....where receivers go to die (stop by anytime, Rashied).

In The Den

ChicagoBears.com

Another training camp darling emerges: Brandon Rideau. Larry Mayer waxes poetic on Rideau's "golden opportunity" to be a playmaker.

Chicago Sun Times

Ex-Bear Roland Harper avoided a prison sentence yesterday in a fraud scheme.

Brad Biggs discusses the Mike Brown to the Browns (aside: somewhat ironic) possibility.

Biggs also looks at the 2008 defensive backs on-the-field time.

The Bears brought in two more punters for workouts.

Chicago Tribune

Steve Rosenbloom uses some backasswards logic to show why Lovie Smith deserves his #20 ranking.

The Bears and Tommie Harris are keeping an eye on his elderly knees.

"Brett Favre should come back" by Rick Morrissey. So, you bashed Cutler because he couldn't win the last three games of 2008. Yet you think Brett Favre is good after his lengthy fall in the 2nd half of the season? Go crawl back in your hole.

ESPN

Kevin Seifert discusses the Cutler vs. Rodgers debate.

Lake Co

Rex Grossman is putting his Lake Forest house up for sale. Bout time.

NFP

As GB brought you last night, they believe the Bears need big-time production from Tommie Harris.

The Spread

An online sports betting website has the Bears' odds of winning the Super Bowl at 20/1.

USA Today

USA Today has a piece on how important franchise quarterbacks are, using Cutler as their main example.

hope the Bears aren't pinning too much on Harris

Hey, I’d love it if he returned to pre – 2008 form, but I would feel much better if they were developing contingency plans in case he doesn’t.

Did you see our draft?

I’d call that a contingency plan.

It has to feel nice to try and find a simple back-up to a talent like Maynard.

One less thing the Bears ever have to worry about finding a good starter for.

Some free, unsolicited advice for Rex Grossman.

In the future, at least until you retire, consider renting instead of owning your home.

How good does it feel to not care what Rex or Kyle are doing?

I like them both in their own ways, but the future feels steady and secure with Cutler. No QB battle talks or wanting a backup to come in and play makes for much better discussions this offseason.

Kick it to me... I'm open!

it does feel good...

to finally get that 2 ton neck-bearded good monkey/bad monkey off our backs!!!

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

Steve Rosenbloom

Just became my least favorite Chicago Sportswriter. He just played devil’s advocate in his Smith article just because and as you pointed out ChiFan, he used backwards logic.

What coach hasn’t made a mistake? Signing Archuleta was Smith’s but he was here one terrible season, if he was still on the roster then I’d let that argument stand. Same goes for starting Mark Anderson and who could say they wouldn’t have started a guy who had 12 sacks his rookie year! I can’t really argue with DMS but Lovie seems like he is going to keep him at Nickel. Finally, Lovie is well-known for being a good guy like Dungy and so it should not come as a surprise that he “coddled” Tank at first. If Rosenbloom wrote that article in 2007 I might be able to agree with it.
