Link Great article on Mike Brown.

In the link are two videos. In case you missed them yesterday. Both are either players just having fun or... (in the case of an historic return) "illegal celebration". You decide. Nice work fellas. http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/10/03...rces=topbuttons

I was reading Soxtalk's NFL thread and apparently Peter King is reporting that Mario Manningham is going to ask for $7m+ annually. So yeah, cross him off of the Bears list. Right?

This is not my dream draft but with all that I have read(I dont have a life) how I think the players will drop to us that we have on our board. 2-Bryd/FS/Ore I think we wanted Johnson and he is gone and the WRs we have rated high at this point are gone so we take a player on our board that fits this slot. Besides his dad is a ass. coach on the team. 3-Collie/WR/BYU The best receiver left in our second tier WR group that fits this valve at this spot. 4-Follett/OLB/Cal I see them as thinking this is a potenial upgrade at that position and fits the valve of the pick. 5a-Melton/DE/Tex They…

Heard on NFL Network that Bennett and Houston had "a little scuffle" during OTAs today. Video didn't show much but Bennett looked pretty ticked. Probably nothing but worth keeping note of. Kinda reminiscent of the "12th power ranking" discussion we just had here recently.

So I saw some blurb on NFL Network link (I'm not at home to verify) that the Saints are 'shopping several players including Jimmy Graham". WOW! And as I'm looking at the feed something popped up about the Saints and Seahawks are working a deal as we speak for Graham. NO I DO NOT ENDORSE ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM GOING AFTER GRAHAM!!!! Are there any defensive players worth perusing? EDIT: Wow this moved quick. According to Rappaport the deal is near done. Graham and a 4th to Seattle for Unger (Max I presume?) and a 1st.

Saw a story pop up on NFL.com from an analyst on Thursday night football suggested Chicago should make a trade for current Charger back Melvin Gordon. He made a compelling point about Gordon’s versatility (think similar to Forte and maybe older version of Montgomery). This guy seems to be alone in his thoughts on Gordon becoming a Bear (at least for now). In looking for some corroborating stories it appears there was some similar talk last July/August. Would it make sense financially to get a player like this? I could see the need solely at the position. If the Bears were intent on getting a new RB I’d personally like to see them go for a player like Kenyon Dra…

http://espn.go.com/chicago/columns/blog?po...;name=dickerson Bears tight end Greg Olsen paid a visit to ESPN's First Take on Friday and hit on several key topics -- the biggest being the team's depth at wide receiver. "I know there are a lot of names there that most people don't recognize, but I really believe that those guys are going to have a good season," Olsen said. "Obviously Devin [Hester], everyone knows about Devin and what he's been able to do. I think he's going to surprise some people. What he was able to do this off-season and the way he looked in OTA's and minicamp, I think he looks like a top-tier receiver. Some of those young guys, Earl [bennett]…

Bears | Linkenbach invited for pre-draft visit Comment (0) Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:52:53 -0800 Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Tribune, reports the Chicago Bears have a pre-draft visit scheduled with University of Cincinnati OT Jeff Linkenbach. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bears | Expected to take a look at R.

I've been an advocate for an all Alabama OL draft in the past, back when there was a very slight possibility of Warmack going later, but now that's impossible. The best we could do is Fluker in the 1st and Jones in the 2nd, which probably wouldn't make many happy because Fluker is being touted as a RT. Anyway, what if the Bears went heavy on Notre Dame talent? Suppose Te'o really craps the bed in his combine workout. What would you guys think about a situation where the Bears traded back and ended up getting: Tyler Eifert, Manti Te'o, and Braxston Cave I'm not sure how it would be completely possible, and the inattention to the OL would bug me, but i…

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 1m Release of Michael Bush clears $2.85 million in cash savings. Bears news is flying around everywhere right now. Title edit for your viewing pleasure.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Aug_...p&type=lgns and they have a short week playing Detroit on Thursday. I know we have our own issues, but that sucks for them.

Did not realize - check the bottom of this article: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...earnt01.article Peace

You cant fire Pace this year. Without a first round draft pick, you cannot entice a good GM to come here. We need to dig out of the Mack trade hole before someone else would hitch their star to this team, so Pace is almost certainly secure for one more year. And you cant really bring in a coach of any quality when your GM has one year left either. So Pace and Nagy stay, or Pace fires Nagy and promotes from within. Then, after next year, anything is possible. I'm so angry we are here. And there is a lot of blame to go around, but I think Nagy deserves the most, followed by Trubisky - and therefore Pace.

No shocker, but confirmed nonetheless. https://twitter.com/JenLada/status/574238157841039361

Happy 25th Anniversary!!! 25 years ago today, the Beloved Bear destroyed the New England Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX. I remember the game like it was yesterday. Unfortunately, I remember Sunday's game too.

You called it on Dak Prescott. He's looking outstanding this point. Good job. Peace
