....hoping that I don't repeat too many already used articles i my first time back with the Den.
In The Den
ChicagoBears.com
I think Marcus Freeman is already beefing up his resume for an unnamed journalism job after his playing days are over. In addition to his weekly diary which is on temporary hiatus, he is now writing about his experince at the Rookie Symposium.
NFL.com
During an on-line chat Gil Brant, believes the Bears will win the NFC North regardless of whether The Undecided One chooses to play for the Vikes or not. Brant also says the Bears will go to the "playoofs", making him the latest addition to the WCG House of Typos.
New NFL.com writer, Jason La Confora, has an article listing how much each team spent in actual dollars versus salary cap money on player costs. The Bears are 21st at 495.57.
La Confora also has a post listing what he calls"bang for the buck" rankings. This how much each team pays per win. The Patriots are on top at a only 8.41 million a win. The Bears are 9 at 11.01 million. It is interesting to see the the top ten teams have the most wins and spend the least while teams like the Raiders, Lions and Browns have the least amount of wins, yet are paying more.
ProFootballWeekly.com
Article talking about Rod Marinelli being a stickler for even the smallest detail and how it is paying immediate dividends.
BearsHistory.com
Over at this site they are creating a Bears Ring of Honor. It will be interesting to see when they start inducting non-Hall of Fame players. Neal Anderson best get a nod or I won't keep reading.

i knew we should've started our own...
so maybe, just maybe, we should have our own “ring of fire”???
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

another interesting encounter at my job this morning around 3:00 am
a guy came in to prepay for some gas. he gave me his Visa, which had the Cowboys star on it. “Aww Jeez! You’re a Cowboys fan?” I said. He said he is and asked i I’m a giants fan. I said “HELL NO! I’’m a Bears fan, buddy!” Then the prick says “hey, I gotta give it to ya. Your team sucks and you all still like them.”
So I say, “that’s funny coming from a guy who likes a team that hasn’t won shit in 13 years.”
Then the genius counters with “what have the Bears done in 13 years, Besides J**kin off Urlacher?”
“Hello! we went to a superbowl. But I guess you missed that because you were still crying in your moms basement because Romo couldn’t hold a ball”
He tells me to go F*** myself then walks away. I’m gonna punch him right in the face if I ever see him again.
I’m going to sleep now. goodnight.

Hey, who doesn’t respect a man who’ll dish it out but can’t take it when it’s given back? :-D

Surprised
he didn’t say something about Rex being our QB. Cowgirl fans are really well informed!

Love to see it
"He’s got a booming voice, and he won’t hesitate to rip into guys in front of everybody if they screw up."
It’s nice to see someone take defense seriously after the debacle the past two seasons. Between Hoak and Marinelli, hopefully the pass-rush as well as the coverage are at least marginally better.
