QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 20, 2009 -> 12:01 AM) I keep saying this, but the curse of the 2nd year player in Chicago lives on. I don't know if the players get celebrated too much in the offseason and just don't stay in shape, but it's a disturbing trend of late. Of course it doesn't help that the Bulls don't have a single guy who can make a jump shot.

It is weird watching Carolina get such terrible guard play. They aren't a legit title contender unless Strickland and Drew get a lot better.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 12:27 AM) The UCLA-Fullerton game is very entertaining for all the wrong reasons. UCLA's roster and talent level is not impressive at all.

Iowa is really really really horrible at basketball.

Rumor Royce White has been expelled from Minnesota. That sucks. http://twitter.com/Fox9Sports

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 10:09 PM) I noticed Legion was playing in garbage time. Not sure if that is a good sign that Paul will be starting, if he didn't tonight. It's odd seeing Paul wear #3 in blue and orange after watching him wear #23 for the last 3 years in the blue and gold. Great start for him. Paul is starting, he and Richardson are awesome. Legion is going to just be a scorer off the bench. He will have some huge games and be a completely non factor in games as well.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 10:53 AM) If the leak is true, Duke is going to be ridiculous next year. They finally got a PG in Irving, Curry is coming in, plus Barnes? Damn. I'm not sold at all on Seth Curry being an impact player in the ACC but I guess we will see.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 12:40 AM) +1 When you lead the NFL in INTs,call me crazy but at some point you GOT to blame the QB for bad decision making. When everyone was tearing Rex a new ahole for throwing picks,he also was playing behind subpar O lines and his reciever weren't TO or Randy Moss. I love Cutler and I see he is supertalented but his mechanics are awful and he missed some easy passes. Turner needs to man up and resign. Rex's offensive line was vastly superior to this offensive line. It isn't even remortely close. The Bears were also really good at running the ball which obviously opens up the field a lot more for the passing games. And say what you want about Mushin Muhammad and Berrian but those guys are a much better receiving combo than anything Cutler has to work with. Those guys at least could run proper routes and had some size to help out Grossman on bad throws.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) Brad Sturdy, the Illini recruiting guru, is hearing Barnes to Iowa State. Don't get caught up in the attire to school though, as we all know of Livingston wearing an Illinois jersey the day he announced. He is usually really informed but he has also said he doesn't really have a great inside source in this case FWIW. Doesn't mean the info is wrong just that it isn't as reliable as the inside info he usually gives.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 11:49 PM) No. That's just the point. It doesn't "all" fall on Cutler. But for some folks, none of it falls on Cutler. I GET that Cutler has talent. I GET that he's way down the list of problems. Turner is a dope. Angelo built the worst offensive line in the league. Forte looks slow. And the receivers are inexperienced and not so good. I don't even like Kyle Orton, unlike some wackos who make it all about him. What I'm pointing out is something different -- a very weird excuse-everything-Cutler-does mentality that has started to creep into these discussions about the Bears. He's the quarterback, and he's turned it over a lot. And some of those -- yes -- are his fault. His fault. Of course some of the turnovers are his fault. But he is also clearly forcing throws in part because the rest of the team is so bad that he feels he has to make big plays all the time.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 11:48 PM) Basically for 4 quarter Cutler is running for his life. He doesn't get to sit back like other QBs and make decisions and pick up secondaries and check downs. The ball is snapped usually badly, the pocket immediately collapses around him because the DEs have a direct line to him. If he is lucky enough to step through it then he picks up his receivers and hopes to god that they remember what he called. You know that playbook is pretty long. Then he throws it and prays to god that the receiver looks back, attempts to catch it and doesn't get scared of the hit or makes up his own route ala Madden 10. I am surpised that he is alive at this point. Speaking of the receivers not knowing the plays or how to line up, it seriously seems like the Bears take longer to snap the ball to spike it then other teams because Cutler has to double check to make sure people are lined up properly.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 11:30 PM) The one where Hester fell down? I am sure he misses the line he had in Denver. And the receivers who actually can get open and run routes and catch the ball. It actually angers me watching how sloppy the Bears receivers are at running routes. It is one thing not to be the most talented guy in the world but at least be clean coming out of your breaks and help your QB out once in a while. Cutler played a bad game tonight but 2 of those interceptions had nothing at all to do with him and I'm not sure a WR has made a play to help him out this entire season. Plus Chris Williams is just embarrassing to watch play right tackle and the rest of the O-Line is horrible as well.

QUOTE (Felix @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 11:22 PM) Obviously this is all pending whether or not he's found guilty, but it's amazing how some people can basically throw their lives away. It is incredible, and obviously hopefully he wasn't involved. If he is does Tubby get rid of him? Two thefts in only a few months on campus after getting kicked out of a High School before he got to Minny it isn't exactly a great track record.

LOL, I'm surprised he didn't score a TD there.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 01:51 PM) What's new? That's been happening for years. The Cover-2 is a failed experiment. It leaves he team wide open for short passes. , There isn't a single defensive scheme available that this defense would have success with. We have two LB who suck, a horrible secondary, mediocre DE, and with Harris not being what he once was mediocre to bad DT.

BTW anyone else feel like the SEC is fixed to make sure that Bama and Florida face each other for the SEC title. That what a clear interception by LSU that was called an incomplete pass. I'm not convinced LSU wins that game anyways but Florida and Bama sure seem to be getting an extraordinary amount of questionable at best calls in their favor.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 08:13 PM) Navy Charlie Weis is a horrible football coach. LOL at Mr. Schematic Advantage.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 02:47 PM) Michigan woke Illinois up. Michigan was about to put that game away, but couldn't punch it in from the one yard line. Illinois drove 99 yards and came to life. Michigan never recovered. I have zero doubt that if UM gets into the end zone, whether on the long pass or any of the four runs from the one, Michigan wins that game. We are right back to looking like crap.

Where the hell has this Illinois team been all year? I realize Michigan and Minny are bad teams but still.

QUOTE (SockMe @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 03:09 PM) Mauer, Morneau, Gomez in order Carlos Gomez is a horrendous baseball player. He is good defensively and sucks at everything else. He was bad on the base paths and was one of the worst hitters in baseball.

Except for that first outing in the ALDS Marte has been money in the postseason for the Yankees.
