Meet Your New WCG Crew!

As you know, I've been looking to bring in some help with Front Page posting as well as some other areas. An ad I recently placed on Bleed Cubbie Blue turned up a whole crop of people who were interested (thanks to the fine folks over at BCB for giving WCG some space). After a few weeks of correspondence, I am happy to introduce you to the team that will be bringing your Bears fix. While all will be posting in various areas, each has some specific areas I've asked them to help out on.
ChiFan13 - You know him, you love him (ok maybe loathe is a better word), but I am happy to make an annoucement that will please everybody. I have bumped him up to a full time editor. You no longer have to deal with my inability to master the English language! My posts still go up, but he can make the needed changes when I can't use loose and lose properly. ChiFan will also continue to focus on the draft, Bears history and getting into continuous arguments with many of you.
thebutlerway - You may remember him as purpleliner. I asked for a name change, since it reminded me of the Vikings and I could not stand for that. You will see his name a lot come beginning of the season, as he has a background in Fantasy Football and I'm looking to take advantage of that. He also has been talking with me about various avenues to grow the site and its Internet presence, so I am personally looking forward to that.
Mordecai - Mordecai has interest in the financial side of things. He is interested in stadium debt, contract negotiations, salary cap and the impact of first round draft choices. This is a side we have never had and I look forward to reading it. He will also be working on some Bears history pieces.
BearsFan1 - BearsFan will be doing a lot on our personnel. He is going to look at options the Bears can explore in free agency and trades in more depth than we have before. Look for topics like 'Free Agents we want to stay away from.'
Going forward, this new squad provides you with all the Bears news and opinions you care to read. The new authors are working under a trial period, so let me know what you think of them, good or bad. Any input can only help make WCG a better place for all Bears fans.
Please give them all a warm welcome.
Thanks,
WCG

Sorry I didn't get back to you about this
I was interested in doing something, but my schoolwork load was heavy due to exams last week. So I guess its with best interest if I don’t haha.
Erm, well if we are going to call Milton Bradley nicknames, mine is Fischer Price: yes, you heard it here first..

So Mordecai the Jew
is going to be giving financial advice?
too funny
larry has that system down to a science. Especially with the way the economy is….big wigs like larry coming in dressed in their mink coats and 24k gold cigarrete holders with pockets lined with coke make for a large draw during shift changes.

shoulda run the ad on South Side Sox
would’ve gotten smarter guys.

Oddly
I agree with you. I’ve become convinced that Cubs fans are complete idiots.

I would assume
you’re sarcastic, considering the Cubs hat you have as an avatar :)
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!

Actually
No, I’m not being sarcastic. For every intelligent Cubs fan, there are 100 times as many idiot Cubs fans. I don’t know what category I fall in.
My avatar was chosen when SBNation took over and I’ve been too lazy to change it.
by McRipper on Feb 3, 2009 1:35 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Well, I'm a Braves fan
but I’ve grown up around Sox fans, so I’m more of a Sox supporter than the Cubs.
As long as you realize where your team truly stands and don’t spew complete nonsense 24/7, you’re a realistic fan. Most people are realistic fans, regardless of what team they root for. But those idiots are the ones that stick with people.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!

"those idiots are the ones that stick with people."
I’ve seen them. They’re replying to blogs on the Yahoo Sports site ;-D

you can't say that for all teams?
Erm, well if we are going to call Milton Bradley nicknames, mine is Fischer Price: yes, you heard it here first..

how about we don't knock the guys
before they’ve done anything.
I asked to post over at the Sox site as well, but never got a reply.

Because Sox fans are still learning how to use the internet.
I'm not going to even bother trying to update this sig everyday anymore... that's what the standings column on ESPN is for.

One thing you should know about me
I hate Dave Wannstedt with the with the white-hot fury of a thousand burning suns. To me he is the anti-Christ. A man so inept at coaching at the NFL level that Rich Kotite laughs at him. Even though he hasn’t coached the Bears in 10 years, his tenure of incompetence and stupidity in both drafting players and coaching on the field still haunts me to this day. And I ain’t too fond of Michael McCaskey either.

That makes you different from the rest of us how?

If you hate Jerry Angelo
with the same passion, we’ll be best friends foreverest.

How did I know you would comment on that?
:)

I hate Angelo, but not that much
Angelo is a classic case of the Peter Principle in the NFL. He should never have risen above player personnel and he can’t draft an offensive player worth a damn.

Well I guess all I can say is
YAAAAAAAAAY!
If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let's face it.

I think so
I don’t know if anyone is annoyed yet. The people at work are starting to love it, or is it loathe… I don’t care either way.
YAAAAAAAAAY!

Hey everyone!
Sorry for being MIA during these past few days…but I am psyched to help this site out and help it grow in ways that will make it the premier Bears blogging experience.
To give you some background: I’m a 23 year old graduate of Butler University (hence the name ’thebutlerway’) still living in Indianapolis. I’m a die-hard Bears fan, and also root for all Chicago teams, excluding Ozzie and his bastards. My other non-sports hobbies include checking out live music and worshiping Patton Oswalt.
Feel free to send any suggestions my way about how to help expand this site…there are already some ideas on the table but I’d be interested in hearing what all of you think.

You had me at the Ozzie comment
Erm, well if we are going to call Milton Bradley nicknames, mine is Fischer Price: yes, you heard it here first..
by Chanman25 on Feb 3, 2009 4:37 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I am so disappointed
I though thebutlerway was a reference to Kevin Butler.
Oh well.

Considering I do have an autographed photo of Butthead, I consider this to be a good way to show my Bears and Bulldogs support. After all, he was the best kicker ever.

Yay for getting WCG an editor finally
Now EVERYBODY repeated after me.
The phrase is “couldn’t care less.”

Looks like YOU should hire an editor...
Things will get better as they improve...

I find it somewhat interesting...
…why you posted if you didn’t care.

Looks like your "yay" is rubbing off on people... :)

Somebody talking about
the catch phrase???? You know I’d have to show up and get involved.
If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let's face it.
