Bravo! Thanks Pix.

Probably wouldn't do this trade. I just have to share... The guy with Manning in my league benched him last night! LOL

GBCW = Good Bye Cruel World PS. There's a pretty good football game on tonight.

Shortest GBCW ever.

Please note that the "concessions" Peppers has given thus far are in converting salary to bonus. This means he's gotten paid all of the money he was due in any given year. He therefore hasn't given up a thing, it's just an accounting entry that makes some of his money count against the Bears caps in the future. I'd expect the team to go to him and negotiate a new deal which takes into account his current contributions on the field this offseason. If they still see him as an A+ player, he'd get a deal that reflected that. If his skills have diminished, the new deal would reflect that. They'd have to tear up his current contract regardless, which would mean the $6 million hit will take place no matter what else comes about. But if they gave him a $10 million signing bonus and $2 million a year for a three year deal, his cap amount for 2014 would be the $6 million hit plus $5 million for his current deal. That would mean he'd still get $12 million in 2014 and the Bears would only have $11 million against the cap. Much lower than the current deal would cost in cap and real money. At least that's how I think it all works. LT2 is the best resource here for this type of thing, maybe he can confirm. And please note, the numbers I use above are all speculative. I have no idea what the real value of a DE at his age would be.

LOL! Good bye cruel world!!!

I know dude. But it was the third one and they got ass-mastered by the Lions. So there's that.

This sounds right and appears to have been confirmed by Emery during his online chat today. See below. QUESTION: Are you at all concerned with the possibility of two offensive tackles being injured during the season now that Jonathon Scott has been released? 12:16 Phil Emery: Jon Scott is a player that we like. Getting ready for the first opponent dictated the moves that we made. There's always a possiblity that Jon will return to the Bears.

Bears added back Derek Dennis to the practice squad this afternoon. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,4582906.story I still feel like there's gotta be something else brewing. Peppers restructured his contract today too, opening up some cap room.

Do you even realize how childish that sounds? OK, you know I defended a portion of your argument when I thought it had merit. That alone should give me some cred with you. Various folks attacked us both for suggesting that Lovie and Trestman weren't in cahoots regarding keeping Webb on despite better options. Obviously through that entire debacle I kept saying things like "Webb Sucks" but Jason still accused me of coming to his defense. So, I can see how that might have occurred with you as well. I have to be honest, I wasn't active on the board since last season ended up until the draft so I don't know what types of pissing matches you all had going over Webb. Didn't care then, don't care even more now. So, given that I might have a little cred with you, I ask you, please, pretty please, with sugar on top, be the bigger man, don't take the bait, and move the frick on!

So we intend on going into the season with only three backups in the line? Hmmmmm....

There must be something brewing. http://www.chicagobears.com/team/depth-chart.html And let's be honest, none of the backups right now could play LT at a high enough level.

LOL! Please let that happen!

I agree with top ten based on Brady, not the schedule. Playing a bunch of cupcakes doesn't make you an inherently good team, it inflates your record. And yes, unfortunately it might make it easier for you to get through the playoffs although I believe the cream tends to rise to the top, barring injuries that might occur in earlier playoff games, of course. To Boston, yes, I'm serious. The historical information you provide is irrelevant to this year. I just don't see them ranking that high but I guess we'll see. If they play in the AFC title game, I was clearly wrong. PS. I guess I still have this game on my mind... http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2013082200/2...s&tab=recap

Other threads were celebrating the release of a guy 98.9% of the board wanted gone. SCS continues to talk about himself. That's the difference. That's what makes his BS here so childish. If I were a moderator I'd now delete all of the Webb threads and I'd ban anyone starting up more shit about him. The day or two after his release it was Bear's related news. At this point it's trolling.

I'll be at home so it'll be subdued. The morning will start with a Bloody Mary to be certain. Something will end up on the grill. MadLith definitely gave me some ideas!

I guess that's my point. Pats may end up with a better record than many NFC teams but in term of ranking they don't belong. This should be a list of the best odds of winning it all and given all that's changed for the Pats I can't conceivably give them that rank. With that said, the same goes for all the changes on the Bears.

http://www.pro32.ap.org/poll Of course the Giants make it ahead of us. No East Coast bias there! How the HELL are the Patriots #5 on this list?

He apparently made their squad or he would've been released. I'm not defending the move, not cutting it down either. Just seems like the Boys were going to keep three, no?

Dude, get the F*CK OVER YOURSELF!!! I never thought I'd be so glad to see Jason back on the board but you've driven me to that place. How goddamn childish do you have to prove yourself? Do us all a favor, chill out with a joint or two, mellow for a week and then come back and we'll all pretend this shit never happened. JESUS H CHRIST!!!

This may not surprise some of you who were paying more attention. I find it amazing. A team that went 10-6 last year and we replaced 60% of the roster! I have no reason not to trust Emery at this point and regardless I admire his ability to put his stamp on the team this quickly. It looks like it's working but actual game results will tell us the real answer soon enough. I sure hope he knows what he's doing. (The 32/53 number came from Channel 2 sports at 6 tonight. I haven't confirmed.)

Thanks dude. I was pretty proud of myself on that one too.

Great WR's!

You forgot the progress Webb made when Cutler bitch-slapped him for sucking donkey cock. After that he only sucked donkey balls.

LOL! Me too. What a piece of $hit this thread turned into. SCS, you've got to get a thicker skin if you're going to hang in there with the menfolk. I tell my buddies to "F Off!" during sports discussions all the time. There's nothing personal going on here. ChickenLittleTwig is A-Okay in my book, so are you. We just enjoy a little smack talk when things are quiet. As someone else said above, I'd defend you over a Packers fan regardless of right/wrong. We're all Internet Brother here, you're just the youngest runt we have and you seem to enjoy getting slapped silly so relax and enjoy the ride.
