Pretty good article on Cutler in Chicago and Bear fans reaction to his first outing. ..worth the read.

[Reliving Greatness: 1985 Bears]

Look back at the 1985 Bears with a pretty sweet video, this definitely makes you feel good looking back at this.... it's worth the watch even if you aren't a Bears fan. They really did DOMINATE the NFL.

[Top 5 Bear Games to attend]

The top 5 Bear games to attend...what do you think of the list? Will you be attending any of these games?

[Chicago Bears in Madden 2010]

Here is a breakdown of the Chicago Bears in Madden 2010, includes ratings and some analysis on how to use the Bears in 2010. I look forward to actually using a QB that has accuracy as opposed to years in the past using Orton/Grossman. With Cutler + Forte + Hester + Olsen....this offense is going to be amazing.

 

http://www.chicitysports.com/2009/08/09/ch...in-madden-2010/

 

Zach Bowman is only a 53 ovr....I definitely see EA upgrading his ovr via roster update through out the season if he continues to play like he has been in the training camp.

 

Bears are going to be a legit team to use in Madden 2010 I think.

[Hester no longer returning kicks]

http://www.chicitysports.com/2009/08/07/he...centrate-on-wr/

 

Devin Hester isn't going to be returning kicks any longer (kicks) so he can concentrate on WR. How do you think that's going to turn out? He had 51 catches, 650 yards+, 3 TD's in his first season at WR with Orton. I expect him to do better with Cutler.

[Athletes and twitter]

http://www.chicitysports.com/2009/08/06/at...es-and-twitter/

 

Article on athletes and twitter. Some athletes have gotten in trouble for voicing things over twitter. It seems as if more and more of them are getting in trouble like noted in the article J.R. Smith and Antonio Cromartie being fined. What do you think about it? Should athletes be able to give unfiltered feedback on things? Or do they need to have regulations and things to consider before posting their "tweets".

[Cutler Brings Optimism..]

The problem was never talent for Bowman. It was a matter of staying healthy. Hopefully, he can continue to remain on the field. He can be a huge factor this year.

 

BTW- rush, it's time to change your sig a bit, don't you think?

 

Haven't got around to it but now I am! haha.

 

Bowman 4 life!

[Cutler Brings Optimism..]

http://www.chicitysports.com/2009/08/04/cu...rings-optimism/

 

Article on how Cutler has impacted the Bears so far. Looks at John Clayton's article where he gives the Bears a bunch of love. What do you think about think?

 

Also talks about training camp and how Zachary Bowman is going to be a beast!

[Caption Plaxico Burress Contest]

http://www.chicitysports.com/2009/08/04/we...aption-that-85/

 

caption contest...do one haha....hopefully somebody can bring the lulz.

 

We can get some good responses, it's of Plaxico Burress

['95 & '09: Kramer vs. Cutler]

http://chicitysports.com/2009/08/02/cutler...se-from-kramer/

 

Great find! I threw this up on the blog and looked at it a little.

[Derrick Rose's Tattoos]

http://chicitysports.com/2009/08/02/derrick-rose-tattoo-u/

 

Video showing Derrick Rose's tattoos. This is pretty interesting, but then again most NBA players nowadays are covered in tattoos. Having tattoos myself, some of these are pretty sick.

[Cutler to improve WR's]

http://chicitysports.com/2009/08/01/cutler-to-improve-wrs/

 

Article on Jay Cutler improving the WR's. What do you think of it? I think he'll improve them to a certain extent but some guys will really have to step it up.

[Madden 2010 Soundtrack released]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/224562-...dtrack-revealed

 

The soundtrack for Madden 10 is awesome. I have no idea how they got 2pac, Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Cypress Hill, Korn, Judas Priest, etc.

 

It's about time cuz all of the past soundtracks sucked lol.

[TJ Houshmanzadeh pissed off.....]

http://www.virtualsportsnetwork.com/houshmandzadeh-said-what

 

TJ Houshmanzadeh is upset about his madden rating. Do you think his complaining is warranted or does he need to stfu about it and just play?

[10 players who need to re-locate]

Smile.

 

The internet isn't that serious lol

[Chicago Bears 2009 Preview]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/212882-...rs-2009-preview

 

Preview on the Bears for 2009. I think we upgraded at every position except for WR I hope that Cutler and better offensive line can hopefully make up for the lack of a true #1 WR

[10 players who need to re-locate]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/212314-...ed-to-re-locate

 

Article on 10 Players in the NFL who could benefit from re-locating. Thoughts on the article....also what other players could benefit from a change of scenery in the NFL?

 

This is to get some good discussion going...what do you agree with...what do you disagree with?

[Should athletes speak out on issues?]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/209154-...ng-with-america

 

I read this article and itt got me thinking. It could generate some good discussion.

 

Should athletes speak out on touchy/political issues? Sure they can bring attention to the matter, but is it their place? Should we value their opinion?

 

Also should the USA be the big brother to all countries?

[10 Interesting Facts from the past NFL Season]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/208272-...8-09-nfl-season

 

Article on 10 interesting facts from the 08-09 NFL Season. I thought it was pretty crazy about the Flacco/Ryan and the Ryan Grant 1 million dollar incentive bonus one.

 

[Full Game of Madden 2010]

http://www.virtualsportsnetwork.com/madden...vens-full-game/

 

Full game of Madden 2010, it's the Alpha version so it's still a work in progress. But it looks very good, presentation is SUPERB I think. A whole lot better compared to last year where the presentation was "blah"

[DeAngelo Hall upset with EA over his madden rating]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/191846-...h-madden-rating

 

Hall is upset with his overall rating in Madden. Pretty funny if you ask me. You think he'll get back on top this season or will he fail and justify his low rating?

[How far will Hester's athleticism take him?]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/186224-...ticism-take-him

 

Article I wrote on Devin Hester and his role as a Wide Receiver. What are your thoughts? Do you think with time he can become a solid WR for the Bears? He definitely has shown progress considering he barely played WR in college outside of "reverses" and "gadget plays".

 

Feedback is appreciated

[From Orton to Cutler, transitioning from Mediocrity]

"The last quarterback to do that was Eric Kramer in 2006."

 

I'm guessing the year is wrong.

 

Thank you...I wrote it at 2am!

[New madden 2010 Video from ESPN]

www.virtualsportsnetwork.com/madden-10-pro-tak-developer-video

 

Video of the Madden 10 developers discussing the Pro-Tak technology. I can't wait to play Madden to see how it's implemented. Animations look a lot more realistic and better.
