...Where we want them to remake the movie "Little Giants", but change it to Bears. And keep Rick Moranis.
Bears tight end to host music benefit - Country's not my thing, but I hope a lot of people turn up for this. Great cause, good times.
Bears youth camps set to start in June - If I could pass for 14, I would so totally be at these. I'd also dominate, because I'd be about a foot taller than most of the kids.
Bears discovered hidden gem in former Dolphin Aromashodu - This article is from the Orlando Sentinel, but then it turns out that BIggs wrote it. That guy is everywhere.
Get ready to pay: 18 NFL teams raising ticket prices for 2010 - The Bears are on the list. I'll be disappointed if I don't hear some comment about how they make a billion dollars and should have signed every quality free agent on the market.
Follow WCG on Twitter. You could have the chance to win a million dollars!*
*Not really.
Texans LB Cushing retains top defensive rookie honor in AP revote - He won the award twice. After testing positive for fertility drugs. Can he be stopped? (After his suspension, that is)
Bring the Super Bowl to new Jets, Giants stadium in 2014 - The NY Daily News lobbies for the Super Bowl. In New York. In Early February. That'd be cold.
Cowboys QB Tony Romo makes cameo on NBC's 'The Biggest Loser' - So today we're going to play a game. Since this headline basically writes itself, I want to see funny headlines playing on this topic below. Rec your favorites, and I'll put the one with the highest number of recs in tomorrow's Den. Sound fair?
Well, this guy definitely can't jump out of a pool:

speaking of Giants-based movies...
I saw Big Fan while I was at home ill this week. Awful, awful flick.

It was a pretty good movie.
I went in thinking it would be a comedy. Big mistake. But it was very compelling.
I guess I'm the only one that hated it.
Maybe I just couldn’t relate since I really don’t understand that side of being a fan.
That said, the guy was really creepy looking. He had a huge head and little tiny arms, he looked like a human Velociraptor

Hesitate and lose out on the opportunity to out-smudge the smudger(s)?
Well, no one can truly out-smudge you but I had to try… The guy in the movie (I haven’t seen it) is Patton Oswald and he is a very funny stand up comic. But I understand that the movie is a little jarring. Now I’m not sure if I want to see it.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
haha.
I’m pretty sure I’ve been out-smudged by you, JerBear, Ditka and a few others in my time here. There are some funny people on this board.

Patton is one of the best comics working today.
I’d say him, Attell, and Louie CK might be the best around. And thanks Smudgers. It’s nice to be mentioned in that company (yourself included, obviously.) Even nicer that it’s not disparaging and profanity laced.

I agree
Patton Oswalt, Louis C.K., Attell, I’d also throw in Posehn and Galifianakis.

Yeah, Posehn is good too.
I actually thought of him when I posted, but I didn’t feel like looking up how to spell his name. I’m looking forward to Louie CK’s show, but I’m also a bit apprehensive. I’m not sure how well he’s going to work on network. I mean, it’s FX, but it’s still somewhat censored.

I've tried and tried and still can't figure out the photoshop thing.
Christ, it took me the better part of a year to figure out how to post regular pics on here.

Yeah I can't figure out the photoshop thing either
I don’t think i have the patience to do it. I’m just lazy, there I said it.

Superbowl moving to NY in 2014
would be awesome. opens the doors for Chicago someday. on top of the fact that football games (*FC Championships) are also played outside…man up and play.
they make a billion dollars and should have signed every quality free agent on the market
And Mike Furrey
the fail clip is hilarious… follow that onto youtube and look at some of the others…awesome

Good clip
We know at least one guy Jerry Angelo won’t go after in the next draft.

Anybody else
underwater today? Des Plaines and my basement are both like new oceans.
Bears ticket prices are going up, which seems to be standard every couple of years. I don’t know, but even up high, there doesn’t seem to be a bad seat at Soldier Field. The atmosphere at home games is just awesome. I’ll still pay for tickets.
Matt Bowden goes through the tampa-2 here, except our corners don’t jam.

I'll never understand why they don't jam
Makes no sense to want physical corners then have them play soft

No confidence in the rush or secondary. Maybe this year Charles will check some bi**hes
knowing that Peppers and the Hitman have his back.
they played off cause Lovie called them to play off

Bowden replies to a reader comment…
Matt, since the corners in a base Tampa-2 play press coverage, if the corners are playing off the receivers 7 or 8 yards then is it safe to assume it is a cover-3? If that is the case, then the Bears played a lot of cover-3 last year (always fun watching the CB give an 8 yard cushion on 3rd and 6 and then watch them backpedal on the snap). Is cover-3 geared more towards stopping the run with the safety (8th man) moved up into the box?
with
When corners are aligned in an “off-position” we can assume that they are playing a single high safety defense (Cover 1, 3, fire zone). But, the corners can walk up at the snap and get a jam if they are disguising Cover 2.
However, you are correct when you talk about Cover 3. Bring the SS down into the box to create an 8-man front (Cover 2 is a 7-man front). You see plenty of Tampa 2 teams using Cover 3, such as Indy when Bob Sanders is healthy.
What’s the difference between a cover 1, cover 3 and a fire zone?

Biggs in Orlando Sentinel
Seems like he just copied and pasted the same article from the Sun Times.

That would probably be bad news
given that he works for the Tribune :P

Tony Romo on The Biggest Loser, sadly not about his playoff record
Eh, that’s all I got for now. Weak sauce.
"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
