    Why would you give him another year of you don't think the talent is showing up on the field? This team is completely unprepared and/or unwilling to match the Bears physicality. Zimmer has accomplished nothing as a head coach, I don't understand the love for him. He belongs at D Coordinator, not head coach.
  2. Mr. Brooks
    And Cook has terrible awareness, not reaching out for the first down.
  3. Mr. Brooks
    Vikings getting bailed out big time by the refs.
  4. Mr. Brooks
    Not technically. Hit, power, run, throw, field are the five tools. But neither is athlete, which is in the article.
  5. Mr. Brooks
    Luckily for the Vikings, the Rams are blowing out the 49ers. I'm guessing we'll see backups in the second half. I don't think they have a chance if the Bears keep trying.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    Oh boy. I think Hill has a future in this league, but my oh my he got taken to school on that play.
  7. Mr. Brooks
    23 minutes into the game, and zero first downs for the Vikings. Pathetic.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    I don't understand groaning about that call. He clearly had time to stop himself, knew the ball was already thrown, and hit him anyway. I never understood why that was ever allowed, and I'm glad they are taking it out of the game.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    I agree with most of that in principle. But, Sano came up and posted a .916 OPS, finishing 3rd in ROY voting. Whatever his issues are, he was clearly ready to hit MLB pitching when he came up.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    That kind of contract incentive is not allowed under the CBA. Playing time and awards are, stats are not.
  11. Mr. Brooks
    They still have to give them time, even if the defense chooses not to. The ref did exactly what he's supposed to do.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    The offense has to give the defense time to substitute. It's been a rule for several years.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    We do. But I don't know what that was. No pressure, Cousins tucks and runs into the line. Almost looked like a QB draw.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    Mlb.com has him 4th, one spot behind Graterol, who they have ranked #70. I'll wager that he makes at least one top 100 list this spring, and is mentioned as just missing on at least one more.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    Yeah, that is a franchise crippling contract. Impossible to win a title with that anchor. Congrats on wasting 5 years minimum of KAT's prime.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    And let's not forget the most impactful thing we could do, but the Republicans never will, bring down the hammer on companies that employ illegal immigrants. They won't come here (or stay here), if they know it'll be impossible to work, end of story. Republicans love to demonize illegal immigrants, but not as much as they like the cheap labor.

    Assuming the Rays tried, at least precursorly, to trade Cron before waiving him, and the Twins seemingly didn't offer up Gordon, I think it's fairly clear that the Twins FO, thankfully, didn't agree. I'm down on Gordon too, but he's a borderline top 100 prospect. Cron was released for nothing, and passed over by several teams on waivers.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    You still have 13. Your list: 1. Cruz 2. Garver 3. Castro 4. Cron 5. Schoop 6. Polanco 7. Adrianza 8. Sano 9. Moustakas 10. Rosario 11. Buxton 12. Kepler 13. Cave
  19. Mr. Brooks
    If he's going to waive it without getting anything in return, he's going to waive it for a team that won more than 78 games last year, 4 fewer, by the way, than the Diamondbacks did.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    We are on Grienke's no trade list. How many years are you willing to tack on to his deal to get him to waive it?
  21. Mr. Brooks
    One thing I haven't heard discussed, that I'd be worried about, is possible retribution against Coisins. The Vikings knocked their QB out for a few games with a dirty hit by Harrison Smith. I'd be at least a little worried they might take some cheap shots in return, especially if the game becomes meaningless for them.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    I'm not sure where you are getting #1 from. The board seems overwhelmingly in favor of this move. Like, 80% minimum.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    They should still try, buy its not gonna happen. He going to go to a market with a more significant Japanese community, like San Francisco, LA, Seattle, or New York. He's not going to Minneapolis.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    Merry Christmas all.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    Nothing wrong with optimism. But, I think it's a little unfair to suggest that people who don't share your level of optimism must not be watching the games. There has been plenty of visual evidence suggesting less optimistic results from all of those players.
