http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,4882964.story First they say they are content to fill their MLB void via their current roster now they consider luring a retired MLB back to the game. Nothing serious here in terms of negotiations but I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas reached out to Urlacher's agent.

Allright....back to the Bears! Who is everyone's favourite Bear within the current team? I would go for Tillman probably myself. I am waiting for a Bears safety to come out again, like Plank, Brown, Parrish, or Fenczik (spelling? SCS, can you help?) But my favourite of all time......hmmm. I have to go with Wilber Marshall.....what a linebacker he was!

With Dallas losing Sean Lee for the season I'm wondering if anyone would consider trading Briggs to Dallas? There are no rumors so this is purely my fantasy league. We are dealing with Jerry Jones who is known for his desperation moves and Briggs is a natural fit into Dallas' defense. Right now there is no way I'd do it solely because I think we can compete at a high level in the playoffs and there is too much risk in all the young players. However, if SMC and Bostic are looking good (I'll assume DJ Williams is "good") and the coaches think guys like Greene and Christian Jones will be decent backups then I'm open to it. We can't know that now, or rather the coa…

The initial Yahoo Fantasy Rankings is out. Here is how our favorite team fared: QB - Cutler - 14th RB - Forte - 6th WR - Marshall - 5th, Jeffery - 7th, Wilson - 86th TE - Bennett - 12th K - Gould - 11th DEF - CHI - 13th http://sports.yahoo.com/news/2014-fantasy-...-204748821.html To me, Cutler is a little low, I feel he should be from 8-12, Gould is low with this offense, easily top 10, and defense is probably a little high based on last year. Overall though, if they end up with these number, we have a really solid team.

Come on back boys, we have a great year coming up and your views will be missed.

Here are some interesting nuggets out of today's note: Jennings going to Nickel on passing downs: Williams looking good: Can our receiving corps get any better: SMC: Bostic: All that time on South Beach is paying off: http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...from-bears-otas http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/05/27/hog...-as-nickelback/

And if any of you served, thank you.

Anybody listen to the Ray Rice comments on his incident with his (now) wife. He talks about his lessons in life and about becoming a better person. He knocks out his wife on tape and drags her out of the elevator and down the hall. Here is the article refering to his press conference. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football...ticle-1.1803771 What a douche (one of Alask's favorite words). No matter what players do on the field, we are defined by our actions in life.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/...g-into-his-30s/ Brandon Marshall sees Jerry Rice as a model for playing into his 30s Posted by Michael David Smith on May 23, 2014, 9:37 AM EDT Jerry Rice AP Brandon Marshall, the Bears’ 30-year-old receiver, just signed a contract that keeps him in Chicago for four more seasons. Marshall says he already has a model for the way a receiver can stay on top into his 30s. Marshall noted at his press conference announcing his new contract that Jerry Rice showed that players in their early to mid-30s can continue to play at a high level. Rice led the NFL in receiving yards for three straight seasons at ages 31, 3…

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap200000035...-nfl-offseasons Bucs #1, Bears #2, Broncos #3, Jags #4, Cardinals #5 Seems reasonably. Hard to see us not improving from last year, so that over on 8 wins looks like a really good bet.

J'Marcus Webb got another contract!!!! HA! Sorry, it's a slow day here and there's nothing to talk about.

Hey guys I'm going to be on vacation during this week and brought idea of going half joking up with the wife. Surprisingly enough she likes the idea. It would be 1st game my boys would be attending. So I'm asking if anyone has tickets or knows someone that wants to sell. Would be looking at either needing 2 or 4. 4 would be best as we could all attend as a family. Thx guys

Vegas has the over/under on Bears wins set at 8. I think I may actually have to throw down some cash on that. I think worst case it'd be a push at 8 wins. With all the talent they have now I'd be SHOCKED if this is a below .500 football team.

Alright so I'm kinda getting ahead of myself here, but I find looking at the 2015 season very intriguing.....Look at who we already have locked up... QB-Cutler/Fales RB-Forte/Carey WR-Marshall/Jeffery/Wilson TE-Bennett/(Onubun) LT-Bushrod LG-Slauson C- ? RG-Long RT-Mills DE-Allen/Houston/Young DT-Ratliff/Ego/Sutton LB-Bostic/SMC/Greene/(Jones) CB-Jennings/Fuller/Frey SS- Mundy FS- Vereen They have all of that AND about 30M in cap space. Hypothetically speaking if Bostic takes a step forward, SMC proves to be a solid LB, Greene shows the talent I saw in him in college, Vereen takes the starting FS job and runs with it, and …

Dude just signed a 3 yr $30M extension live on the view this morning

First I heard this on a Brad Biggs tweet that last summer the Bears declined an offer to trade for Shea McClellin to the Texans.New Bears LB coach was with the Texans and is familiar with Shea. Wonder what the offer was.

With all the new bodies on the club, I am curious who everybody thinks will have a breakout year that was already on the team. My choice will be Cris Williams-We are in dire need of a new return man and I think he carries that torch. He has speed to burn, he will also contribute at WR as our 5th wideout. With all the new players, he will find a place to succeed.
