don't know what that kid was thinking anyways...

on a different note, this has to be the best line i’ve read in quite some time… hope it turns out to be true:

The legend of Johnny Knox will only grow after he faked Marcus Hamilton out of his cleats in the open field after catching a short pass.

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

They have new video up

on the Bears website and Knox looked very impressive.

He also had a stutter step on Marcus Hamilton

Straight faked him out of his shoes, you can kinda see it on the Saturday practice highlight video on the Bears home page. It was bad ass. We need to have a talk with Johnny about his number though……..13 ………. cmon man you can do better than that. Just reminds me of Luc Longley too much.

LUUUUUCCCCC

sorry they were playing the Bulls title run on NBA network and well….

Hope Knox can keep it up and get some reps with the first team I will be happy….Was hoping the Bears would draft him and was surprised he fell that far….

lol Luc was the man.

Saw him and Judd Buechler at Ohare one time. It was kinda funny seeing them both somehow jammed in a little BMW.

My favorite line from Saturday nights practice was........

That crowd noise was an issue during 7 on 7s. I doubt other teams have that problem at the line of scrimmage during camp. Gotta love Bears Fans!!
