Chicago Bears Go Pink

Greg Olsen has worn the pink bracelet ever since his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, but this Sunday he'll take it to the next level.  Players around the league will be wearing pink gear to raise money.

He hasn't been without one in eight years, not since his mother, Sue, was diagnosed with breast cancer. His first one broke, and he quickly replaced it.

So wearing pink to support breast cancer awareness is nothing new for Olsen. But wearing pink gear (cleats, gloves, helmet decals, etc.) for a game will be.

Olsen was happy -- tickled pink, you might say -- to step forward to be part of an initiative the NFL is calling "A Crucial Catch: Annual Screening Saves Lives." Starting Sunday and continuing through the month, the league is encouraging annual mammograms for women older than 40 by having players wear pink gear.

Jay Cutler, Lance Briggs and Juaquin Iglesias also will participate for the Bears.

I think

that’s awesome. I’d hope all the players would participate.

The photo on the linked article...

Olsen looks like he’s clutching the ball like it’s his binky, saying “my ball” when anyone gets near.

Ha!

The wifey and I trying this new fad called, uh, jogging. I believe it’s jogging… or yogging. It might be a soft j. I’m not sure, but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It’s supposed to be wild.

Actually, we’ve been running for a while now. It’s has become my daily cool down, I love it. I’m still not very fast, but I can at least run for more than a half mile now without collapsing. :)

And thanks. I wanted something different and I like it. But I’m not sold yet. It bothers me that it’s not easily recognizable. I dunno.

Also impressed when Burgundy can be referenced. Don’t get to down on the avatar, it is hard to see what it is, but for those that really want to know they’ll click on it and be impressed when they see it full size. I’m not sold on my new one yet since the beauty of the pick is somewhat hidden.

Good for you guys

A few years ago, after a messy break-up with the ex, I started running cause it gave me a chance to “get a way from it all,” and have a release. Needless to say, I still run on occasion, but after running the ’07 Chicago marathon I kind of get away from it (26.2 m) in 90 degree heat will that!

Nah. You'd be fine.

There’s a moment when your body thinks it can’t go anymore. Mine is around 30 min. into it right now. You push through it and you feel like you can run all day. At around an hour I start to get blisters though and the fun and peace of running starts to fade away.

Some radio show put on an event called,

Boxing for Boobs, here in Charleston. They had scantily clad ladies get in a ring and box it out while sceezy old men and horny teens dropped cash for the same cause. I’d think B4B might be more vulgar. Just sayin’.

BTW – welcome back!

Okay,

Just found out what B4B was really about. It was a group of girls who wanted breast implants. Got in the ring and boxed it out and the winner was given $3k for implants. But she had to show them at the next years event.

Not for cancer awareness at all. I am such a tool full of misinformation.

I would probably be more into College football,

If I went to a decent football College, if that makes sense, or had grown up in close proximity to one. The only reason I started pulling for Tech in the first place was Vick, same reason I watched UNC (Ronald Curry). Played with one and against one in H.S. so I wanted to see how far they’d go. I like Tech and Frank Beamer, but Beamer ball pisses me off sometimes, especially it’s ability to disappear in big games.

So if Olsen gets a jab or two from an opponent or teammate about his pink apparel, he won’t mind.

I would hope the Lions would have more to worry about that G-reg wearing pink.

Shouldn’t the NFL be raising awareness of prostate or colon cancer?

Does it make far more sense? Yes, the majority of fans are male, but there are a hell of a lot of female fans.

I’m surprised the NFL is doing anything about it at all. Rather than complain that they aren’t working to fight a disease you care about, be happy they’re doing something at all about a disease that’s continuing to kill more and more people every year, both male and female.

I'm going to finally chime in. This is a "for what its worth" so take it anyway you want.

Cancer awareness of any kind is important. Cancer effects us all in some way. When I hear about cancer awareness it reminds me of the young student I lost to brain cancer and how important it is to fund research. When I see people participate in a “pink” rally it makes me remember the Grandmother I lost to breast cancer. When I see commercials for lung cancer or prostate cancer (by the way I love how they remind us that prostate check ups are what makes us “manly”) I think of my father who currently has terminal kidney cancer. What should you take from this? IT IS ALL GOOD! Period. End of rant.

My issue...

Is that this cause is focused around the “awareness” of the disease. While I will still support it with both money and time, it seems like we (as a nation) are pretty aware of it. If it were a cause for the “cure” or “research” of the disease, I would view it completely different.

So that means you probably would get in a fist-a-cuff with Olsen and Briggs. Good luck with that. So this begs the question. Do you have a family member or know of a woman who’s affected by it? Probably not, cause you haven’t shown the slightest compassion.

i'm with tempchad

it has nothing to do with not having compassion. i wonder why there is the focus on just breast cancer and i think it’s obvious when you see campaigns like ‘save the ta tas’. you obviously have had some experience with someone you know having it so you think think it’s extra important. so what? my sister just had to have her hip and 3/4 of her femur replaced because of a rare type of cancer, where’s our compassion?

this list is a few years old but i’m sure the numbers don’t change that much- it shows the percentage of each kind of cancer death.

Lung Cancer 158,664 (28.3 percent)
Colon Cancer 53,549 (9.6 percent)
Breast Cancer 41,210 (7.4 percent)
Pancreatic Cancer 33,454 (6 percent)
Prostate Cancer 28,372 (5.1 percent)

sure as hell looks to me like colon cancer should be getting a lot more focus than breast but i guess it’s not as fun to talk about or something. i’m not even mentioning lung cancer because you can say they brought it on themselves (not always true byt the way).

IMO- there’s no reason to not like something that helps sick people get healthy, no matter the percent of the population. If you’re wondering, I don’t have a loved one who’s been affected.

I think Colon cancer

Lmao.

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 because it can be done on Madden NFL does not automatically make it a viable option in real life.

Except

that “girly” drink has more alcohol than your average domestic beer.

Bud- 5.0 (that’s not all the crap light beer consumed by most of the country- 4.2)
Mike’s- 5.2

Doesn't matter

bud is also for women and children

or people with no taste buds.

my crown on the rocks has 40%

Do you drink it straight-up?

I prefer it on the rocks with a splash of soda water.

i'm an alcohol common sewer

er, i mean connoisseur. i drink just about anything but yes, i usually do the crown straight up or on the rocks. same thing for the rum (no, not bacardi). i usually go with beer for the day games though, it’s a little difficult to make it to the sunday night game after drinking liquor all day.

I think you meant

You drink Crown neat… Straight up means you would drink it strained and chilled. Or maybe you do drink it up

by rdent4hof on Oct 1, 2009 8:52 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Thanks

I never really knew the difference between neat and straight-up.

Happy to help.

BTW, you said, “IMO- there’s no reason to not like something that helps sick people get healthy, no matter the percent of the population.

100% agreed!

Thanks

I’m still confused on why that person was vehemently against helping people with breast cancer.

To an extent, I do understand what he's saying

But as a big, big fan of breasts, I am overwhelmingly in favor of keeping them as perky cancer-free as possible.

Nice!

Almost aflame still you don’t feel the heat
Takes all you got just to stay on the beat
You say it’s a living, we all gotta eat
but you’re here alone there’s no one to compete
If mercy’s in business I wish it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true…
