  1. John King and the CNN reporter, Nick Valencia, at the scene in DeKalb County said that the early votes have yet to be counted but there is 63% of the vote remaining. Chatham County and DeKalb County are their only hope.
  2. It’s hard to tell if the Democrats have the votes to make up ground and where the republicans still have margins. It depends on turnout...I’m still seeing lots of votes still around Atlanta and in Chatham county.
  3. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/elections/2014/09/23/mcconnell-turtle/16092593/
  4. Parkins said there is no announcement on a new contract or Spiegs officially rejoining the show, but Spiegs was on the air today.
  5. https://www.radio.com/670thescore/sports/leila-rahimi-joins-dan-bernstein-form-new-midday-show-670-the-score This is outstanding news, I’m happy to hear it. If Spiegs gets to be Parkins’ partner again I will be ecstatic.
  6. Fair enough so you fire Pace. What do you do with Nagy? What do you do to the roster if they hired a football mind to be Pace’s boss and Nagy stays?
  7. When you say declining, do you mean in terms of age or statistically speaking? As if they actually had a choice in cornerbacks with higher upside than the youngsters, unless McManis was that option. What would your plan be for this offseason? Trade Mack but keep Hicks? Where’s the upside in that? What would be your plan for this offseason? How do we know they won’t make changes? Which means Kamara can play, Joniak and Thayer mentioned he couldn’t play if it was next Saturday because of the COVID-19 protocol.
  8. So I didn’t read the whole thread, but is Hendriks viewed as the upgrade and Colome is still considered to be solid out of the pen? Hopefully they don’t miss out on both of them.
  9. Paul Konerko has $1,000,000 on the payroll for 2021 but that was probably already planned for years ago. I was surprised to see that this morning.
  10. Mark Levin’s op-ed has some factual flaws: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theblaze.com/amp/levin-on-january-6-we-learn-whether-our-constitution-will-hold-2649701271 The voters in Michigan changed voting rules, the legislature in PA made changes with the Governor the year before, PA Supreme Court judges were picked in 2015 and not in 2018 and his argument on Georgia is more of an opinion. He is not the ground source of truth like his followers must think he is. I guess he’s just pissed about the high turnout and giving people a chance to vote during a pandemic.
  11. I could be sold on that idea, but tell that to the fans who want someone different in there.
  12. Rami is dull and is another Parkins. Spiegs has a bunch of energy and has good baseball insights. They would be better served bringing on Spiegs and Rahimi, even though I wonder if she’s better on TV. Thanks for sharing what I missed!
  13. I haven’t listened this week. Where did you read that? Would love Rahimi and Bernstein and Spiegel and Parkins.
  14. Thank you for sharing this with them, we need more guidance in our high schools.
  15. Yes, though I think I read them. Why not offer stimulus checks to those who demonstrate need instead of across the board? I still don’t know why I needed $600 and $1,200...
  16. I don’t know. Quarterbacks named Brady and Prescott started and they weren’t first rounders. Why not have a kick ass offensive line and a quarterback that is above average at best if you can’t get a decent one in the first round?
  17. Couldn’t they just draft a tackle and find their Jalen Hurts in the second round?
  18. I think many have already addressed this but as we get closer, what are the predictions for the Georgia runoff? Who you got?
  19. Follow Sweden’s example in the U.S. they said. It will work they said.
  20. Well folks, he was bluffing and signed it: https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-nw-second-stimulus-check-updates-20201227-lcuwnmemifapxht4f7jcltmjmi-story.html

  22. Next year doesn’t look better for the Bears in terms of the schedule - Brad Biggs pointed out they would play the Cardinals, Ravens, Bengals, 49ers, the Browns, Rams, Steelers, Seahawks, Buccaneers and the winner of the NFC East. That could help support the argument for blowing things up or staying the course, depending on how you look at next year’s schedule and the outcome of this year. At least they can clear some cap space by cutting Graham, extending Hicks, cutting Leno or Massie, reworking Jackson’s contract or cutting Skrine. Painful moves are definitely going to be made, though the Bears won’t be the only team to have to do so.
  23. Adults can change jobs every 3-4 times on average but careers? How often would someone from business go to nursing and then go to another trained profession in a lifetime? Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. High school kids need to know what they are good at, what they have an aptitude for and what they are interested in so they know the careers that are available. Let’s say a kid is a journalism major, goes to school and finds out he doesn’t like journalism anymore or where the job market is. He switches to business and graduates. Then he goes and works at some job in business. He finds out that he has an interest in helping people and because he knew what weaknesses could be strengths in terms of coursework, he goes on to be a nurse. Wouldn’t it be better to know what you are capable of, have an interest in and an aptitude for before you go to college? Smart inventories or aptitude tests could at least offer some better guidance instead of floundering and trying on different shoes to see what fits. It might help better decisions being made sooner. Otherwise someone in the working world could have responsibilities and be fucked or slow to make a career change because of responsibilities. I’m probably off base but I do think better career assessments are needed earlier on for high school kids.
  24. You also forgot to mention that if they made another change, it would be hiring both their fourth GM and fifth coach since 2010. Why would hiring another tandem right the ship? Also I was responding to “The Bears need a football minded person to be Pace's boss.” Not even a football mind as president and Pace or Nagy keeping their job would be enough for them.
