QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) Butler has a swollen knee and stiff back. He will not play tonight. Well, we all know that Thibs would of gotten grilled on this. Now it's time to grill Hoiberg and the FO for letting this happen to Butler. Absolutely ridiculous.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) any background on this Sami guy? Why is he so well known / good? Really good in NXT. Best friends with KO.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 05:24 PM) $4 million for assistants is only behind Michigan and OSU for assistants in the Big 10 and not far behind those two. Wow. Would of been 10th in the nation last year. Wow is right. Illinois going big.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) We're already at our lowest point maybe ever, let's swing big. Couldn't agree more.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) This AD is either gonna be immortal or crucified. No in between. A risk Illinois definitely needed to take either way.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 02:56 PM) Gipson would be a nice add. I think I heard he led safeties in INT's the past three seasons? Really good 2 years ago. Last year he struggled overall and had injury problems.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) So Whitman said Lovie's available funds for assistants will be competitive with the top of the Big 10 and I've heard $4 million rumored. Such a surreal moment for Illinois football. Such a great hire.

What a great hire for Illinois

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 01:12 PM) I saw A.J. Puk struggled again. Any of the high-profile college starting pitchers performing well so far? Jordan Sheffield.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) Whitman should hire Tom Thibodeau next. LMAO, I'd go nuts.

Ryan Baker reporting that Lovie Smith's official announcement will be tomorrow

Deal is official. Mike Olt DFA'd

Tomorrow is the day where teams start to talk to players, technically. I forgot how last year went, but we hear about players visiting teams and agreeing to deals as early as tomorrow, correct?

My Bears signings predictions for the 1st day of free agency are Danny Trevathan, Casey Heyward, and Ian Williams.

Much needed. OF defense just got a lot better.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 04:11 PM) Not seeing this anywhere....where you see it? I don't see it either.

Wow. Jeremy Werner reporting that a name to watch is Lovie Smith. I'd actually love that move. He's a good football coach, just needs a good OC.

Some rumors about PJ Fleck now

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 12:45 PM) Joc? Ethier?

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 12:42 PM) I have always liked Frazier, and so far he is saying all the right things http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/frazier...with-white-sox/ I've always loved Frazier. Hopefully he has a good season and can stay here for years to come.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 12:37 PM) Yes that was my tweet. Nightengale was on and pretty confident that they'll be adding an OF. Said he thinks they have "another move up their sleeve". The hosts asked about CarGo and Bruce. Bob said Baltimore is the only team he's heard interested in Bruce. He also doesn't think it'll be Cargo to Sox either. Puig

Word is that the leak got out rather quick and the plan was to tell the players first. Social Media now a days....

Hot name that's been coming out is Leslie Frazier.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 01:09 PM) Yep, IMO the biggest problem the Bears had was coverage in intermediate middle of the field. Adding Trevathan helps that immensely. Yeah, I definitely agree. Trevathan and another lower tier LB or draft a LB could do wonders for this defense.
