QuoteBears President Ted Phillips has aligned the Bears with the Dallas Cowboys (and the already publicly owned Green Bay Packers, plus the Denver Broncos potentially) as teams open to the idea of open books, something demanded by the players' side as long as owners are asking for a $1 billion giveback to help teams with operating expenses.

"If the league feels to get a deal done, they need to release [financials], we're on board," Phillips told the Chicago Sun-Times. "I'm actually proud of how we operate our club. We think we do a good job, revenue-wise and expense-wise."

Open financial records? I think Chuck just creamed his Sunday slacks.

SPORTS!

Big Ben is marrying his best friend and the whole world wants to know: what kind of flowers will they pick out and where are they getting their cake and who will the bride be wearing and what's it like to be so gosh darn happy?!?!?!

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6303407

QuotePITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger will marry a 26-year-old physician's assistant whom he said he met during training camp in 2005 and has been friends with ever since, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for a story in Thursday's editions.

...

Roethlisberger said he was surprised by how much media attention his engagement to Ashley Harlan received when news of it leaked out earlier this year to news media.

"I was surprised at how much media attention it was getting -- it's just an engagement," he told the newspaper. "I never expected it to be on the front pages of all the papers and websites. There was speculation what our invitations would look like and who is coming! It almost seemed surreal, it was like a movie or something, it was weird."

...

He said he has received correspondence from fans telling him there was something different about him -- even before reports of his engagement became public.

He said they would write: " 'Ben, you look like something's different with you. You look like a happier person, you play happy, you smile more on the field.' Part of that is because I'm a happier person, I'm in a happy place, but a lot of that has to do with her, too," he told the newspaper.

Roethlisberger's PR people clearly have some strong stomachs.

QuoteHe said he tries to shield his fiance the best he can from fans and the media. He said some people have shown up at her parents' house and have done "some things."

BHWorld reporting, pre-draft includes this awesome nugget.

Quote
Citing multiple sources, the National Football Post reports that Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett skipped his team visit with the Panthers earlier this month after "a late night on the town."
Mallett met Panthers officials on the evening of April 8, but reportedly canceled for April 9, when the bulk of his visit was supposed to occur. Mallett reportedly "called and said he was sick," after being spotted out late following dinner. The reporter here -- Brad Biggs, also of the Chicago Tribune -- is one of the best in the business, so we have a hard time believing it's "pre-draft misinformation." In fact, the Charlotte Observer's Joseph Person confirms the report. It will do nothing to dispel the notion that Mallett is a massive off-field character risk, possibly with consumption and addiction issues.

It is my new mission in life for my company to do their wedding invitations.

And it wouldn't be the first NFL QB's wedding we work on, but we signed a confidentiality agreement so I can't say who.

Not as exciting as a gay or rape wedding. As far as NFL quarterbacks go, it's just about the most boring one we could get. Here's a hint....the invitations are purple.

Gabe Carimi was a damn pick at #29. I am not at all pleased that the Lions drafted Fairley. That interior D-Line is now ubermegafuckingterrifying. Jake Locker was the dumbest pick of the night. Followed closely by Newton.

What about Ponder?  Wasn't he benched by FSU at some point this year?

Not benched, just constantly fucking injured. Oh and his arm strength is pretty meh. Not a bad triggerman for the west coast offense though.

Great for the Bears that Carimi fell to 29, he's a roadgrader. The scouting reports I read through had concerns about his lateral quickness/foot speed and consequently his ability to play LT and block speed rushers. But at 29 you're not going to get a Joe Thomas or D'Brick, Carimi is about as good as it gets at that slot. Hopefully under Tice's tutelage he can improve that footwork.

As for the botched trade, read this and tell me the Bears don't look like idiots.

I think the Ravens filed a grievance with the NFL, seeking the 4th round pick. We could still lose the pick, nice one Jerry.

And for those keeping score from the debate that occurred last fall, that's three rounds ahead of Sir Armcock.  The bad news, is that we won't see Mallett take meaningful snaps unless Ladywig gets hurt.

Yeah, Mallett's character concerns and lack of mobility dropped him big time. I don't believe the argument was ever about where each would get drafted. Just who would be better. I'd say Armcock going to the Pats guarantees him a successful career.

Ponder's not good.  He didn't play for the dominant Florida State teams of the 90's.  He played for the struggle-to-get-7 wins Florida State teams that seemed to win just as much when he DIDN'T play as when he did play.  Ponder was an awful pick and yeah I think it's ridiculous that 6 QB's went ahead of Mallet.

Mallett's character concerns were overblown and had as much to do with him talking "wigger"-ish as the public intox and marijuana rumors.  I guarantee almost every white football player in Texarkana has a similar accent to Mallett.  Plus, some people in his family have some weird Cajun-ish accent thing going on.  Mallett was the leader on that Razorbacks team from the moment he joined the program.  He got in trouble once when he was at Arkansas.  Character concerns, my booty.  People didn't like how he talked.  That's where it all came from.

He's obviously preparing to replace Cutler because without an offensive line his career is not going to last long. What's he supposed to do, draft a guard or something?

Gabe Carimi was a damn pick at #29. I am not at all pleased that the Lions drafted Fairley. That interior D-Line is now ubermegafuckingterrifying. Jake Locker was the dumbest pick of the night. Followed closely by Newton.

What about Ponder?  Wasn't he benched by FSU at some point this year?

My guy??

And for those keeping score from the debate that occurred last fall, that's three rounds ahead of Sir Armcock.  The bad news, is that we won't see Mallett take meaningful snaps unless Ladywig gets hurt.

Yeah, Mallett's character concerns and lack of mobility dropped him big time. I don't believe the argument was ever about where each would get drafted. Just who would be better. I'd say Armcock going to the Pats guarantees him a successful career.

That and Mallet has a supposed Dan Marino @ pitt-esque obsession with Columbian Nose Candy.

Mallett's character concerns were overblown and had as much to do with him talking "wigger"-ish as the public intox and marijuana rumors.  I guarantee almost every white football player in Texarkana has a similar accent to Mallett.  Plus, some people in his family have some weird Cajun-ish accent thing going on.  Mallett was the leader on that Razorbacks team from the moment he joined the program.  He got in trouble once when he was at Arkansas.  Character concerns, my booty.  People didn't like how he talked.  That's where it all came from.

I can never tell when you're joking.  I hope this is one of those times.

He was a reputed pain in the ass at Michigan.  The guy has significant accuracy issues that seem to come in spurts, and often appeared at bad times in big games.  These teams also do personal interviews at the combine.  Neither you or I know what occurred there.

If you think that a "stupid sounding accent" really makes that much difference, then Peyton Manning would have been taken in the 6th round.   

he was a pain in the ass as an 18 year old kid away from home for the first time.  There was no such reports of such behavior at Arkansas.  As far as accuracy disappearing in big time moments, give me some Christian Ponder big-time throws or big-time wins. 

There's a difference between a guy talking with a Southern accent and a guy that people say talks "black".

Are there any free agent linemen the Bears could go after once this lockout ends? I just don't understand how the O-Line could not be THE focus of this draft. Unless Carimi can block four guys at once, I just don't see how the O-Line is THAT much better next year.

After two good picks to start the 2011 Draft, the Bears have drafted a slow safety and a poor man's Cutler from Idaho. I just don't understand how Angelo can be so fucking horrible at drafts and yet keep his job.

He's obviously preparing to replace Cutler because without an offensive line his career is not going to last long. What's he supposed to do, draft a guard or something? Cutler is a pussy.

The fact of the matter is the Bears gave up half as many sacks in the second half as they did in the first for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is that, towards the end, Webb and Williams were playing passable football with upside at the RT and LG positions. If you move Webb over to the left and put Carimi at right then you've got three spots where I think you're actually going to be okay. The problem is the decline of Kreutz and Garza and frankly this was not a draft that was deep in those positions. Good draft for tackles, not for the interior. Hell, I think Pouncey is overrated and he was still the best there was. I'm interested in what free agent moves he'll make as well but as far as it needing to be "THE" focus of the draft, well, no. It needed to be "THE" focus of the first round and it was. Drafting Tommie's replacement was a huge fucking need as well (and it has been since 2008). And the Conte pick bugs me not because he's a bad pick but because Danieal Manning is apparently demanding more money than the Bears can pay him after he justified his 2nd round status in exactly 1 of his years as a Bear. This offseason's got a long way to go considering FA hasn't even started. Relax, chief. There was nobody they were going to pick in the late rounds that's going to be a drastic upgrade from what they've already got.

I didn't feel like Vick choked against the Pack but rather got the living Christ kicked out of him. Which would have been glorious if it weren't for the ghey glam-rock looking turds doing the kicking.

Apparently 1) you're only tough if you're black. 2) McNabb isn't black enough to be tough, like Vick or Terrell Owens.

Bernard Hopkins is a bit, shall we say, punchy.

I also enjoy how quickly Eagles fans  have jumped on Michael Vick as being so much better than McNabb, when McNabb at least made it to the NFC Championship game before choking out of the playoffs every year.

You honestly think Mcnabb is still a good quarterback?

No no, I don't mean now. I mean I know several Eagles fans who act like Vick is better than McNabb ever Was, which is total horseshit. There was a period later in his career where McNabb was helped alot by the team he had around him, but for most of his career he was the main reason that team ever got anywhere near the Superbowl, not the reason they never won it.

NO ONE MAKES SAD COMMENTS ABOUT MCNABB OR GROSSMAN TO SKO.

1. I've made my reputation as a Cutler dongchugger. 2. The KO stands for neither Grossman nor McNabb, buddy. 3. I just don't think Michael Vick was all that great after his hot start last year, and I think the Bears and the Packers and the Joe Webb led Vikings showed that. Alot of the McNabb-hating part of the Eagles fanbase act like they've exorcised some great demon and finally got rid of the thing that was holding them back and they're exactly 0% better than they were in the McNabb era.

Indeed. Things are looking most optimistic. Either way, the important thing is that the CFL preseason kicks off tonight as my personal friend  (http://twitter.com/#!/HenryBurris/status/80988976462299136) Smilin' Hank Burris leads his Calgary Stampeders into action against the Big Cheyenne Lions .

DPD. THIS. I had a few moments of doubt, but for the most part I stuck by my opinion they'd get it sorted out before training camp since the rest of the offseason really means fuck-all anyway. All this did was point out once more how pointless OTAs are.

They've made such fast progress, I'm told, it's catching many of the principals by surprise. Some are now canceling vacations, believing an agreement will be reached within a matter of days.

Indeed. Things are looking most optimistic. Either way, the important thing is that the CFL preseason kicks off tonight as my personal friend  (http://twitter.com/#!/HenryBurris/status/80988976462299136) Smilin' Hank Burris leads his Calgary Stampeders into action against the Big Cheyenne Lions .


The opening night of the CFL takes place the same night as Game 7 of a Stanley Cup Finals in which a Canadian team has the chance to win the Cup for the first time in almost 20 years?

Nice choice Jim.

It's not like Gary Bettman was involved in this. Then you know there wouldn't be a conflict.

Not much, far as I can tell. Someone said they hoped that with the lockout ending he wouldn't have to cover stupid shit like this and he rightfully lamented that he'd have to have addressed this either way, because this fanbase is beyond fucking stupid. Speaking of which, Bernstein had a good piece  (http://t.co/vFReCrl) today.

1. Give Cutler a lifetime contract, inclusive with sideline blowjobs from his favorite Iowan.
2-5. Spend all additional money on offensive lineman and wide receivers.

I'm not necessarily against Pen's plan. But my five moves:

1. They only need to re-sign three of their own guys: Kreutz, Pisa, and Anthony Adams. We just had this talk in the sbox, but I'm not in favor of them overpaying for Kreutz. If he demands too much, gamble on a cheaper stopgap for a year, since there are very few centers worth elite money and Kreutz ain't one of them. I'd take Pisa over Roach because Roach is young and probably wants a multi-year deal but he's worth committing to as a starter and Pisa plays well when he's healthy and you can just get him a one year deal for the third year in a row. Anthony Adams is a good nose guard and a veteran to pair with the youth they have at the 3-technique in Paea, Melton, and Toeiana.

If they get those three guys and don't have to find their replacements in free agency, these would be ideal:

2. Starting guard over everything else. Plenty of under-30 guys with lots of starting experience. Some meatheads want them to pay Mankins if the Patriots take the tag off, but I'd be more in favor of a younger guy they can get for multiple years. Harvey Dahl or Justin Blalock of Atlanta would be my top two since I don't think Tampa will let Davin Joseph sneak away.

3. Sign at least one wide receiver, obviously. The talk about getting a big 6'4'' guy isn't likely to pan out since the only one who might fit into Martz's offense is Rice and they won't have a bidding war for a guy with his injury history. I've made my hopes for Braylon Edwards known, but if they're just going to stick with guys who are fits for the offense, at least get a better short guy, so probably Santana Moss or dealing a low round pick for Steve Smith. I'd also be okay with taking a chance on Ochocinco if Cincinnati releases him. Given the choice of those three guys I'd probably gamble the most on Steve Smith.

4. Even if they bring back Anthony Adams, I'd probably look at one more defensive tackle since Lovie can never have enough depth there (I'd be willing to bet that the Bears will only keep two QBs active on gameday since the new rules did away with the emergency QB roster slot and allow teams 46 players on the active roster and that Lovie will use that extra roster spot for a DT). Brandon Mebane of the Seahawks is one name I've heard that would be a nice, affordable run-stuffer.

5. Find a reasonably priced cornerback that they can throw into the competition with Tim Jennings and Zack Bowman. DJ Moore is locked in at Nickel so he's not going to compete, but I don't trust either of those two very much and P'Nut's injury history is a concern.

QuoteThe Chicago Bears have informed veteran punter Brad Maynard that they intend to move on without him rather than signing the free agent to a new deal, according to a source close to the player.

Maynard, 37, spent 10 seasons with the Bears after starting his career with the New York Giants. He received the call from the team late Monday afternoon.

Apparently, the Bears are prepared for a youth movement at the position after signing 28-year-old Richmond McGee to a two-year contract this offseason. The Bears apparently are also eyeing veteran Steve Weatherford, 28, as Maynard's replacement.

Maynard wasn't satisfied with his performance last season — his 10th with the Bears — as he finished 32nd in the league in punt average (40.1 yards) and 29th in net average (35.2). His recovery from right hip surgery affected his punting, and weather and field conditions late in the season, along with some pooch punts at the start, didn't help his statistics.

But Maynard still is regarded as one of the finest directional punters around, and he stands second-best all time with 407 punts inside the 20 in 14 seasons, behind the retired Jeff Feagles (554).

Time to start making money again!

SKO, if you were Jerry Angelo (shudder), what would be your first five moves?  Don't say suicide.

1. Give Cutler a lifetime contract, inclusive with sideline blowjobs from his favorite Iowan.
2-5. Spend all additional money on offensive lineman and wide receivers.

I'm not necessarily against Pen's plan. But my five moves:

1. They only need to re-sign three of their own guys: Kreutz, Pisa, and Anthony Adams. We just had this talk in the sbox, but I'm not in favor of them overpaying for Kreutz. If he demands too much, gamble on a cheaper stopgap for a year, since there are very few centers worth elite money and Kreutz ain't one of them. I'd take Pisa over Roach because Roach is young and probably wants a multi-year deal but he's worth committing to as a starter and Pisa plays well when he's healthy and you can just get him a one year deal for the third year in a row. Anthony Adams is a good nose guard and a veteran to pair with the youth they have at the 3-technique in Paea, Melton, and Toeiana.

If they get those three guys and don't have to find their replacements in free agency, these would be ideal:

2. Starting guard over everything else. Plenty of under-30 guys with lots of starting experience. Some meatheads want them to pay Mankins if the Patriots take the tag off, but I'd be more in favor of a younger guy they can get for multiple years. Harvey Dahl or Justin Blalock of Atlanta would be my top two since I don't think Tampa will let Davin Joseph sneak away.

3. Sign at least one wide receiver, obviously. The talk about getting a big 6'4'' guy isn't likely to pan out since the only one who might fit into Martz's offense is Rice and they won't have a bidding war for a guy with his injury history. I've made my hopes for Braylon Edwards known, but if they're just going to stick with guys who are fits for the offense, at least get a better short guy, so probably Santana Moss or dealing a low round pick for Steve Smith. I'd also be okay with taking a chance on Ochocinco if Cincinnati releases him. Given the choice of those three guys I'd probably gamble the most on Steve Smith.

4. Even if they bring back Anthony Adams, I'd probably look at one more defensive tackle since Lovie can never have enough depth there (I'd be willing to bet that the Bears will only keep two QBs active on gameday since the new rules did away with the emergency QB roster slot and allow teams 46 players on the active roster and that Lovie will use that extra roster spot for a DT). Brandon Mebane of the Seahawks is one name I've heard that would be a nice, affordable run-stuffer.

5. Find a reasonably priced cornerback that they can throw into the competition with Tim Jennings and Zack Bowman. DJ Moore is locked in at Nickel so he's not going to compete, but I don't trust either of those two very much and P'Nut's injury history is a concern.

Free agent Mike Sims-Walker told the Chicago Tribune on Monday (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-freeagent-wr-simswalker-says-bears-would-be-ideal-20110725,0,425514.story) that he'd love to play for the Bears.

6'2, 212, coming off a down year, could come on the (relative) cheap.

Bears also possibly interested in Roy Williams since his only good year came with Martz as his OC. They could do worse, but I fucking hate that guy.

Roy Williams. Guh.

Speaking of guh, surprised you haven't weighed in on this (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-07-26/sports/chi-spt-harrismove_1_danieal-manning-major-wright-bears). We spent 4 years watching him flounder, only to lose him after the 1 year when he figured shit out.

QuoteIn a move that signals the Bears are not likely to re-sign Danieal Manning, veteran Chris Harris will be moved to his more natural strong safety position when the Bears hit the practice field for the first time Saturday in Bourbonnais, Ill.

That will clear an opening for Major Wright, the club's third-round pick a year ago, to slide into the starting lineup at free safety.

I feel like I've mentioned it a couple times this offseeason somewhere. Perhaps some other place on the internet where I'm known to discuss my opinions on football from time to time. Either way, you can ask Dolan. I complained about it on twitter and at Tonkfest. Fuck that guy. Four years where Lovie forced him into the fucking lineup and traded away a productive player in Harris the first time and he jets as soon as Lovie's annoying and constant faith in him pays off. Hope he gets funny cancer.

DPD. Bears also appear to be interested in Jason Babin. It'd be interesting to see if he could repeat last year's 12 sack season (at age 30), but it's not a terrible idea. Get someone else to take attention away from Peppers and you can move Izzy back into the rotation between DT and DE and improve the pass rush at both positions.

He averaged 3.5 his first 5 years in the league.  He sucks and was a fluke.  Like Tommie Harris.

That's a possible explanation, but it would also keep his price down from what a 12 sack guy would normally demand. I'm sure the opportunity to play opposite of Peppers and not having to worry about the extra attention that he would  normally draw after a year like that may be incentive to take less money to come to Chicago. I doubt the Bears would overpay him. Hell, they had an opt out clause that would have allowed them to walk free from Peppers this offseason if he'd have gone bust. Either way, they wouldn't be depending on him to be "the guy" and the more pass rushers they have, the better.

Also, a lot of his struggles in Houston came from the fact that he was a poor fit as an OLB in a 3-4. Tennessee is awesome at coaching their DE's, and you NO ROD MARINARA WILL COOCH HIM INTO A MAULIN RUSH MAN!

This doesn't make a lick of sense. I'm not sure why the Bears would trade Olsen at this point, since he's their only proven red zone target, he actually played fairly well last year, he's still cheap, and the playoff game against Seattle should have quieted the whole "Martz NEVAR throws to the tight end crap," but what I really don't get is why Rosenhaus would say the Bears would be "generous" in compensation for him. Fuck that. They have no incentive to get rid of him. Who cares if he's unhappy about his salary? He's cheap and they have plenty of cap room and if they don't get a decent pick for him they'd be better off just keeping him for the 5-8 TDs he's going to get anyway. This isn't a high-priced vet they need to dump, so why would anyone think they'd just be willing to flip him? Guh. I'm no huge fan of Greg but this makes no sense from any angle.

B/c he's not that good and they have 5 other TEs that could just as easily catch 5-8 TDs, along with watch 6-8 other opportunities in the red zone get thrown to the other team by Utler.

I agree that he's replaceable, but I don't see the sudden need to trade him, especially if Rosenhaus is right and the Bears aren't asking much in return. The fact that he's expendable doesn't mean they have to just dump him on somebody. As little as he makes there's no harm in keeping him and using him this season if they can't get more than a garbage pick for him.

Forgot to hyper-link.  (http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/6811546/chicago-bears-looking-trade-greg-olsen-sources-say) Rosenhaus apparently sent an e-mail asking if anyone wanted to be Greg Olsen's secret girlfriend with a box for Yes or No and then said the Bears would be "generous" about compensation. Then he retracted it.

Bears acquired Matt Spaeth from the Steelers, so Greg is definitely out. Assuming they get one of the tackles that they're targetting and a center, the issue of protecting Cutler seems front and center this offseason. Seems to be a novel approach.

Tim Shaw's Butt Buddy reports the Bears will release Manumaleuna and that this may open the door for Olsen to stay. He also fondly remembers Tim Shaw's gentle caress and flighty accent that would send shivers down his back fat rolls.

Or, like the rest of the known world, you could run around screaming FIRE THE BASTARDS until something happens.

Bushrod's down, back with the Saints. I'd expect the Bears to go after Willie Colon hard now.

Oh, for Christ sake. PAUSE

Now Tim Shaw's Sensual Lover says that the Olsen shit is still going down and the Bears are looking to cut him loose similar to the way Tim Shaw used to cut loose on the dance floor at their private salsa lessons that one time on holiday in Key West.

Ochocinco cost a 2012 fifth and a 2013 sixth. That might have been nicer than Roy Williams, who is now a Bear. This is going fucking' splendidly so far.

Bears are moving fast today, even if they're going somewhere no one understands. Signed Roy Williams and Sam Hurd, both of them low-risk signings, I guess, but unless Roy manages to magically recreate his awesome numbers under Martz five years ago we'll all hate him to death. They also agreed with Paea and Conte, leaving just Carimi unsigned. Hopefully that means they're moving fast on their other FA targets. Whomever they are, although I'm not sure who their plan D on the offensive line was after Colon, Clabo, and Bushrod. Hopefully Justin Blalock or Harvey Dahl of Atlanta. I'd prefer Blalock.

Will do.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/10194/sam-hurd

It seems that SAM HURD has played a lot of games without catching a lot of passes. Does he rate high on special teams? They lost Rashied to the Lions, so this might be a better signing than most figure.

EDIT: SAM HURD BONERTIME

Quote"He can play," former Cowboys receivers coach Ray Sherman told the Tribune. "He has a great work ethic and is smart. Tough. He has no fear. He's a great special teams player. He probably was the best special teams player there, and he played very well at receiver too."

Bears are moving fast today, even if they're going somewhere no one understands. Signed Roy Williams and Sam Hurd, both of them low-risk signings, I guess, but unless Roy manages to magically recreate his awesome numbers under Marts five years ago we'll all hate him to death. They also agreed with Paea and Conte, leaving just Carimi unsigned. Hopefully that means they're moving fast on their other FA targets. Whomever they are, although I'm not sure who their plan D on the offensive line was after Colon, Clabo, and Bushrod. Hopefully Justin Blalock or Harvey Dahl of Atlanta. I'd prefer Blalock.

Every time you mention a lineman he gets signed by another team. Stop this.

It seems that SAM HURD has played a lot of games without catching a lot of passes. Does he rate high on special teams? They lost Rashied to the Lions, so this might be a better signing than most figure.

EDIT: SAM HURD BONERTIME

I bet the Packers were happiest team in the NFL when Shaw took his talents to the Music City. The Bears played them tighter than a nun's asshole twice late in the season and one can't help but think what might have been if only... sigh.

Bears signed DE Vernon Gholston, formerly of the Jets.
The No. 6 overall pick in the 2008 draft never tallied a sack in three years with the Jets, so noted D-Line tutor Rod Marinelli has his work cut out for him. On a positive note, it's a low-cost flier and Gholston has nowhere to go but up in a 4-3 scheme better suited to his strengths.

Looks like Chris Spencer of the Seahawks is your new center. Fine. This bullshit Kreutz drama has managed to hide the fact that Kreutz has been barely above mediocre since 2007. If that fat sonofabitch wanted more than the 4 million I've heard he was offered, he can rot. Still need a guard, but this free agency period hasn't been bad. The Okoye and Gholston moves were acceptable low risk, low cost moves. It's not like they're relying on either of them to start. Izzy is still there, they brought back Anthony Adams, and Paea is under contract and ready to go from day one of camp. So I don't see what there is to bitch about other than the normal "look the bears signed someone elses bust LOLS." If one or the other reaches their potential and works their way into the starting lineup they were smart moves, otherwise it doesn't hurt them in the slightest since Wooton, Melton, and Toeina are still there as well.

Seriously, fuck Olin Kreutz. Only center in the NFL that manages to false start at least once a year. Oh, also, let's not forget the fact that the reason they couldn't ever make the common sense move of protecting Cutler by putting him back in the shotgun for most passing downs was that that geriatric sonofabitch was "uncomfortable" with shotgun snaps.

Looks like Chris Spencer of the Seahawks is your new center. Fine. This bullshit Kreutz drama has managed to hide the fact that Kreutz has been barely above mediocre since 2007. If that fat sonofabitch wanted more than the 4 million I've heard he was offered, he can rot. Still need a guard, but this free agency period hasn't been bad. The Okoye and Gholston moves were acceptable low risk, low cost moves. It's not like they're relying on either of them to start. Izzy is still there, they brought back Anthony Adams, and Paea is under contract and ready to go from day one of camp. So I don't see what there is to bitch about other than the normal "look the bears signed someone elses bust LOLS." If one or the other reaches their potential and works their way into the starting lineup they were smart moves, otherwise it doesn't hurt them in the slightest since Wooton, Melton, and Toeina are still there as well.

Seriously, fuck Olin Kreutz. Only center in the NFL that manages to false start at least once a year. Oh, also, let's not forget the fact that the reason they couldn't ever make the common sense move of protecting Cutler by putting him back in the shotgun for most passing downs was that that geriatric sonofabitch was "uncomfortable" with shotgun snaps. I'd be uncomfortable too if I fucked up as many as he has.

So what do we know about Spencer?

Better pass protector than he is at run blocking, more of an athletic center than a powerful one, but so was Kreutz. Biggest problem has been durability, but he's at worst going to give you what Kreutz would have at 38 and is probably an upgrade if he stays healthy. Tice likes to run a lot of inside zone when it comes to running between the tackles, so Spencer will probably be a good fit for that.

Also, can I take the time here to Positive signing Marion Barber III? Martz won't run the ball enough to allow Forte's back up to get injured, so as a pure short-yardage machine I can assume that Barber is going to reap souls.

Have I been asleep for 20 years?  When did a half million dollars become a small amount?

"Contract talks with Kreutz broke down Saturday night over $500,000, Angelo confirmed. The relatively small difference doesn't sound like it was the professional conclusion that Kreutz no longer could play."

Quote from: Rick ReillyPeyton Manning will keep his streak alive. If you think he's going to miss a start because of a neck problem, you've been chugging paint thinner. This guy hasn't missed a start since 1994 at Tennessee. Do you know how long ago it was when Manning didn't start for the Colts? Google was two days old. Kim Kardashian was 17.

Bizarre weekend in the NFL. Lot of huge passing games. Can't remember the last time there were this many 300 yard games in one weekend.

Was there a last time? I count thirteen 300+ yard showings by QBs so far this week out of the fifteen completed games.

This ties the NFL record, set last year in Week 10.
Last Year: Matt Ryan, Shaun Hill, Kitna, Eli Manning, Matt Hasselbeck, Derek Anderson, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Cassel, Matt Schaub, David Garrard, Troy Smith, and Michael Vick.

This year: Brady, Henne, Romo, Sanchez, Newton, Brees, Rivers, Ryan, Cutler, Rodgers, Kolb, Grossman, Stafford.

Speaking of tying 2NFL records...

Just one if you limit it to kickers who don't have a big block for a foot.

His was certainly the ugliest effort of them all. Yikes.

As angry as I was at Denver's sorry showing last night (cost me a little), I am extremely pleased to remember that the Bears will be paying those sacks of shit a visit later this year. And the whole town will be gunning for Cutler. Sometimes life just gives you a moment. That will be a sweet one.

Indeed. Hell, I remember when they were despondent in that town because Cutler came back and wiped the floor with them in the third preseason game in 2009. Glorious.

The Cal Bears played at Boulder last Saturday.  Although Cal won in overtime, it was obvious to all that they were clearly unprepared for playing at that altitude.  Do pro teams do anything special to prepare for going to Denver?

I'm just waiting till later in the season when that is truly, finally no longer applicable and the people arguing against the trade lose their last bullet, since Orton is now just 32-30 while Cutler is up to 35-34 and 18-14 as a Bear.

Kevin Kolb single-handedly defeated the Eagles on Sunday...

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/11/16/kolb-was-calling-out-eagles-plays-to-arizona-defense/

QuoteIf you watched Wednesday's PFT Live, you heard Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb telling Glen Macnow and Anthony Gargano of 94 WIP in Philly that, during Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Kolb was calling out the Eagles' plays to the Arizona defense.

If you didn't watch Wednesday's PFT Live, thanks for nothing.

The entire interview is posted at the WIP website, and Sheil Kapadia of philly.com has transcribed portions of it.

"During the two-minute drill, you almost feel guilty," Kolb said.  "Mike's sitting there giving the signals, and I'm standing there on our sidelines, screaming at our corners, 'Hey it's a go ball, hey he's running a screen, hey he's running a slant.'"

It's unknown whether and to what extent all of the struggles of the 2011 Eagles can be blamed on coach Andy Reid.  The failure to change signals and formations and other things that a guy who spent four years with the team as a quarterback could use to help an opposing defense falls squarely on Reid, especially since Reid knew that Kolb likely wouldn't be playing — and thus able to loiter on the sidelines when the defense was on the field, in lieu of working with the offensive coaches.

Savor the flavor, TEC. Because it sure as hell won't happen again.

Let's just not speak such things aloud. They might honestly move Lance Louis to left tackle and try Levi Horn at right before that put Omiyale back in again. Tice just fucking hates the guy at this point. The Carimi thing does suck. Had this move happened when Chris Williams was healthy I'd have been fine with it, because the five they had were playing well enough that it wasn't an issue, but this sucks. Hopefully this isn't a Marc Colombo repeat. I'm not terribly down on Edwin Williams though. I think in pass protection he'll be pretty comparable, I just don't think he's as athletic as Chris Williams and that'll hurt the run game since Williams was doing a fantastic job (the Clay Matthews disaster in Week 3 aside) of getting around the edge.

Let's just not speak such things aloud. They might honestly move Lance Louis to left tackle and try Levi Horn at right before that put Omiyale back in again. Tice just fucking hates the guy at this point. The Carimi thing does suck. Had this move happened when Chris Williams was healthy I'd have been fine with it, because the five they had were playing well enough that it wasn't an issue, but this sucks. Hopefully this isn't a Marc Colombo repeat. I'm not terribly down on Edwin Williams though. I think in pass protection he'll be pretty comparable, I just don't think he's as athletic as Chris Williams and that'll hurt the run game since Williams was doing a fantastic job (the Clay Matthews disaster in Week 3 aside) of getting around the edge.

You should probably just rename your blog "Chug Chris Williams' Dong" at this point.

QuoteA body pulled from a Wisconsin river has been identified as the son of Green Bay Packers' offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, police said Tuesday.

Michael Philbin, 21, went missing early Sunday while in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to visit friends, police said.

No cause of death has been determined, and an autopsy was set for Tuesday, Oshkosh Police Chief Scott Greuel said at a news conference.

In the end I was for the Giants because I want to see them get served by the Patriots in retaliation for their inexplicable victory in the last matchup - which pissed me off mainly because the '72 Dolphins remained relevant. I'm going to be in Indy for the Super Bowl and the Manning facefuckery and Patriots hate will get me back in the mood to rock a hoodie with sleeves cut and scowl at everyone I meet.

As CT wisely pointed out 4 years ago--and changed my mind in doing so--the Patriots finishing a championship season undefeated and untied may have gone a long way toward shutting up those asshats from Miami. However, in doing so, that would merely kick off another several decades of NEW self-important asshattery from a possibly MORE insufferable bunch.  The '72 Dolphins, after all, will soon all be dead anyway, so I'm fine with those guys hanging on to the record for now, because it means I won't have to brace for 40 more years of Tedy Bruschi and Wes Welker popping bubbly and slapping themsleves on the back every time some subsequent team lost their first game of the season after Halloween.

Yeah, Massholes are as bad as it gets without having That to hang their hat on. They can say "GREATEST TEAM EVAH" about any of their three titles and people will say "no, not even close." That's what we've got. Dolphins fans are easy to disable considering very few of the ones I deal with have any real connection to the 72 dolphins and their franchise has been total horseshit for the last decade. LET THEM KEEP IT. Plus you can always asterisk the 72 Dolphins by pointing out the 14 game schedule and the .328 opponent winning %. The 2007 Patriots would have been damn near ironclad.

I had a hard time rooting for either SF or NYG yesterday. I kept forgetting who I wanted to win and why. In the end I was for the Giants because I want to see them get served by the Patriots in retaliation for their inexplicable victory in the last matchup - which pissed me off mainly because the '72 Dolphins remained relevant. I'm going to be in Indy for the Super Bowl and the Manning facefuckery and Patriots hate will get me back in the mood to rock a hoodie with sleeves cut and scowl at everyone I meet. My grudges run deep.

As CT wisely pointed out 4 years ago--and changed my mind in doing so--the Patriots finishing a championship season undefeated and untied may have gone a long way toward shutting up those asshats from Miami. However, in doing so, that would merely kick off another several decades of NEW self-important asshattery from a possibly MORE insufferable bunch.  The '72 Dolphins, after all, will soon all be dead anyway, so I'm fine with those guys hanging on to the record for now, because it means I won't have to brace for 40 more years of Tedy Bruschi and Wes Welker popping bubbly and slapping themsleves on the back every time some subsequent team lost their first game of the season after Halloween.

Yeah, Massholes are as bad as it gets without having That to hang their hat on. They can say "GREATEST TEAM EVAH" about any of their three titles and people will say "no, not even close." That's what we've got.

Have we even been treated to a '72 Dolphins champagne toast on ESPN since 2008?

I certainly don't recall a single mention of Mercury Morris crossing my mental transom after Green Bay fell in KC this season. Maybe it's just because I don't maintain rapt attention to ESPN much these days myself, but I feel like even the braintrust in Bristol have stopped giving shit about that those fading stars.

And that would indeed make Super Bowl XLII win-win.

Well... Maybe win-win-lose.

Because fuck the Giants.

They're a close second, which puts them in the shirtless team pic for most insufferable fans worldwide. And yes, I do recognize Bears fans' robust appearance on the periphery of said pic.

*On a barely-related note, I watched the Knicks/Denver game on NBA TV the other night with the Knicks feed. I had forgotten how much I love Clyde Frazier. He rips that team to shreds nightly and it's totally deserved and hilarious. Walt's the best there is in my opinion. And Carmelo Anthony is the worst great basketball player I've ever seen.

But you have to admit that "Indianapolis" is a fascinating name for a city in Indiana.  On the other hand, if memory serves me correctly, "Chicago" has something to do with the smell of onions.

It does come down to a dislike of all other NFC teams without Purdue quarterbacks. That and a lot of unresolved asshurt over something something. I have absolutely nothing against the Patriots and I really respect the way they've been able to remain dominant in an era that has seen almost every other team rise and fall on an annual basis. It's remarkable and it's on the level, as far as I can gather.

If only there were some way to know what the down and distance were besides looking at the scoreboard. And yeah, it makes perfect sense for a home team to try to gain an advantage by giving its opponent and extra down during a series. That is some bitch-made shit right there. Kicking consultant? Consult on how not to miss a kick by 20 yards.

And ask yourself: "Who you crappin?"

I get that the Giants don't exactly inspire a ton of positive reaction from the masses, but seriously, people are rooting for the Patriots?

Is this just an NFC vs. AFC thing?  

Because fuck the Patriots sideways.



It does come down to a dislike of all other NFC teams without Purdue quarterbacks. That and a lot of unresolved asshurt over something something. I have absolutely nothing against the Patriots and I really respect the way they've been able to remain dominant in an era that has seen almost every other team rise and fall on an annual basis. It's remarkable and it's on the level, as far as I can gather. That said, if Belechick were the coach of the Washington Redskins or something I'd hate him with fire of a thousand Matt Murton pubic mounds.

It's like Yankee hate. What did the Yankees ever do to me, a Cubs fan? Show me on the doll where the Yankees touched you.

If only there were some way to know what the down and distance were besides looking at the scoreboard. And yeah, it makes perfect sense for a home team to try to gain an advantage by giving its opponent and extra down during a series. That is some bitch-made shit right there. Kicking consultant? Consult on how not to miss a kick by 20 yards.

And ask yourself: "Who you crappin?"

Or the Ravens could have just called the time-out they had left.

That it some of the weakest shit I've ever seen.  What a douche.  Holy shit.

The San Francisco Chronicle is pushing to get the 49ers to go after DeSean Jackson, and to dump Michael Crabtree (duh!).  In the article I learned why at the start of games Jackson gives his alma mater as Long Beach Polytechnic High School instead of Cal.  Apparently before the draft the Cal coaches were honest in their appraisal of Jackson's selfishness.  His nickname among his teammates was "MeSean".   That embittered him towards Cal so he doesn't want to honor them with a mention.  It sounds like his welcome in Philadelphia is wearing thin, so the San Francisco media is looking for a new wide receiver to take the throws of world class QB Alex Smith.  Apparently the Niners are also interested in a new kick returner, though I can't imagine why.

Clearly this year, Desean has worked very hard to prove he's not selfish.

Thank you CT, for keeping it relevant.

Long Beach Poly is also the alma mater of Snoop Dogg, Cameron Diaz, Milton Bradley and ExPex II. Some hits and misses in there, but famous alums abound. And Asian broads by the assload.

I can't take the credit.  I think that I read it a couple of years ago.  But thanks anyway.
