  1. I remember that first game last year vs the Chargers - what a defense. With Dusty, Brown, and Harris hopefully back healthy this defense could be really good. I hope Forte can chip block and catch a little swing pass, cause whoever is QB is going to be under a lot of pressure. I want to see more from Olsen this year. I hope he gained some strength, especially in his legs.
  2. I don't think that was a critique of the play on the field. As they said, the Bears were in the SB 2 years ago. The rankings the way I see them, are reflections on how each team is run "as a business" and in that aspect, the Bears fare poorly. Right, but are there any stats?
  3. There is nothing substantive in that critique. One owner "suspects"... Are there figures for how much profit a team makes? I don't think it is the ownerships fault that the Bears don't have a QB.
  4. Dan Bernstein says that they Bears needed to win in 2006 because their window for winning was pretty small. But when I look at the defense, almost all of them are signed for a number of years. If the offense can improve, this defense should be good for a while. We need a new thread because the offseason is no more!
  5. While Urlacher technically deserves more money, he would have gotten more if the hadn't had his rookie contract renegotiated. He is the only defensive player the Bears have had who they did this too. If he hadn't done this, his contract would be bigger now. But Urlacher wanted it both ways. It was pretty ridiculous for him to ask for a new contract coming off one of his worst years and sustaining injuries that could plague the rest of his career. I just hope the Bears' doctors checked him out well before doing this.
  6. I remember Lou saying that they can't keep this many pitchers for long. I really don't care to see DuBois up.
  7. Terrible offense, above average defense, above average special teams equals 8-8 record in my mind. Miss the playoffs by a game.
  8. Maybe he wants to win. Too late now. Contrary to popular belief, the Bears are not as bad as some think. The Bears still have their Super Bowl caliber defense intact. If the Offense is even remotely average, the Bears should and could challenge for best in the NFC. Yeah, I said it..... In Jerry Angelo's best voice on B/B, "NO." The offense won't be remotely average. Average line, bad QB, bad RB, bad receivers=bad offense.
  9. White Sox dog? Awful throw? Quentin should have been able to gun down Tejada at that distance. It's not like it was hit deep in the alley or at the warning track. He was able to set up for the throw even. It was average distance. Even a good outfielder throws a player out from there lie what, 5-10% of the time? Quentin is no dog. Kenny Williams got him for practically nothing. He is the best player on a first place team.
  10. Johnny Bench, Hank Aaron, Joe Morgan. Ron Santo had to be escorted away. Aaron is there.
  11. How do you say low 100s, as in 100-105? I can't think of it.
  12. What HOFers are still alive and couldn't make it besides Musial?
  13. Feller has always been known as a bit of a douchebag. Did have a cool windup though!! http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/7200/fellergifjb3.gif How fast did he throw? I heard stories that he got it up in the mid 100s.
  14. Favorite moment so far was when Whitey Ford was asked how he remembered the 1960 AS Game and he said he couldn't remember anything. He said, "How'd we do?"
  15. Maybe he wants to win. Too late now.
  16. If the Bulls match, they automatically get him back? Any word on the length of the contract?
  17. Even without Peyton, the Colts win big. Why'd he wait so long?
  18. If the Bears get him, I won't complain. What's one more mediocre running back?
  19. But I remember a certain evening last fall where the Cubs mounted a huge comback topped by Soriano's game-winning hit that was off Fuentes. Why did he ever throw Hill a slider when his bat is only slider speed?
  20. Now Mark is younger and better, but the last Brave player to ask that astounding of an amount of money was Andrew Jones and we all know how much he got
