The NFC North is known as the Black-and-Blue division for it’s tendancy to be filled with teams simply run the ball and play tough defense. However, this off-season Brett Favre, Jay Cutler, and Number 1 draft pick Matt Stafford increased the QB position in this league by like a million points. So who’s got the best QB right now?
Word on the street is WR Brandon Rideau has been cut by the Bears. While that makes the picture a little more clear at the receiver position, that means at least one more guy is going to get cut. So who will get cut from this list: Devin Hester, Earl Bennett, Rashied Davis, Devin Aromashodu, Juaquin Iglesias, or Johnny Knox?
Dear String Reader,
We realize that we’ve been skimpy on content lately. For this, we apologize.
This special comment in mostly in response to Kevin’s post yesterday about Milton Bradley. I’ve been wrestling with the walking, talking paradox that is Mr. Bradley and I’ve come to two very different conclusions. Hear me out String Readers as I debate with myself.
Milton Bradley says that he feels a great deal of hatred towards him ever since he got to Chicago. “I’m talking about hatred, period. I’m talking about when I go to eat at a restaurant. I’ve got to listen to the waiters badmouthing me at another table, sitting in a restaurant. That’s what I’m talking about. Everything.” So should Cubs fans give him a break or should we taunt him like a little kid who just dropped their lolly.
Exactly one year ago today, Jay Mariotti quit his job at the Chicago Sun-Times and the people of Chicago rejoiced. Woman danced, children sang songs, and history books were rewritten to record this historic event. Now 365 days later, who has taken Jay’s place? Who is the king of comment trolling? Who is the idol of our ire? Which sportswriter in Chicago do you want to beat down with your keyboard?
Today in the Trib, David Haugh wrote a column about how Devin Hester doesn’t need to be the true #1 wide receiver the Bears are trying to make him. He states that Cutler doesn’t need a true # 1 wide out because he is able to spread the ball out to a number of different receivers during the course of a game. So is Haugh correct or should he be verbally bitch slapped?
Because the Cubs look just about done. They are making closer changes in August, they are constantly fighting injuries, and the Cardinals are 6 games up with a cupcake schedule about as backloaded as Kevin’s mom. Is it over for the Cubs?
