Hey everyone. Been out of the picture for some time. Work banned this site (actually expected me to work!) and life just got busy so little time at home to chat. BUT the block at work seems to be off, and nice timing with the season set to begin. So a hello and shoutout to all my old Bear Buds.

OK folks, we have 8 teams and need 4 more. I've sent multiple emails to the 4 that aren't returning so now I'm opening it up. I've set the draft for Sat 9/3 3:00pm CST. That can still be changed if it doesn't work for too many folks. Here's the poop: League ID#: 266346 League Name: TalkBears2 Password: gbsux Custom League URL: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/talkbears2 PLEASE don't merge this thread with the other one or nobody will ever see it. Thanks

They are reporting sources say Chester Taylor is gone. This was just reported on the Waddle and Silvy show and I'm waiting for an update from Jeff Dickerson who covers the Bears for this station.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...nee-will-be-ok/ Desmond Clark says his knee will be OK APWhen Bears tight end Desmond Clark was carted off the field Saturday night with a knee injury, it looked potentially serious. But Clark says he’s just fine. Clark wrote on Twitter that he doesn’t expect to miss much time. “Took quite a shot out there but feeling confident I’ll be ok and back on the field soon,” Clark wrote. Although he appeared to be hurt on the field, Clark walked out of the locker room without crutches and seems to have dodged a bullet.

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...ars-about-raise Pardon my french but F**k off Lance. While I'm not on to say you signed your deal stick to your word (the teams don't) theres 3 years left on his deal & if anyone gets sorted after Forte it sure as hell better be Bennett

Ok Been speculating on who goes and who stays. I attached my final word document for all you to look at play with. But notables that are out is C Taylor, Marcus Harrison, Harvey Unga. As for FA signed most notable will be Andy Fantuz. Play with it and give your ideas on stays and who goes. Well deleted the file it seems to have errors. I will upload a newby here shortly Untitled_12.doc

Just some random thoughts on the game - Cutler again looked comfortable and his mechanics and decision making was good only really rushed one throw, and the pick was not his fault. I've been pretty pleased with Jay's performance thus far. - Roy Williams... the pick was your fault 100% the ball hit you in the hands and was picked off A couple nice catches but you have got to catch the ball in traffic and especially if it hits you in the hands. - I'm a little concerned about Gould's inconsistency this preseason, not sure how much of this is Maynard no longer being the holder but this has to get tightened up. It was nice to see him come back and hit on the …

Looking at the 3rd pre-season game, there are a few things I expect to see. 1) The defense may continue to play vanilla, but should show the intensity we have seen lacking. 2) Better run/pass ratio from the O. 55 pass, 45 run. 3) Red zone package should be in effect to build confidence from last week. 4) The OL built a little confidence last week. I can see the coaches testing them a little more this week to help them grow. May put our QB's in an uncomfortable spot. 5) Guys are getting ready to get cut. I expect some hard work on special teams, giving a far greater result. Year two of the Martz offense, we should see vast improvement from last y…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbUKl0R1aoY How do you feel about the taxpayers flipping the bill every time the Organization wants new sod laid on the field? Shouldn't Forte get his money before you run him up the gut? J'Webb's Natural position. These are the things I rant about in this video. Please voice your opinion here and tell me what you think.

Well here we are, the big trial, Preseason game 3, where the starters play the longest. Roy Williams...catch footballs when they're thrown your way. Offensive Line...Jay Cutler is not to be touched. Secondary...Tackle better. Everyone else...Stay Healthy!

http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...sod-time-season I'm not sure how many times we have gotten new sod, but as long as the Chicago Park District owns Soldier Field and allows other non-sporting events to take place there, it's useless as tits on a fish. The field has been in shit condition since they took the astroturf away. Ridliculous amount of money paid for sod. Paying for the synthetic would pay for it self after 2 go arounds with replacing the sod.

Was checking out another website and caught a glimpse of an interesting topic of discussion. With the possibility of C. Johnson (Tennessee) entering the trade market, should the Bears consider loooking at it with Forte as their "bait"? My vote is NO as I am a fan of Forte's and like his long term value. I see Johnson similar to A. Peterson (Vikings one) where he is a different style runner that will probably hit a wall soon. I don't see Peterson lasting a lot longer...at his pace. Forte on the other hand has not only been, injury free, but improved himself this year physically. And he has other intangibles (receiver out of the backfield) that are good to have.…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...e-starting-job/ http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...arting-job.html Well this is a surprise. ( Not really)

Truely blows my mind how Bears Staff can continue this garbage-fest. MCkinney immediately named starting LT for Ravens. Argueably on of the top OLINes in league even before this. And yet here bears are two years in a row with scrubs who they "like". im still not one to suggest signing every FA. But glaring holes exist and talent is available to fill it.. Not to mention Roy Williams (well i just did). "We feel good about Jmarcus and Frank Omiyale is our fallback....by god"

If that's the test, they passed. I'm not saying they were perfect, not even good enough yet, but compared to just a week ago they were a lot better.

--well the line looks a little better, but that aint saying much --I get that its a practice game so I wont jump all over martz' ass cause he might want to get a look at things on film, but if he is still calling a 2 to 1 pass to run ratio when the season starts, he needs to be held accountable. --The defense looks like they have no energy. The outside linebackers have not held leverage all night and look like crap. --They should just shoot chester taylor now. -- Roy Williams is a joke. I hate that guy already. What an insult to the rest of the team, come in out of shape and drops the damn ball. --WTF is up with the special teams. The c…
