After doing a quick look around the world wide web, we thought we'd bring you some fresh articles to discuss.

First, Rashied Davis says that he hasn't dropped the thoughts of last year's loss to the Falcons out of his mind.

Jeff Dickerson tweeted yesterday afternoon that Charles Tillman and Zackary Bowman were the last to leave the practice field. Can they be ready for Roddy White?

Brad Biggs reports that Jon Gruden is the guy that Dan Snydor wants to replace Jim Zorn. Wait, but Zorn hasn't been fired yet. How do people know this stuff before it happens?

Biggs also Tweeted yesterday that Ricky Manning Jr. has signed with the Florida Tuskegees of the UFL.

Random note: the Bears have won in three straight years after the Bye week. Unfortunately, this year we don't have the luxury of playing the Niners (06), Raiders (07), or Lions (08).

Ricky Manning Jr! LOL.

I was actually wondering why the Bears didn’t bring him in instead of Rod Hood.

He’s not great by any stretch, but he’s a decent nickel. Unless of course, his game has eroded that much since he’s left. He’s only 29, but then again, Vasher is only 28, so I guess age isn’t always the most relevant factor.

I liked

Ricky Manning, but didnt he have some legal issues following him, about racially abusing someone in college? or a coffee shop? and the bears offered him a continuation sheet, but that news surface the day after i believe.

I remember right after they signed him there was an issue

of a fight or something that he and some college teammates were involved in. I believe that was all resolved though. This is all from memory though, so don’t quote me on it.
