Delayed until the weekend. Server company has been backloaded and unable to process some stuff it has to do before we get to the real work.

He seems like a scheme cut not a talent cut and those happen. So definitely seems like a solid overall move.

Interesting - claiming him means they are going to pay him vs. waiting for him to go through waivers. Although I'm sure it is easier to waive him since Raiders are on the hook for his bonus, etc. I'm good with them taking a shot. Leatherwood was over-drafted as a FRP but a change of scenery could be a good option.

An Update: Likely will be Wednesday (vs. Tuesday) and I'll have an ETA on when the other behind the scenes stuff has to start (cause it could cause a more extended outage later today and/or tomorrow).

It is 100% not perceived. It is real. Maybe somehow we are shocked, but random dudes 3 or 4 years into the league like Brown/Pringle don't just become #2 wideouts very often. It could happen, sure. Mooney is a guy I love - he is a mediocre #1 but a great #2. Kmet is solid - probably shot at a top 10 maybe back end top 7 TE in time (and he's not far from there now). Montgomery is a solid, but not special back. No - that is one spot the Bears have earned there rep until proven otherwise. They had a top 7 or so unit one time (in terms of playmakers) in my life and that was Alshon, Bmarsh, Forte, and Martellus Bennett. That was a unit that had playmakers on every level of the offense (at skill position spot). That is what it means to have real weapons - the Bears, until they show something otherwise are far from it. They can get there - but it will take time and they need to invest more picks to it and reality is probably some cap space.

Tuesday is the likely day - first thing in the AM PST. If something changes I'll let you know - there may also be some moderate down time tomorrow when we look to do some pre work on the server side.

That said - I liked in general what I saw. But the lack of playmakers at receiver is a huge issue still but you can’t fix everything in a offseason.

The 0-16 Lions went 4-0 in the preseason as well. At least I think they did.

All - with the season heading down the tubes I am taking a last ditch extremely superstitious effort to get the club on track and will be working through some upgrades to the forum software sometime next week. Intent is for it to be a one day outage but given size of this board always a risk it drags a bit longer. If it does I’ll get a back up forum up in the meantime but want to make sure I get everything upgraded given some of the slowness issues people were running into on their mobile device etc. Wanted to give you all a quick heads up - I’ll post a more updated timeline as I get closer to it.

And that is dramatically undercutting the impact of the shoddy defense. When you don't get to the ball cause your outfield range is terrible - it doesn't count as an error.

I wonder if some of this is due to the stadium fiasco that happened (which was probably what he wanted to finish before selling and now he's ready to do sooner). Either way - good intentions as an owner but I for one (as an Angel fan) look forward to a new owner, whose first order of business should be to rebrand them and remove any affiliation of LA from the team name.

The crazy part is Tony had him go anyway even though Cease could easily have gone today if you knew Kopech had some difficulties (and just have him get an extended rest or even skip his turn in the rotation).

Do you have signatures on in your settings?

One other question - what theme are those of you running into using? I run on Soxtalk 3.1 Light.

It is just what you would see when you visit from phone/ipad. Just makes the experience a bit easier (but nothing you need to do on your end).

Do you all have things like signature images on or off (for those that have issues)? I have all of that stuff off - so really all I see are the posts and the ads (nothing more or nothing less). I do see posters avatars though. Just trying to trouble shoot to understand the driver to see if we can fix.

Correction - I do not use the theme that has privildges - so I have no issue. Do those of you running into issues have ad blockers on your mobile or anything unique? I can use chrome or safari no issue (from wifi or non wifi).

I almost always use mobile and have zero issues.

Thank you both - didn't realize this was a one game makeup. Makes total sense.

What is the driver of the Monday game being an afternoon game? Kids are all back in school (I think) - or maybe that is just in my state they are back in school. It isn't a get away day or anything.

This was my main observation. I don't expect a lot cause they are still devoid of talent - but I like what I have seen from this new regime thus far.

Fun fact - I stayed for the entire 19-0 game in 2002 in Anaheim. I did a lot of laughing that night and can still remember exactly where I was sitting for that game.

That is utterly hilarious and sad but man such a nice win today against a good team.

Somehow win an opening game of a series. Not expecting much so surprise me in a good way….

I don’t think we are perfect but doing well enough. This quote says it all (unless taken out of context). Just goes back to what I have been saying…the standard and time at the top is weak, what the coaching staff accepts is weak, and the players are soft and mentally weak (there own fault but TLR ain’t helping matters). They fire the mgr and they could have went on a Phillies like run.
