QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 11:21 PM) I disagree, at least on Houston anyway. Houston lined up as a linebacker on 80% of his snaps in Oakland, and it's what got him paid. I think people forget that. I also seem to remember him grading out as one of the best against the run in Oakland as well. Yeah I wouldn't run either guy out of town. Neither of them make much money. Unless you can get like a 4th or 5th for either guy, there's no reason to release them.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 09:36 PM) Why do you all like Derek Wolfe so much? He's a good player. John Fox loves him. And he's the most likely free agent signing of all the guys available in my opinion

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) Is the Hall of Fame significantly flawed? Yes. Is the Hall of Fame an irrelevant joke? No. It's a HOF without some of the best players to ever play the game. It's a joke.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 09:49 AM) By excluding Bonds the person and player, you aren't excluding Bonds' achievements. You aren't pretending his doesn't exist. You are very clearly saying that Barry Bonds the player didn't merit inclusion into the HOF for whatever reason it was. Unless the HOF sets new standards, it has always been this way. Bonds is a better guy than Ty Cobb was

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) Desmond King coming back for his senior year at Iowa. His mom wants him to be the first graduate of the family. Now if Drew Ott can somehow get a medical redshirt, Iowa may be pissing off Cowherd again next season. I hope he doesn't get hurt.

The Hall of Fame is an irrelevant joke.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 12:59 PM) Oh and an email response from everyone's favorite lawyer... https://www.yahoo.com/tv/making-murderer-pr...-233447676.html And this is the filmmakers' rebuttal to Kratz. http://www.thewrap.com/making-a-murderer-f...-his-own-facts/

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 01:19 PM) People are really gullible. That guy's job is to get a guilty verdict. The documentary was spun to be highly in favor of the defense. It was completely one-sided. All of his points are completely accurate and had they been shared in the documentary, no one would be upset that Avery is in jail. The *67 s*** alone implicates Avery pretty well in my book. This is not true. Regardless of whether he did it or not, they didn't present enough evidence to convict him. That's the problem.

4 pages about a rumor that isn't even a rumor. Nicky Mitch is full of s***.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 10:57 AM) Wait, the Browns hired Jonah Hill? I actually really like this move. Paul DePodesta is a smart guy and isn't only analytics based. I could see Chip Kelly working there now actually.....

On the Today Show this morning, the filmmakers said that one of the jurors admitted that they believed that Avery was indeed framed but handed down the Guilty verdict because of fear for their well being in that county. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/making-murde...WQDBHNlYwNzYw--

I can't tweet from work but Bruce Feldman just tweeted this: Mike Leach's 2000 Texas Tech Staff: Art Briles, Dana Holgorsen, Sonny Dykes, Dava Aranda, Chance Ruffin, Kliff Kingsbury, Sonny Cumbie, R. Anae, and Clay McGuire. That's nuts.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) Am I the only person who loves Django? Django Unchained was phenomenal. I'm with you.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 05:05 PM) I am talking legally. Legally, there was undoubtedly sufficient evidence. And 12 jurors, who heard all the evidence in its entirety, found that he was guilty. Not one juror who actually voted found reasonable doubt. That is pretty convincing to me. How nobody thought that there was "reasonable doubt" is absurd though. Do I think that the police orchestrated the whole thing? No. I don't know "beyond a reasonable doubt" that they didn't though.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) You can count out Edwin Jackson. Close to agreement with marlins Fister has 1-2 year offers from multiple clubs. I wonder if the White Sox are one of those clubs

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 10:42 AM) Cryptic tweet from an insider, apparently a typo Jim Bowden ‏@JimBowden_ESPN 1m1 minute ago Pay Gordon & Angels sign Kendrick and Upton Was either a fan question or supposed to be a DM

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 08:35 AM) I''m not 100% on this, but I think the Bears pick 11th in odd rounds and 8th in even rounds. So they pick 11th in 1st. 10th in 2nd. 9th in 3rd. 11th in 4th. 10th in 5th. 9th in 6th. 11th in 7th round. I just looked it up. They'll have picks #11, #41 (New England forfeits 1st rounder).

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 09:30 AM) I like the draft and develop mentality of Ted Thompson. I think teams that try and win by signing free agents are usually the bad teams, but signing 2 or 3 low priced players isn't the end of the world. TT has had good success with that, but he seems to shy away from it for some reason. This is one thing that needs to change this off season, although I doubt it will. Ladarius Green is perfect type of player they should go after. Young and probably won't cost that much. Fills a big hole for them. I agree with this. They'll never "go nuts' in free agency and they have no reason to. There's also no reason to carry over a ton of cap space when you are a potential Super Bowl winner that has a few holes that could be easily filled in the short-term.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 09:11 AM) WTF happened? They were cruising the first 6 games then it's like the Broncos beat them up and they never recovered. Personnel issues. Bad OL. Lack of skill players. Thompson's drafts haven't been as good and they never supplement the roster with free agents even though they have $$.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 09:03 AM) The guy with the third highest ceiling isn't on that list. Adolfo?

I'll go with: NFC Washington over Green Bay Seattle over Minnesota Carolina over Seattle Arizona over Washington Arizona over Carolina AFC Pittsburgh over Cincinnati Houston over Kansas City Pittsburgh over Denver New England over Kansas City New England over Pittsburgh SB: Arizona over New England

Baseball America has it as: 1. Tim Anderson SS 2. Carson Fulmer RHP 3. Spencer Adams RHP 4. Trey Michalczewski 3B 5. Jacob May CF 6. Tyler Danish RHP 7. Adam Engel OF 8. Jordan Guerrero LHP 9. Courtney Hawkins OF 10. Corey Zangari 1B

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 07:52 AM) If two teams had the same record, the team with the harder schedule is theoretically better because it was harder for them to win the same number of games. Fairest way I can think of to set the draft order, though it just happens to not work out well for the Bears. There are 4 teams with 6-10 records. Bears pick last of the 4 because of SOS. Don't they pick 1st of the 4 in round 2 though? That would give them the 39th pick.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) I wonder if one of her aides wrote that. Totally unacceptable on so many counts. Nobody can be that dumb, right? To root against your alma mater in a bowl game?? I mean, cmon. Gary Bedore ‏@GaryBedore 3m3 minutes ago Only way Carly can save face with that tweet is to say one of her campaign workers had her twitter access. Can't root against alma mater.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) If Nightengale or whoever wrote it is correct in saying we are only offering 3 years, we are not going to sign Upton, Gordon or Cespedes. That's not being negative, that's a fact, right?? In what scenario would any of those guys go for three years? Posturing. They know it won't be a 3 year deal.
