I think it is just part of his quirkiness. I used to watch his show on HBO all the time, and he used to bounce around on his leather chair like it was a trampoline, I never noticed any problem with his arm. Unless maybe something happened in the last 3 years.

Who here thought at the beginning of August that Uribe had any chance of getting 20 homeruns and ending up near .270-.280? I know I didnt. Kudos to him for one hell of a streak.

Im still pissed Ozzie left Freddy in for that final inning. All of the momentum swung in that inning, Cliffy and Luis gave us a 2 inning reprieve, but the momentum had already shifted. I like how Ozzie trusts his pitchers, but sometimes he has to call it like it is being shown, not how he wants to see it. Last night Freddy had no business being in the game past the 4th inning, much less the 5th.

Had this emailed to me. I had to share. Enjoy! The Bears' QB Carousel from Hell in one sentence……… Now, you might want to start in 1993 when Jim Harbaugh begat Peter Tom Willis (honest) who begat Erik Kramer-Steve Walsh-Dave Krieg-Rick Mirer and Steve Stenstrom (that's a real dude, I swear), but for a franchise as horribly troubled as the Bears, to me it only seems appropriate that the Bears QB Carousel from Hell begins with journeyman Jim Miller, who by the end of the 1999 season appeared to have found a home in Chicago, that is until he was suspended for the final four games after testing positive for a banned substance he inadvertently ingested from an over-the-counter supplement (of course, happens to everyone's quarterback, right?) -- thus ending his attempt to become the only Bears QB other than Sid Luckman (in, oh, 1943) to break the century mark in QB rating; now, if memory, Google, the Bears' media guide and the collective brainpower of my football fanatic friends from Chicago serves me correctly, that season Miller beat out someone named Moses Moreno and then replaced the ineffective No. 1 pick Cade McNown who, himself, had been filling in for the injured Shane Matthews; which didn't really make sense in the first place since the Bears passed over some guy named Daunte Culpepper (whatever happened to that guy?) to take McNown (not to be confused with McNabb, McNair, McMahon, McCown-Luke, McCown-Josh or McDonald, Ronald) -- who ended up being very offensive in his own way (he got nailed for parking in handicapped spaces at UCLA), just never on the actual playing field, which, of course, didn't stop then-coach Dick Jauron from having him lead the 2000 team to a 1-8 start until, mercifully, Miller was reinserted for two games at which time he blew out his Achilles tendon and had to be replaced by Matthews who was dumped, again, for McNown who went 14 for 40 for 133 yards, one TD and one pick in the final two games of the season (and pretty much his NFL career) after which things finally began to calm down behind center in Chicago in 2001 when the Carousel from Hell went a little something like this: Matthews in then Matthews hurt, Miller in for Matthews then Miller hurt, Matthews in, props to Matthews, whose legendary noodle-arm did muster one sweet Hail Mary against Cleveland, then Matthews out, Miller in for the playoffs, Miller knocked silly by Philly, Matthews in, playoff hopes over-and-out, causing the 2002 Bears team to do what any cutting-edge NFL brain trust does when in need of a talent infusion at quarterback: look to Rhode Island and Calgary -- meaning, former RI QB Ken Mastrole who was cut in favor of former CFL'er Henry Burris, which was a big mistake because Mastrole went on to play for the Firecats in Arena2 which, frankly, sounds like a made-up league, while Burris went 0 for 1 as a Bears starter with a passer rating of 28.4, by far the worst rating of the eight players -- Miller, Chris Chandler, Cory Sauter, Marty Booker, Leon Johnson, Brad Maynard and Brian Urlacher (39.9 passer rating after missing on one pass) -- who filled in for the chronically banged-up Miller during a 4-12 season that so thoroughly discombobulated the Chicago front office it reasoned that after Jake Plummer turned down huge coin to become a Bear, the answer for 2003 was former Steelers QB Kordell Stewart and his run-first-pass-worst style, which might have worked had he not been, sadly, sidelined by an (un) injury thus subjecting fans to the QB known as Chandelier whose play was so gross, man, the Bears had no choice, man, but to insert 2003 first-round pick Rex Grossman who, after becoming the first Bears rookie QB in 22 years to win his pro debut, started the last three games of the Jauron era and the first three games of the Smith era only to blow out his left wheel diving for a TD in Week 3 of 2004, something that, of course, the Bears were totally prepared for -- right? -- because seamlessly in stepped Jonathan Quinn, from the Cradle of Quarterbacks known as Middle Tennessee State, to throw for a net 34 yards in Week 5 and 49 more in Week 6 before being replaced by Craig Krenzel, who cranked things up a notch, exploding for 69 yards in Week 7, which is enough to make the QB Ring of Honor in a place like Chicago, until he was re-re-re-replaced by Quinn and then by Jerry Jones reject Chad Hutchinson who, luckily, was there to lead the team to dead last in nearly every major statistical passing category and a QB nadir of such incalculable depth that the team actually signed Jeff George, a guy disliked more in locker rooms than impetigo, who, thankfully, wasn't invited back to 2005 camp, which left room for the kind of quarterback who embodies the Bears QB Carousel from Hell: Kurt Kittner (cut by five teams in seven months last season); and recent No. 1 QB Hutchinson (3-11 as an NFL starter), who was cut along with -- I swear -- someone named Ryan Dinwiddie, who the Bears still preferred, presumably, over other available 2004 free-agent QBs such as Kurt Warner, Jay Fiedler, Brad Johnson, Jeff Garcia, Drew Bledsoe, Kelly Holcomb and Lance Covington (no, that's a made-up name, I just wanted to see if you were still paying attention) who had all signed with other teams long before Grossman broke his ankle in the preseason; leaving only Jeff Blake (because, obviously Steve DeBerg did not return their calls) and bringing us (directly, simply, effortlessly ... finally) back to Orton who -- God love 'em -- even in light of what this week's opponent, Detroit, did to Hall of Fame QB Brett Favre in the 2005 season opener, still thinks he could be the one to end the Bears' QB Carousel from Hell, saying, "I know the recent history, so I know the city and all the fans want a talented quarterback who is going to go out there and play well and win a lot of football games. Hopefully, I am that guy -- I think I will be"; to which I respond, after taking a much-needed deep breath: Well, sure, Kyle, that's what the 30 guys before you said too.

I dont want you guys to think that I am the biggest fan of Green, and I am not going to defend him till my last breath, I just think he is better than the alternatives. Im a bears fan though, so i am hoping that Harris proves me wrong.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:01 PM) Actually he had 2 bad plays i can remember the PI a course and than he missed a tackle on Moss for that long reception. Obviously there had to be more to it than just this 1 game but im glad Lovie isnt hesitating to play the player he feels is the best even if its a rookie. This looks like it could be a really good draft for us with Benson, Bradley, Orton, and Harris.... Ive also heard a lot about this undrafted rookie we have Rashied Davis. That was Azumah

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:56 PM) and training camp and preseason So he was good enough to start all the way through the preseason, and then they just figured out in the first half that he cant cut it? GMAB Green is a good player within the system, but his strenth is when he plays up on the line against the run. he never has been the greatest cover FS, but I still think he is better than Todd "hit them hard" Johnson. The only thing I can recall about Todd Johnson is that he got completely dismantled by the Vikings in the metrodome last year, and started hitting people late.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:52 PM) Nate Vasher was the one with the PI call...? Im saying that it is my opinion that Green is being unfairly benched.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:49 PM) Mike Green is not getting benched just because of a pass interference call. I watched the game a few times and he was absolutely horrid. I'm surprised he made it through the 1st half before they decided to put in Todd Johnson. Hey, he had a bad game. he has been a starter for 2 years now, and he screwed up. Bench him for the game fine, But I think he is better than that. They judged his abilities on one half of the first game

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:49 PM) fiction opinion

Personally I think this is a really hasty and ill-advised decision. Mike Green is getting benched because he had a pass interference call, and that really bothers me. Last year i thought that of all the players, Mike Green benefited and grew in Lovie Smiths defense the most. I love Peanut Tillman, but he gets called for PI penalties. jerry azumah got burned by Santana Moss on a third and long. It just seems like Green took the blame for the loss. he contributed to 3 points for the Redskins, thats it. I dont see the D-Line getting benched for allowing 121 yards to Portis.

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-b...ov=ap&type=lgns Brooklyn Nets? Hmmm? I could get used to it, I suppose. This has been in the works for more than a year. a group of investors including Jay-Z bought the team and has been trying to move it to brooklyn if Brooklyn was willing to sell a large plot of land for the arena/center.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 01:27 PM) yes addy, I am. then you realize that there is a rather large sample size then. He was OC/QB coach for 4 years.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) Orton's rating was 52.8, I don't know why people are getting so excited. because the last guy who was the starter posted a 0.0 rating in the pre-season. 52.8 is pretty exciting considering THAT alternative. My thought on this is that Orton is going to have a good season...for a rookie. That could mean alot of different things, the most important thing being that orton has a full year of experience. if Orton makes it through the season, then he has 10 more games under his belt than Grossman. Saying Grossman is signed through next year really means nothing. The bears can cut him, and its a small hit on the cap. Grossman is in a bad career situation now, but there have been many QBs who have gone through the league known as injury prone guys and have done fine(Chandler and McNair come to mind). I do feel that Grossman could take away the starting position next year(provided Orton doesnt take the Bears to the playoffs), but I dont think it will be an open competition. I think Grossman is literally going to have to TAKE it away from orton. but competition for the number 1 QB is a good thing. Jerry Angelo just doesnt agree with it.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 09:49 AM) Duque to get 1 more shot vs. Twins ''[Hernandez] has brought me all the way to here to this point,'' Guillen said. ''I have a lot of confidence in El Duque. He had one bad outing. We're going to stay the same way, but in the next couple of days, we could change our mind when we see how El Duque feels.'' 'Right now El Duque should be the man because I feel that I let that man down when I took him out,'' Guillen said. ''I feel like people think that I just took him out because everybody wants McCarthy pitching. Well, I do, too. Everybody wants this kid to pitch. But when a guy has pitched for you all year long, I don't think it's fair for him to be treated like this. Wow Ozzie, there is no defending you on this one. One bad outing is really stretching it. And he hasnt pitched all year long, the guy had two spells on the disabled list.

QUOTE(Irishsox1 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) The funny thing is that I had never posted about Sox attendance in the 4 years as a member. Not once!...until the last KC series. Oh well, now I now....and learning was half the battle.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 12:48 AM) http://www.despair.com/effort.html I laughed out loud That is funny. Any potshots at France are generally funny

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) He blocked a kick that essentially won the game Vs the Titans last year. That's the only f***ing thing he's ever accomplished in the NFL, a blocked f***ing kick... Actually I think he has blocked more than one kick for the bears. If I recall correctly, he blocked a kick against St Louis in the game that his knee was destroyed in. I want to say he has blocked 2 or 3 kicks. I knew he was done as a bear when he was rolled up in St Louis. You could see the entire bottom side of his knee disjoint. Big guys just put too much weight on their legs to allow proper healing. Case in point, Frank Thomas.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 02:46 PM) Animals are jealous/protective by nature. Any chance Montecore smelled strange pussy on Roy? Something tells me that noone has ever smelled that on Roy Horn.....ever. QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) I remember reading somewhere the tiger was actually trying to protect Roy not hurt him and he was hurt more due to the strength of the animal (as you mentioned) not because he was trying to harm him. I haven't read many articles about what happened so this might be way off, just a memory that is tickling my brain. Thats what S & R are claiming, and have been saying right from the start. The attack wasnt what ultimately injured Roy, he ended up having a stroke due to the loss of blood in his brain and a blood pressure problem he has. Roy said that Mantecore sensed that he was about to have a stroke, and tried to get him off the stage for help. Not really a realistic reason, but thats what he told Maria Shriver.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) Yeah, but the Vegas boys basically said afterwards that these are wild animals and that is what they do. I don't think they ever claimed they should be domesticated. That is one of the things about these nuts, they knew they had fire at hand, and they did respect it, and even after the fact, they still respect it. Probably like some shark victims, they come away respecting the beast more. I believe the cat was put down, due to it having had the taste of blood, but I don't think they ever said that it wasn't their fault. I also agree that the people that are shocked by it are idiots, but I don't think they were ever "shocked" any more than anybody else watching a giant cat attacking your partner of umpteen years would be shocked. Heck, 2000 years of being domestic hasn't worked on many of the house cats I have seen!!! Montecore (the tiger that attacked Roy) was not put down, and still resides with Siegfried and Roy in their Secret Garden. http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/wild_cats/111218 I understand how you can say "They are wild animals you dummy!" about the shock value this attack had on S&R, but the fact is that they are not wild, yet not domesticated. these large cats are extremely pampered by S&R and those guys work with them etremely hard, but I think the problem is that they have all these instincts that they dont know what to do with, and they surface at odd and bad times. Wild, no. untrustworthy, yes. It is strange though, that the tiger didnt really attack and maul Roy. He jumped up and grabbed him around the neck, but he didnt shake him and "make a kill" like tigers do. He literally picked Roy up and carried him off the stage, and the damage (while severe due to the length and strength of the tigers teeth) was more incidental and very little indication of maiming or intent to do harm. Strange situation at the very least. The only people who probably know what really happened that night are probably in S&R's close circle of friends.

SIU all the way.
