Watching the game today and saw Clark sitting on the sideline. Noticed him sitting there before and wonder if anyone knows what has happened to him? I'm a fan as he used to be the "go-to" guy for a couple years and suddenly nothing. With listening to some here express their dissatisfaction with the acquisition of Manumanuluena surely Clark would seem to be better option. But I dunno...

http://www.chicitysports.com/2011/01/21/to...10-2011-season/ What do you guys think? Do you agree with this top 5? What is missing and what shouldn't be on the top 5?

What the hell do I do with my Sunday nights now?? Go to bed early?

http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2011/...-criticism.html Staff report Nearly a week after the Bears' heartbreaking loss to the Green Bay Packers, Pro-Bowl linebacker Brian Urlacher is still baffled by the criticism of quarterback Jay Cutler by current and former players. Urlacher, appearing Friday morning on the WMVP-AM 1000's "Waddle & Silvy Show," said the shots on Twitter from the likes of the Jacksonville Jaguars' Maurice Jones Drew "pissed" him off. "Anyone who knows Jay and has played with Jay and seen the hits he's taken…

They may have won the NFC and SB, but they still lost the division...truth, that makes them losers! And they fell short if the goal is beat the [rival], win the division, win the SB. So Lovie is not impressed. Now it's time for all their free agents to cash in and can go be overpaid to play on other teams. Detroit will finish with a higher record and we won't have to worry about almost beating them with our 3rd string QB. You know, just an unbiased commentary...

So this is old news, but hey it's the offseason. After the Vikings canned Childress they hired Bill Musgrave - the Falcons' QB coach - to be their offensive coordinator. I don't know how Musgrave is as an Xs and Os guy, but his track record developing QBs is seriously impressive. If history's any indicator, the Bears might have to watch out for the Vikings' QB (whoever it is) in 2011. Check out the QBs Musgrave has worked with: 1997 (Raiders) - got Jeff George to throw for over 3,900 yards, 29 TDs, 9 picks, 91.2 QB rating. 1999-2000 (Panthers) - got Steve Beuerlein to throw for over 4,400 yards, 36 TDs, 15 picks, 94.6 QB rating in 1999. Beuerlein made the Pr…

We will pick the 6 rounds. 3 points if we pick the right player in the right round. 2 points if we pick that player in any round. 1 point if we pick the right position in the round there picked. I am up for throwing in some money on that. As an example 1st round---------Liuget/DT/Ill 2nd round---------Watkins/OG/TCU 3rd round----------Burton/CB/Utah 4th round-----------Linnenkohl/OC/Ore 5th round-----------Lloyd/MLB/Conn 6th round-----------Johnson/FS/TCU

http://bearingthenews.com/?p=1131 Daring the NFL to Disappear Here’s a heaping load of truth brought to you courtesy of Dan McNeil, writing for the Chicago Tribune: “You don’t need the NFL. You only think you do.” “I’m daring the NFL to disappear.” So am I. I’m old enough to have been around for the last NFL labor stoppage. You know what happened? I found other things to do on Sunday afternoon. So did millions of others. And that’s what will happen if NFL games are lost due to a lockout. As much as I enjoy the NFL, I’m not too worried about missing it. In fact, I’m very ambivalent and I find myself growing more so every day as I con…

Maybe I'm in a minority here, but the longer this CBA dispute goes on, the more disinterested I'm becoming in the upcoming season. I'm sure I'll change my tune once a deal is in place and everything gears up. But in a casual poll among my NFL fan friends, we're all kind of liking and enjoying the time off from thinking about the NFL. This doesn't bode well for the league. I'm sure we'll all come back to it. But will we do so with as much passion as we've had for the last decade? I don't think so. I could be wrong, and we all fall off the cliff with the rest of the lemmings once it starts up. But, I really do think this time off has given us all far too much time t…

1. The Pats were said to be trading up to get Cameron Jordan . . . Jordan falls and they take Solder 2. If Bowers is there at #29, don't we have to take him? 3. I predict Seattle takes Mallett.

By Vaughn McClure, Chicago Tribune reporter 10:45 p.m. CDT, July 26, 2011 As of late Tuesday evening, the Bears had yet to agree to terms with free-agent linebacker Justin Durant. But a source close to the player believes the Bears remain in the picture. According to the source, the Bears inquired about Durant, last with the Jaguars, Tuesday morning. The Bears are looking for stability at the starting strong-side linebacker spot next to middle linebacker Brian Urlacher and weak-side linebacker Lance Briggs. Durant has been high on the Lions' radar, too. The 6-foot-1, 240-pound Durant started 42 games in four seasons with the Jaguars and has 230 caree…

Rumor on the ChicagoBears.com message boards is indicating that the Bears have agreed to terms with Brad Smith on a deal. Smith would act as a slot wideout and would provide the Bears with another special teams weapon. Additionally, he'd also provide an added threat out of the backfield in wildcat/trick plays.

This guy's name never goes away. Sources say he is in touch with the Bears.

Its good to see that Lovie hasn't lost his sense of humor during the lockout. He was just quoted saying "I feel like we have 5 receivers with #1 ability". Can we please ask him what drugs he's taking cuz I could really use some of those. They must be some really good and expensive stuff lol
