There aren't any superstars in there, but they also traded away some of their most valuable picks for Jake Cutler. There are some decent mid-level players, and the 2012 Bears, especially on defense, is pretty much entirety a creation of Angelo (to the extent that some players predate Angelo, he's been responsible for keeping them, which in some cases, like Lance Briggs, has been no mean feat).

On the other hand, pull up the past few drafts for Kansas City. The Chiefs are the worst team in the NFL (or at least close), and the Bears just hired their head scout to run football operations. Weeeeeeee


Urlacher, Briggs and Tillman all predate Angelo. Peppers was a finished product who just happened to be a FA at a time when the Bears were flush with cap space. I'll give Angelo credit for the rest of the group.


You're wrong, Good Dolphin. Briggs and Tillman came from Angelo's 2nd draft class. That was the 2003 draft. This is Angelo's defense. The only starter he didn't draft was Urlacher and he's not contributing much this year anyway. The only backup that's not Jerry's guy Shea McClellin. He's not doing much this year either. So Jerry Angelo gets all of the credit.

I mentioned in the Game Plan that Laurence Holmes might be scratched from the lineup tonight due to voice problems.

Guess what? Holmes indeed lost his voice, and won't be on this eve when the guys wrap up @ 6P. Joe Ostrowski, usually Laurence's Executive Producer, will pinch hit in Laurence's nighttime slot. "Hater Wednesday" will be part of the nighttime SCORE come 9P.

What, with "Connor McDoink"? He was trying to say "Connor McKnight." That's what makes it a great malaprop. Everyone transposes words. It's something special to cough up your own name.

Yeah, he gets a lot of love from B&B, but he's had some Offman like misspeaks. I still dont know how one could actually say "Jay podium at the Cutler".

Okay, does anyone really think Terry read and comprehended the NHL's CBA proposal? I read it this morning, and even I had to uncross my eyes a few times to decode a lot of the verbiage, and I've had an eye on NHL business news since 2009.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=6435 ... L|NHL|home

Yeah, I'm sure Terry was like "oh man, there are gonna be a lot of unintended consequences to Retained Salary Transactions. They'd better be careful."

I guess I assumed he was trying to rush through his name to say something "doink"-like. Knight and Doink aren't even close. Just curious, Hair.

Oh, I don't remember what the next word was. I think by the time he identified himself as Connor McDoink, there was some significant time spent getting the train back on the rails.

Does anyone think Terry reads anything beyond the Sun Times or Trib copies that are dropped on his lap when he deems to do the show in studio? The guy's only "sources"-not including his guy of course- for info/stories seem to be from Real Sports or SI.

Quote:
Using an assumed year-over-year growth rate of 5% for League-wide revenues, the new CBA could result in shortfalls from the current level of Players' Share dollars ($1.883 Billion in 2011/12) of up to $149 million in Year 1 and up to $62 million in Year 2, for which Players will be "made whole." (By Year 3 of the new CBA, Players' Share dollars should exceed the current level ($1.883 Billion for 2011/12) and no "make whole" will be required.) Any such "shortfalls" in Years 1 and 2 of the new CBA will be computed as a percentage reduction off of the Player's stated contractual compensation, and will be repaid to the Player as a Deferred Compensation benefit spread over the remaining future years of the Player's SPC (or if he has no remaining years, in the year following the expiration of his SPC).

Look, in my hockey world, that's bad.

Two things. Laurence really did lose his voice at the end of last night's show. He won't be on tonight as a result. As for the latest NHL proposal, the Sun-Times' Adam Jahns, who was a guest on Holmes' show last night, just tweeted this:

"#Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews called the latest NHL going public with the latest proposal a "tactic" to sway public opinion."

In plain English, that probably means no deal.

Boers said a few minutes ago "there's been talk that no pitcher will ever do the old 1-4-7 again, but if anyone can do it, Verlander can."

What does that mean?


Start those 3 games in a series.

Oh. I thought that had been done a few times in the last several years so I didn't even think of it. Is that not true?



I seem to remember Carpenter starting 1,5,7 last year.


Verlander has pitcher twice in the last almost 3 weeks and he will most likely have several days off before his next start. I'd be shocked if he didn't go three games in a World Series. I think Buhrle started two and closed out another game in 2005.

If I remember, Mark Buehrle actually saved 1 of those White Sox winners in the 2005 World Series vs. the Astros down in Houston.

Joe Montana angry? :lol: :lol:

I'll always remember the story from the Super Bowl right before Montana led them down the field in the final 2 minutes. During the timeout, just as the drive is starting, Montana tapped an O-lineman, pointed to the crowd, laughed, and said, "Hey, look over there......it's John Candy!" :lol:

First, Nike. Now, Anheuser-Busch, brewers of Budweiser of course, has dropped sponsorship of disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong.

Sydney: Look, you know, you're embarrassing me. That's what you're doing.
Billy: Yeah, well that's the other thing I'm doin'.
Sydney: I can't believe this. You're not embarrassing me. You're pissing me off. That's what you're doing.
Billy: Well, good. 'Cause unlike those guys, I assume you play better when you're mad. Am I right?

Dan has to believe that or he'll go legally insane.

No doubt. I'm thinking the reality is that while he's pissed, he'll find solace being knee deep in skeezes and an unlimited supply of cash. And if he's as delusional as Dan says, denying everything not just publicly but psychologically according to DR Bernstein, then wouldn't that mean in his world, he still has his titles?

Oh what the fuck, now Lance Armstrong is now a monster? Really? Dan of all people should have allowed the Sandusky thing to grant us some perspective regarding hyperbolic words applied to sports.

I'm pretty certain they've referred to him as one of the worst people in the world before.

In their defense, he's a pretty evil dude.

Maybe im missing something. I don't care about the fact he cheated, I view it similarly to the way JORR does. Then he lied and sorta continues to lie about it. Ok so that makes him a cheater. Not s good trait but far from evil. Then he profited from his charity but also did raise money for cancer research and treatment also. Maybe he wasnt very upfront about the percentage of it that actually went to the research/treatment. That's pretty shitty but also pretty common with a lot of corporations that work with charities, like the nfl. Finally, he left his wife when she supported him through everything.

Basically he's sort of a douchebag, at worst. Their vitriol is pretty misguided.

Right. He's probably a douchebag, but he's done more to help people than Dan couldn't ever dream to.

Just terrible radio. I see how people felt with the Sandusky stuff and it's only been a couple days at this point.

I don't know about that. Nobody even knew about sexual abuse until Dan had the courage to bring the Sandusky story to his audience. They were literally the only show taking such a strong stand on the issue of child abuse. Great American heroes? I say yes.
