IDK if this has been talked about yet, but does Flynn's performance yesterday take some votes away from Rodgers for MVP? If anything, it proves that the weapons the Packers have are a big reason why Rodgers has a 120 something QB rating. Plus, I don't think Drew Brees has been much worse.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) If it makes you feel better, in bWAR, he was only worth 1.2 bWAR last year and 1.4 bWAR the year before. I felt like Peavy was a victim of untimely hits last season. I think fWAR is a lot more indicative of the talent he still has.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 02:45 PM) Redskins or Broncos. Probably the Redskins.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 10:24 AM) I'll watch them the next time they get a Chicago Bulls beatdown;) This Wolves team is actually pretty damn good. They've been in every game so far and a lot of the games were against tough opponents. Basketball-Prospectus had the Wolves as the 8th seed in their pre-season predictions. I'd think they have a legit shot at the playoffs right now. Especially since Randolph could be out for a while for the Grizzlies.

Axelrod.

QUOTE (SouthSideTeacher @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) ASIK is BEASTING tonight. incredible defense. Boozer even played great defense today. Great team effort tonight. Ronnie Brewer's shot is so much improved. If he keeps playing like this, he has to start over Rip. The Grizzlies were freaking terrible. It looked like they wanted to give Lionel Collins a heart attack.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 09:08 PM) Ryan Anderson's got some game this season as well. He's Kevin Love Lite it seems. Fantasy sleeper. I forgot to draft in one of my leagues and the auto-picker got him for me.

Ronnie Brewer hasn't missed from 3 yet this season. Impressive. And ZBo is hurt. Bad news for my fantasy team.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 06:55 PM) And they haven't won a game since. They won the Bears game. lol

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 06:54 PM) Von Miller has an injured hand and that has really impacted his pass rush. He's had the bad hand since the Bears game.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 06:48 PM) Speaks to just how dominant that defense has been during their run. They were horrible against the Bills for whatever reason.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 06:46 PM) He's never been any good. Has been figured out since day one. Has never run a NFL level offense for an entire game. Only made a few plays to win games that were kept close by the Broncos' stellar defense. He should have been figured out since day 1, but it took teams almost half a season to shut him down in crunch time.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 06:36 PM) 6 for 22, 60 yards, INT and a fumble, he'll forever be known as a Pro Bowl QUARTERBACK and probably get MVP votes (hopefully not after all these late season losses). What a f***ing f***ing joke. And his team is going to the playoffs. SMH...

DeMarcus Cousins wants to get traded. Who the hell does he think he is? Dwight Howard? Start shooting better than 32% and then we'll talk.

I think teams have finally figured out Tebow. About damn time.

Oakland down 5 and the Broncos are down to a minute left in their game with no timeouts. This is gonna be good.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 03:59 PM) I'd say 10-6 if they started McCown over Hanie from the beginning. They could have been 10-6 with Hanie. If Roy Williams didn't have hands of steel, Marion Barber wasn't football-stupid, and Chris Conte knew what the hell to do on a hail marry in the end zone, the Bears would have won the Denver and KC games. 3-4 plays in those two games (and the Oakland game) defined the season for us.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 01:17 PM) I would also trade Thornton, AJ, Ohman and Crain I think you trade either Ohman or Thornton, but not both. I'd love to get rid of Ohman for something. Nobody will want A.J. at $6 million. I actually think it'd be a good idea to keep Floyd. If you couldn't get what you wanted for Danks, Floyd won't get you anything better.

Picking up the option wasn't a bad idea. Got something out of it at least.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 06:15 PM) I wonder where the two new guys obtained from the Padres will fall in Sickels' list? Castro will definitely be in the top 10 now. Probably around 4th or 5th I imagine.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) Goldstein was just on the score. He views Hernandez as a fringy bullpen type. Castro still has a middle of the rotation ceiling if he can figure things out. His mechanics and repeatability are the problems. Coop will definitely fix him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 12:03 PM) I think Mark helps other pitchers as well. His approach is the best in baseball. Perhaps in baseball history. Get it and throw it. Move the ball around. IMO Sox should have paid him. Let's not go that overboard. There's no question that Mark helped shape Danks' pitching approach (with the cutter and working fast), but let's not pretend that Cooper had nothing to do with it.

It looks like Castro couldn't find any control at AAA last season. 21 Ks and 18 BB in 19 innings. He only had 16 walks in 90 innings at the AA level.

We got a reclamation PROSPECT back in return..ugh. Oh well, Carlos was expendable anyways.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 10:19 AM) Holy s***, I think I need to do this. If even one of you says you're down, then I'm down immediately. Even at $1500. If I can get in at $1,000 still...no, haven't looked, don't care...then that saves me $500. PM me if you actually want to do this. Mostly for vanity purposes, but this could actually make and meet several new year resolutions, if you actually do that kind of thing. I think I have enough classes on my hands. lol I'd love to know how to do this kind of stuff (somewhat fits into my major with the CS stuff), but I don't think I have the time or the money to do it.
