Bostic make me smile. 100% Chicago Bear Linebacker

I suppose until further notice,it's just talk. You never know what the backstory is...could be motivation.

Cool. Can you send a message through the league on where to mail the check? I can send via PayPal if you prefer that...

How much is the buy-in again? I'm ready to take care of business! I can't recall if I have any credits...

It's been silent on the board, but I did get an invite through Yahoo. He goes by The Bunny in the league. He has been looking for Devil Dogs, are you Devil Dogs?

I would love to purchase 2 tickets to the Dallas NMF game this season if anyone cannot attend the game. Just thowing it out there if anyone's lost their minds...

I think that just meant he was turning his Winnie the Pooh night lite off for the night...

Ha! Wonder if those are next to the stack of old Chmurra jerseys?

Didn't think Rich Gannon would ever amount to crap either...

Bingo!

It's out there. I got the invite. But nothing's been psoted to the board yet...

I won't get into how average or above average he's considered, as I understand the arguments. But, I think we're definitley on the same page that he was not mediocre.

Well done! But I'm sticking to my Butkus jersey!

As much as I had my issues with Smith, I think he was better than mediocre. I think he was average. What prowess he had on D, he lacked on O. The 85 D was simply superior no matter how much the latest era invested in it. The D line was superior with 2 HoF'ers, Mongo who was pro bowl, and Fridge and a rotation that complimented those 3 wonderfully. The LB corps were better. One could argue Url was better than Samurai, but Otis and Wilber were better than Briggs and Hunter. Tillman is probably better than the CB's...and when Mike Brown was healthy, he was as good/if not better than Fencik. But Fencik was rock steady and not injury prone. And with the front 7 the 85 team had, the DB's didn't need to all be amazing... I agree that he was not the right man for the job, but for a period, we owned D in the NFL...and that was because of Smith. We could have been stuck with worse. Average overall, but not mediocre. Maybe it's just semantics, but I always felt mediocre is less than average. Damn...never thought I'd be defending Smith!

Good post, Alaska. I know your persepctive well, and you've put a good summary there on your thoughts. I we've disagreed on the topic, but I you have always backed your position well.

It's not just us...it's all over the league. What worries me, is Wootten seems injury prone. Hopefully, this is minor.

Not sure I'd read too much into that. Bushrod should only be out for a bit. So the other guys replacing him are probably just placeholders at the moment.

Here's hopong he's OK and can contribute still. But, it does give the rooks some needed time... I hope they rise to the occassion.

I second that!

I understand your trepidation. But, I am not worried. The coahes will be putting the best guy out. I think they just want to give him a fair shake first.

Pretty much my same thoughts...

Good on Bushrod. Not worried about Peppy. Gladto hear Long is doing well. Great to see McClennin doing well. Sad that Webb is struggling... Not surprised though.

No surprise. They said he's be the first guy looked at at that slot. Let's see who is there at the first pre-season game... Lots of time still...
