....where we're glad Milton Bradley isn't a football player.

In The Den

ChicagoBears.com

The PR piece on Rod Hood from Larry Mayer. 

Marcus Freeman is prepping for his final preseason test versus the Browns.

Chicago Sun-Times

It was nice to see a glimpse of the old Hester on Sunday. 

Chicago Tribune

The WR's on the bubble are awaiting their fate. 

SI picks the Bears are the favorites in the NFC North.

Zack Bowman and Danieal Manning are expected to see their first action versus the Browns.

Daily Herald

The numbers suggest that the Bears can steal a title in a bad NFC North. 

Hood could help at corner. Nothing more to add to that.

Adewale Ogunleye can't explain the injury to Kyle Orton's finger on Sunday.

The Bears were happy to go through the Denver game in order to gain some noise experience for the Green Bay game.

ESPN Chicago

The Bears WR's have one more chance to impress.....who will stand out?

Star-divide

Outside the Den

Daunte Culpepper injured by his living room rug.

Andre Smith fractured his foot.  That hold out was worth it, huh?

Personally...

I like the two big guys, Rideau and Aromashodu. I’m so weary of Bears wideouts going to other teams and THEN becoming decent (Justin Gage, Bobby Wade)! I hope the Bears keep the BEST two out of Davis, Rideau and Aromashodu.
Also, from what I’ve seen in preseason, Cody Balough can not play Tackle. At all. Period!

Getcha Beernuts Ready!

Gage and Wade

still aren’t decent, and they both fumbled their way out of Chicago.

He's older than dirt and needs to be "washed up."

I don’t think there’s anything he can do that DA and/or Rideau can’t. It’s always a bad sign for anyone when you get cut by an awful team like the Chiefs. If anyone comes in it should be Matt Jones.

True nuf

but i think then some nay sayers will say that about other FA (see Hood,Browns)… not me though. i like it.
and I’m with you on the Matt Jones thing, that pass to DA would have been 6, if MJ was down there to heave it in

Hood

The exception with him is his production and young age of 27. It was said on ESPN (I know, not the most reliable source) on NFL live that Magini cut him, but he wasn’t their worst CB. His size and decent production should be a good fit for us.

Daunte's Rug

Is available in FA. I’ve heard it plays DT. Should we pick up the rug? Also the Tire Swing is still out there and is a helluva receiver.

Wrecked.

I heart it.

He may have been a good football player with all his anger issues.

I would like for him to be a football player

so someone could really give him a good shot to the head, it might straighten him out.

Perfect

cause we all know Bear safeties get injured more often than….well, him.

He think Cubs fans don't like him now.

During a recent Cubs game Milton Bradley popped out. He flicked his bat in frustration and almost clipped D-Lee. Had he injured Lee he may not have made it out of Wrigley.

Bears rank near bottom of ‘09 owner rankings. I know it’s Yahoo Sports and it’s a subjective list, but we’re languishing in the vicinity of the Raiders (Al Davis, really!), Bengals, Lions, Browns, Rams, Cardinals…..

Riding the Bears for not sucking up every promotional offer that comes their way..

But no mention of how little the Bears organization might see of the actual money due to the League’s revenue sharing. Wasnt there a story about this during or immediately after the last Super Bowl appearance about the Bears turning down several promotional offers due to the fact that it wouldn’t benefit them much? The Bears are a for-profit business, why bust your butt so Jacksonville (or worse, a division rival) can reap the rewards?
