Best of luck to the Chicago Blackhawks this weekend. Start bringing a championship to Chicago. Then maybe they'll flow like Willy Wonka's Chocolate River.
Manning honing his skills at strong safety - So, is he banking on Major Wright not being able to cut it? Or something happening with Harris? Because I'd currently see him sitting behind Harris on the depth chart.
Bears' Manning wants strong shot at safety - More on the same topic, but from a non-organizational point of view.
Bears must clear bonus hurdle to wrap up Wright - Clear it up. Get him on track, with no focus but playing safety.
Green picks broadcasting over the Bears - Phew. I wouldn't have wanted to see this. Granted, if he'd actually been playing, I probably would've given up, put my head down at the bar, and sobbed like a man never should.
Follow WCG on Twitter. If everyone did, I wouldn't have to say it.
The Canadian Press: Three months before season, Saints and Vikings engage in trash talk on Twitter - Two things. One, how does Shiancoe plan to target Sharper? That's going to look incredibly deliberate if the tight end is seeking out the safety on plays. Two, who knew Canada had a Press?
Brett Favre to Minnesota fans: 2009 was 'the best season I've ever had' - Hi. I'm Brett Favre. When I'm not out constantly trying to keep my name in the spotlight of sporting news, I like to take a long continual crap on the fanbase that helped me through my hall of fame career. Sure, I won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers, but the 2009 season where I choked away the last game of the year (a pretty important one) with an interception, that was definitely the best season I ever had.
I'll tell you, it's almost enough to make me feel bad for Packers fans. Almost. Imagine if Walter Payton had popped over to the Lions and said "Yeah, man, this is the best I've ever done."
Saints TE Shockey hospitalized after suffering seizure, says he's OK - Say what you will about the guy, but that's scary as hell.
Raiders demand ex-QB Russell pay back $9.5M in advanced money - McDonald's has an opinion too, releasing a statement that says, "The ridiculous demands by the Oakland Raiders Association are unintentionally designed to ruin our 3rd quarter sales projections."
Mark Hamill to Retire Joker Role After Arkham Asylum 2 - This sucks. His Joker was the best Joker of all the Jokers. (No question.)
Here's 9 minutes of Peppers vs. the Vikings. It's quite fun to watch the man work:

First time I’ve really seen how Peppers can flat-out dominate, even when facing double-teams. Win or lose, it’s going to be brutal for opposing QBs – and that’s how we like it.

I think that was my favorite play
Brett gets planted by Peppers and Harris makes the pick. i could watch that all year.

Julius F-ing Peppers!
Bryant McKinnie & Phil Loadholt are sh*tting in their pants thinking of him twice a year.
Chris Harris is a SS right?
What is going on with the S positions. Chris has played SS if I am not mistaken, so why is he moving to FS and Major/Manning is competing at SS?
Think I need more coffee
I think, and I could be wrong.
The concept is that if Wright isn’t ready to go, Harris slots in at FS, and Manning steps in at SS.
If I did what I love for a living, what would I do in my free time?
Writer at windycitygridiron.com {-/-} http://www.twitter.com/kdoggers
Harris can do both
however I think he’s better suited for SS. And Major will learn FS once he gets locked up.

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on May 28, 2010 8:55 AM CDT up reply actions
So why do the Bears have him at FS?
He has played SS every year but his first, is better suited for SS yet the Bears put his at FS
While Major and Manning played FS but the Bears have them competing at SS
At least from the articles
Manning started to transition to SS beforre Harris was acquired
With Harris in the fold now he can do both, so they figure to keep Manning at SS let Harris play FS… Then once Wright comes in he’ll take some FS reps.
I think internally the Bears want Harris at SS and Wright at FS.

Yes please.
And Manning at nickel. Then the secondary would be looking pretty good IMO.
But I guess we’ll have to wait and see if Wright can hang at the pro level as a rookie. Otherwise it’s Harris at FS, Manning at SS, and let’s stand DJ Moore on Graham’s shoulders and call that a nickel back.

Hey he has tried almost everything else
C’mon Lovie, give it a go! (Sarcasm Lovie in case you are reading this with that serious face I can never tell)
The thought is that Harris
has lost a step, but prefers SS anyways. The ever present need to make Manning useful is going to overshadow the poor coaching job of Major Wright

The comments on the Mark Hamill thing are hilarious.
People are looking at his joker performance with nerd colored glasses

That guys an idiot
It is a big deal—he’s been the definitive voice of Joker for an entire generation. As good as Heath Ledger was, I’ll take Batman: the Animated Series Joker any day of the week.

Writer at windycitygridiron.com {-/-} http://www.twitter.com/kdoggers
The Joker character has been blessed with some fine portrayers of him
Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill and Heath Ledger have all been phenomenal.
The guy that played him on the old series with Adam West wasn’t bad either.
Old School Ceasar Romero!
I can’t pick a fav Joker… I thought all brought their own style to the role.

The TV Batman was great and Ceasar Romero was a great joker
Jack was phenominal as well, but I have to say Adam West is brilliant and he proves it here.

Batman: TAS was AWESOME
I used to run home from school to catch it, because it started at 3. I really didn’t do much looking into Arkham before I bought it, aside from gameplay showoff videos. When I first heard the voice acting I was like…OMG OMG OMG!
Now that I’m thinking of running home from school to watch a cartoon, I’m reminded that I’m thirty now. At what point do memories get so old that they become nostalgia?
When you talk to someone and they have no idea what you are referring to
nostalgia has just kicked in.

WR Depth Chart
Early indication is, our most consistent WR last year will be 4th on the depth chart.
Honestly that may be his best position...
The X and Z in a Martz offense stretch the field more often than the slot guys

So Bennett would be used more underneath, on crossing routes and such?
If so, sounds good to me. Bennett is very good in traffic.
This does make the personnel decisions interesting though. Who’d you rather have catching the ball in traffic? Bennett or Olsen
I’d go Bennett, unless I knew I had a blatant mismatch with Olsen.
Bennett looked good over the middle last year
He has good hands and concentration

A WR's place on the depth chart doesn't mean much in Martz's offense
Wes Welker’s 3rd on the depth chart and he led the league in receptions (or was top five, I think).

Al Afalava
Is Afalava out of the safety mix, or is he still a contender?
"Do or do not... there is no try." - Yoda
Looks like he's out, to me
He’s not better than C. Harris and Afalava won’t out talent Manning. His only hope for any PT, is for Wright to suck horribly this summer.
CNN Headline News
Just did a story on True Hero story on Greg Olsen and his event raising money for Breast Cancer….
Don't know why my mind works the way it does,
but it went straight to the Bud Light “Real Men of Genius” commercials.
Bud Light Presents: Real Men of Character
♫ (real men of character) ♫
Today we salute you, Greg Olsen, Mr. Tight End catching the ball man.
♫ (mr. tight end catching the ball man) ♫
Most tight ends can score touchdowns, but only real men do so while rocking out pink.
♫ (pinks the new black) ♫
Perched on the big stage in your navy blue and orange, you tirelessly battle with undersized defensemen to come down the ball.
♫ (No, you’re not soft!) ♫
Some say you lack awareness. It’s probably because you’ve given all of yours to helping others learn about breast cancer.
♫ (you make you’re mama proud) ♫
And even though you were blamed for some ill-advised passes from your quarterback, you and you’re wife still think he’s dreamy.
♫ (it’s gotta be the bowl cut) ♫
So crack open an ice-cold Bud Light, Mr. Tight End catching the ball man, because every tackle you break and every Lake you Shake, you’re the real savior of the team.

Yahoo Sports analyse the Bears’ main weakness last season (the pass protection) and highlights what Martz needs to do to offset it. I’m hoping the offensive line will gel, as it seemed to be beginning to late last season, but worst case scenario…..
