requirements. "My dad once dated a Jewish woman." Welcome aboard, kid!

It is kind of crazy how they start the year, the first 5 homestands are followed by longer road trips 6 games home 9 games away 6 games home 10 games away 6 games home 10 games away 6 games home 9 games away 4 games home 6 games away

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 01:27 PM) And it's also foolproof. It will be a success no matter what. No one from these countries has harmed a US citizen on American soil in over 40 years. If it makes it to 44, Trump was the one who kept everyone safe. It will be interesting to see what the majority of republican politicians do once Obamacare is gone and tax cuts approved. They can't continue to accept the constant nonsense. I think you mean killed, not harmed, because there were a couple attacks from Somalian refugees last year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Minnesota_mall_stabbing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Ohio_Sta...iversity_attack

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 12:58 PM) Holy hell, that article. Who is this pud? Do people actually respect him in the Blackhawks community? This is the first I'm hearing about him. In terms of the video, there isn't a ton to even say. It was an offensive remark made by a 20 year old kid doing a nothing YouTube video, in a completely different cultural environment. For that idiot writer to compare him to the transgressions of Bobby Hull's past is insane. I'd be shocked if this makes the "mainstream" news. I thought they had some kind of a following cause of the Committed Indian newsletter they sold outside the arena, but I may have completely overestimated that. I do find some of their hockey analysis insightful, but recently it's been so much holier than thou bulls*** like this article, which you perfectly summarize. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 01:12 PM) That whole write up struck me as revenge porn, without the porn. Yet the writers are still proud season ticket holders!
