I really want one, but I can’t figure out what player is going to be here for 6 or 7 years.
any suggestions?

I like the orange jerseys.
My first and only jersey is the Urlacher orange jersey. Also, since the Bears starting wearing the orange jersey they are 5-0.

the orange jerseys are remarkably ugly

The Rasheid jersey is probably less expensive,
it comes without sleeves since he doesn’t use his arms for anything useful anyway.
Couldn’t help myself…..

We'll take him in the 4th
cause we wouldn’t want to risk another team drafting him in the 7th.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Those throwbacks are nice, however;
The current Bears will not, of course, wear the original leather helmets.
sigh
They should all come out of the tunnel wearing leather helmets though.
How cool would that look? Do the pre-game warmups and coin toss with the leather helmets on, then obviously change for when the game starts.

Martz'
comments yesterday didn’t make it sound very likely that Olsen would be here after the draft.
Greg Olsen “needs to get grounded in blocking” as he becomes acclimated to the team’s offensive system.
“If there is a player who can’t fit a system, then there is a problem — if he is a good player — with the system….Our deal is that we will give everybody an opportunity to find who they are and how they will contribute.”
“I am not disappointed in any respect,” Martz said. “It’s hard to run the ball if you don’t have a tight end that’s going to handle the edge.”
Maybe I’m biased because I’d like to see Olsen traded if they can get solid (i.e. 3rd round, or Olsen plus a pick for a second rounder), but this doesn’t sound like someone who is trying to find a way to adjust his system for Olsen.
DEJESUS!!!
Here's an idea for a throwback: Winning a championship.
"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)

and an Orton quarterback, won’t bring you wins

WOW!!
Did anybody read the comments on the Martz praising Cutler article? Is that normal activity for that website?
Yes
they hate Cutler….Most of them never wanted him and claim orton the better QB and the next johnny unitas / joe montana…..

There’s a reason I don’t both bother reading comments for anywhere other than WCG. The idiot factor is at least 70% elsewhere (rising to 90%+ at Yahoo), compared to no more than 20% here outside of game threads.

I read two comments into an ESPN thread the other day, and just closed the window while shaking my head.

Did anyone see that Ole is offically moving from guard to Right Tackle...
Nice to actually see it in type, hopefully it stays that way

Its just one more thing for me to get hooked on and take away from my studies…WCG and Facebook and N64 do that enough already hahaha
(Asshole Sr) "If you learn one thing here, NEVER pass out in Ohio."
N64, as in Nintendo 64...
Decided to finally upgrade from the Atari, eh?

Hey, I still play Goldeneye all the time on mine.

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.
I would still be fishing in Zelda: Ocarina of Time if the N64 hadn’t died a death.

Love that game, but I'm still terrible at it

I never got past the Water Temple (first time around). My brother finished it, though. The fishing, that’s what it was all about.

Exactly,
Its refreshing to go from a 360 or a PS3 with amazing graphics and gameplay to a simple N64 with something classic like Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Harvest Moon, Tony Hawk or Golden Eye…brings me back to my childhood, to complete the transition I put on a CD of Third Eye Blind or Creed and all of a sudden I’m 9 again…Honestly I play more N64 than anything else.
(Asshole Sr) "If you learn one thing here, NEVER pass out in Ohio."
It's sad to me that N64 is taking you back, and 3rd eye blind makes you feel 9!!!
LOL. I take a trip back with Atari, Duckhunt on the NES and NBA Jam on Super NES. Paper boy is the greatest game of all time and doesn’t get the love it deserves. I wish I still had a NES and Super NES.

tempting offer but...
I’m getting ready to sell my Xbox and my 360 with games and all here soon. Don’t really use them much anymore. Keeping the Atari though.

I had a NES too back in the day
Duck Hunt was fun but Spy Hunter was by far my favorite game, I had the huge controller too, with the buttons the size of 50 cent pieces and a joystick.

Title: Bears plan to keep Olsen
Truth: Bears plan to keep Olsen as long as they do not receive an offer, of a second rounder or better.
Which they wont get
According to hub the GMs he claims to have spoken to claim Olsen is only worth a 4th round pick at the most….other wise Olsen can get a 5th or 6th rounder…..

BIG NEWS GUYS AND GALS!
Michael McCaskey is RETIRING at the end of this season which will leave George McCaskey as Chairman of the Board. IMO this is great news for the Bears as it has been long discussed that George has the better mind as to what the Bears need for the organization to run successfully. Michael leaving appears to be a positive step towards a different family reign that should be more efficient, I hope!
