Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

The Chicago Bears need a TALL red zone target!!!

What up!  What up!!!  WHAT UP!!!  what up...  Yes, Da Meatball Kid is back!  Long time no see!  You know you missed me, ADMIT IT!!!  ROTFLMAO!  Where have I been you ask?  DUH?  The Yahoo message boards, where else?  How did I hack into your little Bears site this time?  HA! HA!  This doofus in front of me on the Metra was logging into WCG and I spied his log in info!  (Cuz I'm Smart And Stuff!)  He has no idea I'm gonna sabotage his stooopid article breaking down the fade route...  Really?  Um, WHO CARES!  I know and you know what you really want to read.  It's still sort of about the passing game, so how ticked can this guy be, but just like I told the B&B show on the Score, the Bears need to sign a tall wide receiver!  REALLY TALL!

Star-divide

As you can see by my picture of choice, I think the Bears should sign Yao Ming.  He's looking for work after retiring from the NBA and his signing could bring the Chinese audience to the NFL!  Win Win!  He's 7'6" and would dwarf all the defensive backs in the league.  Who the hell is gonna out jump him for the ball in the red zone?  He's so big he could put D.J. Moore and Tim Jennings in his pockets and still jump up for the TD.  I just don't understand why the Bears haven't looked to sign a basketball player yet?  But I do have to admit something...  Yao Ming isn't my first choice in retired NBA superstars...  I'd much rather have the recently retired Shaq!

Shaquille O'Neal just signed on to be a studio analyst with TNT, but had Jerry Angelo been listening to me when I called into the Score a month ago, the Bears could have jumped on my idea and had there big WR.  I really should have a consulting gig with the Bears.

I just think with the animated way Shaq plays basketball, always jumping around and yelling, that his fire and passion would really translate to the gridiron.  The Bears would not only have a 7 foot target but also a passionate athlete that I know would care about the game.  Win Win!

But I know...  I get it...  not all Bears fans are as open minded as yours truly.  Some say; 'a basketball player could never transition to the NFL', um, sure buddy.  NEVER.  So for those of you that aren't quite as out the box thinker as I, I present to you another option.  He's 6'6", he's 222 pounds, he's only 28 years old, he's a freakish athlete, and his last season he caught 65 balls.  Matt "Mother F'N" Jones!  So he's been out of football a few years, SO WHAT!  He was only busted with a little coke, not that big a deal...  He'd provide a better option than the other players that have been bandied about on these message boards.  Plaxico Burress: old, dumb, and done!  T.O.: old, injured, and done!  Randy Moss: old, lazy, and done!

Bottom line is this, the Bears need size at receiver!  Let me end with a story.  A story about a big tall dude I played with in high school.  It was before our sophomore year, and we had an exchange student come to us from the Sudan, I couldn't pronounce his name, so we all called him Dude.  Dude was almost 7 foot tall, and our coach was also the basketball coach and he had Dude play football too.  We'd put him in when we got close to the end zone and have him run to the goal line turn around and catch the lob.  TD!  Un. Stop. Able.

So there it is.  I could go on, but my stop is up next!  Until I hack into this site again, See Ya Suckers!

WE NEED MORE MEATBALL KID!!!

Idea

Get D Rose in the red zone. He can probably jump as high as Yao

I think acquiring a tall reciever should be a priority

But I recently read somewhere that the Bears may not go after a reciever at all. I think that’s a big mistake to overlook that position. A 6ft 3in or taller reciever helps with fade routes in the endzone and adds another dimension to the offense. Angelo is such a big advocate of shopping out of the bargain bin so I’m not so sure a worthy reciever of that size will be available.

It definitely would help Jay Cutler out to have that luxury.

From 0-16 to the Superbowl baby!

Comedy? You want some comedy?

Isn’t no Superbowl appearences, 1 playoff win in 50+ years, no playoffs since 1999,having the best running back ever retire in his prime, a decade of comeplete and utter ineptness, numerous records for losses, and an 0-16 season enough comedy for you? Or should I bring up the numerous 1st round draft busts and coaching fire/hires?

Being a Lions fan as long as I’ve been one should make everybody in the entire city of Chicago laugh out loud.

I'll go you one better... I'm a cubs fan

now that we got that out of the way, this thread is about the humor in how everyone is always talking about this tall WR or that Tall WR etc.

and for the record it doesn’t make me feel good when people in Detroit feel bad. I use sports to root for my team not against other fans like you. You will never find me over at the “Pride of Detroit” mocking them for something their team has done. I understand that the people there are just like the people here they just root for a different team. I understand that misery loves company but a little humor is therapeutic as well.

That was a little humor

I figured me saying I’ve been a Lions fan my whole life would be funny to the fans over here, kinda like making fun of yourself in a way.

I laughed quite a bit when you admitted you were a Cubs fan. I don’t know a lot of Cubs fans in the Chi, most are White Sox fans it would seem.

and obviously you dont know much about Detroit sports

The fans of Detroit use humor just deal with all of the losing seasons. When the Lions fans endured the Millen era and that dreaded 0-16 season, most of my fellow Lion fans were joking about how we had a “perfect” record and after the 2-14 2009 season they joked with the “Hire Millen” signs in the crowd, as opposed to the “Fire Millen” signs previously used.

And where exactly did you read me mocking the Bears? I have a lot of respect for Chicago and its fans and don’t feel bad at all about my team, especially now with the optimism surrounding the Lions.

I think humor is also great and being a Lions fan you have to have humor. Otherwise, we would all go mad!

my orginal post was to point out you were giving what seemed like a serious response to an article that Lampooned Bears fans

glad to hear you have a sense of humor. Your being a life long Lions fan strikes me as being loyal rather than humorous. I said I would never go over to “Pride of Detroit” and mock the fans there. I was talking about myself not you.

If you want to see something funny just catch almost any interview by Sox manager Ozzie Guillén.

Current tallest man in the world....

The Big problem might be that he now walks with canes, but I figure we keep nine men back to block and just let him make his way down the field. Once he’s in the endzone, throw and……..touchdown. Nobody is going to stop him! Bears will score on every possession! A decade of Super Bowls, here we come, mwa-hahahahahahaha!

According to Guinness he is 27 years old and 8'3" tall.

He finally stopped growing last year and at 27 has plenty of good years left in him. He makes Shaq or Yao look short. I say go for it!

Ultra-tall people tend to die young, unfortunately for them.

why not also solidify the D-Line

with the Paul Donald Wight, Jr.and Dalip Singh Rana

between their height and weight they could really open things up for the LB’s

Imagine the number for tipped passes.

And we could sign Mark Henry to be a bull-rushing rotation DT. What 2 offensive linemen could stand up to that guy?
