SOXOBAMA

It's not trolling when I am talking about my fav team in a NFL thread, if you just want Bears fans kissing one another ass, make a Bears thread.

Btw you lost our bet. So a respectful 49ers image should be up.

I'm pretty damn sure if the Bears would have won last night, I would have taken a lot of heat this morning. This thread is to talk about the NFL, not just the Bears.

Maybe you should read my inbox messages that I have received over the last few months

You can bash my english skills since I'm from a different country but it doesn't change the fact, that Bears fans were talking s*** and now they are hiding.

English is my 2nd lanuage. The Bears have played 3 great teams and got their ass kicked in 2 of those games.

Where are all the Bears fans that told me for months, how the Bears would destroyed the 49ers?

A very nice win today.

http://blog.49ers.com/2012/11/15/statement...h-jim-harbaugh/ The San Francisco 49ers have released the following statement on head coach Jim Harbaugh: “Coach Harbaugh is not at the facility today under doctor’s orders. He is having a minor procedure done at Stanford Hospital today for an irregular heartbeat. We anticipate that he will be back at the facility tomorrow, but do not have any further information to share at this time. Assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Brad Seely will be overseeing today’s practice and meetings. When more information regarding coach Harbaugh is available we will pass that along.”

http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id...ved-report-says Coach Rex Ryan has stuck with Mark Sanchez as his starting quarterback, despite the New York Jets' team's 3-6 record, saying that Sanchez gives his team the best chance to win. According to a report, there apparently is no argument from his locker room, with more than 12 players believing Tim Tebow is not very good. Both offensive and defensive players, who remained anonymous, told the New York Daily News that they hadn't noticed improvement in Tebow's quarterback skills since he joined the Jets from the Broncos this past March. He's terrible," a defensive starter told the Daily News. Sanchez remains the Jets' starting quarterback as Ryan picks up the pieces from the team's worst stretch of football since 2007, including last weekend's 28-7 loss to Seattle. Ryan has repeatedly backed Sanchez, including this week when he responded defiantly Monday when asked whether he would bench Sanchez in favor of Tebow, claiming that his job security will not factor into who starts at quarterback. "If that day ever happens, then it happens," Ryan said. "But with me, I'm never going to waver. I'm not going to make a decision one way or the other in order to save my job. I'm trying to win games." Jets players told the Daily News that they agree that Sanchez should remain the starter. They take that stance despite the fact that Sanchez has an NFL-worst 52 percent completion percentage and has been intercepted in the red zone four times, also worst in the league. A Jets official told the newspaper that the options Sanchez has to throw to in the passing game are "garbage," a big factor in the quarterback's poor statistics. "I've seen better receiving corps in college than we have on our team," another Jets source told the newspaper. Sanchez, however, struggled in his meeting against the Seahawks and Pete Carroll, his former coach at USC, last Sunday. Sanchez threw a costly interception at the goal line in the first half, then fumbled at the Seattle 32 on a blitz from Richard Sherman, and Seattle's Jason Jones recovered in the fourth quarter. He finished 9-of-22 for 124 yards. Tebow ran four times for 14 yards, and was 3-of-3 passing for 8 yards. But Tebow was of no help to the offense. "I don't know how many more losses you can spot somebody before you think you can make the playoffs," Ryan said after the game. "It's about a 2 percent chance at making the playoffs with the record we have and we are going to take that shot." The Jets finished with just 185 total yards and only 72 in the second half against Seattle, the second time this season the Jets were held under 200 yards of offense. Not all Jets sources polled by the newspaper criticized Tebow, however. "He's a winner," one team source told the newspaper. "If he stays on the field long enough, usually good things happen." That source, however, made it clear that, although he wanted Tebow to get more playing time, Sanchez shouldn't lose his starting job. The Jets have said they acquired Tebow to run their Wildcat package, which has fizzled and been a nonfactor this season. When asked whether the Jets could turn their season around if the team changed the offense to a zone-read system, tailoring the attack to Tebow's strengths, the players didn't think it would work. "We can't win running that s---," one player told the newspaper

49ers Alex Smith suffered a concussion on Sunday. And while it’s unclear whether he’ll be cleared by an independent neurologist to return to action on Monday night against the Bears, a league source tells PFT that Smith is seeking a second opinion.

Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 Every outside exec spoken to doesn't think #Marlins will trade Stanton. 2 said Mia said all availables at GM Meetings, Stanton not on list JIM BOWDEN ‏@JimBowdenESPNxm The trades of Reyes, Buehrle & Bell will certainly impact this Free Agent class where top players will now insist on No-Trade clauses

white sox ‏@Roto_Whitesox #White Sox : Steve Tolleson-INF : agrees to terms on minor league deal with #White #Sox

San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was more optimistic about quarterback Alex Smith's status. He said Smith was "doing much better," which bodes well for his status for the big "Monday Night Football" game against the Chicago Bears.

There's has been talk here in San Fran, that the Sox are looking to sign Pagan to play CF.

A trade for Brett Lawrie

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS #tigers, #rangers among teams eying @toriihunter, who said he'll sign quick

Here's a look at the eight teams in the NFC with winning records: Atlanta 8-1 (Next week: Sunday vs. Arizona) Chicago 7-2 (Next week: Monday at 49ers) 49ers 6-2-1 (Next week: Monday vs. Chicago) Green Bay 6-3 (Next week: Sunday at Detroit) N.Y. Giants 6-4 (Next week: Bye) Seattle 6-4 (Next week: Bye) Minnesota 6-4 (Next week: Bye) Tampa Bay 5-4 (Next week: Sunday at Carolina) Looks like next week game is a battle for the #2 seed...

I hope Alex Smith & Jay are back to play next week. It's going to be a great game

Lets trade Floyd to Boston for Salty

According to CSNChicago.com White Sox Insider Dan Hayes, Viciedo is one of several White Sox youngsters who may be available. As evidence, Hayes cited “four rival executives” who believe that Hahn is “open” to trading the young left fielder. Make no mistake about it; Viciedo’s days in a White Sox uniform could be numbered because of his contract status. Hayes pointed out in his article that “Viciedo’s contract stipulates he must earn 80 percent of the $3.5 million he pulled in last season, which equates to $2.8 million.” Factor in the $1 million pro-rated share of his $4 million signing bonus and Viciedo stands to get, at minimum, a $300,000 raise in 2013. At $3.8 million, he may be a bit out of Hahn’s price range. Now, if Viciedo’s price tag does necessitate a move, what is Hahn’s best option? A three-team trade, of course, and Hahn is already thinking the same thing. Hahn was quoted in the Chicago Tribune on Thursday saying that the conversations he’s had at the general managers meetings in California “may lead to some three-way deals in the coming weeks." One potential trade scenario would involve the Houston Astros and the San Diego Padres. -The Padres receive Asher Wojciechowski (2-2 with a 2.06 ERA in eight starts at Double-A Corpus Christi) from the Astros and Gavin Floyd from the White Sox -The Astros acquire Viciedo and Double-A pitcher Nestor Molina from the White Sox -The White Sox get third baseman Chase Headley and a prospect (anyone will do) from the Padres. As important as the players involved are, a three-team trade does something that may be even more so. See, by combining Floyd’s $9.5 million salary with Viciedo’s, Hahn would shave a potential total of $13.3 million from the White Sox' payroll. Hahn could then use that money to lock up Alejandro De Aza into a long-term contract and sign Headley to an extension with money to spare. Outside-the-box thinking, to be sure, but this is an example of what adding Viciedo in a trade could do. In all fairness, this column is not advocating for a trade. In fact, an argument can be made that Viciedo is someone to build the future around. He is young, talented and full of potential. If Viciedo’s worth is put into this context, however, trading him could be a great idea.

I'd make a huge trade with AZ. Viciedo, Beckham and Jones for Upton & Montero

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN Note on Alex Rios: execs not certain he's available but say would be easier to move his salary after 2012

Dan Hayes is reporting that Beckham, DeAza, Floyd and Viciedo might be traded this off season.
