Is there a shortstop or 2b the Cubs could trade us that wouldn't be an upgrade? Why are we having such hero worship to cement our average players as starters.

Gabbert Era starts in San Fran. Lol

Line up all the former governors and former senators and former x, its a crapshoot. The governor prior was awful. Obviously you disagree, and he failed in getting a party that had every political incentive to obstruct to not do so, but the last 6 years have seen measurable improvements in almost everything, and performed better than almost all of the other western democracies and continued to chug along as the rapid development countries peaked and waned.

I saw the martian on Friday. The climactic scene was a little much, but it was a fun movie. I wish Hollywood made more of these. They used to pump out like 10-12 of these a year it felt like.

You guys are probably right, good call.

So, Caplan saying they are just "swapping positions" for 6th and 7th picks, which makes zero sense. I can't find article saying anything like that.

Hypothetical: Say we just passed the golden era of football, with elite QBs running their own offenses slinging the ball all over the field, and everyone goes back to the St. Louis Rams set up. RBs start becoming elite items. Run and D. Would you lost some interest in football? This year has been thoroughly unenjoyable for me, and the QB play has been largely bad. If it keeps up like this I'm not sure how it will hold up. Now, I know it's probably a blip, just a hypothetical if the "passing league" trend reverses. WRs are more talented than ever.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) At least we made it interesting towards the end I suppose. But man we were ugly for 3QTS. I think the Magic have to end up trying to bring in a star of some sort by offering Vucevic and their 1st rounder to bring in a bonafide star at centre. Rough position to look for a star in.

Do you guys remember when Charlotte was a playoff team, and then we brought up Saladino, Micah, Trayce and EJ, and the team crashed? Charlotte has a new stadium, presumably they want to field a good team and sox signing some vet fodder is good. He's not blocking anyone.

Previously when that's happened they have brought in an additional TE/OL and tried to power for a bit. This time it was just screen screen screen.

I was frankly a bit annoyed that coming out of a bye week with jeffery/royal/bennett all healthy THAT was the gameplan we started with.

If you can get a 1st rounder for Alshon, trade him, but I don't see a reason to. WRs price tags have become more reasonable and he's a true deep threat. No idea why we can't just throw deep to him more.

Bulls just continue to be such a weird team. They are currently built around a deep frontcourt that...gets outrebounded nightly. We continue to focus offense through PGs that hold onto ball for way too long in the shot clock. When we signed hoiberg we really should have prioritized getting new guards. Signing brooks was idiotic.

Yeah there has been very odd play calling from gase. There is no point to Jeffery if you aren't going to feed him a jump ball

This game looks rough

I would pay Gordon for his defense alone. Our team has a great staff, we need to start making sure our great things are elite before we start weakening it to make our awful parts average.

Out assisted, out rebounded. Looks like same team.

He certainly could be a number of players.

Well apparently they are all still under contract. I'm guessing Lowe/Keri will move to insider content.

Honestly Grantlands biggest accomplishment is that I could actually name almost all of their writers and would read an article by them. Did an amazing job at promoting their talent.

They are paid to profess opinions on television and did so. His GoT recaps were must read.

Loved Barnwell/Mays, love Zach Lowe, love Jalen/Jacoby (though that'll probably continue since they're on the radio). ESPN looks so terrible with all this. Same and add Greenwald, Morris and Katie Baker when she actually wrote about hockey.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 10:29 AM) I think Carr has the best chance to be one of the better in the league. Although I'm not sure comparing a QB to Dalton is a bad thing. He is completing almost 68% of his passes and is on pace to throw 32 touchdowns and 5 int. I really don't mean it as an insult, but he's definitely not manning/brady/rodgers/brees territory where the QB is the team. Half that equation is now lost and only Luck looks close.

I have a hard time seeing any of those as something more than Andy Dalton. Mariota with the right coach maybe.
