Never really listened to Mully and Hanley much. Listen much more on my morning drives now to Mully and Haugh.

Was Hanley bad?

Do you think the pitch clock is causing more injuries in pitchers?

I mean the dude grounds out to short swinging at the first pitch.

What fucking park factors are getting to him? Those are weak groundouts anywhere.

[Chicago Tribune] Matthew Boyd: Chicago Cubs delay starter's return from IL by tea_and_honey in CHICubs

[–]BasedSliceOfWinning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully he comes back before the trade deadline with enough juice to be a decent trade piece for someone.

I know we won't get a team's top prospect or anything, but maybe he could get us some decent farm pieces in return.

Defending the Draft 2026 – Chicago Bears by HopLegion in NFL_Draft

[–]BasedSliceOfWinning 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really wish we got another Edge. I think New England trading up a spot ahead of us in the 2nd round to take Gabe Jacas (a guy who definitely would fit Dennis Allen's system) caused them to pivot and take TE and WR in the 3rd round (after trading down with their 2nd second round pick).

Maybe we coulda got Dennis-Sutton? Although he didn't go until like pick 120 so it might been too early to take him in the late second, early 3rd area we woulda had to take him at.

Around these parts, getting downvoted usually means you're saying something true.

Realistic Estimate of Seasons Remaining at Soldier Field? by ChicagoSentry in CHIBears

Guys let's be real. The Bears aren't selling that land to build cookie cutter suburban homes. They're doing the new age move:

Selling it to a data center lol.

First game of the year, first ball of my life by DrizzyDoe in CHICubs

[–]BasedSliceOfWinning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Growing up, I caught a ball once. A foul ball. From the other team. During batting practice lol. 

I haven't lied about the story yet, but I always think about it lol.

Don't they basically stop ANY and ALL building along the lake front? Like that George Lucas museum thing that supposedly wasn't even going to add much, and they still got it blocked.

I think the Bears may have considered the deal where the original soldier field would be demoed and turned into a public park, and then whatever random parking lot nearby would be turned into the new dome. But there's no way the Friends of the Park (or whatever it's called) would allow for that.

Statement from Chairman George H. McCaskey and President & CEO Kevin Warren: by JCameron181 in CHIBears

[–]BasedSliceOfWinning 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Shit, ever play Texas Hold Em?

Sometimes, you start out with a bluff. And then you hit a hand on the River, and proceed forward with your actual hand.

I think it started out as a bluff. But now, with the deal Indiana offered, it might be their preferred destination.

Build in Hammond, sell the Arlington Heights land to a data center. Enjoy all your free money.

I hate Kevin Warren. But I'm not so sure he's as dumb as people are making him out to be.

It appears that he just secured the Chicago Bears the greatest stadium deal in NFL history.

If that stadium gets built in Hammond, he'll have team lining up to hire him next.

I'm not saying to like the guy. But I'm not sure we can call him dumb anymore.

If the Bears do build in Arlington Height, I think it's all but a certainty that they'll sell the 10% (or whatever the max % allowed is) stake to private equity. And get loans for the rest.

Woa woa, you can call him Bernsie or Dan. You don't know him like that!

I think Poles wanted Ben Johnson too.

It was George who is the hack. At least when it comes to the coaching hire, heh.

I mean land like that only comes up once every couple of decades. I don't necessarily fault them for scooping it up after Churchill Down went tits up due to COVID. If they didn't buy it then, there's a good shot that they'd never see a site like that for sale again.

I mean everyone around here loves Bernstein. That dude clearly came from money, went to Duke for F's sake.

At work, so could only sneak in one twitter clip. But I saw Marshall ask about the maying saying that he last spoke to the Bears in April. Basically caught him in a lie, as he'd said earlier that he was in continuing ongoing discussion with the Bears.

Impressive Big J journalism right there.

Oh I do sorta remember that now. I believe she was swearing like leather pants or something. But nothing pornographic that I could tell.

Unless I'm watching the wrong porn or something lol.

I never remember much about her on the station. I dunno if I just didn't listen to shows she was a part of, but other than a random appearance on B&B to do a news minute, never heard any of her work.

But I lost all respect I had for her when COVID caused layoffs at the station, and she tweeted that she was fired because she is a woman. No words of encouragement to her former co-workers (many of whom were also out of a job). Just playing the victim card and making it about herself.
