Ha. It's all in good fun.

Dude, you've been pouting about this or that since you joined this board! You didn't like Jerry, now you don't like Emery. Bears business tactics make you cry. I get it. Now STFU.

LOL! Hey Emery, Jason says these guys are still good so you should negotiate. Jason who? Oh yeah, he's just some internet simpleton. Carry on.

I agree with your post. Just want to point out that Ditka did it with humor. When you have a little style it goes a long way.

http://www.csnchicago.com/bears/how-bears-...n-away-rest-nfl Literally glowing about how professional and trustworthy the Bears organization is. That's going to make Urlacher mad and cause Jason to have a sad little pout.

Get this through your thick skull... The Bears didn't want Hester back so using him as an example in comparison to Urlacher doesn't make sense. Apples and oranges. The Bears wanted Urlacher back but at a specific price. More than any other team in the NFL was willing to offer, in fact. But when his agent declined they knew from past experience that it was going to play out in the press and they'd ultimately lose or take a bath in a PR nightmare. They moved on quickly and it went over pretty well despite Urlacher's continued bitching. So what the Bears have done is handle things like professionals, not like Jason Dipshit. And it's up to Urlacher as to whether he wants to continue this feeble crybaby bullshit. It might make him a little money short term but he'll lose in the long run. I've already provided the ultimate example. The last thing Brian ought to be doing is taking advice from you, Jason. You're a ferkin' moron.

After their "leader" Urlacher set the tone it wouldn't surprise me if all aging former stars bitch like old ladies as they leave the city. Just another reason he had to go. His leadership was toxic to anyone outside his little circle. Oh, and Peanut is telling a different story so I guess he's different than your two examples. Both your examples, by the way, had lost tons of value just before being shown the door, much like #54.

Michael Jordan made a point of spitting on the Bulls on his way out of town. He was a much bigger star on a significantly less important franchise in Chicago. To this day he's not repaired that damage. Brian better start soon.

Problem is history shows he doesn't trade down for his reaches. He could likely get "his guy" and get something else to sweeten the pot. Long being the only exception to this as he'd have been gone before any later pick we may have gotten. This seems to be Emery's major "flaw".

He's a stupid SOB but a talent. Don't think we need him here given our WRs.

Which is why you acting like you know exactly what the Bears did in either case has made you look like a shithead all along. Glad you're finally coming around. Just because Url bitches like a scorned woman doesn't mean we're getting the truth out of him. And the FACT that literally nobody signed him is all anyone should need to know before they understood the Bears were in the right, although maybe not very nice. Hester still has value but he's one dimensional so not a fit for Trestman. End of story.

I agree but Allen is no spring chicken and we still have question marks about the defensive coaches overall. Not trying to rain on the parade but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here guys. We have to see how well these guys play together, scheme, etc. I'm happier than I was and Peppers had to go because of his contract but let's chill a bit. There's a lot of time to print Superbowl tickets after we see this D Line play a few snaps together.

Excellent job!!!

Ha! Heat? I'd say we're generally civil but I can ramp that bitch up to 11 with almost no effort. His ego is so HUGE that even the slightest tweak and he goes off like a Roman Candle!

I like the old school idea.

Correct on both points. Hester has a brain the size of a grapenut. His instincts carried him throughout his career but he was never, EVER, going to be a WR at this level. Still, even with a brain that size, he's a card carrying member of Mensa compared to Jason.

There ain't nothing humble about Jason. It's pretty clear the Bears already thought his value was diminished by the rule change already approved. If they had any knowledge that this might be coming, it makes even more sense. And his value is clearly no more than the vet minimum in that case. Hell, I can take a knee for $800k a year! But Jason always thinks he knows better. LOL!

Oops. As to Bennett, there's no way he's a $2 mil a year guy, period. Not glad to see him go but if he's not willing to deal then SEE YA!

Yep. He's one of my all time favorites. Class guy, great player and did something better than I've ever seen done before at his position, cause turnovers. His games against Moss and Megatron are legendary. Glad he's back and hope last years health problems are gone for good.

My question is this: Is Houston just our new Alex Brown? Not that there was anything horribly wrong with AB but he's not a guy who will ever be brought up as one of the best Bears DE's either. They need to pair him with a real pass rusher or they won't be getting the QB pressure they need to get. I guess that could be Shea's specialty...

No question, I'm happy for him because of most of what's been written here by others. With that said, I'm going to go ahead and predict he crashes and burns in Lovie's offense. Not wishing it on him, I think he's a great guy and hope I'm wrong. But I think he caught lightning in a bottle last year and they had the weapons and offense to "make" him. We'll see...

Well I think we saw how all these one year signings ended up last year. I think Emery thinks he can just plug and play on the D side of the ball. I sure hope this isn't a sign of things to come. The results last season were dismal.

Good one.

I wasn't a big fan.

Ain't nobody touching that contract! Not even Lovie. I'm sure this is a preliminary step to cutting him or renegotiating. Cutting being significantly more likely.
