So they pay a No.2 running back 7 mil/yr but won't give Forte the 8 mil he wants?

This might be a CYA in case Forte isn't able to go or ain't worth a shit after his injury.

Wonder how much of this was out of fear of Forte sitting due to the franchise tag.

That would be stupid IMO.

Problem is Weems is not a WR. He's a #4 WR, at best. So I don't understand the signing, unless they plan to use him on ST. Or they think he's a better slot WR than say Bennett or Knox. We're stock full of mediocre WR, so this just added another - Knox, Bennett, Sanzenbacher.

Just seems like a waste of money, but what do I know. I'm not a GM.

sleuth posted : Lob city coming to Chicago! It'll be a safety net for Cutler when he gets scared. He loves throwing jump balls under pressure, but Marshall is tall and athletic enough to actually catch them.

Oh, and he can also run routes. He is probably one of the most gifted WR out there, unfortunately he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder last season. So much potential... hope this doesn't hinder him.

If memory serves - and it's gettin BAD - Long Chevy went down when it turned out that one of the managers was in debt to the Outfit and was - uh - leaking cars to them on a monthly basis to pay off the debt.

They were moving so many cars - lots of fleet sales too - that their inventory control was nonexistent and they ended up getting shut down by GMAC because by the time they discovered a bunch of cars were missing it was too late and they pulled the franchise.

I think.

Timmy was actually the Nephew of the old man and was only a slightly smaller prick than the head asshat.

We had fun picking on Timmah when he was down from Cheeseland to film the Ads.

Us native Elmhurstians are kinda funny that way.

Oh, and my family only has a Century headstart on the Longs in Elmhurst.

jsinaiko posted : It would be ironic and sort of poetic justice if he was hired by Oakland. The Bears have not been run in a professional way be the Halas family, and it would serve their butts right if he left.

This team has been held together by chewing gum and bailing wire for years now. Lovie is OK, but the rest of them can go piss up a rope, starting with Ted Phillips, who looks as oily and a person can.

He ought to be selling old Fords at Bert Weinman Ford or ZFrank. Or whatever that old Chevy dealership was where Timmy the newsboy got a pie in the face. Right, Long Chevy.

In their search for a new general manager, the Bears interviewed Giants director of college scouting Marc Ross Wednesday at Halas Hall.
Ross is the third candidate to interview with the Bears, following Patriots director of pro personnel Jason Licht on Monday and Chargers director of player personnel Jimmy Raye III on Tuesday.

Not really sure who any of these guys are but the Patriots have obviously built a great team, though there D could use some help. Giants haven't been all that great recently so meh. And the chargers? blech.

This is why I think Lovie is a good coach in spite of his extremely annoying public speaking style. He's done on smoke and mirrors for years now.

Anyhow, pitchers and catchers report soon, and there is a TON of basketball and hockey so who cares till September?

The basis for the great Bears teams of the mid and late 80s was the drafting of Jimbo Covert and Keith van Horne in the early 80s. With the additions of Tom Thayer and Hilgenberg they had a really good line which allowed McMahon et al to stay alive long enough to won one super bowl.
