In The Den
Chicago Tribune
David Haugh discusses everything Brett Favre and whether or not he'd be good for the Vikings.
C.J.Bacher is wanting to get a contract from the Bears.
Chicago Sun-Times
Here is the updated list of players invited to rookie camp this weekend.
And here is the full list, courtesy of Brad Biggs.
Brad Biggs also has some answers on the Mike Mitchell saga.
Todd McShay has Denver selecting Colt McCoy next year at #13. And yes, that's where the Bears would be picking at. Since McShay can't hold Kiper's jock, I feel relatively comfortable saying that he's completely lost it.
Daily Herald
Former Bear tackle Steve McMichael was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Bob LeGere weighs in on the Cutler-being-diabetic-and-drinking story that died three weeks ago.

Might Still Get my wish of a Ball State
Player getting on the Bears! Chris Miller’s trying out. First he has to unseat the reigning Ball State punter on our roster, Mr. Brad Maynard himself. Also he apparently has to compete with college rival Miami (OH) punter Jake Richardson. At least Miller is a local boy (Libertyville) which was right up the road from where I am from in Grayslake!

Well he did
get asked that on the score…..from what I understand they did have FS that they liked up there but the way the board fell and the staff feeling that the FS class was extreamly weak this year in the draft they could not grab a player at FS that they felt fit into their system….Or that was the reasoning…
That's because
ESPN doesn’t know we need a safety. We’re not far enough east for them to care.

I'd hardly call that a website..
Its more a webpage with links to everything they already had on their various other pages. Took what, all of two days to put together? Nothing like getting the consolation prize to L.A.‘s new studio. ESPN hates Chicago sports. Thank God the Leagues are getting their own Networks up and running, i.e., NFLN and MLBN. They’re chipping away at ESPN’s virtual monopoly (by not being tied to expanded sports packages via cable or satellite providers) on national sports coverage. Sorry for the rant I just really hate how badly ESPN covers my hometown’s sports teams, almost makes me want to spend the extra money on the sports package just to avoid those morons. Question – Who covered the draft better – NFLN or ESPN? I only watched NFLN and was pleased with their coverage ( especially the big head thing).

GREAT QUESTION!!
I will never watch the draft on ESPN again, unless they change some things. After the first round, they spent a considerable amount of time continuing to talk about the 1st round, with way less analysis on the 2nd. On Day two, much of the same. NFLN spent more time talking about the picks at hand(more to my liking). Or maybe I was favoring NFLN’s style more, because The Bears only had day 2 picks. Either way, their were times when ESPN didn’t seem to know what the hell they were doing. Rumblin’ Bumblin’ Stumblin’ over who was picking where and who traded what, where as NFLN seemed to be spot on and smooth.
So McShay has the Bears having a worse record next year? Moron...
Since our selection with a 9-7 record was 18th he must see us finishing 7-9. Like the Bears have done nothing to improve the team. What an a$$hat.
Didn't Denver trade our pick next year to Seattle
to draft Alphonso Smith this year? So Seattle gets our 1st rd pick. Where do they draft in the mock? That’s how he sees the Bears finishing.
the article says they broncos use the bears pick
to get mccoy. i don’t get where the confusion is.
Cutler and Co.
No matter what the Bears did in the offseason, some analysts like McShay have preconceived notions about teams. It’s obvious he doesn’t know a lick about the Bears situation, schedule, or the fact they have a top-5 QB.
"I'm not so mean. I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something." - Dick Butkus
Be Careful Chifan13!!!
WCG is going to want statistics to prove that McShay can’t hold Kiper’s jock. Like he did when I said Kiper normally “schools” McShay and Mayock in the mock drafts. I do concede that Mayock did better this year, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.
Maybe the Denver 2 #13 pick is where Denver will end up this season with their own 1st round pick with Orten/Simms at the helm. And the pick the acquire from the Bears will be in the mid to upper 20’s
Unreasonable people make life difficult...
He can't
Look at our previous story titled WCG Rocks the Mocks. I believe McShay only got 6 right while Kiper got 8.5.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
I agree
But I got lambasted when I suggested that Kiper was better than McShay and Mayock…

I pretty sure Mayock
has been on top the last few years, not just this one.

totally off subject
I know this is the bears football discussion site, but I am curious as to why Rhondo is not being investigated for suspension after throwing K.H. into the announcers table? I mean Howard got suspended after throwing an elbow. I think his antics the past 2 games is unacceptable and if they wont suspend him he needs to be taken out by an unneeded bench player.
If you live in Chicago you are a bears fan, if you move from chicago you stay a bears fan, if you move to chicago you will be a bears fan.

UK alumni baby!!
Go BIG BLUE!
lord I’m cheesy.
definitely
I would love nothing more (outside of a blowout Bulls win tonight of course) to see Vinny put in LJ in for 4-5 minutes just to pop that ET looking douchebag right in his mouth with a flailing elbow or a forearm shiver or something like that. It’s a pretty sad indictment of the NBA that this guy is allowed to play tonight after the shenanigans he’s been pulling all series. Double standards is an understatement.

recipient of many Bears heart attacks right here!
….where we’re happy Bears games don’t give us multiple heart attacks (see: Bulls vs. Celtics, Game Six)
I must say that you might be wrong about this. Last night while I was watching that game I suggested that the Bulls are becoming the Bears of basketball in relation to how often the Bears give me a heart attack during their games. The Bears are the original bringers of heart failure.

True true.
Regardless, the Bulls – Celtics series has been awesome. We should have won it by now, but it’s still been a great series.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
There's 2 cocky Celtic's fans at the college I go to
One is also a Packers fan and the other a Vikings fan…god help them for they are so confused…and nothing was better than the Bulls winning and having them sulk in their rooms for the rest of the night!!!

Hopefully the final game
doesn’t cause me to drop dead a very likely stroke

Speaking of heart attacks
After K.O. Threw the touchdown to Rashied Davis i stormed out of my room and started yelling “Chi-town Baby” then after the squib kick, the throw, and the kick…(You know which game i mean) I looked at my 249 squad automatic weapon and actually contemplated lock and loading and shooting everyone in the immediate area…
So yeah lets not hope for a moment like that this season lol.

You can be fast like Gault

whoa!
You gotta watch that film. It’s Mel Brook’s all time classic spoof. then come back and tell me if you liked it or not. If you don’t like it, I will jump into a volcano.
One person not liking Spaceballs is too much for me to bear.
