Peavy, Pussies and Grabow

White Sox acquire Jake "the Snake" Peavy. Okay, I made that nickname up, but Jake Peavy is now a member of the White Sox. They gave the Padres Clayton Richard, Aaron Poreda, Dexter Carter, and AdamRussell.

Cubs added two lhp's as the Pirates continue to decide that they don't want their good players anymore. John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny are now new Cubs. They sent Kevin Hart, Jose Ascanio, and Josh Harrison to Pittsburgh.

Bobby Wade says "It is what it is" in regards to the Urlacher-Cutler situation, then he called Percy Harvin a part of the female anatomy.

Buncha people got traded today in baseball - check it out here.

Another Blackhawks f*** up? Are the fans allowed to 'boo' John McDonough yet?

Tyler Hans-don't-taze-me-brough is injured, which is funny 'cause he's bad.

And last but not least --

HAPPY TRAINGING CAMP DAY!!!

Chicago Bears trade for Jay Cutler

2009 1st and 3rd round picks, 2010 1st round pick, and Kyle Orton for this guy:


Bears also sign seven time pro-bowler and future NFL hall of famer Orlando Pace.

I can break this down six ways from Sunday and I might when I have more time, but there's one point I'd like to make right now:

The Bears have added a franchise quarterback to their team.

Teams with franchise quarterbacks are NEVER bad. This doesn't mean they're great, this doesn't mean they're going to win the Super Bowl. What this means is that given good health, Jay Cutler has put the Bears at the big boys table in the NFL for the next 5-10 years. Outside of Super Bowl 42, today is literally the biggest day in Bears history since Super Bowl 20.
