With two-a-days starting today, I decided to put this up a little earlier. I'll be away from the internet until later in the afternoon, so prepare for an onslaught of updates then!
Currently following: Brad Biggs, Jeff Dickerson, Greg Olsen, Matt Forte, Jay Cutler, Vaughn McClure, David Haugh, Fontel Mines, Dez Clark, and ChicagoBears.com. All links *should* open in a new window!
If you know of anyone else Chicago Bear related not on my list, leave a comment or if you're shy you can click my name and email me. :-)
*End of Day 1 updates*
DavidHaugh Bobby Wade expresses regret over Urlacher-Cutler comments...sure not first fumble involving the Bears. http://tr.im/v0Tr

gregolsen82 Callin it a day..great first day back at it tomorrow
DavidHaugh Cutler likes early chemistry with WR group; Angelo not interested in Matt Jones. Read Trib's Bears Bits. http://tr.im/v0u3
ChicagoBearscom LM: Saturday night's practice at Ward Field should be very interesting. It'll be the first time the Bears work out in pads this year.
ChicagoBearscom LM: Saw Vandy coach Bobby Johnson dining with ex-Vandy players Jay Cutler, Earl Bennett, Chris Williams, Hunter Hillenmeyer and D.J. Moore.
ChicagoBearscom LM: Jay Cutler was as good as advertised in first practice. Check out complete recap: Link: http://ow.ly/iL4f
*Day 2 updates*
vxmcclure23 Saturday's morning session abbreviated. Real practice starts at 7 p.m.
vxmcclure23 saturday morning bears practice complete. Tommie Harris and Danieal Manning limited.
DavidHaugh Key to offensive line resurgence is Orlando Pace, who according one set of trained eyes looks awfully good. http://tr.im/uDcF
ESPNChiBears Just spoke with mel kiper. He says forget about cutler, the defense is the key to 2009.
ChicagoBearscom CW: Cutler interview,Smith interview, Pace interview, and a Training Camp Report with highlights all on ChicagoBears.com. http://ow.ly/iMFD
ESPNChiBears Not trying to sound like jerry taft, but it's a little overcast down here this morning. Hope it clears up by tonight's practice.
ChicagoBearscom LM: Best play of Saturday AM practice: Cutler rifled pass to TE Desmond Clark through tiny window, splitting LBs Hillenmeyer and Williams.
vxmcclure23 Funny to see B. Urlacher dancing to "Blame It" by Jamie Foxx and T-Pain. Even funnier to see L. Briggs playing it on his boombox.
ChicagoBearscom LM: Just saw ex-Bears quarterback Jim Miller (a favorite of mine) at dining hall. He's at training camp to do his NFL Sirius Radio show.
ChicagoBearscom LM: Bears held mini-practice (closed to public) this morning in Bourbonnais. First practice in pads starts tonight at 7 p.m. at Ward Field.

DavidHaugh Sox Peavy impressive in presser. Deal similar to Cutler trade but does this make Ken Williams best GM in Chicago?

Here’s a story with some other Bears that Twitter…..glad to see you don’t read the Den :(
I'M A MAN! I'M 23!
Interesting
Here’s a twitter everyone might want to read.
TJack might be out for the year.
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." -Sir Winston Churchill
From Seifert:
At this moment, I can’t tell you whether Minnesota quarterback Tarvaris Jackson is seriously injured, dinged or just shaken up. We haven’t gotten any word from Minnesota and might not until after the team’s second practice of the day, which isn’t scheduled to start until 8 p.m. ET.
The DN is reporting
that is could be a Level 1 MCL sprain. But what do those guys know.
I'm teaching fools some basic rules.- MR.T
Keeping with a theme
Bernard Barrian: Sad day for Viking Football. T-Jack is out for the season. Damn!!
Bernard Berrian: Ok folks jokes over. T-Jack is fine. But, lesson learned here. DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING U SEE IN THE MEDIA!! Yes, twitter is media!!
-5 for Twitter!
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." -Sir Winston Churchill
Mike Florio had an interesting assessment on BB's tweet
Um, let’s see if we understand this. In an effort to persuade football fans not to trust what they see “in the media,” Berrian told a flat-out lie on his Twitter page?
Hahahahahahahaha!

Sucks for T Jack
But if I were a ViQueens fan, id be rooting for Rosenfels anyway lol
this might not
end too well for the bears.
if childress is faced with starting the season with rosencopter, he may be more willing to let favre miss some camp. i should preface that by saying i think favre just doesn’t want to come to camp right away, not that he can’t or doesn’t want to play.
Oh come on now...
It’s not like Favre ever used his status to get out of camp, or OTA’s, or practice, or doing anything he didn’t want to do. You’re making it sound like the guy just wants everything to be on his terms, and I think we all know he’s above pulling anything like that.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
i don't know... in a rare occurance,
i agree with mike b. i don’t believe for one second that favre won’t play this year… he’s just buying time to get his conditioning right.. p.s. you were being sarcastic in your slast sentence, right?
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Yeah.
The first one also. Or sfirst, if you prefer.

i do what i can...
why up so early??? i have an excuse…

My excuse is I work nights
That’s why my posts are usually so late.

ahh...
mine was vodka and redbull…
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Yeah, I like yours better
Not the redbull part though. Have to swap the RB for some Kahlua and some cream. Big pitcher full of rum runners sounds nice too.

the magic word... GRILL!!!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
There's a buffalo farm just north of Orlando.
I’m thinking about taking a cooler over there and stocking up. If you’ve never had it, buffalo/bison meat is incredible.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
did in mn...
they have farms all over the place there… it’s almost easier to get than beef!!! living on the east coast/ florida did teach me one thing… what real seafood was.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Yeah, for all the crap food we have down here
We sure as hell do have good seafood. I love some good grouper and Mahi. And the fresh shrimp and scallops are nice too. Best I’ve ever had was down in the keys. There’s a place in Augustine with outstanding gator and frog legs. Best I’ve had anywhere.

Just saw
the vikes training camp page that its grade I sprain and he is day to day now….but then again arent we all day to day…..

i wonder if
this is going to restart the abominable favre countdown again
or maybe a mike vick signing? that could be mildly interesting

forgot to add
that tom brady walked off the field last year too. t-jack seems to be way to injury prone anyway to count on as a starter regardless of the severity of said named knee boo-boo

By the way
Mel Kiper’s a damn clown.
Listening to him is like banging your head against the wall: Accomplishes nothing and you have a headache afterwards.
I'M A MAN! I'M 23!
Problem is though
I think on this.. he’s right.
The key to our season isn’t going to really be Cutler… its going to be the Defense getting stops. (no more 3rd and long nightmares!)
True to an extent
Orton really kept our playbook shut. Now, Cutler can hit any spot at any part of the field. WR’s that weren’t that great in 2008 (Devin Hester, Greg Olsen, etc.) will have much better years just because we have a better quarterback.
I agree that our defense is our biggest problem. But to say "Forget about Cutler" shows his maturity level. He’s hated Cutler from Day 1 and just continues to yap about his misguided beliefs.
I'M A MAN! I'M 23!
Comment overblown
I’m not a big fan of any Espn personality, but I believe he’s saying everyone knows what Cutler brings to the table. In essence, QB is no longer a question mark for the Bears. After last season, the onus is back on the defense to perform to its capabilities and not to be like swiss cheese in the passing game.

Why so literal?
“Forget about Cutler” doesn’t mean “God he sucks ignore that trade” just “hey, cutler’s not the biggest issue”.
YMMV
Don't know what YMMV means
But in any case, Kiper was one of the people immediately after the Cutler trade that said Cutler won’t be a great QB and he disliked the trade immensely.
Or have you all forgotten so soon?
I'M A MAN! I'M 23!
Must have missed his quote on that one
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." -Sir Winston Churchill
YMMV
your mileage may vary.
and i remember that quote… i just can’t really get all worked up about it.
It's hard to forget
when you don’t pay attention to him in the first place. I find him much easier to stomach if I completely ignore his existence.

Do I have you confused with someone else?
Nah. it was me
But I don’t have the most glamourous of jobs. At least it’s new.
I’ve never even ridden in a new car.

good on ya buddy. All you need is a full tank of unleaded.
I'm teaching fools some basic rules.- MR.T
Like I told you before, they’ve come a long way.
IMO, buying a KIA today, is like buying a toyota in 1988. Their JD Power rankings are solid. Their safety is state of the art. And their prices are @ the bottom.
Congratulations!
not to mention the "FOREVER" warranty you get!!!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Yeah, they're solid cars now.
They were awful when they first came out. I was working for a towing firm and we used to tow several a week. But they seem to have worked out most of the bugs, from everything I’ve heard.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
once hyundai bought them, it all changed...
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
They merged with Hyundai
in 2005. Completely solid ever since.
Btw, I’m watching “America’s Game (85 Bears)” recorded and had to mention Ditka’s quote, when being interviewed by Hallas for the head coaching job in Chicago.
Hallas: What’s your philosophy?
Ditka: Coach, who you shi**** my philosophy is the same as yours. Kick the other teams ass!
sounds like solid coaching to me...
i’m gonna have to breal down and get NFLN, apparently they’ve been highlighting bears games left and right!!! watching on my phone just isn’t the same…
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
It's nice to have.
I’ve had it since it’s inception and it makes for a good alternative to ESPN. Especially when you hate ESPN.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
It's great.
The" America’s Game" series I mentioned.
Absolutely, the best work NFL Films has ever done.
I used to like Total Access better with the earlier cast
when it was primarily Eisen, Lincoln Kennedy, and Woodson. Before Jamie Dukes and Deion got involved.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
I hear ya!
Deon, I can regrettably tolerate.
Dukes, may be the dumbest man breathing.
Sanders is ok when he drops the "prime time" act
and gets serious. IT kind of surprised me how intelligent he is when he’s not acting like an obnoxious douche. Dukes I can not stand at all. I wish they would bring Linc back and send him packing. I really don’t understand it because there are so many truly intelligent former linemen out there, and they get him? WTF? Mariucci isn’t bad either.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
Oh, I didn't know they were part of Hyundai now.
Those are damn good cars.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
i've owned two...
my ex-wife owns them now!!!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
lol that hurts
Do you still “own” the payments?
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
no, thank god
she went after both cars out of spite cuz i wouldn’t give up the condo… looks like she got the better deal…
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Condo, you live in the city?
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
it's actually in schaumburg
and that’s the problem… i’m in new haven, ct now…put it on the market approx 2 wks before the crash… and well, you know the rest…
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Ouch.
I feel ya. My place dropped big time. Florida got hit really hard because the market had gone so crazy down here. I bought a house in 03 for 79. I could have sold in 04-05 for probably 150 – 160.
Now I’d be lucky to get 80 or so. And since I refied at almost 100k, I’m kinda screwed.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
same story, different state...
actually been thinking about moving back to fl… west palm to be exact… what part of fl are you in?
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
I'm just north of Tampa/Clearwater.
New Port Richey, if you know where that’s at.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
negative...
on the brighter side, it is fl… i remember when i first moved down there, everybody was telling me that my blood would thin out… by the second winter, i was wearing the same coats i used to wear in chicago.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Yeah, same here.
But holy christ the summers are still brutal. It’s been 7 years and they still kick my ass. What kills me is that it doesn’t cool off at night. I can deal with the heat during the day, but when you go out for a smoke at 4 am and it’s still 85 and humid, it just kicks your ass after awhile.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
ehh... i remember that feeling!!!
i actually was supposed to quit smoking when i moved there, but cigarettes were half the price!!! nothing like walking out into a brick wall of heat!!!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
They just jacked the price finally.
They’ve gone up over 2 bucks a pack in a matter of a few months. Until recently, I could catch cartons of Dorals for $20 on sale, or 24 full price. Now they’re up over $40. Still better than most states up north, but still a hell of a jump in such a short time.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
$7-$7.50 a pack up here...
interestingly enough, i’ve never had 2 totally separate conversations with the same person before… at least i don’t think…
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
lol I was thinking the same thing.
Basically what a pain in the ass it is jumping back and forth between threads. So we can drop the top thread and just continue it all from here if you’d like.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
LMAO!!!
great… now i’ll just bounce back and forth from here to NFL.com… i keep watching the #6 upset of all times over and over again, just to see the meltdown…
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
and you're right about the seafood...
growing up in chicago, i sure did know what a steak was supposed to taste like, but the only seafood i knew was red lobster… found out quickly how big of a joke that was when i got down there…
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
I really didn't eat seafood until I came down here.
It’s nice though that you can get a good steak down here too. I don’t know what the east coast is like, but we’ve got a couple top-notch steak places over here with Charleys, Shulas, and Berns. And there’s always Ruth’s Chris. I assume there’s got to be some decent spots between W Palm and Miami, yes?
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
And as of a few years ago, a Giordanos as well.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
you're gonna love this one...
the best steak i have ever had in fl is a place called rachel’s in wpb… google it and you’ll understand… it really was one of the best steaks EVER!!! a little pricey, everything’s ala carte, but WELL WORTH IT!!! plus, the entertainment is top notch. i know you’re gonna think i’m kidding but i’m not! go check it out… i’ll wait.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Somehow I'm guessing I shouldn't do that right now.
Again, I’m at work. They put a penthouse club in Tampa awhile back which is supposed to be similar to what I’m assuming you’re talking about.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
yessir!!!
one in orlando, and a new one in casselberry… but i’m dead serious about the steak!!! five star dining, and they show all the fights. btw, noticed a bit of a problem. a) you’re a cubs fan… south siyeeed! and (b) you’re a gators fan… fell in love with “THE U” when edge was going there. still have his college jersey…
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Yeah, grew up in Hammond but I'm a Cubs fan.
It’s the somewhat typical bitter, self-loathing love/hate relationship that seems fairly commonplace amongst us. And I grew up watching ND, but you’ve gotta have a team down here, and I’ve always liked the Gators. Not a fan of Thug U, but I freaking hate FSU. And my dislike of Miami has been multiplied because of a tool named Dan Sileo who somehow has a job in sports talk down here.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
i just started following
some of the smaller schools down there like south florida, fau, cfu… “thug u”… that’s funny. btw, have you tried to log on using your phone? having major issues with that…
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
lol I don't have one.
I barely like talking to people when Im at home. I sure as hell don’t need them bothering me when I’m out. I don’t follow many of the small schools, but I do follow USF a bit, being in the area. They’re putting a decent program together for being a relatively new team. Hey, I gotta get out of here. My relief will be here shortly.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
peace out...
thanks for hangin out while i got sober…
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
I'll be on again tonight, I'm sure.
Take it easy man, and get some aspirin and a lot of water in you before bed…

BradBiggs Unbelievable line to get into stadium for practice tonight. Never seen anything like it before. Guessing gates open at 6.

ESPNChiBears Perfect night for full pads. Cool weather. Players are in heaven.
ESPNChiBears Danieal manning suited up. Looks ready to go.
ESPNChiBears Cheers from crowd for zach zaidman are out of control!
ESPNChiBears Standing room only in the stadium. Cheers for zach continue.
That's sad for Moss
and would be another “uh-oh” defensive moment for the Broncos.
I'M A MAN! I'M 23!
So, why is he retiring again...
Because he’s not transitioning well to the Broncos 3-4, really? Isn’t there some NFL defense that would need him in the 4-3?

vxmcclure23 cutlers perfect streak ends as one bounces off hester’s hands
ChicagoBearscom Cutler rifled completion to Hester streaking across middle. Bowman then came from behind and punched ball loose and out of bounds.
ESPNChiBears Hunter picks off a deflected pass.
DavidHaugh Would love to have radar gun on a Cutler slant pass….The fact that he kept arm sharp in July shows.
vxmcclure23 cutler 6 for 6 to start 7 on 7. basanez takes over and throws one short
BradBiggs Alex brown just flattened orlando pace on a bull rush in 1-on-1 pass rudh drills; tommie had 1 nice rush too

DavidHaugh Day 2 standout: Zack Bowman, who is making most of chance in Tillman absence. Oh, yeah, that No. 6 is pretty good too
I was hoping
we’d see some good things from Bowman. If not for the injury last year he might have had a chance to be a starter from the get go.

I may actually watch the local news tonight… I want to see some football even if it is meaningless practice.
