This is my 4000th comment on WCG...
that got me thinking. Damn I have no life or I really love Bears football and talking with all you guys. So what do you do for a 4000th comment? I don’t really know. I will say it’s been a fun ride so far and watching this site grow into what it’s become has been fantastic. For all the regulars that I’ve had some good quality banter with such as, my boy Smudgers, Dane (always be GeauxBears to me), Adam T, ChiFan, Juicebox, rdent4hof, Wilt, mike b, Sackman, Ifuwanna, Allie(Half Blind Cubbie Girl), Galloping Ghost and Honey Bear, JerBear, propheteer, Gesiakob, Eaten by Bears and I’m sure I missing someone who will get all up in my face about it shortly. Also thanks to Kevin Payne and Chris Harris for coming over and giving us that insider persepective. So here’s to all of you who make this the best Bears blog around, hopefully the next 4000 with be as much fun as the first 4000. So I guess I’ll do what I do best and end with this…..
BearNecessities you're my assistant, okay you're supposed to

Before they holler at me
PSDB, Anytime and Spongie sorry for neglecting you the first go around. Oh and unless Juice Williams is going to change positions he won’t make the team, even if he did change positions I still don’t see him making the 53 man roster.

I'm switching my browser use from Firefox to Chrome...
and I scheduled it for 4pm, but it posted on the front page instead. Not sure why, so I had to go in (with FF) and fixerize it.
I did notice it had a comment on it, but I can’t tell what was said or who made it. I think the comment will get lost since I had to re-build the post. Anywho.

I think so too.
People rag me for not using Safari, since I’m on a mac. But I really liked the add-ons that firefox offers. I’m giving Chrome a trial run, but they still have some issues that need to be worked out (at least for the mac beta version).

Now I'm only
1989 behind you! Watch out or I’ll catch up. Although considering how this was your 4000th post and you’re already at 4101 then I’d say I won’t catch up.
"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

Well you're actually a little closer than you thought 4101 was

From the Dickerson Q&A
Q: I keep hearing (almost daily so far this off-season) about Greg Olsen fitting into Mike Martz’s offense. It seems to me I heard that Martz comes from the Don Coryell coaching tree, and I’m old enough to remember a Hall of Famer that played tight end for Coryell in San Diego name Kellen Winslow. Am I correct? If so, how hard would it be for Martz to dust off some of those old plays? —JD, Terre Haute, Ind.
A: Your memory is accurate. Under the direction of Coryell, Winslow turned in three monster seasons: 1980, 1981 and 1983. In those three years, Winslow averaged approximately 88 catches, 1,179 yards and nine touchdowns from the tight end position. He is the perfect blueprint for what this offense can do for a pass-catching tight end. Martz is a very intelligent person, so I’m sure he’ll dust off similar plays for Olsen. Whether or not Olsen can execute and produce like Winslow, that’s another story entirely. Martz has the reputation for being tough on certain players during practice, and I get the feeling Olsen is going to fall into that category. Sometimes people just need to be pushed to reach their full potential. If Martz pushes the right buttoms and Olsen even slighly resembles Winslow, the Bears’ offense will be much improved.
If the chips do fall this way. And Olsen’s potential is fully realized. I’ll be happily eating crow! From day one, I’ve been saying Martz and Olsen won’t work. But given Olsen’s talent (with a lack of toughness), Martz may actually be what the doctor ordered for Olsen.

Or maybe stop drinking all of the juice box’s and just be The Juicebox.
nothing you haven't heard from any source already...
he pretty much sticks to his modus operandi of not divulging anything interesting.
I just clicked on the link and it works.

Fat Albert
Although I don’t care for his “me first attitude” lately, the Bears should at least inquire about him from the Skins. Our D-line would be beastly with him starting next Harris and Pepp. Give up Harrison and 4th for him.

Actually, it wouldn't be overpiad
If you look at Haynesworth’s contract, it was structured almost like a series of 1-year options with a huge signing bonus up front. Without the signing bonus cap hit (which Washington has to absorb), his year-to-year salary is actually pretty small.
Riddle me this.
If the Bears receivers are being knocked for being young and inexperienced, then how can someone turn around and in the same breathe pump another team up for their draft. Would’nt these players also be.. wait for it.. Young and Inexperienced.
Adrian Pedestrian!! Now that's funny Mr. Bayless...
Shopping around: The Bears have 81 players on their roster so when they sign their remaining three draft picks — Major Wright, Corey Wootton and Dan LeFevour — they will have to cut one player to reach the 80-man limit. Two candidates are tight end Richard Angulo and veteran safety Josh Bullocks. A league source said the Bears have been calling around shopping the players even though it’s unlikely either would bring anything in return.
I really didn’t see Bullocks on the short list of players being cut first. I mean I like it, I just didn’t see it happening.
