Does something being posted on the internet

make someone obligated to talk about it publically?

by Dane Noble on Dec 23, 2010 10:57 AM CST up reply actions  

No, not at all

but you can avoid it all together by, not posting “personal” type videos on a site any person on earth with an internet connection can access.

Does it really matter?

Sanchez is the 28th rated QB and far from a world beater. The Bears must shut down the run…Period…and then make Sanchez show how good he is. Bears D must dirty up the Sanchez.

doubtless true, however, the phallic symbol value of the french horn is substantially higher than that of an electric guitar when used appropriately. freud himself would agree.

I never thought about it that way

nor do I ever want to think about it like that again…the french horn as a phallic symbol. It gives me an icky feeling….like someone just took pictures of my feet and posted them on the internet….and it was the head coach of the Jets….and the thought of Devin Hester running for a touchdown after catching a punt titillated that coach…the shoes, all he can see are the shoes running away.

Rex is gonna punt to Hester just to see his feet (had to bring this full circle)

If I were Hester...

Well first of all I’d be a lot more popular…

Secondly, I would contact Ryan and say for every punt/ko I return for a td I will let you touch the feet of a Chicago Bliss player…

And we would win 154-0 because Ryan instruct the Jets to punt the ball back to the Bears on 1st down on all of their possessions.

I say

his ego is too big to not punt to him a single time in the game.
I’d be willing to bet that there will be a point, late in the game, after multiple kicks out of bounds, when Rex Ryan needs a momentum shift, he’ll try to sneak one by Hester and end up paying for it

Buying a winner.

Yes, Julius Peppers made this team instantly better on defense. It’s just a shame that we’ve drafted 13 defensive lineman since 2002, and finally had to throw money at Peppers to find the player they’ve been trying to draft.

The Bears are “buying a winner.” They’re fixing years of horrible draft mistakes with a bag of money.

For the article about everyone and their mother hating on Cutler...

Why is it when Manning or Rivers or Favre throw the exact same stats as Cutler did on Monday do they get praised for leading their team. It just amazes me the media biases for certain QB’s.

by I Have Bearsititis on Dec 23, 2010 10:56 AM CST reply actions  

No doubt.

Fav-ruh has some bad mechanics as well and has long been praised for his gritty, gun slinger mentallity. And for Jay? Negatives. I’d suppose it has to do with Cutler’s “likeability” in the media’s eyes.
