The Jags are expected to waive Torry Holt, and the Bears are likely to try to sign him, or even claim him off waivers to force him to play for them.  

Hey, whatever it takes to sign a once great WR who caught as many touchdown passes as I did last year.

He was drawing a little tougher coverage than you were and still blocks better. Eh, I don't know. I'm on the fence here. You've touched a lot of people, sure. But this guy could really coach up the young'ens in this new Martz clusterfuck and all that.

Yeah, but let's not forget that Andy was pregnant with twins.

[Andy]

That's true, I was scoring for three.

Awesome, sign him to coach the wide receivers then.  As a coach.

I'm with you but I'm not convinced he wouldn't be an upgrade to all but maybe Hester, who sucks.

Ordinarily I would agree with you, but the Orlando Pace experience has crushed whatever goodwill that Greg Maddux built up for my teams signing great players in decline.

All the goodwill will come back when the Cubs give DeRo a 2-year deal in 2014.

Funny. For me it was Greg Maddux who crushed whatever goodwill that existed for my teams signing great players in decline.

Yeah, I can see how an aging veteran who actually lived up to the terms of his contract can do that for you.

I know I was heartbroken that he filled a role that he was asked to fill.

[Andy]

I was really disappointed when he led the Cubs in wins in 2004.

He only won 38 games for the Cubs in those three years, then six more for the Dodgers after he was traded for the awesome Cesar Izturis.  I expected more than 15 wins per season from a 38 year old.

Wouldn't it be a good thing to retire this thread and put that whole mess behind us?

Yes.  There are definitely a few other threads that could be retired, too.

I was just fucking around. The Cubs blew during that second stint and Maddux was not the reason why. But I kept being reminded about how good he was after the Cubs let him go and it made me angry. And now I'm bitter. So the experience was not a good one for me and I don't think the Bears should sign Torry Holt as a result of it.

Good.  Now can we close this thread?

We're hesitant to do so because the only thing offering the potential for more disappointment than the 2009 Bears squad is the 2010 Bears squad.

I think if you're setting a bar anywhere above the ground for 2010 you deserve to be disappointed.
