QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 12:38 PM) I think even if they got Manning, at best they are an average team. Doesn't matter, cause there is about a 0% chance they are getting Manning. Peyton Manning has made the playoffs in every season he has played since 2002. Were every single one of those rosters that much better than the Bears' roster? Doubt it. I know he's getting old, but he still would make them a playoff team IMO.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 12:22 PM) Manning is not going to spend his last year playing for a bad Bears team. With Manning as the starting QB, it wouldn't be a bad Bears team anymore.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 10:47 AM) Greg Gabriel ‏@greggabe 49s49 seconds ago If John Fox becomes the next Bears coach you can bet that the Glaze @JayGlazer will have it first Extremely valid point since Fox and Glazer are close friends. Is "the Glaze" actually a reporter or just Johnny Chase to the entire NFL?

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) Not yet, but if the scenario that I laid out earlier plays out I really need you to explain to me why two of these guys are first ballot Hall of Famers and why one of them is not even close. Player A - 305-203, 3.54 ERA, 118 ERA+, 4413.1 IP, 2607 K, 1.314 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9, 5.3 K/9, 1.74 K/BB, 64.3 fWAR - Part of Braves pitching "dynasty" Player B - 213-155, 3.33 ERA, 125 ERA+, 3473 IP, 3084 K, 1.176 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9, 8.0 K/9, 3.05 K/BB, 78.7 fWAR, 154 saves - Part of Braves pitching "dynasty" Player C - 263-207, 3.81 ERA, 117 ERA+, 4108 IP, 2323 K, 1.283 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9, 5.2 K/9, 2.54 K/BB, 67.0 fWAR I added two key components that were missing from your stats. That's a big reason why those two are first ballot Hall of Famers, so simply comparing Mark's stats doesn't tell the whole story. (I'm not saying it's right, that's just the way it is)

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 14, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) Groce is a f***ing moron. Sticking with Starks over Tate most of the game and then letting Starks keep the ball and shoot in the 2 biggest possessions of the game instead of giving it to Hill or Nunn. It seems that Groce has now reached Jay Cutler status in your world.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 09:20 AM) Obviously, Trestman was in over his head, but what is the Bears record this season if Fox and his entire Denver staff happened to be coaching them? 9-7

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 08:38 AM) This is all leading to the Bears signing Doug Marrone. At least he can beat the Packers

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 14, 2015 -> 04:14 PM) @ProFootballTalk: Report: 49ers set to hire Jim Tomsula as head coach http://t.co/hMkXjmzq3l Same Twitter account that reported Gase was being hired this morning

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 14, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) For some reason I feel like he may have drank away his funds. I feel like every other Sox fan has some story of seeing Anderson out and him being either drunk or a douchebag. Randy Wells syndrome?

LOL at the Twitter replies: "Anybody but Alex Cintron"

There's gonna be a little Bunny raBBit!!!!!

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 13, 2015 -> 03:26 PM) It's really hard to quantify because she's kind of my second high school sweetheart. She moved to like a mile away from my parents house when we were 15 and I sat with her on the bus because she was cute. Then she start dating this mad man I played ball with until he got kicked off varsity. But I was dating this Palestinian who I dated for almost two years so I wasn't mad. Then her guy went all psycho on her claiming to kill himself if she dumped and she came to me so we first started hooking up at 17. I hooked up with her for a few weekends and then I was worried about a relationship and avoided her even though I liked her. She showed up to a party she wasn't supposed to be at and I was hooking up with this Lithuanian I used to hook up with. She hated me for like six months. Then for a couple years we hooked up every few weeks/months and all of a sudden we started hooking up regularly and she was sleeping over. She says she hasn't hooked up with anyone but me for almost two years and I'm almost at a year being loyal to her. I was still hooking up with this Malaysian chick from school in the beginning. She's awesome though. She cleans my place, she's never late, she's gorgeous, she's always considerate, she tries to pay for a dinner every once in a while, my family likes her, she loves to... Hang out. I wasn't trying to be in a relationship but she kind of forced my hand. I just worry these recent bouts aren't hormonal and she's just getting comfortable because we finally made it more official. Pull out game strong. World Traveler!

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jan 14, 2015 -> 09:38 AM) Noob question why is an extension worse than being signed as a FA? Your FA signing will most likely be much larger & longer, because you will have teams competing against each other for your services.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 14, 2015 -> 09:07 AM) Hub Arkush has some weird negativity toward Fox. I don't want to discredit 2 superbowls, but NFL is also a what have you done for me lately league and his Washington days were very dysfunctional, so were latter Denver years. His argument seems to be that Fox is being forced on Pace. I'd want to know if that's the truth, or if it's just a convenient media narrative to latch on to "Bears want to pair experienced coach with youthful GM". When was John Fox in Washington?

PFT reporting Adam Gase to San Francisco

I would think that putting up the worst season in the history of the sport should automatically exclude one from all HOF talk

Fox is headed to Chicago to interview with Bears tomorrow. Jets hire Todd Bowles

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jan 13, 2015 -> 11:35 AM) Ned Yost extended through 2016. See my sig. Good news for the White Sox

Max Scherzer. Unfortunately, there is a 99.99999% chance that doesn't happen.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 13, 2015 -> 01:38 PM) Am I horrible person if I were just interested in seeing how the girls aged/blossomed? Isn't that why Facebook stalking was created?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 13, 2015 -> 02:34 PM) My girl has been on and off birth control for the last couple months and changed from very relaxed to up my ass. I am writing it off as just hormonal s*** but I'm annoyed but we've been fighting more than I'd like. I got yelled at for going to the bar and not telling her last week. I sent her a picture of my buddy when we were at the bar and she's like "why didn't you tell me you were there?" And it didn't end there. Birth control is just a bag of pros and cons. Trying to have a baby can be a very stressful time for women, sometimes you just gotta let her be. Good luck!

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 13, 2015 -> 11:32 AM) I think people underestimate how often talented teams get completely mishandled by coaches in the NFL. You don't luck into a playoff team. San Fran was a sleeping giant for forever, you couldn't understand how they were 6-10 under a coach. Jake Delhomme went from good QB to one of the worst QBs in the world and the were stuck with him for a while. That playoff game vs. Arizona was epically terrible

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 13, 2015 -> 07:13 AM) He's going to free agency. I concur

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 13, 2015 -> 07:31 AM) No, 8 teams is too much. Having to win three games to win the championship starts to make it more like basketball where the best team isn't likely to win it all. It's the American way though. Every other sport rewards getting hot at the right time as opposed to maintaining season-long success.

Urban doesn't even have an entire roster of his own guys yet. The rest of the Big Ten is so f***ed.
