The only problem with that rumor IMO is that Cutler was announced as the #2 quarterback. If Clausen gets killed by Suh or if he is Burris bad, Cutler will have to play. It would make more sense to declare him inactive for the last two games with Fales or a FA as the backup.

I'm in Palm Springs for 10 days on a golf course, but unfortunately prior obligations and children will keep me from actually playing.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 01:16 PM) I know the Bears are bad, but are they so bad that they've been demoted to college football? Probably more suited for a Canadian Football Thread. Is this roster as currently put together a Grey Cup contender?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 09:48 AM) I don't think it's likely at all that we re-sign Samardzija. Agreed. He was just saying what he is supposed to say, he is holding out for free agency. Especially when Scherzer gets his mega-bucks deal eventually, he will want to wait.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 10:17 AM) So how long before Longoria rumors start springing up? It all depends if the Red Sox go for him because as we learned they can trade for any player they want

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 09:44 AM) looks like SD got JUP too Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 30s31 seconds ago #Braves' return from #Padres for Upton figures to include at least one of three top prospects: Renfroe, Wisler or Hedges. ALL THE OUTFIELDERS!!!!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 07:04 AM) Peavy stays with the giants, 2/24M with a full NTC. Alrighty then Where he belongs, bet he does well out there

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 12:16 AM) If not for Dybber, Sox win World Series that one year. Hoyt would have pitched deciding game of ALCS and he was unstoppable that year, simply unstoppable. Dybber cost the Sox gold rings. Worst baserunning blunder perhaps in Chicago history. Worst blunder by a Chicago baserunner, but not the worst in Chicago baseball history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle%27s_Boner

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 04:59 PM) I've been consistently impressed at how some teams are able to rapidly completely turn things around by nailing a draft or two even when I think they're down for years. The Atlanta Falcons are probably my best recent example of this - they looked like a disaster the year of the Vick suspension, I thought they would need years, they drafted Matt Ryan and were in the playoffs the next year. It seems like there's always at least one "rapid turnaround" from a poor record to a solid one in the NFL every year. Or you can just be the Colts and plan your league awful seasons around can't miss QBs coming out of college

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 04:00 PM) The talent dilution caused by adding even more teams would be awful. There aren't 32 starting-caliber QB's at it is. Isn't it amazing that there aren't even 30 people in the world capable of being good NFL QBs?

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 03:56 PM) 50 years 1 sb 2 sb appearances 8 playoff appearances Flagship franchise of league. 2nd most championships since 1920 - Haters gonna hate

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 02:40 PM) Yeah, I know we didn't beat good teams, but I can't believe this team is better than anyone. They always look like the worst team on the field even when they win. Except Tampa I guess. Agreed, and it's not like they dominated Tampa by any means. Tampa just forgot how to hold onto the ball for one 5-minute stretch.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:41 PM) He did hit three bombs against us last year...in one game. And what better way to prevent that from happening again than signing him to the Sox organization. Secret genius move by Hahn.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 02:36 PM) I can't believe this team won 5 games. To be fair, those 5 teams' combined record was 23-47. (.329) Only one of them is still alive for a playoff spot and that's solely based on playing in the worst division in NFL history.

I hope the base of this deal included 2000 Pedro or Nomar, or maybe 2007 Ortiz or Beckett.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 10:54 AM) Tennessee's rush D sucks, but Gerhart is not really a high points potential guy. You are probably right, I might just like the Jaguars way too much tonight. Guess I am hoping for a couple goalline scores. The other guys matchups kind of suck too.

I really really want to start Toby Gerhart in both my leagues tonight. Am I crazy? Seems like more potential upside than Andre Williams, Blount, or Ivory?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) Well Cutler being benched just f***ed me in one of my leagues. You can play QB in the Flex so most people play 2 QB. Also makes Jeffery practically unplayable. I have Hopkins to replace him but he's in the same situation. Ugh, brutal. Just pick up Clausen, he is gonna "light it up"! One of my teams has to start Jeffery and Hopkins. Hope their talent can overcome the QB play.

Jimmy Clausen is gonna light up this Lions D? Lol. Fire them all.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 04:29 PM) Gigantic prospects trade between Nationals, Rays, and Padres. Padres get: OF Wil Myers (Rays), C Ryan Hannigan (Rays), P Jose Castillo (Rays) Rays get: OF Steven Souza (Nats), C Rene Rivera (Padres), P Burch Smith (Padres), 1B Jake Bauers (Padres) Nats get: SS Trea Turner (Padres), P Joe Ross (Padres). Trea Turner will be a PTBNL, since he was drafted in June of 2014, he is eligible to join the Nats organization June 13th, 2015, which is weird to me that he will get developed and instructed by a different team. Makes you wonder how that has to be for both Trea and his coaches. In my opinion, the Nats and Rays are the winners here. Nats traded Souza for Trea Turner and Joe Ross. Padres I think did the worst here. I've heard of four of those nine players. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Wow, not the news I expected to see when turning my phone on after a flight. If this was Trestman's decision, it's either him saying "You are gonna fire me? Well then f*** you" or he is praying for a McCown type performance from Clausen so he can blame it all on Cutler. Fire them all.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 09:24 AM) So your point is in part based on the sentiment that "Alex Rodriguez's contract is a solid one"? Given what happened in 2009, I imagine the Yankees would sign him to it again

I've always wanted to visit Cuba, now I need to make it happen ASAP. Once the American business interests get down there , I imagine it becoming a corporate tourist trap, losing most of its culture and charm quickly.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) Doh, I might have voted single with kid by mistake (supposed to be married with kid) For all your criticism of Cutler being inaccurate, you can't even click a mouse in the right circle!

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 09:20 PM) Scott Merkin is actually addressing this via twitter now. Says it's not going to happen and would start with Quintana as the center piece. Exactly. Since Rodon can't be traded, Quintana or Sale are the only players who get you Longoria, and that doesn't really make your team better.
