The new ESPN - Cubbie1983 - 01-05-2009

Funny stuff here. They have a spot at the bottom where fans make 2009 predictions.

Hey cubbie1983...I know you're new around here so I'll respond before somebody else tears into you.

These kind of quick statements are best added to the most relevant existing topic as opposed to starting a new one. If we have everybody starting a new thread anytime they read something funny or have some quick observation to make (that doesn't warrant a discussion) we'll be weeding through too many threads.

No big deal, just an FYI.

thanks phan. My bad

This should definitely have been in the goal line blitz thread.


The new ESPN - MW4 - 01-06-2009

I think that is a personal preference thing.
I prefer short to the point threads vs. the 59 page mongo threads that go off in so many directions.

Just saying.

In the car business there's a saying for it..."There's an ass for every seat."

Welcome 1983!

Is there another ESPN thread? this looks new to me. Welcome Cubbies.

I guess my point was there really wasn't much being said in the topic other than a quick observation that likely wouldn't have warranted any conversation. it certainly wasn't bad or a duplicate thread, i was just giving a heads up.

So what you're saying is that you hate Cubbie1983 and all that he stands for?


The new ESPN - phan - 01-06-2009

pretty much


The new ESPN - kbwsb - 01-06-2009

I see us in the Series with the Yankees. It's not at all that far-fetched.
And since we'll be winning the All-Star game on a late Soto homer, we'll have home-field, and win game 7 at Wrigley.


The new ESPN - leonardsipes - 01-06-2009

ESPN looks the same to me.

I think they mean the website, not the channel.

I couldn't even tell you the last time I went to the ESPN website.
