The Chicago Bears shore up the oline by signing Jason Peters.

From Bears' Twitter: #Bears have placed RB Harvey Unga on injured reserve with a pulled hamstring. Looks like a "redshirt" season for him.

SportingNews thinks so.

I found this article on nbcsports.com an excellent read. I would have to agree totally with their assessment of our needs in the draft, although I'm also certain many of you would disagree. Ranking the Bears' Draft Needs No. 13 to No. 1

Chris Blewit waived I for one am breathing a sigh of relief that we won't open the season with a kicker named Blewit (not his fault), but the jokes write themselves. So now we're down to Frey and Pineiro. Ultimately what's most important is finding a long term solution at the kicker position. We can't continue having the kicker position cost us games.

For those of you who have not seen this one I laughed my ass off on the orton part lol. Then the favre part on top of it says it all. There is a ticker at the bottom of the screen during the favre part read it to see the offer the bengals made to Andre Smith. LOL! http://www.bangcartoon.com/2008/preseason_update.htm

Its official. LT has been released. Let the speculation continue. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4936783

Gents, I know we all feel this team has underachieved, but we can finish 10-6 and make the playoffs. Unless you are New England, that's a good thing! We are getting some guys back on O and D, so maybe we can make a run if the stars align. I've seen more improbable teams make it to the SuperBowl. Why not us? Time to Bear Down! We can draft and fire Lovie later...

Just realized that I need to figure out who my keeper will be for the upcoming season. Decisions, decisions. Here are my options and draft results from last year. To me it looks like my options are SF for a 6th, Flacco for an 11th, or Amendola for a 16th. Hernandez was my Keeper last year. I am leaning towards Amendola as he seems to have the most value at that slot. 2. Adrian Peterson (Min - RB) 3. Victor Cruz (NYG - WR) 4. Michael Turner (Atl - RB) 5. Reggie Bush (Det - RB) 6. Dwayne Bowe (KC - WR) 7. San Francisco (SF - DEF) 8. Pierre Garcon (Was - WR) 9. Shonn Greene (Ten - RB) 10. Nate Washington (Ten - WR) 11. Peyton Hillis (KC - RB…

Beyond popular belief the rest of the FAgency will be valve choices. We had the one big one, so now we find people at our price. We made offers to Peanut and Melton but they think can get more money out there, so they are letting it play out. Now there could be a Cleamons(S) or an Allen(DE) still there but they will be at our price. It is not fun when we(fans) dont get a bunch of players to goggle over,but they addressed the biggest need, and will wait to let the rest fall in place. Slauson, D.J., Anderson last year didnt excite us, but they filled needs and now Slauson is a staple on the OLine. D.J. is coming back to give us time to find a MLB, or maybe Bostic grow…

Bennett is back! That didn't take long.... Here is the story from the team website

I've been thinking about the team being built and the fact that the Bears could very well go BPA in many rounds. That got me to thinking what many of us have said... -This team needs a huge speed upgrade. -This team needs a huge athleticism upgrade. I'm not talking about character. I'm talking about crazy, freak athletes that fit our positions of need and also could be considered BPA. I may not even like the picks, but the results are interesting. 1. Darron Lee, OLB, OSU - 4.47 forty, 35" vert., 133" broad. He's a crazy athlete. 2. Keanu Neal, SS, Fla. - 4.59 forty, 38" vert., 132" broad. Great athlete, packs a huge punch at SS. 3. Derrick Henry, …

This was against the 49ers last year 32-7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...p;v=HxtqcPPM_3E

Now that we're off to a better start than most (I) expected, what do you think of the remaining schedule? @ Steelers @ Lions vs. Saints vs. Giants @ Redskins @ Packers vs. Lions vs. Ravens @ Rams @ Vikings vs. Cowboys @ Browns @ Eagles vs. Packers

Sports May 16, 2008 ATMLiesOxygenJulioSearchRoyalsSongENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Jay Cutler entered the cafeteria at the Denver Broncos' training facility Thursday afternoon, a notebook full of offensive alignments in one hand and a small, black zip-up pouch in the other. I was far more interested in the pouch: a kit containing a lancet device, blood-glucose meter and test strips – the tools for drawing blood from a fingertip and checking his blood sugars. After sitting down at a table, the strong-armed quarterback placed th…
