Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
It took a little over five hours of "official" free agency, but I think enough potential suitors are off the market that I think the return for any trade of Fields would be low enough that they may just opt to hang onto him (his contract is fully guaranteed this year and his cap hit is th...

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
Would love to see the plans for the lakefront build. 20% more park space after building a new stadium. Assume that includes the tear down of the current Soldier Field. Yes, tearing down the stadium, but leaving up the colonnades. The plan at this time is to have that space converted to parks/athlet...

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
Bears sign De'Andre Swift for three years, $24 million.
I am even closer to believing their management has no idea what they are doing.
I look forward to them being unable to trade Fields before the draft.

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
Yeah the Bears outside the city would've been weird. They had some issues with the first plot of land they bought (an old racetrack) and had some legal issues regarding the valuation of the property/their tax bill.

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
They've been drafting in the 20s for two decades. It's why they are in this current purgatory of not good and not bad. Is there a reason why they just won't let go of the rope for a year or two and reset? It's not the same thing, but when a team insists on never fully rebuilding, I always think of ...

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Yeah, they aren't up to historic Syracuse levels yet, but Boeheim didn't leave him much (other than Mintz, who's quite good). The last two teams were pretty poor and clearly only built around the idea of getting the ball to his son(s). I hope Autry pans out, because the ACC's coaching talent pool h...

Great guy, but a bad fit from the jump. Went over this last year when it was announced he was returning for this season.

The only reason to stay in was if someone was going to end up getting DQ'd and since things are moving so slowly, it feels like they're going backward, it's probably a good time to cut losses.

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
yup. the difference between an uncompetitive 8-9 vs. 5-11 or whatever is minimal with a quarterback on a contract like that. May as well take advantage of the cheaper rookie contracts. Denver has no 5th-rounder, but an extra 6th in 2025 draft, and zero reason to try to be competitive right now. Had...

Yes. It was a fastball from Mike Torrez of the Mets that nailed a frozen Dickie Thon of the Astros in the face at the Astrodome in a night game on April 8, 1984. -- Dickie Thon looked dead as he lay on the ground after the pitch.

The Ripken-Young-Trammell troika was the first core of power hitting shortstops, but I think Ernie Banks was probably the first true middle-order power threat. He played the first half of his career at SS, and put up 512 career bombs. Not too shabby. Dickie Thon, before being hit in the head by a p...

Players like Wembanyama and Jokic are kind of an end result (not an actual end, obviously) of how the European style of skill development without regard for size helps them become dominant forces. The focus on "little man" skills transforms bigger players into unicorns.
