guess we gotta' show GB a lil' love then...
Where stately oaks and broad magnolias shade inspiring halls,
There stands our dear old Alma Mater who to us recalls
Fond memories that waken in our hearts a tender glow
And make us happy for the love that we have learned to know.

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

Dickerson is right on the money about the Safety position and Dusty Dvoracek

Bears have a brewing crisis in that defensive backfield. With all due respect to Jay Cutler, the success of the 2009 Chicago football Bears is dependent upon the defensive unit regaining respectability after two wretched seasons in a row. The only true certainty in that defensive backfield is Charles Tillman. The rest of the combatants are all varying degree of big fat question marks.

Dusty Dvoracek will be an ex-Bear once training camp cuts take place. Good riddance. He has done zilch in three years to warrant still being here.

$136 million payroll for a .500 style ballclub. Good work Jim.

Interesting,

I WANT Favre to be a viqueen, not sure I want Harrison to be. A vet WR with a chip on his shoulder, I’m afraid would make our safeties even more pedestrian.

Don’t get me wrong. Even with Harrison, I think The Bears would still be in the drivers seat.

Just sayin’ if I had my Druthers.

Mulling it over

Hopefully, Jerry and company are weighing their options on bringing in one of the remaining FA veteran WRs. Unlike most fans here, I’m not that comfortable with the very young group. I just don’t want to see the difference between making the playoffs and not making them come down to our WRs.

Vikings are a formidable team with or without Brett Favre

Vikings have a very fine defense. Better than the Bears in my estimation. They also have a great offensive line and the game’s most dynamic running back. To underestimate the Vikings or to dismiss them would be a grave mistake. That certainly won’t be how Lovie Smith and company approach the NFC North.

I got a friend who might be selling his boat

It’s LSU colors. You can call it Geaux Fish. Interested? :)

On a side note it’s nice to see one of my hometown papers featured in the Bears Den. Wish I could’ve been at the Embassy to show my love for Payton in my shinny 34 and see the Danimal.

I'm teaching fools some basic rules.- MR.T

Here's another one for you

Bear’s Den….where mention of Favre, Marshall, and Burress will continue as long as there’s nothing else to talk about.

Another

Adam Schein wrote a rare positive perspective on the Bears offense, which is pretty newsworthy in itself.

Schein sounded like he knew what he was talking about until he called Dropapotamus a solid player.

That’s when he lost all credibility as far as I’m concerned. Plus he made no mention of Earl Bennett, who our coaches have been gushing over from the OTAs, as the likely favorite WR target for Cutler due to their past success together at Vanderbilt.

It’s more junk reading to yak about, one way or another, just thought I’d point it out.

lol

Then don’t read it. Fairly simple problem to fix.

That's my question that Kevin used on ESPN!
