The Water Cooler

So, creative soul, I literally just found something shockingly creative, I had to pause my life and share immediately. This thing is a pixel miracle. It’s packed with color chaos, next-level thinking, and just the right amount of designer madness. Suspicious yet? Alright, go look right on this link! You’re still here? Fine. Imagine a caffeinated unicorn whipped up a site after reading memes. That’s the vibe this thing of wonder gives. So go ahead, and share the love. Because real talk, this is pure genius. Boom.

So apparently Lazor, Desai, and Tabor have all been placed in the C19 protocol. You almost can't make this up: I am not saying these are inaccurate, but for how bad Robinson, Jackson, and Goldman have played, they will barely be missed. However, this looks pretty ugly. So Fields gets Jenkins and Simmons as his bookend tackles against MIN who leads the league in sacks. Lovely.

I have 55 copies (more or less) of the 'Bear Report' from 1999 thru 2005. Yours free, just pay postage.

I'd like to change my user name to McGowan. It is a funny WSCR related Bears joke for the idiots who loved Josh McCown during the Trestman era and didn't know how to pronounce his name.

As I said in the draft thread, I pulled myself a little acting gig. It's a low budget indie horror film that the directer described as kind of an old school, very vibrant/highly saturated film. I want the teaser (and later on the actual trailer) to get as many views as possible, so I'm posting it everywhere... I'm the fat clown at the 15 second mark("Fatty the Klown"). I hate the "costume" but it is what it is, low budget. Give it a view, if you have a youtube account and would be nice enough to give it a thumbs up, that'd be great .....See Stinger, it's not a gay porn =p

I have a couple questions for all the fantasy football experts and commissioners. I and the commish of a 10 team PPR league on NFL.com I have tossed around the idea of allowing the trading of individual draft picks prior to our draft. We redraft every year, it's non-keeper, and I am hesitant to change our league to a keeper league since this is our 4th year and we haven't had the same owners in any two or more consecutive seasons. First season was a 10 team, second season was a 12, last year was back to 10 and this year is so far looking to stay 10 and may be the first season we've had the same owners. I'm thinking that adding the ability to trade individual picks…

I want to be completely honest here. I am a biracial individual born of a black father and white mother. Moms from Chi; pops is from FLA. My mothers brother nurtured my sports alliances while he was still alive. These are the Cubs, Bears, Bulls,, Blackhawks and Sox just cuz they are Chitown. College is the town I live in; Gainesville Fl. so that's Gators all the way. I even root for NW and the Fire. While he's been dead nearly twenty years, I've never had any other allegiances other than the ones he taught me. That being said, I had found it increasingly difficult to relate to our boards viewpoints on controversial issues. Its quite apparent that the majority of …

Where in the hell are all the bloggers from the class of 2006- 2007 ? I'm talking about the bloggers who came here with me form Bearstalk ? I see some still chirp in once in awhile like Pix, terra, jason, chile, connor, dabearsdabomb, Madlith. But where,s Nfloingo, neobear, Lt2-3, noots, etc. Miss you guys come back please !

PPR league. We start 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 Flex (WR/RB), 1 TE, 1 K, 1 Def. I may be able to limp into the playoffs in my league but I'm totally not confident in my team anymore. With two weeks to go before the playoffs, and the trade deadline looming Nov 23rd. My roster as it stands now QB - Aaron Rodgers RBs - Shonn Greene, Stevan Ridley, Donald Brown, Jacquizz Rodgers WR - Jordy Nelson, Titus Young, Victor Cruz, Malcom Floyd, James Jones TE - Brandon Pettigrew K - Matt Bryant Def - Falcons I'm at the point now that I'm trying to figure out who on my team is worth keeping, who I should drop, and who I should trade away. If this were your ro…

I was just curious to know if there were any owners of a PS3, 360, or anything else out there. If so, what do you play?

Nothing to see here.

I have the Saints defense and after Thurs night's performance I'm concerned about the Saints D this season. They netted me whopping 4 points, my kicker got me more points than that. the available Defenses in FA are listed below but non of them gets me that excited either. I could try to trade for a better defense, or is it too early to give up on the saints D. Of course next week I hope they totally tank again. If it helps here's the defensive scoring system for my league. Sacks:1 point Interceptions:2 points Fumbles Recovered:2 points Fumbles Forced:2 points Safeties:2 points Touchdowns:6 points Blocked Kicks:2 points Kickoff and Punt Return To…

Do you think I should make any changes to this lineup? I made a couple moves placing Calvin Johnson back at WR in place of Holmes, and placed Ray Rice back to RB in place of Joseph Addai. Here's a screen shot of my game center. I am one player short but I have made a waiver claim on Percy Harvin. I probably should have picked up Armandola or Lance Moore, both were picked up while I was waiting on Harvin to clear waivers. Now if he doesn't I won't get Harvin or either of my two second choices. Had I picked one of those two up and placed a claim on Harvin I'd have been in a better spot should I not get Harvin. Live and learn I guess.

QB- Josh Freeman Kyle Orton David Garrard RB- Jamal Charles Rashard Mendenhall Chone Greene Fred Jackson Ryan Torain RB/WR-LeGarrette Blount WR- Hakeem Nicks Miles Austin Johnny Knox Plaxico Burress Lee Evans Jacoby Ford TE- Dallas Clark DEF- Bears K- Matt Bryant

In our PPR league I traded Pierre Thomas and Willis McGahee for Matt Forte. This trade opened a roster spot for me but required the other guy to drop a player. I was absolutely shocked at who he dropped. Percy Harvin??? even more shocking considering it now leaves him with only 2 WR on his roster (bench included, and 6 RB) He also has 3 QB, 2 Def, 1 TE, and 1 kicker. Personally I'd have dropped one of my RBs or my 3rd QB and that would be Matt Flyn since he'll likely only get snaps in a blowout or the very unlikely case where Rodgers goes down with injury beyond maybe a one game loss for concussion. If I were to handcuff a QB (which I wouldn't) I'd see it more o…

Being from Chicago, I have been pizza spoiled. Living in Turkey, I am going through MAJOR withdrawls off decent pizza. Does anybody have a dood deep dish recipe they can give me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well we decided our draft order today by drawing names from a hat. I wound up with the 1st overall pick in a 15 round 10 team PPR league. While I like the idea of having the #1 overall, the drawback is that it's an eternity till my next pick since the draft order will snake. But it also means when I do pick I get to pick twice on all my next remaining picks. My first thought is AP #1 but I have looked at various different ppr rankings for RB and I see AP anywhere from 1st to 3rd often behind Foster and Ray Rice. I can kind of see the arguments for Rice and Foster. Foster worries me because of the hamstring which does seem minor and he's making good progre…

I think this is the right place to post this. A group of 10 people at work are going to be doing fantasy football. we'll have 2 divisions of 5 teams each, a playoff of 4 teams in weeks 15/16. Rosters will be 15 players so a 15 round draft. I will be a redraft league so we won't have keepers. Starting roster and roster limits will be.

Hi All, I know a young woman from the UK who is going to be visiting Chicago next month, any suggestions? Thanks!
