Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

I am thankful for BCB

and all the posters and lurkers :D

Have a great one

Remember the regular season and don’t dwell on October (i.e. we all have things to be thankful for and all have things that we wish were different — try to focus on the former).

Godspeed to all of you guys

I stood my watches years ago in defense of the country .. now you stand yours directly in harms way.

By God’s grace, you’re why we enjoy what we do here .. the Cubbies are just a fringe benefit ..

A truly grateful nation .. and the Cubs Nation .. thanks you from the bottom of our hearts.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. My nephew will likely be out there before too much longer as he deploys sometime next year. Bravo Zulu and take care of each other ..

Well, Next Year is here .. and Jack's century's gotta end some time .. GO CUBBIES!

Happy Thanksgiving all!

First guests to start arriving in 1 hour. Pray for my sanity.

Thank you for everything Al.

Two wishes for the holiday season

May the only turkey Hendry serves up this holiday season be that on his holiday table.

and

Happy Holidays, goodwill to all Santa please remember our Cubs come next fall!

It's a boy. My new nephew William Oliver born 11/14/2008 256 am. Thank you to all who offered best wishes when I mentioned it a few times over this summer and fall.

If they did, the Lions might have been relegated ten years ago.

Be grateful the MLB does not have relegation

For their nearly 4 decades of play after WW2 the Cubs might be in the Chicago area HS league.

they dont have a win left on their schedule...

they are the worst team ever… they cant do one thing correctly…

With the first pick in the 2009 NFL draft the Detroit Lions select from Texas Tech University Michael Crabtree… LOL

William Clay Ford = Dollar Bill Wirtz

Methinks it’s going to have to come to Ford kicking the bucket before that team’s fortunes finally turn around for the better.

I agree

Ive watched a few of their games and tried to figure it out. I dont even know if bill parcells house cleaning could help that team out. wow is all i can say.

Desperate times

They are so desperate talk in Detroit is they are going to go after a new veteran quarterback in the offseason and his name rhymes with Mex Postman.

Well...

… Rex can’t possibly be any worse than anyone who they already have.

Or could he?

1976 Buccaneers

The living players from that team ought to get together and pop the champagne, when the Lions lose their 16th game this season. Then, those 1976 Bucs will know they were no longer the worst team in NFL history. Heck, they “only” went 0-14.

The cartoon take's on on a different

Welp the the 1976-77 Tampa Bay Buccanneers can put their champaign away for now

the Lions still have a chance at beating their streak!
