Bennett eager to return from injury - I feel bad for the guy. I'd hate for him to find the mythical Smith doghouse because he's been injured all preseason.
Hanie's only focus is rehabbing shoulder - Which it should be. What's he supposed to do, go all Tonya Harding on Todd Collins' knee or something?
Bears' offensive line has plenty of work to do - Very rarely do words ring as true as they do in this headline.
Bears don't need opponents peppering tackle Chris Williams - Pompei talks about the play/practice of Williams. Read it.

Hanie, Collins to battle for Bears' backup QB job - They should take this battle into the octagon. But not until after going through Jay Glazer's MMA Training for Footballers.
'No excuse' for ongoing problems on 3rd down - 3rd down is going to be a thing this year, probably. If the defense can fix these things up now, perhaps we won't spend our Mondays saying, "if only, if only."
Harris showing Bears how it's done - Showing up and practicing. Good on you, sir.
Confident QB Collins sure he can master Martz's system - I hope he does. Still don't want to see him on the field.
Bears see no need for preseason panic - Generally speaking, I haven't seen them feel a need to panic in a long time. The whole getting Todd Collins thing comes closest in my book.
Injured Bennett keeps his head in playbook - ESPN is kind enough to chip in and basically say everything that we knew from the chicagobears.com story.
Kreutz realistic about line's need to improve - Perhaps he should just threaten to break all their jaws. It worked another time.
Teammates not concerned about Urlacher - He'll be fine, they say. I hope he will be. He's sorely needed.

Top ten most annoying football players
Cutler is #6….and also number 6 on the list
Link Pops a whole lot

Huh?
Enough said. He’s worse than any quarterback, ever. Good luck with that, Chicago.
Ever? As in… EVER?
I think this Andrew Sharp may not be the "sharp"est knife in the drawer. See what I did there?
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.

I don't think Andrew Sharp...
Can really cut it in this business…

Yeah
That’s why he’s considered one of like 8 “franchise” Qb’s in the NFL
Has probably THE strongest arm of ANY QB in the NFL
and had the value of two first rounders
Yeah
He’s Turrrrrrible
the smith doghouse
…while bad for the Bears, has been good for the individual players who have gone on to greener pastures and been successful elsewhere. Marc Columbo is a good example of this phenomenon. It bothers me that players struggle here for whatever reason, and then are cut loose only to make good somewhere else.
"Stay thirsty, my friend."
Being in Smit's doghouse may actually be a good thing, since Smith has absolutely no ability to recognize or develop talent.
I’m surprised he hasn’t tried to have Bennett put on 25 pounds and switch positions to free safety.
crap...you now can be sure
that’s what’s going to happen…and then they’ll have Major Wright study under Daniel Manning and learn how to move to every position and squander your talent

no ability to recognize or develop talent.....hmmm
Tommie Harris Pro Bowler, Briggs Pro Bowler, Vasher Pro bowler,Hester and Knox pro Bowlers, Mike Brown, Forte, Olsen, Bowman, Tillman, Roach, C. Harris and even Alex Brown are all good players..I left out some but you get the point. Not to mention each and every one of those players were drafted by the Bears…You’re right tho he cant see nor develop players…Not like any of the blame could possibly go to the players for being busts..They are the ones who hafta put in the work but a coach controls it all and makes the players better. Self motivation is a non issue in regards to a player living up to potential..

How many players have actually gone on to grener pastures?
Marc Columbo? Who was always injured and trash while he was here? We should have definitely kept him on the roster at that point and time…Maybe Cedric Benson who gets in legal trouble twice in a month? We really should have kept him and Tank Johnson…Then i would have to see Bear fans complain about that. Bernard Berrian and rex grossman really went on to greener pastures and we cant forget Kyle Orton who is thriving in Denver..Who was the last ex Bear to make the pro bowl for another team?

Brett Favre’s top target reportedly had hip surgery Monday and might miss the first half of the 2010 season.
Rice told a Star Tribune reporter in a text message that the surgery went well. It is expected that he will miss the first half of the season recovering from the surgery.

I imagine Brett Fav-ray is having second thoughts just about now.

I fully expect that if the MN Farves start off poorly this season Brett will decide he's had enough and be home for Halloween.
They are so screwed in MN. I must struggle to suppress my Shadenfreude.

I don't know about that. I don't think he'll pass up a whole seasons worth of stats.
But if he plays bad enough to get benched…

I saw him on the ochocinco show not too long ago and just kept thinking to myself….“And this guy makes all this money and STILL has never had a 1,000 yard year lol.”

Which one? that one touchdown pass last year I think for 90 yards?
Or some other crazy thing.

Of course
they twist it to pertain to Brett Favre. Who cares that he’s his top target? It’s about Rice, not Favre. Argh.

Todd Collins worst case senario paycheck....
So, his worst-case scenario now has Collins, a former Michigan star, collecting $150,000 for two weeks.
Man I wish someone would offer me that “worse case” senario.

Just made my day.
I’m at work and was a little nervous about clicking on the link given the description. But thanks!
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
No, thank you, sir,
for living on the edge.
