....where we actively campaign to have the hardest-to-spell roster in the NFL.

In The Den

ChicagoBears.com

Izzy is excited to sign with the Bears for two more years.

Chicago Sun Times

With the Pisa signing, the Bears are at 80 players - the Bears will have to drop someone prior to training camp.

KC Joyner performed a study that looked at Jay Cutler vs. Brett Favre in 2008. This is a good read; don't miss it.

Chicago Tribune

Mike Singletary is using an old Bears training technique for his 49ers.

Instead of giving you a generic story on the Izzy signing, Vaughn McClure gets some quotes from Drew Rosenhaus, Marinelli, and Izzy himself.

McClure also runs down the busy day the Bears had last Friday.

Taking a look around the NFL, the Tribune writers surmise which defensive players are poised for a breakout season.

Ten things David Haugh knows.

Daily Herald

Bob LeGere is very excited about the Pisa signing.

ESPN Chicago

Jerry Angelo has said that it all starts with the quarterback: Jeff Dickerson thinks much differently.

Favre also had Thomas Jones taking a lot of heat from him.

And let me ask this, will Cutler’s success be limited more than Orton, Grossman, Griese, Krenzl, Quinn, Matthews, Miller, Wuerffel, Stewart, etc. etc. etc? I think not.

I was simply referring to the fact that Favre was hurt the latter part of the season.

Making him an odd comparison choice considering how his season was going early on.

I came across this...

… article and found it very interesting. If you have ever thought the NFL injury reports seem inaccurate, this would be a good read for you.

Oh yeah

Brandon Marshalls gonna be a Bear. It’s inevitable.

You see the ESPN Outside The Lines piece on Marshall?

Say what you want about the girl and her motives but the facts seems pretty clear: the guy consistently beats up women. After watching that, I’m not too sure I want him on the Bears.

I don't want him on the Bears at all(Sorry if it came out like I did)

But it seems we’re headed to that direction. Hopefully not. This guy has been a troublemaker since he’s came in the league. And from what a friend of his told me, he’s got a lot of maturity issues.

I saw that piece.

Marshall is in complete denial. He really believes that their has been no wrong doing, on his part. Didn’t Bob Ley say, Marshall has had 12 or 13 domestic disturbance calls reported? Someone NEEDS to get this guy help, before the worst case scenario takes place.

The guy sounds like a total D-bag...

Yeah I remember

In 2006 it took until like week 7 for anyone to figure out how to say Danieal (was it Daniel or Danielle?)

Ayup, that was mine, after realising I had to look it up every time I wanted to refer to Tinoisamoa or Ta’ufo’ou.

It reminds me a little of towards the end of the Ditka HC era when we had some players with seriously long Polish surnames crammed across their shoulders :-D

Rounding out the top ten

only = 9? Lol. :)
