The Bears Den: June 2, 2010
...wishing a certain WCG-staffer a Happy Birthday!
Charles Tillman hosting flag football event, plans on stripping ball from high schoolers.
Red Zone to be part of Soldier Field experience this season.

Top-10 Lebron combos; is one of them in Chicago?
Are you following WCG on Twitter?
Some clown thinks he's got the Bears all figures out.
Score one for the good guys... sports blog makes it big time.
OJ Atogwe is a free man. How long will he be on the market?
I really couldn't come up with a tagline for this... just, wow.
Here's a good time-waster if you are a nerd like me: Build your own solar system.
And lastly, a very, very special birthday shoutout to HoneyBear. Thank you for all that you bring to WCG... we hope this is your best year yet!

I have been so busy I hadn’t seen this until now. Thanks! I’m an oldie now – 23! :P

Happy Birthday child.
Thanks! I’m an oldie now – 23!
Puke! Unless you’re kidding in which case, uh, Happy Birthday again. Otherwise, I now feel elderly and/or ancient. Thanks for dragging me down. ;) May you stay 23 forever…. (I’ve been 39ish for quite awhile…)
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Happy Birthday to you too!
Even though it’s a few days late! I left for St. Louis on the 3rd, so I didn’t get a chance to respond! :] Hope your day was great! :]

I'm not that worried about Atogwe, wherever he goes.
He’s a solid player, and I would’ve liked him in Chicago, but if he goes somewhere else, I’m not going to naysay the entire season.
Solid, quality, if unspectacular, in my opinion.
If I did what I love for a living, what would I do in my free time?

also
Atogwe isn’t getting any younger. 28 and coming off an injury, versus the young and talented Major Wright.
we can spin this anyway we want now

I believe that the rules of the NFL state that the preseason is all about spinning it however you want to.
And it always works on me. Manning and Harris are our safeties. Wright and Harris are our safeties. Manning will be put in one place and not moved. Tice was the top free agent acquisition. No veteran QB required.
More kool-aid please!
Regarding the Bitish biker. I've found that as I get closer to the end of my time on earth the less willing I am to engage in risky behavior.
That dude definitely has a death wish. Just getting injured at that age takes forever to recover, if you can recover at all.
Who exactly turned them down?
They were the big bidder for Carolina’s Julius Peppers and after several other free agents turned them down.

I believe he must have been speaking of the coordinators..
Adrian Pedestrian!! Now that's funny Mr. Bayless...
I don't think so
If that’s the case he should have started a new sentence and not referenced coordinators in the same sentence he referenced a player.

That's the only conclusion I could come up with...
Everyone they brought in player wise they signed..

did he turn the Bears down?

And Sharper didn’t sign

i can't wait
for that fool carcillo (i think that’s his name) to lay out more of his teammates. i like that the hitting has intensified and will likely get really entertaining tonight and onward.

Not only did he hit his teammate…..He didn’t even check if Carter was ok!!!!!!!!

I actually saw that play.
I haven’t watched a lick of hockey in my life but I saw that play. I watched quite a bit of game 2. I don’t understand hockey but I enjoying the game.

Regular season hockey just boars me to death!! Playoff hockey is just the complete opposite!! I can’t get enough of it…..This years playoffs, is the only hockey I ever watched………..

Get OJ!
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].
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.
They already did.
Out in Vegas. He’s doing time now.

Outstanding sir.
Also, Eric Stangel said that Tim Tebow is the most talked about white Bronco since OJ.

No sane man would argue with that.

Thank you!
I’m very honored that I got to be a part of the den! Woohoo! :P

You could be a part of the den everyday.
I’m sure Dane would let you do them every morning…

Here are many ways to say happy birthday in different languages! (But none to wish someone a belated one) :D
