QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 6, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) True or false: What are the Bears chances of getting Bennett? That's not a true or false question?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 6, 2014 -> 04:10 PM) I'm starting to think the Seahawks let Bennett leave. He's a good player, but someone is going to pay him like he is one of the top DE in football. When he was asked about taking a hometown discount, he said "There is no such thing as discount. This is not Costco. This is not WalMart. This is real life. " That sounds like a guy who is looking for as much money as possible, and Seattle has some other major players coming up for contract talks soon.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 5, 2014 -> 03:15 PM) Good god what a trade for the Habs. If somehow the Habs collapse and miss the playoffs, then they don't even have to give up the better draft pick. Absolute epic fail by the Isles GM Garth Snow.

Kesler staying in Vancouver Thomas Vanek to Montreal, hadn't heard their name. Legwand to Detroit Moulson likely to Minnesota

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 5, 2014 -> 12:29 PM) ChiCitySports.Com Per Adam Jahns, the Bears have cut Punter Adam Podlesh. That's good, he sucked in Chicago. He really made me miss the Brad Maynard era.

Tim Thomas to the Dallas Stars. That's a bummer, I'm sure him and Luongo hanging together could have been a buddy comedy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 5, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 26m LA Kings have acquired Marian Gaborik _ still pending trade call however He's kind of an underwhelming scoring threat for a team that struggles to score. I'm sure they didn't want to pay the price for Vanek.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 05:11 PM) I totally fell in love with Phoenix. I wish it wasn't so sprawled out and suburbany, where you have to drive nearly anywhere. Plus, the summer heat, ugh.

Martin St. Louis to the Rangers, Ryan Callahan, a 2014 2nd, and a 2015 1st to Tampa. Apparently St. Louis was pissed at his GM Yzerman for not originally selecting him to the Olympic team, and despite ending up with a gold medal anyway, he wanted out.

Age played a factor for sure, but I think the changes in special teams personnel played a major factor in Hester's decline. He had some damn good blockers in front of him when he was scoring so much.

Well that game sucked. Gonna be quite the 3-way battle this last month for the division title, and more importantly, avoiding the other two teams in round one.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 03:38 PM) tsnjamesduthie: Roberto Luongo confirms he has been traded to Florida. Signing papers right now. #Tradecentre Whoa! Man, the Canucks f***ed up their goalie situation so badly. Best part is, Luongo can retire early and stick the Canucks with an $8 million cap penalty in 2021 or so.

Between Kesler, Gaborik, & Vanek all being available, things could get interesting by tomorrow. The NHL trade deadline easily has the most action of the major sports.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 12:11 PM) I think they are great ideas, at least the extra points. Making extra points 42 yards just makes a kicker's role bigger, which is exactly the opposite of what I think everyone would want. It also would mean a lot of cheap shots into kickers because if your kicker got hurt during the game, you would be screwed. If teams haven't targeted kickers already, 42 yard extra points wouldn't suddenly put kickers at risk. If your kicker is hurt, then you go for two from the 2-yard line, big deal. In fact, I think if this rule were enacted, some coaches might forgoe PATs and go for two most of the time.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 10:41 AM) CapGeek ‏@capgeek 1h #Blackhawks have slightly more than $800K in cap space with Khabibulin on LTIR. Only real option to gain more cap space is to move salary. Well it's a good thing they have an elite goalie locked up to such a market level contract.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 10:45 AM) USA TODAY Sports ‏@USATODAYsports 4h Colin Kaepernick reportedly wants Jay Cutler money. Is he worth that to the 49ers? (@Qsports): http://usat.ly/OWpttq The great NFL QB dilemma. Your QB is probably not worth a top contract, but it's not that easy to let him walk away and find another. So many teams are in that situation, including the Bears.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 10:16 AM) Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 1m Starlin Castro confirmed it would be 7-10 days of rehab for injured Hamstring . Swimming pool and electric stimulation part of the treatment Sounds like more fun than normal spring training stuff

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 08:31 AM) Why can't they let him develop this year? They have the most talented roster in the majors WITH Guerrero starting at 2B. They are set to run away with the West. I see no reason they can't let him develop in the majors. Now, if you said this because they want to give him the Puig treatment and have him start in AAA only to hit .400 there, then that's a different story entirely. They still have the resources necessary within the AAA and MLB teams to make that work without having to acquire a 2B. That is true, but it still makes more sense than just completely giving up on him already for good.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 3, 2014 -> 10:33 PM) He's played all of 4 spring training games. That is insanity. I'm not buying this at all. I realize he is 27, but I read it more as Guerrero not being ready for the majors in 2014, so they need a stopgap this year. They don't have the patience or ability to let him develop in the majors. I don't think they are completely giving up on him for good.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 3, 2014 -> 05:22 PM) Wait, what? They are giving up on Guerrero, who they signed to a ~$30m contract like 5 months ago? That's what happens when you need to win now.

Brutal, sorry to hear that. The circumstances and secrecy makes you wonder what happened though.

$1.25 million for Brandon Bollig? Are you f***ing kidding me?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 3, 2014 -> 09:02 AM) Probably a sign the Hawks aren't getting any of substance at the break. If they were, Pirri probably would have been a part of teh deal. I'm wondering if their "big" move will be bringing Teuvo Teravainen to the States, he is tearing it up in Finland.

QUOTE (bulokis @ Mar 2, 2014 -> 09:14 PM) Pirri traded to Florida In Handzus we trust!

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Mar 2, 2014 -> 10:16 PM) All award shows suck. I think the Oscars are one of the best of the worst. The Grammys have sweet musical performances and everyone is drunk at the Golden Globes. The Oscars is just a bunch of pretentious assholes acting like the world depends on them.
