No time to read yet
But Alex Brown is married so I am sure he wants to keep the wife from getting jealous.

you guys
need to start listening to some espn 1000 or at least the podcasts, lots of information in there that could be making it here.
During an interview Pace said that he mentioned coming to Chicago to Holt, and Holt’s reply was “Tell Lovie to call me.”
A little more promising than previously thought perhaps.

Here is the link

I should have made it more clear than what I did; that’s my fault.

i wasn't commenting on anything you wrote
just saying that you guys would probably find value in the podcasts as I do. The beat guys usually have good stuff.

That is so wonderful
that Ogunleye and Idonije did that for that little girl! :D It really makes me happy to read about media stars who really are role models and do these wonderful things – not for the publicity – but because sometimes they’re some of the only ones who can.
Plus, they seem really excited for this football season, (although how could they not be?)
P.S. I never hated Grossman that much, but I must say, that article was pretty funny… lol.

Indeed, it’ll keep them grounded and not end up like T.O. or the like (though the very fact that they went on that trip in the first place suggests they weren’t T.O.s in the making).
Worth reposting this story about John Elway…..

That is amazing.
That’s so inspirational. I feel the same way about athletes, and could’ve gone off on Greg Oden when GG and I met him – and he acted like a complete jerk. Thanks for sharing the article, I LOVED it! :D

Amani Toomer makes sense
Toomer still has something in the tank and would be a reasonable addition. Then the Bears go ahead and draft the best available wide receiver with either the #49 or #99 pick.

I really would like to wake up in the morning and see
that the Bears have picked up Holt but still no news…rats.

THAT
would be a stellar morning
Is it August yet???

Thats a nice rump!
''Ho-Grant has contacts?'' - Brother-in-Law after LJ3 checked in. I walked away, not because he hasn't played for the Bulls in fifteen years but because he called him Ho-Grant.

WR rankings
Robiskie as the 7th best WR… maybe not such a reach that he will be on the board at #49. I like him but I don’t know that many GMs think he is a top 50 player in the draft ( i do).
draft Robiskie and sign Holt please
by No It All on Apr 10, 2009 12:42 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Agreed
It’s not like Maclin or DHB are still going to be on the board at #49, but if the receivers do start to drop…pick in this order:
Nicks
Britt
Robiskie
Massoquai
If all 4 have been taken, then focus on other needs DB/FS/DE/OL(depth) with the 49th and try to find a diamond in the rough in the later rounds.
I too like Ramsees Barden, but not until at least the 99th pick, and I’d feel better with the 4th round or even the 5th rounder from Denver.

I guarantee that Alex is
apologizing for blowing a big lead and missing the playoffs to the bears fans that showed up in Houston. I’d do the same.

Were not in bad shape at WR
JA will sign a FA. Look at what we have already. Two good TEs and hopefully Kellen Davis steps up in his 2nd year. He will be a major big target, and don’t forget Forte out of the backfield. Bennett will flourish with Cutler, so don’t worry be happy everyone! Can’t wait for camp.

I think if there was one Bear I could sit down in a bar with
It might just be Wale. He seems like a genuinely good-natured guy and things like this really drive that home. And he always seems very personable. I think he’d be cool to hangout with.

did you guys ban haight?
or did losing orton drive him over?
by mike b on Apr 10, 2009 3:52 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
We have been wondering where Haight has been...
He hasn’t been around since his “poem”, but he didn’t get enbanninated. Maybe he is “preparing”.
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. (Vince Lombardi)

yeah!
i haven’t heard from haight since before the Cutler trade. it’s so weird
