Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

The Bears Den--May 27th, 2010 Edition

 

Bear_s-den2_medium_medium
(Listen now!)

Horn a role model in his community - Dude's got the off field stuff down pat. Now can he get on the field?

Bears' Smith appreciates Forte's 'pro' approach - I realize Smith hasn't had the best of luck, what with Cedric Benson and all, but shouldn't you have a pro approach by your third year?

Tice impressed with Bears offensive line -  This one's good. A must-read, I'd say. Tice spells out what he's seeing in long-form interview format.

 Bears' Olsen making his mother proud - Say what you will about his terrible rapping skills, but this guy's an ok football player and raising money for some darn good causes.

 Bears get 'special' reprieve - The special teams doesn't have to worry about the new overtime rules.....yet.  (See what I did there?)

What's that? I thought everyone had heard. WCG + Twitter = Magic Happy Fun Time

Star-divide

Ex-Bears TE Brock signs with Cowboys - Chicago Breaking Sports -  Auf Wiedersehen, guy who would never have seen the field. 

Judge dismisses suit vs. Brady, Bundchen related to '09 incident  - Phew, good to know the golden boy and la superhotra aren't having dudes shoot at other dudes.




I hope we get some of this, too:

nice pick6 peppers

although that pass was almost as ill-advised as when sex cannon threw it directly to jason taylor 2 yards away in 06.

that tice article is a good read too, like reading some real critique from coaches in interviews

I said that before, I‘ll say it again. I was really high on him coming out of college. I gave him a first-round grade; a high first-round grade. He has the ability to be that guy, that island left tackle if you will. But he has some work to do. His left hand is consistently dropping. He needs to get that thing up. He needs to set more squarely when he comes back in pass protection, and do a better job at stunt pickup. So he’s got some work to do. I just think the sky’s the limit for Chris. How good does he want to be?

I was at that game.

And sitting in that end zone.

as when sex cannon threw it directly to jason taylor 2 yards away in 06.

I pick one game a year and I had to choose that one. And my brother-in-law’s a Dolphin fan. Gag.

I'll admidt it I've had conversations mostly involving acronyms...

the fun part is when an acronym can have more than one meaning. Sometimes it’s just easier to communicate that way since it’s so widely understood. Don’t smush my face though, cause that’d take away from my modeling career.

the best is people who try to make acronyms out of words that shouldnt be

my personal favorite...

involving acronyms, is when people use one, but still say the last word it afterward. Like saying CPU Unit or PDA Assistant, what sense does that make?

There's just something about the name Levi Horn that intrigues me. It screams NFL.

As I said in a thread when he was drafted, that’s an NFL name if I’ve ever heard one. It conjures up a vision of big farm boy playing the O Line. Whether he makes the team or not, he sounds like he has his head on straight.

If I may offer a suggestion and simultaneously expand our readership’s vocabulary with completely useless words, we could even refer to them as the Minnesota Princelets (a princelet is “a young, small, or subordinate prince”) or the Princelings (a petty or insignificant prince).

Or, to use a word that doesn’t exist but should, the Minnesota Princelettes, for that all-important effeminate quality.

Loved the Tice article!
We’re very athletic. So we’re gonna try to get our guys out in space. I think we’ll be very good in the draw game. I know we’re gonna be able to run the inside zone because in my tenure, everywhere I’ve been, we’ve been able to run the inside zone. So we’ll be able to run the inside zone. We’ll dabble a little bit with power, but probably not as much as they ran it here last year.

Scratching things from last year… Good move Coach Tice!

Adding a zone blocking scheme excites me.

[I’m] really, really pleased with their progress to this point; most notably Johan Asiata and Lance Louis have really stepped it up as young players and showed me that they have the ability and the maturity to play at this level sooner than later."

And this is very encouraging. Especially about Louis.

Potentially, Tice could make Martz look like a genius this season… And that wouldn’t be a bad thing.
