Found it surprising Matt Ryan made the Pro Bowl and not Aaron Rodgers. Even Jay Cutler has a higher passer rating than Ryan.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Dec 28, 2010 -> 10:29 PM) NFL is wacky and anything can happen, but with the 2 meaningful games to the bears at 12 and bears at 3, they should have no chance at the 1st at that point, so we'll see what Lovie does If the Vikings can beat the Eagles, then the Panthers can beat the Falcons. I hope Jimmy Claussen becomes Tom Brady and Jonathan Stewart goes AP on Atlanta.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 28, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) Soooo, any of you guys take my advice on using Webb as a flex player? 195 Yds 0 Int - 31 Yds rush 1 TD I picked him up, didn't start him though. I still won. Didn't make a difference.

I wonder how the Bears will approach Sunday's game. The Giants are pretty much screwed if the Bears end up sitting some guys.

Joe Webb almost screwed it up.

And just like that, I win third place in my fantasy league and the Vikings go back up by 10. Double awesome-ness.

Please Minnesota, do something right this season by winning this game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 28, 2010 -> 02:01 PM) Here we go... I wonder what Greg has to say about this. Two of his favorite things to defend are now going at it with each other. Oney absolutely owned Jenks. This is going to be all over the internetz very soon.

The Bucks don't even have a real PG active in this game.

The Vikings dropped at least 3 sure picks in that first half. Vick is looking like absolute crap.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 28, 2010 -> 10:25 AM) what is "Strength of victory"? How good the teams you beat were.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 28, 2010 -> 12:13 AM) I don't think so. I've been to Utah and I almost died from boredom. This was like in 1999. And there's like no black folks. The only black people I can recall were Karl Malone, who's not really black, and Byron Russell . This.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 06:21 PM) It's amazing how people who typically love the higher level stats are alright with Jenks leaving based on the eye test, while those that typically go to the eye test are looking at the raw numbers. Because sometimes, the eye test works better, especially with FIP. Jenks had Javy Vazquez disease last year. I think I've made myself a promise to never look at Javy's FIP and xFIP ever again or believe in it.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 08:35 PM) Yes. He was hated in Cleveland and considered to be a locker room cancer in Utah. http://www.sportsviews.com/blog/49991/The_...cers_in_the_NBA Who wouldn't want to get out of Utah? That's not the best place to live. Besides, he liked it there so much that he re-upped with them two off-seasons ago. I don't buy that. I also found this to be funny as hell. So if he's a nice guy and all, how does that make him a locker room cancer? Because he's hurt a lot? The hell? It's not like he fakes his injuries and just sits on a La-Z-Boy while everybody else plays or something.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) I think a lot of us are wondering what our team is going to do with Peavy in limbo for potentially half the season. I know most of us would prefer to find a better alternative than Freddy Garcia again and I think a solution may have just presented itself. The Brewers with a full 5 man rotation after acquiring Grienke and Marcum have broken off talks with Chris Capuano. While he missed the 2008-2009 seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery I think he might be a great fill in candidate and swing man for our team. Last year with the Brewers he compiled 66 IP between a couple spot starts as well as out of the pen and posted a 3.95 ERA with 7.4 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9. While far removed from his full seasons of work in the 2005 and 2006 seasons I believe Capuano would be an serviceable and affordable candidate for this swing man role the sox need. He could easily make 10+ starts for the Sox while they wait to see what happens with Peavy's return, and can pitch out of bullpen as our 3rd lefty if/when Peavy returns. I think KW should make a play at him, something like 1 year 4M + Incentives should do it. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/12/brew...th-capuano.html Capuano's gonna get nowhere near 4 million.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 06:39 PM) What's the knock on Saito? His numbers look outstanding, don't get why he's getting considerably less (under $2 million according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy) than a lot of these guys on the market are getting. Just his age getting in the way? Yeah, it's probably the age. He's like 40 something.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) For what closer? Axford, one of the best relievers (statistically) in all of baseball last year.

Phillies re-sign Romero. Brewers add Saito. I'm guessing Saito will be a setup man.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 10:40 AM) Brandon Marshall might be available via trade, given his so-so season in Miami. I know the Dolphins just acquired him but I think Sparano might be gone and Parcells might leave too. Depending on the new regime, the Fins might be willing to part with Marshall for a 2nd or 3rd round pick. I know he might be a serious headcase, but Cutler has undeniable chemistry with him. Marshall makes a lot of sense because of Cutler.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) I seriously do not think Phil Simms watches the game. He called a Sanchez pass that was ovthrown a perfect pass than he says Holmes slows up on a route when the ball was behind him. He is a disaster. He also has no idea what a freaking pass interference looks like. He complained about every PI call/non-call the entire game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 10:11 AM) You can do it if you have a replacement coming back, but you can't survive with Asik, Thomas, and Scalabrine as your non-Boozer big men for the next 6 weeks. Hopefully Noah should be back before the trade deadline. I think a lot of us would be okay with that trade if Joakim was healthy.

Brewer's actually been a ~15 PER player this year, which I found surprising. His PER is actually slightly higher than Deng's. With Noah out and our big men depth being the way it is, there's no way I would trade Taj. Not for Stephen Jackson at least.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 09:30 AM) That damn Tom Brady has only 4 picks this year. He hasn't had one since week 6. Thats just silly. Simply a result of being really good and lucky at the same time. He's thrown a couple of balls right at defenders and they just straight up dropped them.

I'm pretty sure the ratings are gonna be bad for that Seahawks and Rams game. Both teams are bad and the only demographics they're going to draw are the fans of the two respective teams.
