Is Tommie Harris injured?

Here’s the link to the original story.

Screw Tommie Harris. He’s trying to play games with the media, and is acting like a jerk. He very well may be not giving a shiat anymore, and if so, keep his arse on the bench.

tommie may pull a benson. suck here, be all-pro somewhere else. maybe it’s the coaches, but it seems players have no motivation under the current administration. maybe it’s ownership too (i’d be willing to place money on the fact that most of our problems stem from ownership).

Lovie is too soft as a head coach we need a Cowher type or Singletary if we can somehow get him from the Niners because we need a coach that will get in players faces and chew them out after mistakes,and Lovie doesn’t do that

I couldnt have said it better myself….yesterday I was on this blog, have heartedly saying im done with the bears. Why?? Because it hurts to be so supportive for such a long time (25 yrs) and to be left with such a disgusting and embarrassing loss.. Im sure many of you who started to ridicule me felt the same way, but I was either ballys enough or stupid enough to say it on here. And by the way, CHI TILL EYE DIE, is the way I am inside, it doesnt just come from supporting an athletic organization from the city of chicago. I live on west now, but my soul and spirit are die hard chi-town natives

…the events of the past week have me questioning my support.

Of the coaching? Sure, for at least as long as the SB when we were trying to pass with an OL built for running.

Of the Bears? Nope. That’s the definition of a fan.

Would he consider coaching again

update on Tommie from Lovie’s press conference:

Tommie wasn’t injured… the Bears just “gave him the week off to rest.”

Lovie said that “we had better options” this week, but that Harris will be back this week.

Sounds like there is way more going on with Tommie and Lovie right now than meets the eye.

Im watching espn shows like nfl live, nfl primetime, yada yada yada, and they spend so much time on the viqueens, favray, brady, peyton, even the redskins get altleast 30 seconds of airtime to be dissected and anaylzed, EVERY SINGLE SHOW….But what about the bears???? They show them getting spanked, (or even with a win), and they move on…..NO ANALYSIS, NO FURTHER TALK…I almost feel like they cant stand chicago. Why is that? I mean are they so bad that they cant be further scrutinized? After the loss to the bengals, I was surely thinking they would discuss what went wrong, why the bears have fallen to 3-3, what lovie had to say…BUT IT WAS NONE OF THAT… just show the bad highlights and move right along to the next game and discuss it and break it down for 15 minutes….WTF!!! I am starting to think that the media seriously hates chicago. Atleast the national media, I dont know what the local buzz is, i try to watch WGN as much as possible but sometimes their sports reports are awful….

Who in the bears top brass can make the decision to fire jerry angelo???

u know, from the players on up to the coaching staff, the roster..

I think we should fire Tommy Harris, Bench Lovie Smith, Tar and Feather Jerry Angelo, Start Robbie Gould at Quarterback, and Send Matt Forte Down to AAA!!!! Man… If I were just coach/owner/gm I’d have this team back in the Superbowl in no time, but does anyone ever listen to me????

sigh…. More interesting to me than the loss is how this team responds to this loss. Hang in there everyone….

Go bears.

from the comments section "The wheels are coming off this team, and it is getting worse every week. We are not stopping anyone, and we have turned from a “bend, don’t break” to a “bend, and pretend you’re in prison” defense…" lol

The coaches decided not to beat the Bengals.

And if you read into what he said, things like Tommie could have played if I wanted him to, we had better options that gave us a better chance to win, and he did not practice all week. Those are things that tell me that Lovie is FINALLY fed up with Tommies crap, he did bench him last year but for different reasons, I believe it was something about not committing to his rehab or something. But this year I think its more about his production or lack there of.

For so long I really respected Tommie and his whole persona. He seemed really funny, tough player, always worked hard, etc. First there was his skipping physical therapy stuff last year or in the offseason (i can’t remember when) and now this. I think it is OK for the team to bench a guy if he isn’t producing or practicing and wanting to keep it in house. Fudging the injury report is one thing though and I am not excusing that. However, for the player to go out and whine to the media about it so then the staff HAS to admit it is stupid too. He’s acting childish. He was supposed to get a bunch of help from Marinelli and we have seen none of that when he’s on the field. Harris’ days with the Bears might be numbered. I just hope we don’t regret ditching him if that is what we do.

I’m tired of this shit with the Bears and their coaching staff. And Tommie Harris. We’re paying this guy a huge some of $ to be a top tier DT and all he’s been is disappointing with his conduct, injuries and play. Then Lovie and the coaches place him on the injury report as ‘doubtful’ then supposedly he’s not injured… We hear this.. Why didn’t Smith address the media about this? I honestly don;t see what there was to hide. And the way he addressed the media after the game yesterday really surprised with his lack of disappointment and passion. It almost seemed as if he didn;t care…

this story at the very least give some indication that there is something very wrong with this football organization. When one of your “special” players gets benched, while not having an injury there are some problems. When you get destroyed on the field, in all phases of the game to an average team, there are some problems. When your team is getting really old and you have no picks in the first 3 rounds of the next draft, you have some problems. Heck i think i was the one to send a post about how the Bears knew Williams had a back problem before they drafted him. The problem seems to be within the whole organization.

However, with Urlacher gone and down 21 points in the 1st quarter, benching Harris to prove a point was clearly a bad idea.

I get the message. Your turning into an idiot!

the last laugh, played well enough to get the contract/bucks, now doesnt have to play and still gets paid really well…probably the fine moral character side kickin’ in.

put this “outfit” on the field for all of Chicago and the rest of the football world to enjoy, they being Phillips,Angelo,Smith with the blessing of the really astute football ownership called the MCCASKEYS…how’s that song go?….’how do ya like me now?".
