    Has Morehead St. ever played Monmouth? I'm seeing a clear connection here.

    Has Funky Rufus ever met Weird Henry? I'm thinking that would be an epic meeting.

    Is it me or this NFL offseason feel incredibly long already? Clearly it is if I'm bored enough to post this.

    Here here

    Sports suck right now minus hockey, USA vs Canada.

    Fishing season is right around the corner and I'm getting itchy.

    Bassmasters first tournament started in Florida today, something to watch for me.

    As far as football...once again there's an obscene amount of optimism in Chicago for the Bears. Worse than last offseason. I guess the arrow can only point up after a 5 win season. But don't be surprised when they inevitably fail their fanbase again.

    I saw the strength of schedule for next year. The Bears have the 1st or 2nd hardest schedule. 

    They really need Caleb to be the savior that he's prophesied to be.

    So I lost everything I wrote just trying to add the hyperlink to text. This site, man....

    But, basically, I wish I could muster up the enthusiasm for hockey. I just haven't got there. I'm a bandwagoner LA Kings fan, and only get excited when they're in the playoffs. 


    As for the Bears, I'm seeing they have the 3d most difficult schedule when checking out this site      (insert awkward end of sentence for fear that it won't wipe out everything I wrote).

    Having Ben Johnson is perfect for measuring Caleb Williams' success with. Johnson was able to turn a middling Goff into an above average QB. So if he can't turn Caleb around, I think you all have your answer there. What I want to see if what Ben Johnson is going to do with the O-line and the RB room. You have D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson. Will he try to replicate the 2-headed RB committee that he had in Detroit with Gibbs and your boy, Montgomery? If so, you may need to upgrade your RB2 there.

    I want to add, that I can't even really muster too much excitement with baseball. I'm a Dodgers fan, but the whole salary cap is outrageous. To the Dodgers defense, they have a good farm system. So they're able to turn some of these players they trade out into a Mookie Betts. I'm not hating on that. But just having a disregard to a cap limit and living in the luxury tax world really screws the little teams.

    I'll still root for the Dodgers, but I did wish all teams were on an even playing field with the talent they can obtain.

     Fishing season is right around the corner and I'm getting itchy. 

    pretty sure you are more north than me and the ice is 8 inches on the mohawk.  Hudson is frozen thru also.  Spring Ice fishing maybe sad

    Sending two teams to Brazil to play their FIRST game of the season does not sit right with me.

    Saw an eagle 60 ft up carrying a dead sumptin, with 2 more close in tow, maybe offspring reallyhappy

    Looking at a map, the Mohawk and Hudson look about the same if not further north than the Chicago area.

    Either way, everyone is butt fucked with ice right now. Trust me it will all melt faster than you may think.

    I have some power plant lakes to fish in Illinois, and the option to drive south. Kentucky Lake is about 6.5 hours from me.

    I am itching like a crack head.

    Looking at a map, the Mohawk and Hudson look about the same if not further north than the Chicago area.

    Either way, everyone is butt fucked with ice right now. Trust me it will all melt faster than you may think.

    If anything, this NFL off-season has been pretty eventful and we haven't reached the legal tampering date yet.  Looking forward to Monday, though.

    The Bears are stocking up with over aged and over priced offensive linemen. 

    I've heard this song before...

    It’s still has to be an upgrade.

    A center who knows how to snap the ball is big for Chicago!

    Keep at it.

    They obtained 2 guards. Still same ole below average center.

    Maybe they'll draft a couple linemen. I think they need to. If they don't it's the same pattern as years past.

    NFL has an amazing capacity to stay in the headlines 50 weeks a year; here it is March 10 and they’re still getting headlines……..

    — Buffalo Bills signed QB Josh Allen for six years/$330M, with $250M of that guaranteed; Allen is 83-40 as an NFL starter, 7-6 in playoff games.

    Bills are opening a new stadium for the 2026 season; this announcement will encourage lot of fans to pay up for luxury suites and tickets. 

    — Buffalo released LB Von Miller Sunday, which opened $8.4M in salary cap space; Bills hope to re-sign the 35-year old Miller later this spring.

    — Rams signed WR Davante Adams for two years, $46M; Adams caught 85 passes for 1,063 yards and 8 TD’s in 14 games for the Raiders/Jets last season.

    This cements that the Rams will be trading WR Cooper Kupp.

    — Seahawks got a 2nd-round pick from the Steelers for WR DK Metcalf, who caught 66 passes for 992 yards and 5 TD’s for Seattle last year. Metcalf will turn 28 in December, Kupp will be 32 in June, so Rams don’t figure to get a 2nd-round pick for him.

    — Cleveland Browns gave DE Myles Garrett a 4-year, $160M contract extension, with $123.5M of that money guaranteed, making Garrett the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

    — Minnesota Vikings signed RB Aaron Jones to a 2-year, $20M extension, with $13M of that money guaranteed. Jones had 1,138 rushing yards last year, another 408 yards receiving- he scored seven touchdowns in his first year with the Vikings.

    — Atlanta Falcons signed LT Jake Matthews to a 2-year, $45M contract extension; the son of Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews, Jake Matthews has been a Falcon for his entire 11-year career.

    Myles Garrett played the Browns like a fiddle, I think it might have in their better interest to see what might have been offered up in a trade.

    They just grabbed the best free agent Center on the market in Drew Dalman.

    My opinion is that you go after whoever will improve your O-line in the short-term, with eyes on the long term solution. Protect the QB at all costs. I'm not sure who your O-line coach is, and what kind of blocking scheme they will implement, but superior play at Center tends to trickle down to the performance of the guards on each side of him.

    You know your team's history more than I, but from an outside observer's point of view, this looks really good. Ben Johnson seems to want to instill a perfect balance between their run game and passing offense -- something he had in Detroit.

    LT: Braxton Jones
    LG: Joe Thuney
    C: Drew Dalman
    RG: Jonah Jackson
    RT: Darnell Wright

    Definitely a step in the right direction.

    @Biscuiteater1

    Maybe, but they've done it early enough in the offseason that they have a full offseason to get on the same page.

    My Spidey senses tell me that the Bears are going to draft Ashton Jeanty at RB. If so, that Bears offense is going to be a juggernaut on the ground and it might make their passing game even better.

     Center was the biggest issue for the Bears since Olin Kreutz retired. Glad that they finally addressed it
