  1. I was trying to think of what nonsensical thing you would be up to that you couldn't watch the game but could follow this website when I remembered the games may be blacked out this weekend. That would be great. Serves the league right for letting the Packers win. Wait, why are playoff games being blacked out? All but Philly haven't sold out their games.
  2. Really? Because when he first started talking on the subject one of the main talking points was that he was going to get himself blackballed. Why would you find this to be unlikely? I'm not saying I buy it completely, but it's as likely as any other story. NFL teams aren't all about results, they harp on things like distractions all the time.
  3. Did he's get like $8m in guarantees in 2011? Wouldn't that partially offset the savings from just his salary? http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/chicago-bears/earl-bennett/ He got almost all of it in 2011 so there's no dead money. They made almost his entire cap hit on the 2011 season? That seems odd.

  5. Definitely liking that Wilson is partof that group. Certainly sounds like Earl Bennett is not going to be back. Ha, didn't think of it that way. Doesn't look good for him, I guess. Emery and Trestman did praise Earl's performance by name. He can probably come back with a reduced salary.
  6. http://deadspin.com/i-was-an-nfl-player-until-i-was-fired-by-two-cowards-an-1493208214/@johncook I think Chris Kluwe might be done playing in the NFL.
  7. I think the NFL has made it's product worse by having fewer mandatory offseason workouts/activites. I think things like this could be extremely helpful. With as potent as the offensive systems have been, I can't agree with your theory on this.
  8. You definitely need as much money as possible if you want to fill a lot of wholes.
  9. I switched to CSNChicago just to see how beautiful Jay looked with video.
  10. Now Telander goes from asking Emery about Jay's diabetes to asking Jay about how marriage and fatherhood affected his leadership on the field. His column is bound to be a doozy.

  12. Feeling and fleeing is completely different from feeling and stepping up or to the side. It is not the same.
  13. I believe they will draft somebody mid-draft and then sign a vet or two to compete over the summer for a chance to back-up.
  14. Jay is looking good.
  15. Jay Cutler is not Mark Prior. There is no point getting hung up on the health issue. But you will never by 100% sure about the health of any NFL player. He's played 15 or 16 games in five of the seven seasons he has been a starter. And let's not forget that despite what the horrible announcers said on Sunday, the offensive line was still not good this year. They weren't as bad as they've been, but they were not good. They can do a much better job of keeping him healthy.
  16. Zaidman too afraid to tweet the word, "wuss".
  17. For one, the point is that you are set at QB and don't have to consider overdrafting a QB early this year because of the instability. Cutler has not missed that much time before. Why is this an issue? He's missed a similar percentage as Rodgers. He's no different than other QBs with regards to health. The next point is completely pointless since the Cutler situation was so incredibly unique, and since we already have Cutler we wouldn't want to give up 2 first round picks for a new guy. And finally, "if the 2 sides know what is going on" means that Cutler's side knows the Bears want to wait until the last possible moment to sign him because they would love the opportunity to replace him, which is how the Bears got him in the first place. Cutler's side wasn't going to be happy with a situation where they were willing to sign a reasonable deal but the Bears wanted to wait because Drew Brees might break his neck and miraculously sign with the Bears 2 years later. Also, who are all these elite QBs you speak of that could theoretically wind up on the Bears? Eli? Flacco? Tom Brady at the end of his career? Peyton Manning doing it again? Stafford? Rivers? Who is it you are holding out for that will theoretically be available?
  18. I was trying to think of what nonsensical thing you would be up to that you couldn't watch the game but could follow this website when I remembered the games may be blacked out this weekend. That would be great. Serves the league right for letting the Packers win.
  19. I think it was Wilford Brimley It was Telander, not Morrisey. Yeah, it was Telander's face I was picturing with the voice but Morrissey's name that popped into my head.
  20. What's the point? If the deal is for $22m/year then sure, I want to wait to see more for that deal. But if the deal is well below the peak numbers out there, then waiting isn't going to help get that. Emery said it best when talking about the 100+ games under his belt. Jay isn't a 2nd year player, nor is he a 35 year old who had 4 good games this year. He's got a resume that deserves the contract.
  21. Whoa. Is that Rick Morrisey calling out Jay for having diabetes? Or was it Telander?
  22. One thing somewhat ignored was the implicit statement to McCown, "Sure, go ahead and find a big contract on the open market." They know his success was completely about time and place. If somebody wants to pay him, let them do it.
