The Bears Den: June 9, 2010

...do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Urlacher speaks to fans on the phone, mentions how Martz is confusing the defense.

LB Briggs talks about the Blackhawks and who his favorite player is. Who's yours?

Bears make room for family-friendly tailgaters who keep there parties alcohol-free.

Jeff Dickerson answers questions from his readers; talks about INTs from Bears QBs.

Did you know that Windy City Gridiron is on Twitter?

Forecasting NFC North injuries... no Bears players made the list.

Is this really the best pizza the NFL could have gone with, or were they just the high-bidders?

Adrian Peterson to miss practice to go to Texas. Fumbling be damned.

NFL Rookies are really starting to turn to more serious crimes... who do they think they are?

I dislike Deadspin, but this is a pretty good story about a corked baseball bat.

Do you mean that

WCG is no longer on Twitter?
And John Pappajohn is a great philanthropist. Just sayin’

If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.

"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

Woot Woot!

"A lot of fans were drawn to me because they knew that whatever the score was, I was going to run as hard as I could on every play. You don't have that now, you have guys waiting for next week or even next year." - Walter Payton

Roach Vs. Pisa

I was surprised to read in Dickerson’s Q&A, that he’s giving the edge to Roach.

It has been my opinion all along that Pisa was gonna be starting this year.

Looks like the competition for strong side LB is gonna be fierce!

Ditto

The defense should only be better with them battling all TC long.

"Is there any truth to the rumor that the Bears gave up their first-round pick in 2011 for the decals?" - Someone registered as the DailyNorseman at PFT suggesting the Bears gave up picks in order to get Gaines Adams tribute decals. Stay classy Minnesota fans!

Hysterical quote by Carroll

I do understand the lure of the maple bars.

Big Buff is my favorite Hawk. Hard to ignore the toughness, size, and skill he brings to the team.

AP will be attending the 4th annual Adrian Peterson Day instead of practicing?

Much ego there? I mean, at least wait until your career is complete before having your relatives create a commemoration event in your hometown, annual no less.
