Urlacher taking his pants off wasn't enough for you? http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20070130/capt.mds11701301621.super_bowl_football_mds117.jpg

I made a decision not to post either of those pictures (Brown put on his headphones after he got a little emotional). Way to screw it all up.

It probably feels good for a lot of the reserve players because this may be the first time in their pro career that they've actually talked to reporters.

An opening 67 yard TD drive ending in a 6 yard completion to Desmond Clark in the endzone.

ChicagoBears.com seems to have a decent number of videos from this week up, but I haven't been able to check them out yet. http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20070130/capt.mds31001301701.super_bowl_football_mds310.jpg http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20070130/capt.mds33101301652.super_bowl_football_mds331.jpg http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20070130/capt.mds32901301651.super_bowl_football_mds329.jpg http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20070130/capt.mds12301301650.super_bowl_football_mds123.jpg http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20070130/capt.mds32801301648.super_bowl_football_mds328.jpg Chicago Bears Jamar Williams (52) dances with television reporter Inez Gomez Mont during Media Day at Dolphin Stadium in Miami on Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2007.

You nearly caused me to laugh rather loudly at work. Poor Kyle, though.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2007-01/27648693.jpg Apparently Brown got a little emotional today when asked about how it felt not to be able to play. http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2007-01/27648691.jpg http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2007-01/27648690.jpg http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2007-01/27648656.jpg http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2007-01/27648655.jpg http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2007-01/27646159.jpg

They don't even really have a medium. The 40 is closer to a small (although plenty long) and the 44 is a solid large.

The Bears helmets didn't fit on the lions in front of the Art Institute when they tried this morning because of how the cold temperatures effected the material, but they should look pretty sweet when they go up tomorrow: http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2007-01/27644681.jpg

Hmm, is someone turning 21 on that day or something? :wink:Coincidence. Slugger's Groundhog Day 2007 drinkathon started 3 years ago.

Bradley practiced and it seems like he should be good to go on Sunday. This whole Toub thing is a little odd, but I believe him when he says it's all made up. Sure hope he's back next season.

Just $500,000 additional possible in incentives!? What is going on here? One million over one year can only get the Cubs 40% of Henry Blanco.

What's a spring training?

yeah, if you call that one intentional, then every foul in that situation inside of 1:30 should be called intentional. The Stanford player was clearly past the UCLA player and he reached out for the jersey and made no attempt for the ball. That's an intentional foul. And either way, when you blow a 17 point lead, you don't really deserve to win the game. He just missed the ball by about the foot. He only made contact with the arm and then the jersey after going for the ball. It was a pretty bad call. There were certainly some head scratchers. Aside from the kick called against UCLA that only hit a Stanford player's butt, the biggest head scratcher was definitely the double foul against Mbah a Moute. You don't see that too often.

I saw some of the press conference. Now I know why they get paid so much money. It's to make up for all the brain cells that were killed off having to listen to the media's questions. Nothing but amazingly dull, repetitive, unoriginal, generic, meaningless, insulting, mind-numbing crap. I'm sure it'll make for great fluff pieces that will prevent there from being more valuable advertising space in the papers.

Sporting a sweet suit. http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2007-01/27614714.jpg

Wow, thats actually pretty lame. All he did was point back. Who really made a big deal about the taunting? Christ. I mean 5,000 to Reggie Bush is pocket change, but its still pretty ridiculous. If he had another year of eligibility, he'd be able to go back to college and make up that money in no time.

No. They don't. But their columns aren't meant to be read, so really that's your mistake.

I approve of the "Posey sucks" chant.

Too bad they couldn't close out the half. Great non-call at the end, by the way...

Beautiful reverse layup by Nocioni.

That was a lot of applause for the former Chicago prep star.
