Hey, thanks for doing this...

I think Allie had just been posting the “best” tweets of the day… not necessarily all tweets from everyone. Maybe figure out a way to shorten the updates a bit?

Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.

Just to echo my thanks

for giving me a day off. :-)

And GB is right, I’ve usually just done the “best lines” whoever phrased news the best usually got copy/pasted. Its easier that way for me and easier on people to read.

WHAT?!?!

You don’t want to know what color socks Jason Davis is wearing? You don’t care what David Haugh ate for breakfast?!?!

And I thought you were TRUE Bears fans!

OK, seriously, I was way too lazy to edit….now we appreciate Allie even more! Sorry for loooooooong posts!

I think you did great!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I saw that

Jamar and Fontel both had injuries today…

by Dane Noble on Aug 10, 2009 3:18 PM CDT reply actions

Seems a little scary,

Brad Biggs is pondering if there are back channel communications going on between Dungy and Smith to get Vick on to the Bears to back up Cutler.

http://nfpost.com/Biggs-Dungy-says-Vick-will-sign-soon.html

I hope this is just a diversion to trick Green Bay into signing him or something. Vick will just cause distraction.

by Fridge72 on Aug 10, 2009 3:24 PM CDT reply actions

I'd take him. He makes plays.

And he would only have to be on the field if something (that will go unmentioned) really, really bad happened

Wildcat formation.

Hell yeah. :)

what are you so giddy about

that formation will be the downfall of every team who’s hired personnel to execute it (i.e. Miami, Dallas, any team that picks up Vick)

Wildcat will fail this year, and will fail spectacularly.

It will just depend on who is installing the wildcat.

Good coaches will be successful with it.
Desperate coaches won’t be successful with it.

I’m not trying to one up you, JerBear. I just wanted to state my opinion.

by rdent4hof on Aug 11, 2009 10:29 AM CDT up reply actions

Nothing to apologize for bro.

I’ve stated a few times this offseason that I think the wildcat will fail because teams have spent the entire offseason coming up schemes to stop it. It’s not a new formation by any means, and it works when you catch people by surprise. I think everyone will be watching for it this year, which will make it much less effective than last year.
