...where HoneyBear needs to watch No Country for Old Men.
As we mentioned yesterday, we are bringing on another writer to WCG. We are already the biggest and best independent Chicago Bears website on the internet, but we realize the need to add value whenever possible.
Since joining WCG a little over a year ago, NiqueBears has contributed over 40 well-written FanPosts, and his most recent string of match-up posts have been very well-received by the WCG community. That's why we have reached out to Nique and offered him a spot as a full time writer, and lucky for us, he accepted. His first post will debut this evening!
Now, how about some Den links...
Jerry Angelo and his weekly Q/A with Larry Mayer on the team's official site.
Frank Omiyale is fitting in nicely at right tackle.
WR coach Drake ain't gonna be tricked into sayin' nothin' he don't mean.
For those who like to say Cutler isn't a leader: link.
John "Moon" Mullin provides updates from last night's practice.
Martz admits blitzing was reason Cutler was pulled in San Diego.

The Mannelly Mullet
Just discussed Pat Mannelly’s well sculpted mullet with Pat Mannelly. He calls it a “gourmet mullet.”
I’ve got to see this! If anyone is heading to camp, we need a picture. I got a glimpse of it at Day 2 practice, but didn’t notice a mullet. He had it slicked back like Pat Riley.

Congrats Nique on your promotion.
And this talk of a Mannelly mullet could actually reverse the rotation of the Earth. Everyone please tie down anything special to you.
If Mike Ditka punched you in the face, you'd have to fight off the urge to thank him.
HAHAHAHA
As soon as I quoted that I second-guessed myself. Dangit!

Welcome aboard Nique!
but everyone with the Bears head logo need to change it up a little. I now see a grand total of four writers with similar avatars :)

I think this posting stands as pretty good proof it was you.
Please don’t tell anyone it was me who inspired you to change it for Nique!

No I understand, probably should've thrown up a disclaimer.
Good looking out.

And just what the hell is wrong with that?
What are you saying? Do we need to take this outside?
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
Thank You Dane
I watched that movie a few months ago and I said to “You know, it’s a really good movie you should watch it with me.” But it is incredibly violent so I understand why she is hesitant about seeing it.
"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’d let you have your “guy time” and watch it with your guy friends… yeah… that’s my story. ;]

Congrats Nique!
I look forward to reading more of your work.
Well deserved!
Well done, Nique!
Congratulations, sir!

Where have I heard this before?

You think it's Lovie speak

It's actually a John Maxwell-ism.
He always talks about adding value to people, and hearing (or reading) something over and over tends to become a part of your everyday nomanclature.
I have to be careful talking to you because
I feel like a lot of the time I’m learning something and it freaks me out a little.

Didn't know that, and irate is too nice for what I'm feeling at this moment.

Well it only makes sense.
No player could have 100 ratings across the board.

Butkus would have all ???'s.
And then when the game started, he would jump through the screen, punch you in the face, call you a woman for playing video games, and eat all the cookies in your house before breaking the door on his way out. An army of little video butkuses would spring up creating a swift and violent apocolypse. This is why video games weren’t invented/released until well after butkus had retired.

This makes a lot of sense.

I noticed as well...
And does Johnny Knox look a little crisp on anyone elses screen?
And they pronounce Robbie Gould as Robbie Ghouuld. Instead of Gold.
AND furthermore
Craig Steltz isn’t in the game either. Unless i got a bad copy.
And on my Bears roster it still has Jamar Williams, but yet they somehow magically have Chris Harris too.
AND
We still have Bazanez.
I have a lot of problems with this new game.
That's why they have Roster updates.
Was it last year C. Harris pic was mixed up with somebody else? Oh yeah, and Steltz was a “fine gentleman to the left”.

too much love for the rookie
Is this a no hazing zone?
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.

Not as good as that guy from the Dolphins but still nice to see him pitch in.

Madden rosters
I think a couple of you guys have the same game I do…it’s the Madden on PSP and I have questions about those rosters too. No Mannelly, No Steltz, or Kellen Davis. There isn’t even create a player so if a guy makes the team, you can’t add him in there.
:-D
Johnny Knox set down his helmet and began signing autographs after the last public practice of training camp in Bourbonnais. One boy, who couldn’t have been more than 4-years-old, handed him a Bears helmet to sign, which Knox did with a silver marker. The boy then put the helmet on and walked away. Knox didn’t realize until a few minutes later that he had just signed his own helmet. He had to chase the boy down to get his own helmet back.

That is hilarious… and adorable.

Mullin has more tidbits. Whatever else, morale seems to be high:
Knox had put the headgear down near the rope line in front of fans and a teammate had covertly picked up the helmet and given it to the young fan, who put it on his head, then gave it to the unsuspecting Knox….
Aaand yet another reason to like Dez:
Tight end Desmond Clark made his way over to visit with a severely handicapped fan wearing a No. 88 (Clark) jersey. The two talked for a while and Clark made the man’s day by signing the jersey. Then Clark ran into the locker room.
He was back a short time later and presented the fan with a pair of his shoes.
