Sorta unrelated to your question but still Bears..... So now that Devin is gone, who changes the banner for the site? I think Brian (?) was asking about this a year or so ago but nothing happened. My thought at the time would be to do something 'old school' with pics of historic players; Butkus, GSH, Payton, Sayers, Luckman...etc

Before you know it we'll be watching holograms running around the field that really doesn't exist.....wait a minute, don't we already do that? Madden figured it out years ago.

Why are you asking? Just out of curiosity?

I chose "other". I prefer to 'view' it with my eyes. But I think Outline is the format I read it in...or is it? I can't tell the advantage of one over the other. Isn't outline the 'default' setting?

I think Dallas is much more desperate than Chicago at this point especially after inexplicably releasing Ware. Bringing Melton in adds a little luster (former pro-bowler, younger and local) to an otherwise ticked off fan base. I personally don't think he'll last all that long with his knee. I wish the best for him. * EDIT: Jared Allen anyone?

Izzy was one of those reliable players whose motor was always running. I agree that he was misused in Detroit and will be a big add in more than just his position. Will contribute heavily to the veteran leadership as this defense works on its new identity. If for nothing else he's a 'good guy' Here he is coming out of the "Polar Plunge" for Special Olympics recently held in Chicago. Also pictured is Jimmy Fallon (right).

My opinion, for what its worth, no. This appears to be more a civil issue now and from what others have pointed out there are many others out there with felonious backgrounds that have been signed and get re-signed regardless. The fact that this incident appears to have gone straight to civil court means that the authority that was going to prosecute chose not to. And since both Melton's camp and the bar's side have counter-sued one another probably doesn't mean a hill of beans when it comes to negotiations. I think what does matter is his knee injury and his expectation for more money. But that's just me speaking.

And a trusted player for Jay (from their Vandy days).

Agreed. I have a suspicion his knee is still an issue.

Apparently he's back home in Dallas with no deal from Seattle. But "several teams" are interested and he may not make the scheduled meeting with Dallas tomorrow. *I like (and agree) with the comments from the third guy down in the comments section (minus the bar part). http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/2014/03/...ral-teams.html/

They did make the comparison of doing this when they signed Chalres Woodson. Problem is Woodson and Peppers are not the same person nor played the same position. Talk about "apples to oranges".

Two things I noticed, they only commented on the two DE signings for Chicago. And the third favorite listed moves were made by Lovie in TB.

Well if the oline is as great as it was last year it's a moot point.

Wow, talk about OLD school! I appreciate the nostalgia connections and am glad that Peanut was able to come back. Since Chicago has a long and rich history of defense and last year was so long ago (prophetically speaking) I found myself uncomfortable at the thought of losing a player like Tillman. He's one of the last from recent history that defines that culture. Hopefully this will be the year for his Super Bowl win and decision to retire a Bear or make another attempt at a repeat championship run.

Revis signed with NE. Does this mean Peanut will become a Buc?

Does that mean I have to pay $100 if I "lose" ( which I won't)? The way I look at it it's a win/ win. Since I like Lovie he could do well and I'd be happy for him, at the expense of the bears. Or he could lose and the Bears will do well. But in the end a good cause (Walter Payton's foundation) gets a boost. It's all good. How does the British pound translate to the American dollar? Probably better exchange rate. Or do you guys use the Euro?

Now you see why I was confused? (10 vs 9) Man we're a mess...

See I told you I wouldn't remember come 10 years from now ... Let alone a month later.

As Jimmy Fallon would say: #loversquarrel#. Lolololololololol

I'm right there with you on the "weird" feeling. I commented on that very thing yesterday and it does feel very disconcerting. The wager was between MadLith and I that in 10 years (?) either Lovie (me) or Trestman (Mad) would have a better record (or something like that). And the loser would pay $50 towards the Walter Payton Cancer Society. I feel pretty confident.

I feel the sexual tension rising again. "LOL".

For the record I did indirectly address part of the problem of the D as being partial responsibility of Tucker. I'm not yet convinced that he's the answer. How do you explain the ability of offensive rookies like Long, Mills, Wilson (to an extent) and Jeffery (year previous) all being able to contribute right away where one in how many defensive rookies is able to do anything? Either Emery is better at evaluating offensive talent or his coordinators are . I know it's convenient (or popular) to blame Lovie and his crew for all what ills the team but in his time as HC he did manage to achieve a winning record. So far Trestman has produced .500. I know there's still plenty to go so I hold judgement on him (Treatman). Emery is the man putting the pieces in play and so far he seems to be doing a crap job in putting the defense together.

Fair enough. We shall see. I won't agree with him not being a "good fit" but for what the team needs in defense they can't afford a "luxury " like Smith. But wouldn't it be cool? P.S. I think you're spot on right about AJ being MegatroFitzJohnson like.

Or maybe Briggs? He's been known to be "vocal". On this overvalue comment in regards to Lovie... Would you like in on this friendly wager I have with Mad Lith? Lol!
