As I sit here in my office, supposedly doing my mountain of charts/dictations, the local sportstalker is lit up discussing Milton's allegations or racism.

Certainly Cub fans are no different than any other city when it comes to its share of douchebag numbnuts that would send hate mail of a racist nature.

Sad.

I would also submit that many black athletes walk on water here, so you have to wonder how much was Milton, and how much was Chicago. More importantly, how much was brought on by Milton and his reaction to the fans. Dunno.

The dude flatout sucked. And is narcissistic, probably bipolar, and has been with like 8 teams in 12 years or something like that.

Dunno, but again I don't doubt the racist crap. I also don't doubt hate mail. Sadly, you have to expect the latter when you are a public figure, paid millions and you fail so spectacularily. What nobody deserves is the racial epithets.

Can't defend that, and it isn't the first time I've heard about that from Cub fans.

Makes me mad. And sad.

They don't need to go there, his performance on the field was worthy of the scorn, not the color of his skin. Duh.

Bradley brought Soriano's name into his complaints about Chicago, repeating the story that a Chicago waiter was badmouthing him, and adding that the waiter was badmouthing Soriano as well. Soriano said Bradley never mentioned the story to him and he doesn't get upset when he's criticized by Cubs fans.

"It's part of the game," Soriano said, "When I hit a homer, everybody's happy. When I strike out, the people boo. So it's 50-50. It's not hard to play there. I love it."

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.

      Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
