Did I ever mention how much I like Matt Bowen?

Here’s his latest and greatest: Why Lovie needs to play his starters at Green Bay

If I did what I love for a living, what would I do in my free time?

Bowen is good

It’s a tough decision whether to play or no to play…

I don't think it's that tough really

Lovie’s goals every year:

Beat the Packers
Win the Division
Win the Superbowl

I say this ought to dictate how he treats this game.

Funny... cause Forte was being compared to Faulk on draft day

"You win because of the quarterback. We have to get that position stabilized. We're fixated on that." -- Jerry Angelo (12.30.2008)

Jerry Angelo trades for Jay Cutler! (4.2.2009)

maybe Morrissey should stick to the negatives

cuz his upbeat articles sure do suck. They seem forced, if you’re an a-hole just be an a-hole.

I know you're curious Joseph, you're at that age, and you often forget to delete your internet history.

Works for me.

If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.

This is amazing.

First of all (and as someone who works in web technologies), this is awesome, all tables, pre-css… I’m just… In awe!
Second of all, they have a comment in the html that goes ‘badda bing, badda boom’.

Lets get that 12-4 mark

Oline Hat on a hat,
Forte and Knox both 1,000 yards,
and above everything else knock them out the playoffs and DESTROY THEM

I think McCarthney is insulting the team

By saying that Hester is our best player…Most dangerous yes, best player far from it.

(Sing song)...Everybody Hates Rondo...

by T.Moore on Dec 30, 2010 10:00 AM CST reply actions  

I don't disagree that Hester is not our best player,

but how is he insulting our team by holding that opinion?

by Dane Noble on Dec 30, 2010 10:06 AM CST up reply actions  

I was just wondering

Was he NOT watching this defense?

(Sing song)...Everybody Hates Rondo...

by T.Moore on Dec 30, 2010 10:09 AM CST up reply actions  

He will be

On Sunday, he will be. He’ll be watching this defense systematically disassemble his team and its playoff hopes.

by emdub on Dec 30, 2010 10:11 AM CST up reply actions  

I know i beleive he is giving Hester the repsect he Deserves

But i beleive right now our best player on is Cutler and Defense is Hitman. Much Repsect to everyone and pro bowlers but they have made plays.

by chiguy8506 on Dec 30, 2010 11:43 AM CST up reply actions  

Hitman?

suck up!

John "Moon" Mullin

Every time I see his name, it’s always the same way: John “Moon” Mullin. Whether it’s in print or on TV, every single time it’s John “Moon” Mullin.

At some point, I would think you either drop John or drop the “Moon” because… we got it already.

When your as cool as "Moon"

You can have your name posted however you want!!!

I’m just highly annoyed and grumpy today. Everyone and there brother is picking the Packers. The Bears are 10 point dogs. 10 freaking points.

I think if the starters play and we treat this game as it matters (and it does) we can and should win it. Lovie says the starters are playing so let’s do this!!

by Skags on Dec 30, 2010 11:05 AM CST up reply actions  

My feeling is that all the "experts" are assuming

That we will be playing half-assed because we have the #2 seed secured.

I hope we come out and bust them in the mouth from the opening kickoff until the clock says 0:00 in the forth and we keep our cleats on their throats every moment in between.

I think it would send a strong message to our playoff opponents and to the team itself to come out and knock the snot out of the Packers…Momentum is a powerful thing we have it…let’s not lose it!!!

Hester forgot

he was buying gifts for people who weren’t twelve, and said “eh hopefully, they like these toys anyway”

Hey, if the greatest returner in NFL history gives you a gas-powered toy

you take it and you like it…though, if you’re gonna spend $600 on kids stuff, I’d prefer if he bought me a PS3

was there anything less satisfying

than last night’s bowl win. I’m a Illini fan and still couldn’t muster up any excitement, it just felt like a meaningless exhibition.

by jimribs on Dec 30, 2010 4:51 PM CST up reply actions  

Eh, fairly satisfying...

but it is what it is, a minor bowl. Tell ya what though, I kept calling him Ndamukong Liuget; he was unstoppable in the first half. Was a really good showing, especially for the freshmen we had going through the game.
