I dont have a problem with the fans booing or with Urlachers response. The way I look at it he has given Chicago everything he has on the field for over a decade. Hes been a leader and nobody has ever accused him of never giving 100%. If the fans booing bothers him then he can express it however he likes. Hes sticking up for his teammates. Its not possible to differentiate between a boo meant for players, the coaches or even the front office so if the fans are booing when the players are on the field then its easy to see why a player would get defensive. In reality Im sure a lot of the fans are more upset with coaching and personnel moves than they are with the players. Id prefer to have a guy openly admit hes playing for himself and his teammates but leaves it all on the field than a guy who is friendly with fans but doesnt always give 100%

ok ya looks like we will need 1 more. PM whatever email you want to use. The one you have in the other league is hidden so I dont know what it is.

I just need keepers a few days before the draft

That draft date or time was just to create the league. For the league youre in we still havent picked a date. Im waiting for the last few owners to accept their invites. For TBK1 here is the draft order: 1. Da Grizzled 2. Domination Inc. 3. Nopper 4. Cali Bears 5. PapaBear 6. Crushers 7. The Mad Lithuanians 8. The Bunny 9. DevilDogs 10. TELLMARTZSAYF*CKHIM

Yes youd pick wherever he was slotted too. So that sounds right.

Just so everyone is clear here, brianbear is in a different/new league then the rest of the people posting in this thread. Well most of them at least. The draft order will be random because it will be the first year of the new league. We can use a random number generator if the people in the new league want to know when theyre gonna pick before the draft though.

Last year we went by reverse standings. If everyone wants we can go random though.

We use a site called leaguesafe.com. That way they hold the money and we send it to the winners right when the season is over and they get their money on a prepaid credit card. PM me your email address and Ill send you an invite. Im probably gonna create the league today.

150/75/25 I have 7 or 8 people interested now.

Ya the time isnt official, I just set it for something to create the league. I actually dont think Sept 1st will work for me anyway.

I dont see you as ever accepting the invite. Did you receive it? If not pm me your email address and I will invite you again.

TBK1 is $25 but I believe its full now. Ive been gauging interest on a second league and have about 5 people interested so far and I dont think Ill have a problem filling the rest of the teams. Id assume the cost of the 2nd league will be the same $25.

Ok sent another invite to Devildogs. Still waiting to hear from TELLMARTZ SAYF*CKHIM, Bluecollarbears, Da' Grizzled. Flea I believe you were bluecollarbears correct? Since I have to replace you.

Ill try to send you another invite

Thanks to Bradjock for sending me the reminder. I need to know if all the owners are planning on returning. Invites have been sent out so if anyone doesnt plan on returning please let me know so I can invite them. Start thinking about your keepers and draft date. I currently have it set up for Sunday Sept 2nd but we can change it to suit everyone. I plan on proposing a change in defensive scoring for us to vote on and Ill let everyone know when I come up with something and we can vote. Due to the interest Ive had from people wanting to join the league and not having room I am going to be starting another pay league through the site. The amount and rules will be determined once all the owners are selected so if youre interested shoot me a pm. People from the TBK1 will be allowed to join but only if there are spots left after people who arent in the first league. I already have at least 3 people, including myself, so the rest of the spots should fill up quick.

Team colors Navy Blue, Burnt Orange, White[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_bears

The Bears whole uniforms are one of the best in sports. I hope they dont change them at all.

I must have missed where Julius Peppers and Jared Allen were 3-4 defensive ends. Suh and Raji both are more realistic 3-4 ends then those two. If anything they'd be outside linebackers. Also, how does running a defense with 4 linebackers instead of 3 warrant Lance Briggs not being on the list? Hes been a probowler for like 7 consecutive seasons, including this one, yet he isnt good enough to be a top 4 linebacker in his own division? If you say its because he plays a 4-3 then how did Urlacher make it?

No Briggs, Suh or Raji. Sweet list

No I have no idea what kind of hand he had in drafting those guys. I also wouldnt mind Emery as the GM. I was more playing devils advocate.

So give Ruskell a pass because he wasnt making personnel decisions but give the credit to Emery for Ryan, Hall, Moeaki, Bowe, McCluster, White, Berry, etc even though he also wasnt making personnel decisions? Got it

Also, when Chris Williams and Lance Louis were our guards was the best our o line has looked in years. Its always great to upgrade/add depth to your o line but we currently have 4-5 guys who can play guard, 2 of whom looked pretty impressive at times last year, and then at tackle all we really have is the hopes that Carimi can be a contributor. I obviously would love to have Nicks on the team as a luxury and DeCastro could be a good player but our need on the o line is so much worse at tackle that it has to be addressed before we try to upgrade an already capable corps of guards, especially at LT.

The all pro guard on the Saints, not the WR

Sign a number 1 WR, doesnt have to be great but there will be a few number 1 wrs available. Then sign or draft an OT, CB or safety and then a dlineman. Ya its not that hard. Resigning or franchising Forte also takes little to no effort. Its a lot better then trading Briggs and trying to draft his replacement and then having a receiving corps of Bennett, Meacham and Eddie Royal.

Plus his acrobatics will have the Bears on Sportscenter every week.
