Its that place where the Bears go
to find people you’ve never heard of and attempt to convince you that someday they’ll do something noteworthy on the field. Usually they wind up getting cut and almost never see the field for at least a season or two. It hasn’t been a real significant event around here for a while so I’m not surprised you are unfamiliar. Let’s see…. it’s where we got Johnny Knox. That ring a bell?
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Oh wait.
Ok, yes. That’s the place where we acquired the amazing Cedric Benson for a paltry free, correct?
I remember vividly now.

Tony Scheffler is a Lion
Chuck Norris once met Dick Butkus and had a very odd feeling come over him. Chuck later realized it was fear

"I was interviewing George Halas and I asked him who is the greatest running back you ever saw. And he said, 'That would be Red Grange.' And I asked him if Grange was playing today, how many yards do you think he'd gain. And he said, 'About 750, maybe 800 yards.' And I said, 'Well, 800 yards is just okay.' He sat up in his chair and he said, 'Son, you must remember one thing. Red Grange is 75 years old.' - Chris Berman

Manning to participate in the offseason conditioning program.
The Bears filled a number of holes in free agency, but safety is not one of them. According to Dickerson, the Bears’ first-team safeties during early workouts have been Josh Bullocks and Craig Steltz. In the judgment year of the Smith-Jerry Angelo regime, do you want either of those players on the field on a regular basis?
I know I don’t. Here’s what we have to look forward to if they don’t bring someone in. Bullocks lowlights
And there’s this one from 2009. Keep your eye on 36

Huge Offensive Lineman
I think J’Marcus Webb looks like a nice late round pick.
The Bears just keep bring in OL for pre-draft visits. Two more visit Halas Hall

A lot of this is just posturing
and doing homework in case they get a chance to acquire some of these players down the road.

Sun-Times article on Lovie’s obsession with “trait” players. Interesting, if damning, read.
"F*** everybody outside of Halas Hall. BEARDOWN" - WavyGravy
"44 years of football history and nothing to show for it. I wish I wasn’t banned at the Norseman.." - tfrabotta
Damning.
Dammit!! But isn’t this more of a conviction of one Jerry Angelo, who must approve all player personnel moves?
