PrintSorry about the delayed contest, but with the holiday and all, we were a bit scattered. That being said, GallopingGhost is the most recent winner of the Photo-Caption Contest! Everybody give it up for GG!
Honorable Mentions (other engreeninations):

Great work folks!
Past winners:
Moving on to this week's contest, we have a picture that appeared in wiltfongjr's recent "Top Bears" post. GallopingGhost indicated in an email to me that he liked it, so we'll roll with it. I especially like this photo, because it virtually eliminates the possibility of people commenting on Jay Cutler, Rashied Davis, or the Fullback Dive (then again, this is WCG, so I may be way wrong on that.).
Put on your thinking caps and get to it! Remember to keep your responses appropriate, and wreck your favorites (actually click the button).
Have fun!

Nope.
It is similar to the Troy Williamson special though, where the receiver wears those and attempts to catch the ball.
The BB special is this:

That’s hardly dickery. It’s more playful banter. Dickery generally involves all caps, poor spelling, being oblivious to reason and common sense, and mindless fanboyism. For example:
THE ViKINGS ARE GOING TO KIK THE TEDDYBEARS A$$ THIS YEAR! NO FREE AGENT SININGS OR
Okay, I can’t keep that up, it hurts to type it. Anyways, that’s the kind of dickery I’m talking about.

Very nicely put. I was just saying that because GeauxBears threatened to ban me for just putting up a picture of that horrid/nightmarish event. So I promised I wouldn’t put that pic up ever again and you come along and bring out the video. So i had to say something to you. It’s what I do.

New PSA from Marinelli
Remember kids, always use protection!
rashied davis can never be eliminated from a photo caption contest
Rod: “OK, here’s your first lesson on dropping back into pass coverage on a zone blitz. We’ll start you off easy, I’ll wear these arm muffs to simulate Rashied Davis coming across on a slant pattern”
Rod Marinelli wearing arm muffs will still drop fewer passes than Rashied Davis!

When they hired him, Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith didn’t mind that Rod Marinelli’s team went 0-16 last season. They did, however, mind when they found out that Marinelli was also a T-1000.

Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.”

Ya know what?
I especially like this photo, because it virtually eliminates the possibility of people commenting on Jay Cutler, Rashied Davis, or the Fullback Dive (then again, this is WCG, so I may be way wrong on that.).
Just for the hell of it:
Inspired by Hester’s conversion to receiver, Cutler decided to give other defensive players a shot at catching his bombs (cause, ya know, he runs the team now). Unfortunately, Rashied used Jay’s genius as a chance to re-establish his reputation. Rod Marinelli, who had been attempting to boost McKie’s confidence in the FB Dive by allowing him to slide out of wrap-up tackles made with leather pads, quickly made sure that Shied wouldn’t be catching any passes, tackling him before Cutler delivered the pass.
I dare someone to wreck this. /reverse psychology

Rod: “If only I had shown the Lions defense clips of the Terminator instead of wild animal fights, we would have won a game.”
Lovie Smith and Jerry Angelo look on as Marinelli is running around singing Inspector Gadget.
Lovie: HAHAHA! AW SHIT!! Looks like Rod’s back on one of his LSD trips again. Just What I brought him here for. His antics will boost team morale.
Jerry: WHAT?!?! I thought you brought him in to fix the D-Line?

RodoCop
“Set in a crime-ridden Detroit, Michigan in the near future, RodoCop centers on a police officer who is brutally murdered and subsequently re-created as a super-human cyborg known as “RodoCop”. RodoCop explores larger themes regarding the media, gentrification and human nature in addition to being a action film. It has spawned merchandise, two sequels, four television series, video games and two comic book adaptations, as well as the Chicago Bears’ new Defensive Line Coach."
