The Bears Den: June 10, 2010

by Dane Noble on Jun 10, 2010 7:39 AM CDT in The Bears Den

Congratulations Blackhawks!

Den links after the jump!

LB Urlacher speaks up and talks about all the new guys on defense.

Kevin Shaffer is no longer in the mix at Left Guard.

Since that is the case, which direction will we go in at LG?

Marinelli and Peppers are already clicking, looking forward to wreaking havok.

Highlights from yesterday's practice.

Windy City Gridiron is on Twitter!

WR Johnny Knox settling in to the new offense under Mike Martz.

And Earl Bennett is just happy to get a shot at any of the WR positions.

Kevin Seifert takes a look at cold weather starts for NFC North QBs.

RB Wolfe excused from practice; Hamsters everywhere on full alert.

Parking at Soldier Field this season? That could cost you a grip.

USA Today's newest edition of the Bears Team Report. Always a good read.

Guess whose jersey is the top seller for the Bears? It might not be who you think it is.

And finally, a salute to the Chicago Blackhawks and their championship season. Well done!

Good to see Shaffer get some guard reps

but it’s better to see him not in the mix as a starter. He’s a swing tackle, but the extra work inside will only help with depth.

Let us know if they play Danke Schoen and Twist & Shout a la Ferris Bueller.

Congrats Blackhawks

If there is anything that is fitting to take the place of the Bears Den picture for a day, it is that.

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.

Pretty optimistic statement from Halas Hall.

Quote: “We’ll look for the bowl to match.”

I’d be satisfied with just being invited to DINNER in 2010.

I wouldn't.

You play to win the game, or so I’ve heard.

If I did what I love for a living, what would I do in my free time?

Certainly!

… But, with an entirely new and complex offense, I am tempering expectations to a winning season and a successful offense campaign.

If the Bears make the playoffs this season and have a top 10 offensive unit, I can only see the team getting better as the offense is fairly young and will get better with more comfort and experience.

If they don’t get the “matching cup” I won’t be disappointed. Just improvement.

Hahaha.

Nice. I didn’t even think of that connection. :] Clever.

Classy pic

Fills me with pride for what my teams have done and what they are capable of doing. I know there’s serious problems with the O line, the receivers and the secondary, but right now: I believe. Super Bowl!
