OK, guys this is blog is becoming a bear to update in the off season. With the Bears not likely to be big players in the FA market, I won't have much of that to post until the draft.

Question: Would you rather I just keep this blog all Bears and deal with little updates until news starts out again or would you rather I start hitting up some of the other news in FA? Maybe, just NFC North News?

Ultimately...

It's your blog, do what you feel. But in the off-season, it prolly wouldn't hurt to have some news from around the division during the slower weeks. News clips such as Culpepper wanting out of Minnesota could keep the blog going. It would also be useful to know what's going on around the division since there aren't any other NFC North SN blogs yet.

Cool

I can work with that. I played around with the idea a few times posting some news, but never really stuck with it.

My take

Don't think you have to update when there's nothing to talk about, WCG. I probably won't think too much about the Bears for most of the spring and summer. I'd only update if there's a big signing or something. And don't think that just because there are no comments for a particular story, it's not being read. I visit this site every day and hardly ever comment. Just know there are some "lurkers" out there that appreciate what you do, but don't knock yourself out trying to create fresh content every day.

Enjoy your summer and get ready for a leaner, meaner Bears team in the fall!

I'll second that

Keep in mind that many of us have our attention focused on baseball (go Cubbies!) or elsewhere, but you will see spikes in traffic around the draft and training camp.

I generally

don't count the comments, but I do have a small obligation as far as posting goes. I also keep track of hits per day and while I know this can be low becuase of off season I am trying to keep up to date.

NFC North News

affects the Bears, and there will be a ton in the coming weeks: Culpepper getting cut? Farve retiring? Mike Martz working well with Harrington?

Also, while the Bears might not get active in FA, their rivals might. If Minny or GB sign some FAs that can make an impact, that's news for Bears fans. I know that for the Colts the FA market leading up to the draft will be active not just for them, but their rivals.

In short, there's LOTS to blog about.

I now there is plenty of news

but it would be very easy to have 3 vikes and 4 Pack posts up and none Bears. Just seems off.

Your doin a fine job here

Keeping up on the NFC North would be cool and also any BIG story in the NFL. We've all got opinions and ideas to toss around. Just please, please no Berry Bonds. GO BEARS. Heard today they are looking corner in the first, TE in the second round.

I think

that would be a good idea. I don't know what CB talent will be available where we are. I here Hill might have improved his spot during the combine, so he might be our of range, but there are at least 3 quality TEs that will be available in the 2nd.
