The Bears Den: Friday the 13th of August 2010 Edition

Download_medium
Where you narrowly avoided a "Jason X" picture, because I love it when evil gets an upgrade.

Urlacher impressed with Cutler, offense (Warning: Big Autoplay Video) - Brian Urlacher has been much more friendly with the media lately. Maybe they've replaced him with Robolacher.

Fundamentals key in Marinelli defense - Running around yelling "Give me the ball" is not, in fact, fundamentally sound.

Bears reach injury settlement with WR Robinson - I wish I could get paid for being hurt.

Star-divide

Chicago Bears: Rod Marinelli eager to see defense in action - I'm eager to see the defense in action, too. The fundamental difference? My job doesn't depend on it.

Follow WCG on Twitter.  It's like having dinner with Bea Arthur, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Justin Bieber all rolled into one. Except, you know, fun.

Make sure you show up here tomorrow, as we'll have our very first Game Thread of the season!  Most of us won't have the luxury of seeing the game live, so our Open Thread Chicago Bears Kickoff Party will be rockin'!

 

Lovie says starters could play a half vs. Chargers - I hope so. Then, when the starters destroy the Chargers second string, we can get way too into it.

Bears place RB Unga on injured-reserve list - I believe his injury will be listed as general soreness or ninja attack. Seriously, they mean practically the same thing in this case.

Vasher among familiar faces awaiting Bears - I hope he does well. I'll still take Bowman.

Cutler can call on high football IQ - I still like this trade. I mean, can you see Orton running the Martzfense? *shudder*

Bears' succession plan - They have a plan?

Athleticism of tight ends thrills Martz - It should--they're very talented. 

Say hello to Jay Cool - The team notices a change in Cutler. I think it is sorta like in Big, where one day a 12-year old is a man. Or something, I dunno, I didn't make it through this one.

Notebook: Bears speak highly of Vasher - "He's a great guy, we just don't want him playing football for us."

Rivera's influence on Bears not forgotten - I'd hope not. He took you to the Odin-damned super bowl.

Wright impressing with pass defense - Yay! That's why he was drafted!

What the Hairs Up With the Bears? - Mohawks.

SideNote: Why Ben Affleck Deserves More Respect - Because we had a discussion about this, and I want to make sure to revisit themes of the site so when someone writes the book about WCG, they can say "Who was it who brought the Affleck to it." and everyone will say, "Kev"

And now exclusive footage of how Pat Mannelly trains:

RE Tight ends under Martz.

I believe that a coach develops plays within his system to best utilize the skills his players bring to the table. Just because Martz doesn’t have a history of utilizing his TEs other than as blockers shouldn’t mean that he doesn’t view a TE as a valuable receiver. Not many teams have elite tight ends, let alone more than one good one, but the Bears have 4 good to excellent tight ends, with one that has the potential to be elite. To not utilize them would be foolish and shortsighted.

Maybe it's related to the fact

That he both looks and acts like Superking of the Douchenozzles.

Haha.

He said if he had the chance to relive it, he’d stand in front of her and let it hit him in the back.

Well, no duh. After being a douche in front of America, I’d assume you’d do it differently. LOL

i would like to know

how much the injury settlement was, just out of curiosity. 1,000? 5,000? 100 gift card to some 2nd-rate chain restaurant?

LMFAO...still

That Jason pic. is great! Alright now…no more talking…football’s back tomorrow. Time to have the liver serviced and made ready for the season!

What's the air schedule of the preseason game?

Will it air live locally, or will we have to catch it on NFL network?

"They say the glee team has lured stragglers into sniper traps with cheery renditions of hit songs." "Really? And people fall for that?"

I couldn't find it in my area which is Omaha

Looks like I’ll have to wait til Sunday night on NFL Network.

All the Love for Rivera

If Lovie doesn’t survive the season, Rivera will be the first guy interviewed, right? I mean the plays still gush about him and Briggs has hinted in the past that he should never have been let go in the first place. I think it would be a shame if they don’t at least give him an interview before the next head coach is hired.

"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

I have my fingers crossed for the same thing!

WOOOOOOOOOO!

In the 8th grade Mike Ditka won his school's Science Fair with a model of a working volcano. There were 17 other working volcano's made that day, but only one named Mount Ditka.
