That Mario Kart clip brings back some good memories and a lot of “I freaking wish.”

Let's be honest here...
Brett Favre : Chester Taylor :: Woody Pride : Rex the Dinosaur

I wish Mike Martz would read the Biggs article.
Call plays that fit the strengths of your QB and not ones designed to get him maimed.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.

He does have a passing resemblance
to Maxwell Nerdstrom, former boyfriend of Violet Bickerstaff.

I can't open the Ditka/Ryan article but...
did anyone hear their interview on the Score last week?
Julius Peppers received the ultimate compliment. When asked about their feelings concerning the current Bears team and Peppers in particular, Buddy’s response was “that guy could have played for us” meaning the ‘85 Bears team. You can’t, in my opinion, get a better endorsement than that.

Thanks...
it’s a great article. Funny that Buddy mentioned being disappointed that Wilbur Marshall wasn’t in attendance. I remember that after they drafted him in the first round, Buddy didn’t like rookies and was against playing him. Ditka, in one of the few times he meddled in the Defense (the other was insisting on Fridge playing D-line against Buddy’s wishes), forced the issue and Wilbur became one of the best OLB’s in the league.
Ahhh, the good old days when we actually drafted and developed players who could play at a high level……..
Speaking of Drafts check out 1983
Chicago Bears 1983 draft by round selected (From Wikipedia)
1a: Jim Covert*
1b: Willie Gault*
2: Mike Richardson*
3: Dave Duerson*
4a: Tom Thayer*
4b: Pat Dunsmore
8a: Richard Dent*
8b: Mark Bortz*
9a: Rob Fada
9b: Mark Zavagnin
10: Anthony Hutchison
11: Gary Worthy
12: Oliver Williams
Guys with the asterisks all started for the ‘85 Bears. And yes, future HOF’er Dent was an eighth round pick.
Jake is right, we did have a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.

They had more success in that one draft than Lovie/Angelo have had in their entire tenure with the Bears!

Can we make this green so the bears read it!!
"We were freaking robbed!! Our defense totally dominated all day! What? we gave up nearly 500 yards on defense? Yeah but we stopped them on the 1 yrd line! Our D is awesome!!"
- Entire kool aid drinkin' Pride of Detroit site-
I think that was Jim Finks
last draft for the bears. I think his first got Payton (but I could be wrong about that). There was a GM that could evaluate talent.

According to the Bears official website...
Finks took over in 1974 so he would have been responsible for Walter being drafted. It also credits him in one article for this 1983 draft but then another article on the same site says he unexpectedly resigned in 1982. I agree with you, though, I thought this was his draft as well. Figures the Bears management can’t even get their own website to agree…..
I cant help but notice
that the Bears drafted O-linemen in the first round back then too. Now we have an idiot who keeps drafting defensive linemen and he cuts them year after year. It makes me wanna cry.
you want to cry
go to NFL.com and look at every one of Angelos drafts

Jim Finks' philosophy was to draft good lineman and the "skilled" positions would take care of themselves.
“A great O-line will make average skill guys look good, good guys look great, and great skill players into champions.” I remember seeing that somewhere, although I can’t attribute it to anyone specific but truer words could not be spoken.
Obviously, Angelo/Lovie missed that quote somewhere along the line……
No greater words in football were spoken.
If you have a good O-line and D-line, everything else will fix itself. Either Jerry does not know how to evaluate talent or it is the scouting departments fault which is Jerry’s job to tow the line. No matter what coach you bring in will have problems if they do not draft talented players. You cannot coach talent into a player but, you can chisel a raw talented player into a super star (Webb).
What gives you that impression?
I’ve always found him to be rather unbiased, and he always seems happy to stop in here and answer our Bears questions.
Ha
I’m an idiot. He’s never stopped by here. I must have been thinking about Sean Jensen. Still, I don’t pick up much Vikings-fandom in Siefert’s articles.
The perceived bias comes from him based in MSP and the majority of the articles being Vikings related
Fact of the matter is, the Vikings are creating a lot of news, and it’s certainly not good news, but it’s news that generates page views, which is what revenue is based on.
Sean Jensen previously worked in the MSP area and still has contacts within the Vikes organization. His article about the unrest in the Vikes locker room this week created a huge amount of waves. Does he have a Vikes bias? Hardly, he’s posting news. News that generates a lot of page views and is a good feather in his cap come review time.
The end goal of any news site is to be read. If the articles aren’t read, it generates no money. It generates no money, it shuts down or there is an overhaul from above on the staff. So far, I see neither being done to Kevin.

Denver Post Columnist Says Cassel and Orton Better than Cutler
And this isn’t by Woody Paige. Link Goes onto say that Mickey D was right to deal Cutler.
"I feel like the pieces are in place. But we have to execute...It's about execution. You have to execute. You have to have a scheme that facilitates the strengths of your players. If it doesn't, then it's a bad scheme. It's that simple. So we feel real good about the parts in place on offense."
"We feel very good about this football team. We felt very good about our football teams in the past and it's no different. You've got to go out there and you've got to do it."

really?
It’s not hard for an NFL team to do better at quarterback than Cutler.
