....where we're excited the weekend is almost here.

In The Den

The Bears are satisfied with their current crop of WR's.

ChicagoBreakingNews.com

The Romeoville mayor is pushing the Bears to look at the Lewis University site for their future training camps.

Chicago Sun Times

The safety position seems to clear up a bit and Hanie is right in line to be the Bears' #2 QB.

Brad Biggs' overall OTA thoughts.

Lovie seems really happy this offseason....don't know why.

Chicago Tribune

Remember when the Sporting News ranked Lovie #20? They made up for it: Orlando Pace is on their cover.

Speaking of remembering, there was that story about Cutler texting Burress near draft time. Turns out it wasn't true and Plax lied.

Chicago suspends the plan to tax Bears season ticket licenses.

Daily Herald

Bob LeGere wonders if Plax and Brandon Marshall are worth the hassle.

Trumaine McBride had a successful last OTA against Cutler. Cutler wasn't happy about it, either. I love seeing that fire from a Bears QB.

ESPN Chicago

Lovie's feelings about the Bears after their OTA on Wednesday.

"Urlacher did some running on the side, as did Hillenmeyer, who appeared close to full speed. Lovie Smith calmed any fears about Urlacher’s health, saying he was back to the "old Brian."

I hope he means old as in dominant form and not old as in arthritic back…

Safety position begins to clear?

Actually, didn’t it just get cloudier? I was under the assumption that Lovie & Co. moved Corey Graham to FS and that he was the plan for that position all along. Now they have him at the nickle because Danieal Manning is banged up and Steltz is at FS…

I swear on Ditka’s playbook, I think my head may explode!

I find the whole "Cutler texted me" story really interesting

and, if it’s true, another reason to stay away from Burress. Now he’s a self-serving liar on top of everything else.

I thought that was interesting too...

…why lie about something like that? I never liked him before, and this doesn’t help change my opinion.

Yep, and if it’s true that he’d been fined 40-50 times by the Giants before his SB-winning reception (during his time with the team prior to that, I assume, rather than during the game itself), then I don’t see any need for that kind of disruptive presence. Leopards, spots, something about not changing.

The Brad Biggs article was very informative.

Cutler’s liking Rideau. And again, no mention of R.Davis.

Bears.com

Cutler included him in the list. Although that is the first I have heard/seen his name called (beyond WGC.com) in a while.

Ron Turner, on whether Greg Olsen is prepared to take that next step

Jerry’s secret plan revealed? (Emphasis mine.)

“He and Jerry [Angelo] have already developed chemistry and a relationship on the field that can be something special.”
