Training Camp Twitter: 8/13

by Allie on Aug 13, 2009 2:03 PM CDT

As before, I'm following (football-wise anyway): Brad Biggs, Jeff Dickerson, Greg Olsen, Matt Forte, Vaughn McClure, David Haugh, Fontel Mines, Dez Clark, Tommie Harris, WindyCG, Peter King, Ross Tucker, Adam Schefter and ChicagoBears.com. All links *should* open in a new window!

Be advised: Anyone calling themselves Jay Cutler is a lying liar. (Helmet tip: Roger_Ledger!)

Today's practice doesn't start til 3, and Peter King is in the house so lots of interesting tweets hopefully on through this afternoon and evening.

ESPNChiBears Looking for the hottest spot in bourbonnais on wednesday-bakers square. couldn't get a table. Giving away free pie.

DavidHaugh There are more but here are five Bears who quietly have made strong early impressions the first two weeks of practice. http://tr.im/wjcN

SI_PeterKing On campus at Olivet Nazarene in central Ill., ready for Bear coverage. Chatting with Cutler, then looking forward to seeing him throw at 3.

Adam_Schefter Browns WR Donte Stallworth suspended today without pay for whole season. He had been suspended indefinitely 6/18. Now definite - done 4 09.

SI_RossTucker If U love Madden 10 or SI, make sure you tweet #SIMadden between Noon-8pm EST today. SI is giving away one Madden 10 ever hour.

FMines89 just left treatment, everything is going well gaining strength back in my knee, surgery coming soon....

SI_PeterKing Only seeing the Bears once today, at 3, and it's going to be a practice focused some on first preseason game. Won't see all I need to see.

SI_PeterKing But I'll Tweet after practice and after talking to the players and let you know what I think. I will say this: You Bear fans like to Tweet.

ESPNChiBears On way to dining hall. Last practice before flight to buffalo tomorrow.

ChicagoBearscom LM: Just saw ex-Bears star Ed Sprinkle in dining hall at camp. Sprinkle was one of greats of his era. He deserves HOF consideration.

ESPNChiBears Lovie smith says danieal manning unlikely to play vs. Bills. Olsen expected to play. No official word yet on harris.

BradBiggs Lovie says danieal manning could be out for a little while

ESPNChiBears Matt toeina a little time with starters at nose tackle. Harrison at three technique.

doesnt buffalo have an artificial playing field?

if so, theres no way theyre putting tommie harris on the field for a preseason game.

by BearockWay on Aug 13, 2009 6:54 PM CDT up reply actions

Yeah

I don’t see him playing either. I’d rather have him save those snaps for games that matter.

Iglesias and Knox aren't lighting the world on fire

Both appear to be strictly longer-term projects at this point. I’m guessing Iglesias sticks on the roster and does very little while the Bears try to put Knox on the practice squad.
