The bottom line is, that Republicans are more concerned with removing ACA because it came from Obama, than they are about actually fixing the healthcare system. This is what's wrong with the bipartisan political system in this country.

Former Wrestler Jimmy "SupaFly" Snuka passed yesterday.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 08:57 PM) Obama let Republicans belittle him for eight years. In essence he was the Jackie Robinson of presidents.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 11:48 AM) Well, it seems very unlikely that Fangio would get a HC gig at this point (since San Francisco would already know him pretty well and didn't act in the past and appears focused on an offensive head coach (presumably one of Shanny / McDaniels). That said, it could be that at some point one of these teams reaches out to Fangio to be the DC and he could ask Fox and Fox (depending on the relationship) could allow Fangio to leave. I will say, if Fox stinks, on my realistic list, Shanny would be my top choice (Harbaugh is my actual #1). I can't believe he hasn't gotten a gig this year already (presume San Fran will hire him or Josh). Perhaps, SF is waiting to interview a coach that's on a playoff team.

The early Patriots played at Fenway when it was about 37,000. What was the Wrigley capacity for the Bears?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 09:48 PM) When is the last time a NFL team played in such a small stadium? How big was the Milwaukee County Stadium the Packers played in sometimes in the 90s? The Bears played a few championship games in Chicago Stadium waaay back. Not sure about full-time, though.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 02:20 PM) So confession time. Today is day 52 of my sobriety. Some random combination of an always-brewing controlled alcoholism plus lots of nights where wife and kid were in bed nice and early had me drinking like a mad man. I came to a point where it just had to stop yay those days ago, and needless to say life is pretty good. Anyone else out there ever struggle with booze? I just always wanted 10 after I had one and kept finding reasons to have that one which led to the 10 and so on. While I was a high-performing gentleman prior to quitting drinking, I think I'm only now starting to realize the very real benefits of not drinking the massive amount of booze I was consuming on a most-of-the-time nightly basis. I'm pretty stoked. Anyway, likely TMI for an internet message board, but y'all's my peeps! Congrats, Steve. It takes a mature man to admit his problems and get himself right.

Rivers traded to Denver for 2nd round pick. Romo traded to Chargers for 2nd round pick. Seems fair, unless the Chargers want to get younger.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 10:16 AM) LA is cornering the market on bad football teams I don't think that Chargers are horrible. They are certainly good at the QB/RB positions and their rush defense is pretty solid.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) Chargers officially move to LA. I can't imagine that ends well unless they win a lot of games right away. LA barely wants one team, let alone two. They're temporarily moving to a tiny 30,000 seat stadium. That can't end well financially.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 08:53 AM) Knightni is probably right about the Bears, but dang it would suck if Chicago skipped all of the top first round talent to reach for a quarterback. If they could trade down, get Cleveland's #12, the Cle #1 in 2018, and Cle's 2nd in 2017, maybe they could get a QB and someone else.

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Maybe someone else will as well. 1. Pat Mahomes - San Francisco - 1st Round 2. DeShone Kizer - Chicago - 1st Round 3. Mitch Trubisky - New York Jets - 1st Round 4. DeShaun Watson - Cleveland - 2nd Round 5. Davis Webb - Houston - 3rd Round Cleveland will be gun shy about drafting a 1st round qb and SF will buy into the Mahomes hype. Watson will slide to the 2nd because of his lack of pro style in college and his size.

I highly doubt that Moncada stays at 2b.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 03:28 PM) Guys who are going to be drafted this year or overall? Edited for clarity.

Can anyone who followed college football more than me this year, make a list of top five 2017 Draft eligible CFB QBs by their NFL readiness/ability? Not in order of the best QB via college results; the most potential NFL skill. Also, please estimate where they will be drafted and by what team. Thanks! It can be multiple people, I just want to see if there's a consensus out there.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 06:59 PM) Colby Rasmus to the Devil Rays. Is this 2007?

The Bears might as well trade down and try to get two picks. There are so many quality QBs in this draft that one is bound to fall into the teens.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 11:36 AM) If Buffalo really declines Tyrod Taylor's option, the Bears should be all over him. Only 27 and pretty good. I'd go for that. Use the #1 on better non QB players.
