This is probably right, but does Poles getting another coach like Mike Vrabel, Kliff Kingsbury or Ben Johnson actually do anything? Or is it truly the ownership change that is needed since they Bears everything up?

Oh hell yeah!

I’m trying to understand several things: - How does JR make money off CHSN if games are over the antenna? Is it low overhead and no cable agreement? - Why didn’t they do something like Marquee? - What percentage of fans will buy the antenna to watch the games? Or will an agreement be reached with cable providers before the season? - What is the audio and visual quality of the channel? And several more…it just doesn’t make sense to me why there is no channel on cable and no app to stream/pay for. It makes me think some agreement should be reached. Maybe Laurence Holmes is right, the new channel will flash something on the broadcasts to have people call Comcast and complain to try and put pressure on the company (which I understand doesn’t have much to gain).

I actually enjoyed Bernstein and Holmes and kept them on during the workday and found Parkins and Spiegel to be hit or miss. I wasn’t a huge fan of Parkins and didn’t see the draw, but I think it depends on the kind of show people want to listen to. I’m more analytical and care less about gambling. Although “Can’t Do It” was fun when that was going on.

Awful line, nonexistent run game, no offensive rhythm. Williams hasn’t looked great. Fields is 2-0 for the Steelers.

Danny Parkins is leaving the Score on Friday. It makes me wonder what they will do to replace him. Maybe they will move Bernstein and Holmes to afternoons and bring Spiegel back to mornings with another partner.

Will they break the streak tonight?

D. The Fedde return was light. Kopech and Pham probably didn’t have much value. They needed something out of the Cardinals in that deal. I don’t really understand what the direction is in the offseason or years to come. I don’t know if I believe what fathom has said about their financial issues. These trades brought some prospects back but it isn’t clear where this franchise is headed, especially if they have budgets cut further year over year. They need to become the Rays in order to be competitive.

Please get your rest and I hope you have a restful and speedy recovery.

Prove it?

Then the Sox need to morph to become the Rays or end up like the Pirates.

That all makes sense. I both can and can’t see them just filling the roster with cheap veteran players to field a team next year. I guess it depends on if the theory JR is just getting ready to sell holds true. I’m hoping there will be more flip able and Fedde types signing but I’m not holding my breath. They probably need a reset with Crochet and Robert moves since they aren’t offering extensions to either of them and then we can evaluate where there needs are from the minors, something that isn’t quite clear with the trade “returns” we had today and tomorrow. Not just every need (like a competent GM which is wishful thinking or a new manager, an obvious and realistic need) but where our greatest player needs are all things considered.

It couldn’t be much worse than the endless Machado and Wheeler threads.

So are you saying that their payroll is open next year and they should be able to afford to sign players or are you more in line with fathom’s line of thinking that they are broke and won’t pay anyone worth anything?
