  1. Snell to the Giants

    Two year deal for $62 million, with an opt-out after 1 year. OK, Cubs. Make an offer to Jordan Montgomery now.
  2. James Franklin and Penn State

    The guy has been at Penn State for a decade or so. Does he have a signature win? I don’t know his record without looking it up against Michigan and Ohio State but I don’t recall him ever beating them. Who has he beaten?
  3. Michigan football under (another) investigation

    For stealing signs. Allegedly sent scouts to games of upcoming opponents to steal signals. Don’t teams generally scout upcoming opponents? It’s Harbaugh, so I am ok with him being investigated. 😂
  4. Ryder Cup - WTF, Zach?

    Well, a lot of us question the pick of Zach Johnson as coach the minute we heard about it and now we know why. Zach decided to sit Ryder Cup stalwarts, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka in the opening session and the Europeans scored a historic 4-0 victory and the Ryder Cup is over...
  5. RIP Brooks Robinson

    Brooks Robinson, “The Human Vacuum Cleaner” passed away at 86. Quick, without looking it up (it’s in the story about Robinson), who is the only player to win more gold gloves?
  6. Have we given up on IGTs?

    And if so, it’s understandable. But Happ with two outfield assists in two extra innings did not suck today. Two runners thrown out at home. Sweet. And due to the extra inning rules where the batter who made the last out is the runner on second the following inning, one Brewer got thrown...
  7. Day 3 - Bears have already traded down

    Traded 103 for 115 and 165. Saints are on the clock.
  8. "What I'm hearing" - Let's talk about the talking heads (not the band)

    Adam Schefter (and others) “What I’m Hearing” Carolina is in love with….CJ Stroud. Will Levis could go #1 overall. Anthony Richardson could be the #1 overall pick. Houston does not want to draft a QB here. Houston wants to trade out of this pick. Houston won’t take CJ Stroud because he has the...
  9. Eagles are rumored to be acquiring Derrick Henry

    Interesting. I guess that makes it unlikely they grab Bijan at 10 if still there. I suspected they would do that when fans suggested the Bears trade down and get him lower than 9.
  10. Cubs vs. A's

    Wesneski not looking sharp through 2, but Wisdom's 4th HR in 4 games has the game tied at 1.
  11. The QB Dominoes are starting to fall.

    Carr signing with the Saints. As expected he is signing with a team that was not apparently in the market for trading with the Bears so that’s a good sign but not a surprise.
  12. Khalil Mack expected to be traded or released

    If released, Poles should jump at the chance to bring him back. If he can be had at the right price of course. I realize i am one of the few here who do not believe he was overrated or that he stunk. But he reportedly would like to return and I would be happy to see it.
  13. RIP, Vin Scully

    My 2nd RIP thread of the week. Hopefully Grimson doesn't come tell me Vin was mean to him once. Reading some of what will undoubtedly be hundreds of tributes to Scully. At Fordham he called football games for a team that had a young assistant named Vince Lombardi. He played baseball in college...
  14. RIP: Bill Russell

    RIP to the greatest champion of US team sports ever. Bill Russell has died at age 88. In a span of 16 years, he won 14 championships in 17 tries: 2 NCAA championships in 3 years at Univ of San Francisco. 11 NBA Championships in 13 years, and in that same time frame, an Olympic gold medal in...
  15. Kyle Long "stepping away"

    Says many fans will probably be happy to hear it. He was a darned good guard when he first came to the NFL. During the Trestman years, when the so-called leaders on D simply stopped playing, Long played his heart out. It was certainly time to move on, but he played harder than most players do...
  16. Why does CCS on iphone affect sound?

    When I am listening to music on my iPhone and log into CCS, it often stops the music. Tonight I had the music off, but airpods in, and when I logged onto CCS, I heard sounds - almost like static, thiugh it can’t be since it is digital. What gives?
  17. Bill Buckner has passed away.

    He was 69, and died of Lewy Body Dementia. One of my all time favorites, Buckner was the first guy the Cubs had who seemed to "get it". Two of my favorite memories involved Buckner. One was a HR off that dipshit Mad Hungarian. Buckner, with his bad ankle, took a week to get around the bases...
  18. Karma comes calling for Reuben Foster

    Serial woman beater - and escape artist - Reuben Foster, who was picked up by the Redskins after being released by San Fran, has torn his ACL, and will miss the upcoming season.
  19. OT: Mike McCarthy - still an ass

    Berating HS basketball officials because his stepson's team lost. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26100017/ex-nfl-coach-mccarthy-berated-hs-refs I miss him so much, He is such a peach of a guy.
