QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 02:06 PM) Im not sure if anyone is being considered an "undercard". I can really only find information on Wisconsin- Minnesota (as that conceivably is the bigger game as its between 2 teams who have 11 NCAA championships between them). Supposedly Wisconsin is getting paid between $200-$250k to come (Wisconsin has one of the largest hockey stadiums of any NCAA team, Kohl Center holds 15,325) where as Notre Dame can only hold 5,000, Ohio 2,850 and Minnesota 9,305. From all accounts they are relying on a large Wisconsin turn out because Wisconsin sells out 15k and its replacing a home Wisconsin game (hence the payment to Wisconsin). Im sure that as its Chicago there will be a good amount of ND fans, ND hockey just isnt really comparable to Wisconsin though. I guess Im just not sure if the noon game or the late game is the "undercard". I was just giving you a hard time for slighting the other game. That being said, since 2007, Miami & Notre Dame have been much more successful than Wisco or Minny.

Personally I hated it when they brought him in the booth to ramble on, but he seemed like he was an awesome guy to hang out with. RIP Moose.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 12:35 PM) Thornton can face lefties and righties, so having a righty set-up man isn't as important for Sox as it is a lot of teams. I'll never understand the thought process of having someone who's anywhere from your 4th to 6th best reliever being your closer. Thing is, it's not like Santiago's future is as a closer anyways. The best team in baseball has their 3rd/4th best reliever as closer.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:19 AM) Well you have to be a little selective. Sometimes what you need is the best available or at least really close. All I know is I'm glad the Packers didn't pick for need in 2005. They definitely didn't need a QB, but took one anyway. Their starting QB was about to turn 36. That was absolutely a "need" pick.

It gets better, Delmon now being charged with a hate crime.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 07:45 AM) The funny thing is that I remember most of the talk being about him as an OLB, not a middle. I just heard this talked about on the Score recently. The Bears thought the same thing & played him at OLB where he struggled. Then whoever the middle linebacker was got hurt, Urlacher took his place, and the rest is history.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 11:36 PM) Mark Kotsay still around getting the big hits in San Diego Because he is being used as a pinch hitter, not an everyday DH. Ozzie.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 10:06 PM) This looks no different than previous Bears drafts, WTF's all around. You have one of the worst O-lines in the league, your biggest hole being LT and theres a starting one on the board and you take a f***ing tweener from Boise who by all account is weak and didnt dominate a weak conference slate. I agree with all of your points. I guess because it's a new GM I am giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe this DE will be JJ Watt 2.0. Maybe not though.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) took this from the talk bears board 2008: Drafted to play LT. Obviously injured. Fell behind the power curve for the rest of the season. 2009: Was slotted to play LT, but got moved to RT for 11 games when the Bears got Pace. Note the words, "flip-flop positions." Then finished up strong the last five games of at LT after Pace sucked. Game 1 - Chris Long, 3 tackles, 0 sacks. Game 2 - Clay Matthews, 5 tackles, 1 sack, multiple penalties (his one bad game) Game 3 - No DE did well, and only 1 sack was given up (Kelly Gregg, a NT) Game 4 - Jared Allen, 2 tackles, no sacks. Game 5 - Cliff Avril, 2 tackles, 1 sack 2010: Started the first two games at LT, did well. Then injured his hamstring. And instead of keeping him at the position he was drafted for, suited for, and starting in, when he returned from injury Tice moved him to LG because he needed Williams, who was probably the Bears best OLineman, to substitute for Garza (who was injured). And to pour salt in the wound, Tice thought the best starting five included Omiyale at LT. This can't be stressed enough. Williams did not lose the LT spot. Tice made a bad decision because he was worried about replacing Garza at LG. Instead of keeping Williams at LT and finding someone to replace Garza, he went the other way. He finished the season at LG (11 games). 2011: Started nine games at LG, got injured vs. the Lions, got placed on IR. Never given a chance at LT. To recap... 2008 - Injured 2009 - Got screwed because of the Pace signing, ended up replacing Pace 2010 - Started LT, got injured, then got screwed because he was versatile and Garza was injured 2011 - Never given a shot at LT while Webb sucked ass --------- I'd like to see the bears take the best available OL in the 2nd round if the draft a tackle you keep Williams at guard, if they draft a guard you move CW to tackle, if they draft a center move garza to guard and CW to OT Really hoping Zeitler is there and the Oline next year is Williams-Louis-Garza-Zeitler-Carimi Maybe you are right. I think it would be awesome if he could play LT. But Tice obviously doesn't think so, so Williams isn't playing LT unless something drastically changes. Maybe Tice is an idiot, and he is making the wrong decision, but who knows.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 10:00 PM) Yes he can play LT in the NFL. He played LT and TE at Iowa and has been graded as a LT in the NFL. Just dumb to not try and add an actual starting LT. Well if that's the case, then they should have taken him. People made it sound like Carimi could be a LT when he was drafted, and Tice has already thrown that out the window, injury or not. Either way, McClellan (SP? WTF?) better produce right away because Emery is gonna get judged about it from day one.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) Ugh a first round somewhat tweener from f***ing Boise? Fail. With a starting OT on the board you dont need that pick there. I hate it. Is Reiff good enough to play left tackle? If not, then whats the point, Carimi has RT. You already used one 1st rounder on a guy who is not a left tackle

Tampa gets their RB, Boise State's Doug Martin. One pick left!

Twitter is saying the 49ers take A.J. Jenkins at 30? I love my Illini guys, and I know SF has no WRs, but STRETCH, GET ON BACK THERE!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 09:38 PM) Yes, but someday it will be not because its April, but because he's lost it. You can say that about every single player...
