I don't think King has ever predicted anything

I do enjoy his writing on occasion, but as a predictor… not so good.

To be fair, he does admit beforehand that he’s not good at predictions.

Even Bozo would say he's a clown.

I just skimmed the beginning of the article and almost couldn’t bring myself to click any further after seeing the Packers #1. Chicago behind Detroit is laughable and 25 is just insulting. But if we had played better the last 2 years none of this would matter. Of course it doesn’t matter what King says anyway since they actually have to play the games.

Does anyone with the name Bozo..

..really need to say they’re a clown. I think not. I do agree that P King is in the category at times.

Seifert

Has the Packers in a tough spot at LG. Maybe they should’ve drafted for their needs and not ours!

Seifert thinks the Bears are smelling rosy a year after The Trade.

yeah,

and maybe we should have drafted for our needs, as well.

5 I believe but we could've have traded for more picks to get more D linemen.

my goal...

would be to field a defense full of undersized but quick lineman with injury concerns, and an offense of nothing but converted cornerbacks. We’d be unstoppable.

You might be on to something

how do you feel about TE’s who don’t block. I also think we’d be set if you got Matt Jones, TO and Plaixco.

What we really need to make the whole thing gel

Is tackles converted to play guard and guards converted to tackles then add in an aging center and viola! Instant success!

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

by Just Dave on May 17, 2010 1:33 PM CDT up reply actions  

I like this.

And then if it doesn’t work out, we can just get rid of the old ones and grab a few seventh round prospects to take their place.

So Wootton has a neck issue

why am I not surprised…

Not suprised at all...

But I’m not really a guy to blast the Bears that hard for trying to find value in “injury risk” guys, because every single player in the NFL is an injury risk and guys careers end every year with flags on them or without.

I’m more annoyed by the fact there were multiple quality lineman on the board at a pick made for injury value.

I like the fire from our other 2 QBs

LeFevour working just to make the team and Hanie not rolling over because of his lack of experience. I think the back-up QB position will be fine.

"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

I liked what Hanie said, the vet will have to beat me out

We're finding out if Mark was abducted by aliens

and we’ll re-post his final unfinished work in effigy. All of the comments will still be there.

This convo is hilarious...

I’m watching GG play “Destroy All Humans” on his xbox and he’s an alien that does abduct and anal probe humans (it’s not graphic though… don’t worry) :] But this convo fits so well! :]

Why is it that aliens

always go for the anal probe first? Is that the first orifice they find intriguing?

by Just Dave on May 17, 2010 8:45 PM CDT up reply actions  

I dunno...

in this game it just shoots a laser at them and their heads pop off & the alien eats their brains and keeps the DNA… really weird… haha.

I would hazard a guess that when they examine abductees, the latter are talking out of one orifice (well, protesting… if conscious) so the aliens deduce that the other one is a socket.

I was at that Rush game. It stunk.

Russ Michna looked like crap. Every long pass he threw was either overthrown or intercepted.
