QUOTE (SouthSideTeacher @ Dec 20, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) umm, wtf is this? ROSE ANNOUNCEMENT WEDNESDAY. Chicago Bulls set to host press conference Wednesday featuring Derrick Rose, John Paxson, Gar Forman, and Tom Thibodeau. BullsTV to stream the press conference live on Bulls.com at 11:00 AM CT from the Berto Center. Retirement I assume

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Dec 20, 2011 -> 03:00 AM) So I just downloaded the most recent rosters in madden and here is what they have for the current Bears offense and their overall ratings: Hanie- 70 Barber- 75 Clutts- 54 Hester- 79 Williams- 76 Bennett- 77 Davis- 78 Spaeth- 68 Webb- 69 E. Williams- 70 Garza-74 Spencer- 81 Louis- 68 So anyone who complained we let Kruetz go and picked up Spencer better eat some crow because without him were looking at an exclusively under 80 offense. Because most here would agree basing your thoughts of a team on Madden rankings is perfectly acceptable.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 19, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) I'd take a veteran QB with an uncomplicated playbook of 15-20 plays over an overly complicated playbook in the hands of a QB that shouldn't be playing on an NFL team. So we should have fired Martz once Cutler went down then.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 19, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) No way we are beating GB and Minny...it's all on Hanie who is not an NFL QB and the Bears FO for not going after McNabb, he CAN NOT be worse than Hanie. lol at those who said we'd go 4-2 or 3-3 with Hanie, how 'bout 0-6? You mean like the Vikings who dumped him for the s*** QB's they have?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) J4L you know I love ya but all you've done the last two yrs in this thread is be completely wrong and you keep trying to shoot down peoples opinions, doesn't work that way bud. You mean to tell me that say the Bulls didn't have Rose....they wouldn't be salivating over a Kidd for Deng trade right now?!?!?!?!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) lol. I can totally see why Felix thinks this section of the board is a joke. Yeah, got people classifying Kidd as being better than guys like Deng at age 67

Jenksycat: Cowley is a hack "journalist" who shouldn't have a job

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 07:13 PM) If you count Sunday's game then John Skelton is 4-1... But....what is his stance on jahova god almighty

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 05:33 PM) No, I don't think he is. That's the reasoning around here. 2005 was a long time ago. So he's worse than Bogans in every aspect of the game then?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 05:08 PM) Well let's not take everything away from the guy. He's a hell of an athlete, he does have a very high competitive desire to win, and he does manage to make big plays in the 4th quarter when his team needs them. He does seem to forget about technique and mechanics in the 4th quarter, and just let his talent take over. That may indeed allow him to play more freely or with less mistakes towards the end of the game. Part of the allure is also that he brings such a different attitude to the position because it is required for his survival. Tony Siragusa said something during the game Sunday like "It's just so refreshing to see a quarterback run and not slide." Now obviously, that is uncommon because it's been anecdotally proven that a quarterback won't be able to stay healthy in the long run that way (Mike Vick), but because Tebow has no other choice (sliding is a luxury he does not have), the public enjoys watching him take on linebackers and making a mockery of DLineman chasing him behind the line of scrimmage. The real key for me will be how does the public treat him in 3-5 years when he is just a memory of an exciting player from 2011-2012. "The public" will forget about him and go back to not watching the NFL like they did a year ago. Take the dumb religious aspect out of this crap and nobody gives a s***. It's so stupid

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 04:49 PM) Oh my goodness. Again, Rip is awful. He's old, unathletic, can't create a shot for himself or anybody else, and is a hack defensively. He's better than Keith Bogans so that's an upgrade? lol. The Bulls were not 62 wins good last year. Their division was terrible. It might be terrible again. Who knows. They still have nobody to take the scoring/playmaking load off of Rose. They have nobody that commands a double-team inside. Boozer, even when healthy, is a hack defensively. Athletic front-courts eat him for breakfast. And the Knicks now have the best front-court in the east. Even with the Knicks' deficiencies last year, they're a 50+ win team with 'Melo. Amare/Melo should be even better this year now that they've had a chance to mesh some. Tyson Chandler changes everything. Talk about Dirk all you want. Tyson's elite defensively abilities were the difference between last year's Mavs and all the other chocking teams they've had in the past. Their backcourt is not terrible. Fields > Rip. No question there. I can think of a lot worse PGs than Douglas. Knicks, Bulls can go either way. But the Knicks have improved. The Bulls simply haven't. So you agree Rip is better than Bogans...but don't agree that it's an upgrade? You realize that makes 0 sense, correct?

It's funny, all guys like Kyle Orton and Grossman did were "win" for a while, but got 0 credit because everyone could see they sucked. But Teblow is the rare case where his teams defense is playing exponentially better over the course of this "miracle" run + a game like the Bears where he literally had no impact on the victory...yet he gets praised like the 2nd coming. Religion does funny things to logic

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 04:02 PM) And will probably be injured for 2/3 of the season. This page is hyperbole central. Rip doesn't serve a single need for us? Really? Nope, Bogans is just light-years better.

QUOTE (Espy.Teahen @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) I did not see a prevent in OT or when the broncos got inside the 40 in the 4th. Bleh, I'll stick with the one thing I do actually like about Tboner: you instantly know whether or not someone knows anything about football by their stance on him.

QUOTE (Espy.Teahen @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 11:15 AM) It definitely started working when the Bears were getting winded in the cold mile high air. But who cares about silly things like that. It worked until the Bears coaching staff decided to stop playing the style of defense that held the almighty Teblow to a big 0 all day.

Rules out a possible DRose-D12 duo in CHI Not that we didn't know this. Eh screw him. I don't want a "superstar" who also wants to be a GM. Sure superstar, even though you didn't go to college and probably read at an 6th grade level, i'll make sure to consult you on how to spend hundreds of millions of dollars.

QUOTE (Espy.Teahen @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 11:03 AM) Broncos don't win without Prater, but they don't win without Tebow, either. Definitely would take Tebow over half the qbs in the league. He is a pioneer at the position. This style was never given a chance for guys like Charlie Ward, Tommie Frazier or Eric Crouch. Good to see it working with Tebow. Except it wasn't working against the Bears, but who cares about silly things like that.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 04:23 PM) I don't understand why people are so up in arms about this. The league (owners) own the team. The league (owners) pay the salaries of the various people associated with the team. The league (owners) have to consider whether it's fair to allow a team like the Lakers to get another superstar to the detriment of the league (owners). The problem was the league pretending that NO was going to be run without some kind of oversight from Stern. It should have made known up front that the guy who works on behalf of the owners is going to control and manage the franchise owned by the owners collectively. This whole post is the problem...the league shouldn't own one of it's own f***ing teams. Its a s***ty team that loses money and nobody wants to buy....hmmm I wonder what should have been done with it.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 12:03 PM) If Cutler doesn't get hurt they are probably 10-3 right now. So I don't really think that was bathing in kool-aid. They were playing well. By bathing I mean legitimately thinking they could beat anyone. In '06 and last year, while fun, I knew they didn't have a chance at winning it all. But with a somehow still clicking defense, ridiculous ST, and finally a respectable offense I thought there was a chance for the first time.

I was bathing in the Bears kool-aid like never before. I honestly thought we'd win out and end the packers run. So bad

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 11:34 AM) Possible even a TD run which would have sealed a win, but no, instead he fumbles and there goes the Bears season. Cost them the game, but the Bears season ended a few weeks ago when the QB went down because Knox can't run a route.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 10:09 AM) Yes. All pro yes, greatest QB season ever? No

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 09:51 AM) FTFY. It's disgusting watching so many teams who have MULTIPLE WR that would be far and away #1 on this team. The packers have like 4 alone that would be 1's on our team

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) Sorry, I don't buy it. Closing games is a huge difference between winning and losing. It was the difference between us and the pacers, and it was the difference between us and the Heat. edit: I don't want to come across as uber negative on the bulls. But that series wasn't close. When you lose in 5 games, it wasn't close. I'm optimistic the bulls will be much improved by merely being together another year and being young, however, I don't buy that "we were a few shots shy of beating the heat" Then by that definition you would agree the Mavs were vastly better than the Heat?

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) We weren't in the series, we lost 4-1. Haslem completely stabilized their big problem. Eh, we only lost 1 game bad. Couldn't close out the other 3
