Stefan Vaaks and Andrej Stojakovic (not sure what’s on his feet). Vaaks has to be a legit 6 foot 7 in shoes then right?
English
@BrendanSugrue Yeah it’s missing some fire, iconic shoes. Wtf are those on his feet?!

I think it's cool that Caleb Williams is on the Madden cover...but am I crazy for saying I don't like this graphic?
I think they could have done better.

@ChiTownChadman @Chicago_NFL Goodell and the owners only care about one thing…make the nfl worth as much as possible. The Chicago bears not owning their own stadium decreases the value of the Bears, which hurts the value of the league. Other owners and Goodell need the Bears to own their own stadium
English
Cost decision to build a Bears stadium:
Hammond
- ZERO taxes for 40 years
- $1B funds from IN for stadium
- $700M from IN for infrastructure
Arlington
- $50M to $200M annual tax bill
- ZERO funds for stadium
- ZERO infrastructure costs covered

@ChicagoBears What cleats is he wearing? Are we doing this new balance all summer thing again? 👎🏻
English
@chaoticharbing @ChicagoBears Was just for last year in honor of Virginia
English
@ChicagoBears Wait, why'd they get rid of the football patch on the chest?
English
@Chicago_NFL Valid. Do you see a world where Warren
and McCaskey throw their hands up and say to hell with it and remain at SF for the foreseeable future?

@kyler416 @rorochub2 I think the 2nd at bat (bases loaded) shows this. Great approach and discipline to get to 2-0. Gets aggressive and chases a bad 2-0 pitch (fine), then gets too passive and takes a 2-1 fastball. Probably gets in his head and expects a breaker 2-2 and is behind on the fastball.
English
@rorochub2 That’s it, exactly!! That’s the promising part and why I’m anxious to see how quickly he adjusts. He’s just gotten a little too aggressive
English
It's right now with Jordan Walker that we'll start to learn what kind of season he's going to have and how sustainable his hot start will be.
He's 3-13 over his last three games, and he's K'ed in five of those at-bats while only walking once. I can't wait to see how he adjusts.
English
@RobbyNardini 3rd vs 6th offense while on the other end it’s 18th vs 93rd defense. Combine that with much better rebounding and I’m not too concerned that Iowa is playing offense a little bit better than Illinois the last 3-4 games. Tiny sample anyways.
English
@BalakayM95 @JERZNetwork It’ll be right back to how it was in a couple of months when every card has high power. There appears to be more hit variety every year when it first comes out. Be right back to home run or bust soon
English
@JERZNetwork Just glad there’s more base hits. Everything being a home run on 25 sucked.
English
I'm totally ok with all the bloops in MLB the Show 26.
The baserunning gap is super noticable too. a 50 speed dude ain't legging things out anymore.
Fielding gap also super huge. Some guys can't move side to side at all.
All of this adds to more hit parity. W...for now
English
@jayfly40 @itsAntWright @Champaign_Room Since when is the big ten tournament a big deal? Saying I’m fringe (whatever that means) while claiming we “most likely” drop to a 4 seed is great. No need to get all emotional. We may drop to a 3 if Iowa state wins tonight, no chance we drop to a 4. Like 0%
English
@powderkid28 @itsAntWright @Champaign_Room Oh just a big ten tournament game with a chance to get a #2 seed instead of a 3 or now most likely a 4 seed. You must be a #fringe judging by your clueless question.

Stojakovic whistled for a shooting foul here on John Blackwell

@itsAntWright @Champaign_Room Lmao you people are stupid, whining about a bad call. This game epitomizes the Brad Underwood era at Illinois. Always fail in the big moments.

@penfield307 @beastofcrypto1 @42Cyc In general C do not give up sacks. The league leader last year only gave up 2 or 3.
English
@beastofcrypto1 @42Cyc He’s only allowed 5 sacks in 4 seasons, 3 time Pro Bowler at only 25, 80+ run block grade in 3 of 4 seasons and Top 3 in pass block win rate for interior linemen last season. Guys like that are worth every dollar

@theredbird_way Thanks for the stats…not tryna be a jerk but slashing refers to a “slash line” which is avg/obp/slg
English
JJ WETHERHOLT OPPO TACO 🌮💣
In 18 ABs this Spring JJ is slashing:
.278 AVG
2 HR
6 RBI
1 SB
7 BB
4 SO
1.091 OPS
He may already be the best player on the Cardinals roster.
English
@iamcogs @StegNCheese I think the “karma” is we got Mack over the packers because our first round picks were earlier.
Regardless no way i wanted to give 2 firsts for Crosby between age and injury history
English
Hahaha karma for the mack trade
Dave@davebftv
Rich Eisen just said the Bears met the Raiders price of 2 firsts for Maxx Crosby. But the Ravens pick was earlier this year. Poles wasn't willing to outbid Baltimore. Crosby becomes a Raven. But looks like Chicago truly wanted to land Crosby. Pretty interesting.
English
@CollegeHoopsTIk @Hokie_Duke @asethi03 Ok second dumb take I’ve read from you. Underwood changes his scheme every single year to match his roster. Morez doesn’t fit what we currently do because he’s not currently on the team.
English
@Hokie_Duke @asethi03 Illinois experimented wising them both and then balked at it. Just like they experimented with using both Ivisic’s.
The scheme at Michigan is night and day different than at Illinois. Morez at the four does not work at Illinois with their scheme
English
Morez Johnson gave Illinois a fair shot.
Illinois prioritized a steady-if-unspectacular European over their home-state recruit. They valued the shooting skill set over low-post banger.
Michigan and Dusty May identified the value in a bruising frontcourt and won the B10 with it.
English
@CollegeHoopsTIk This take hurts my brain. He’s literally the same player he was at Illinois. Nothing in his game is different nor does it need to be. He is who he is and he’s good.
English
That’s not insinuating either side was wrong. They just had diff ideas of what would equate to winning basketball and both teams have won… a lot.
But Tomislav Ivisic didn’t take the step forward into stardom and Morez Johnson developed into a potential all-conference player
English
@RaphealDavis3 @itsAntWright You’re right, which is why you don’t go Boswell and Andrej together for extended mins. I wouldn’t start Andrej over Davis when Boswell is back. Use as main scoring option off the bench and let him run wild. He doesn’t need spacing to score.
English
@itsAntWright I feel you on adaptability. I just know that high ball screen looks different for Wagler if it’s Boswell & Andrej in the corners vs Jake & Ben.
I’m not saying they’ll struggle. I’m just curious to what they give up in exchange.
English
They’re still dangerous but think the ceiling is lower when opposing guards are running wild
Boyd: 25 pts 5 assists
Blackwell: 24 pts 4 assists
Fears: 26 pts 15 assists
Smith: 27 pts 12 assists
Rapheal Davis@RaphealDavis3
Really curious to how Boswell fits back into the line up. Obviously helps them defensively but you lose a lot of space on the floor offensively, especially in ball screen actions. Jake/Ben provide a lot of space. Andrej & Boswell out there together shrinks the floor for Wagler.
English
@Illini_Javamen @BBallSchoILL @IlliniAD Culture based on current leadership. Just go back a couple of years and it was night and day different.
English
@BBallSchoILL @IlliniAD I just really don’t what can be done. I think it’s a culture thing and we just don’t have it, at least not when compared to the loudest and most hostile fanbases.
English
The only time I noticed Krush in the tv broadcast was the “Boyd you suck” chants. Aged well.
Not going to get any sort of home whistle until you get some rowdiness in the student section.
@IlliniAD we NEED to get your staff on this. It’s costing us points now.
