Adam_Schefter Yes, Michael Vick was in Chicago, as TMZ reported. No it was not to sign with Bears. He was there for some type of charity work.

DavidHaugh Of course, as diehard Bears fans know, no No. 7 was ever better than Halas -- and that is why Bears retired the number

Thanks Allie.

Nice to get back to reality around here. We are towards the end of camp, 3 friggin days from our first regular season game, and people are consumed with Michael Vick and arguing about the Broncos.

Keep the updates coming!

First preseason game, hon.

We only wish we were 3 days from the regular season.

Yeah...

was more pissy about the other discussions going on than scanning my own comment.

not sure of the issue...

everybody seemed to get thru it ok…

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

Thanks for the insight.

some people like to talk about the bears

some people like to talk about football in general. there’s no harm in that… hopefully, that’s a little more insightful.

dude.

just apologize already and get over it. You can borrow mine from yesterday, if you’d like.

I never said there was harm in anything.

And I do realize people like to talk football on a football website.

My point was, as I stated already, that there seemed to be more interest in talking about Michael Vick and drama with the Denver Broncos, despite the fact that we are in training camp, and only a few days removed from our first pre-season game.

My original comment, which was to Allie btw, was saying thanks for posting something about the Bears.

I don't understand what you are sorry for

and I am aware of how commenting on a blog works. I guess I am unsure of your angle on this… telling me that people like to talk football and that we can reply to anyone’s post.

I don't understand what your problem is.

We had a few more drops than we would have liked last year.

by windycity72 on Aug 12, 2009 3:56 PM CDT reply actions  

I'm curious

as to whether Jay really did call his lawyer. That could be interesting to hear about…

Also, Briggs cracks me up. The end.

Bad news from Dickerson:

Kevin Payne driven off field. More later.

Uh oh.

by Allie on Aug 12, 2009 4:05 PM CDT reply actions  

Apparently nothing

Payne driven back to field. Seems fine. (Dickerson)

The video from last night's training Camp...

I hadn’t seen much extended video of full speed passing drills.. they look very, very good already. Olson looks like a wide receiver out there – man these guys are fast.. just time how long it takes from Cutler’s first motion to a completed pass 30-50 yards downfield. I’m trying to be cautiously pessimistic until the first game, but it’s tough not to drool a little bit and think about crushing teams 42-3. I just can’t help myself.

ala vaughn mcclure...
Marcus hamilton picks Caleb hanie. Too bad he couldn’t do it against matt ryan.

Thanks for your work btw.. it's great to have the updates.

wish I could be there.. Actually, I wish it was Game 1 vs Green bay. I hate this waiting around stuff..

by DisCUBbobulated on Aug 12, 2009 5:41 PM CDT reply actions  

:-)

glad to help.

its actually not a big deal, b/c i’d be reading the tweets anyway. i just copy/paste my favorites for y’all, but its nice to know people seem to like them too.

by Allie on Aug 12, 2009 5:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

Poor Fontel. :(

I was looking forward to him coming through with more one-handed catches.
