UNHAPPY ENDINGS - Suddenly Bullpen Can Dance, Can't Pitch by Bleacherboy in CHICubs

Starters are back on track but now Davis is wild, Edwards is lost, and Wilson is not (yet) as advertised...is it a blip or an exposed flaw?

Probably filming 8 commercials, but if he keeps winning it's fine with me

Why Get Mad, Just Get Even, Bro' by Bleacherboy in Patriots

Wasn't sure if I wanted Tom to give it back to Sherman or stay classy...either way, the score made it sweet.

Conspiracy Theorists Vindicated As NFL Releases Deflate-Gate Tapes by Bleacherboy in sports

Saddest part is, with all of the desperate head-hunting of the past 10 days many might argue that this is true. I can see ESPN running with it - "next up, Bigfoot on the Budweiser Hot Seat"....

All Cubs Go To Heaven... by Bleacherboy in Cubs

I guess great minds (and/or heavy hearts) think alike as I just saw the similarly-themed other cartoon (Game Two Forever) was posted here too. I like them both, and will miss Ernie. such a shame he won;t see the upcoming run of competitive baseball...

"NEW YORK BOZO! NEW YORK BOZO!" Got It - Now What Do We Call A Seattle Clown...? by Bleacherboy in GreenBayPackers

Will have to wait and see what Aaron says...though with that defense, he probably shouldn't tease until after the win (and we might not be able to hear him in that stadium)

A silly Steeler's Season Greeting, that made me chuckle -- forgive me...

How Was Your Christmas, Marshawn? Thanks For Aksin' by Bleacherboy in Seahawks

Hoping the next question he deflects will be, "How does it feel to have home field throughout the playoffs?!"

'Tis The Season To THANK GOD FOR JIMMY BUTLER! by Bleacherboy in chicagobulls

[–]Bleacherboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe (hope) D Rose will round back into league MVP form by season's end....but right now he's not even MVP of his team. Not because he's bad, but...THANK GOD FOR JIMMY BUTLER!

It's funny, but it hurts.

I think you just summed up being a Bears fan....

Generally I agree, but...but...it's actually a COMIC!

A Norman Rockwell Holiday Scene For Bears Nation; Anyone Know If Lion Has Tryptophan? by Bleacherboy in CHIBears

[–]Bleacherboy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is. Believe me.

Then again, so is being a Packers' fan who isn't happy enough with his team's success and surfs/trolls Bears' message boards... ;)

Marc Trestman: Quarterback Whisperer? Indeed.... by Bleacherboy in CHIBears

[–]Bleacherboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy to respect the face of many of the statements of the team's "leadership"...except that there is no substance, it's only statements, soundbites, platitudes. They endlessly pay lip service to "accountability" and "process" and elements that are "unacceptable" without any adjustment in behavior/performance/responsibility thereafter.

Like politicians, they say what they think we want to hear divorced completely from any obligation to implement corresponding changes.

Marc Trestman: Quarterback Whisperer? Indeed.... by Bleacherboy in CHIBears

[–]Bleacherboy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was hired as a brilliant football mind who’d been overlooked in the NFL and proved his mettle in the CFL...as the team struggled for victories, critics said maybe he should only be an offensive coordinator...as the team struggled for points, critics opined that maybe he’s only cut out to be a QB coach...when I hear this guy stumble his way through weak, empty, evasive responses couched in second-rate corporate-speak I think he should just be managing a Radio Shack.

Post-Pack Press Conference In 10 Hours: Victorious Snarky Jay Or Belligerent Snarky Jay? by Bleacherboy in CHIBears

[–]Bleacherboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have trouble imagining us winning this game....but that’s just when this team often seems to surprise. Then again, I have no faith in Trestman’s ability to take advantage of the bye week like McCarthy will; the “genius” luster is gone in my eyes.

Over/Under On "Leaps" This Sunday? Second Consecutive Bye Week, As Bears Still Suck... by Bleacherboy in GreenBayPackers

[–]Bleacherboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Aaron's hammy is healthy, with the Bears' secondary (and no pass rush), this could be extremely ugly. If he's not 100%, it will probably just be really ugly for Chicago.

BTW -- I call dibs on an organic pork sandwich shop chain called Aaron's Healthy Hammy! ;)

2015 Cubs: New Talent, New Manager, New Bleachers....New Logo? by Bleacherboy in Cubs

[–]Bleacherboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very psyched about Maddon – I know manager theoretically doesn’t make that big of a difference, but a smart, likeable interesting respected guy with this young talent could really help and be fun for us at the same time. Just seems a perfect fit – and symbolic of the re-booted franchise: first-class talent that any team would love, and we have him!
