I have never heard that about Ditka and commercials. Serious? What is the source?

It sure was.....unfortunately......

 

[UChiLAbear]

Sorta like how the NBA used to value centers over wings/guards, which led to Sam Bowie being drafted over Michael Jordan. Could also explain why teams fall in love with guys like Zach Wilson and Trey Lance over Jamarr Chase, Penei Sewell, Micah Parsons and more.

The 3-point line was new then and its value was under appreciated......however, the real & practical reason was the Trailblazers in 1983 drafted a Shooting Guard in the 1st Rd named Clyde Dexler and didn't need that position filled...hence..drafted a Center. imo... The greatest draft choice ever was Portland taking Dexler, because if they hadn't, MJ would had been a Trailblazer in 1984. Absolutely, positively NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

And in 83, the Bulls passed on Drexler for a bum at C if I’m not mistaken

2023 Fantasy Football Player Profile: D.J. Moore has a clearer path to targets with Bears

D.J. Moore put up solid numbers despite below-average quarterback play in Carolina, so he has a chance for an even bigger output in Chicago.

5 over/unders for Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields in 2023

As we go into the start of the 2023 season, we will look at each player's expectations. While the stats are only a minor part of the evaluation for Justin Field

Don't remember who they drafted in '83.......I'll have to look it up.....however I will try NOT to think of it while I think about it...lol... and hope it pops up in my mind sometime today. If not...I'll google it tomorrow....lol. I think they drafted Orlando Woolridge in '81 and (San) Quentin Daily in '82....Both great Offensive players who couldn't guard me right now at my age!!! lol... If one doesn't remember, Jordan hated both of them because they didn't play 'D' and were quickly shipped out within the next year or two.




Wait......not sure but this just poped up in my pea brain..... it may have been Mark Landesberg the PF out of either Arizona or Arizona ST. He was drafted by Da Bulls somewhere in that time frame. I'll know when I look it up manana or if someone corroborates it.

Thank you......UNLV thug......Bulls weren't into character of a player in the early '80s.....this guy and (San) Quentin Daily before Jordan.....although Jordan's off court behavior can be questioned.

Which was short sighted on the Blazers part. Drexler and Jordan could have played together as Drexler could easily have played small forward as Scottie Pippen ended up doing. Both Jordan and Drexler said they could have co-existed when asked this question.

The Blazers were also desperate for a C regardless of the Drexler/Jordan issue. So much so that they offered the Rockets the 2nd pick and Drexler for Ralph Sampson. To me that is the worst trade decline in NBA history as if the Rockets had accepted the offer, they could have drafted the Dream at No 1, Jordan at No 2 and had Drexler. That would have been 3 top 50 players of all time on the same team at around the same age.

Ex-Georgia staffer sues school, Eagles' Carter

Victoria Bowles, who survived the fatal car wreck that killed a University of Georgia football player and recruiting staffer on Jan. 15, has filed a lawsuit against the UGA Athletic Association and Eagles rookie Jalen Carter.

www.espn.com

I wonder where in the lawsuit does the plaintiff accept responsibility for getting in the car with someone she knew sped a lot and was drinking heavily that night? Not to say GA or Carter don't also bear responsibility but this reads like she was forced to get in the car with a reckless drunk driver.

Great bit of info......I'm sure glad that never happened!

I don't have thoughts on that, but this made me laugh in a way that my 7-year-old son would appreciate:

Recruiting staff were regularly informed they could leave their personal vehicles overnight at the Butts-Mehre football facility and permissively use Association rental vehicles through a specified cut-off date and time, unrelated to their assigned recruiting activity duties."

Their football facility name sounds like "butt smear."

Good article...............Moore is the biggest pickup of the offseason. Along with lesser additions like Tonyan, Scott, Forman, Johnson, along with holdovers like Mooney, Kmet, Herbert, even Claypool should be enough weapons to put Fields over the top.

If you buy the whole 3rd year QB adding a #1 WR thing, DJ Moore is potentially one of the biggest potential steals in 2023 fantasy drafts.

Diggs went from 24th highest scoring WR his last year in Minnesota to 3 straight top 7 finishes in Buffalo (best year 10th).
AJ Brown went from 32nd in 2021 to 7th last year. (best year 12th)
DJ Moore has been top 25 every year since his rookie year, with his best year being 16th in scoring.

Throw in the fact that the Bears threw the ball a historically low number of times, Fields could throw the ball 450 times this year and still be in the bottom 7 in pass attempts this year. That's still though 130+ more passes. There's a real avenue to 150 targets for Moore, and if Fields proves to be the best QB Moore has played with, there's an avenue to 1400+ yards and 8+ TDs, which would certainly be a top 10 WR season for a guy who's ADP is around the 6th round as WR21.
