He apparently made their squad or he would've been released. I'm not defending the move, not cutting it down either. Just seems like the Boys were going to keep three, no?

Dude, get the F*CK OVER YOURSELF!!! I never thought I'd be so glad to see Jason back on the board but you've driven me to that place. How goddamn childish do you have to prove yourself? Do us all a favor, chill out with a joint or two, mellow for a week and then come back and we'll all pretend this shit never happened. JESUS H CHRIST!!!

This may not surprise some of you who were paying more attention. I find it amazing. A team that went 10-6 last year and we replaced 60% of the roster! I have no reason not to trust Emery at this point and regardless I admire his ability to put his stamp on the team this quickly. It looks like it's working but actual game results will tell us the real answer soon enough. I sure hope he knows what he's doing. (The 32/53 number came from Channel 2 sports at 6 tonight. I haven't confirmed.)

Thanks dude. I was pretty proud of myself on that one too.

Great WR's!

You forgot the progress Webb made when Cutler bitch-slapped him for sucking donkey cock. After that he only sucked donkey balls.

LOL! Me too. What a piece of $hit this thread turned into. SCS, you've got to get a thicker skin if you're going to hang in there with the menfolk. I tell my buddies to "F Off!" during sports discussions all the time. There's nothing personal going on here. ChickenLittleTwig is A-Okay in my book, so are you. We just enjoy a little smack talk when things are quiet. As someone else said above, I'd defend you over a Packers fan regardless of right/wrong. We're all Internet Brother here, you're just the youngest runt we have and you seem to enjoy getting slapped silly so relax and enjoy the ride.

Technically the title of the thread is "Things I THINK I Know" which is passive. And let's be honest, although you made some excellent points in you post, it's hard for any of us to really know much for sure. I know this, I'm excited to get this season underway so I can confirm some of the things I think I know.

How could Jesus let this happen?

LOL! Good to see you having a sense of humor about it. Frankly, even though I never agreed with you on Webb, I applauded your tenacity. It ain't easy having everyone come down on you about something and stick to your guns.

The Chicago Bears Sunday waived 14 players, including Devin Aromashodu and Tom Zbikowski. The roster now stands at 76 active players. Here are the players waived: Wide receiver Devin Aromashodu, running back Curtis Brinkley, defensive tackle Eric Foster, tackle A.J. Lindeman, center P.J. Lonergan, safety Derrick Martin, defensive end Kyle Moore, tight end Gabe Miller, tight end Leonard Pope, linebacker Patrick Trahan, punter Tress Way, linebacker Lawrence Wilson and safety Tom Zbikowski.

LOL!

No pick on the first pass. Better start.

Ha! I have an ex-wife myself. Girlfriends are better.

Actually I'm looking forward to a night of football, starting with the Packers Vs. Seahawks at 7 PM and then switching to the beloved. Not sure the girlfriend is going to be as happy with that plan as I am. This weekend's game is said to be the most telling. We should see at least a minimal game plan and a half of football from our starters, possibly more. I want to see Jay distribute the ball. The offense be more diverse in general with Forte getting some good work. The D to continue to hustle to the ball, get turnovers. McFadden is a good back when healthy. Let's see what he does against the Bears D. And you?

That would be my hope. In which case, Briggs should take him out for a steak dinner one night to compensate for his lost earnings.

Understood. But my point is he's getting fined for a game that doesn't count and he's forced to participate in and then they hit him with a fine of like 20 times what he's paid to play in that game. It's ridiculous. And on a hit that, while violent, sure looked legal to me.

I heard this morning (on Channel 5 news) his game checks for the preseason are $1,500. This just keeps getting worse.

Couldn't agree with you more and the rest of the responses here. I posted in the thread about Bostic's hit that I was worried they'd fine him. It's not clear if the two helmets hit together to me but I think the rule is that since he led with his shoulder the hit was legal, regardless. I hope he appeals it and wins. This is bullshit.

And he provides a good comfort level for Jay. I don't see him getting cut over a concussion.

Class move by Trestman.

Carimi seemed to have that mean streak too. I can't explain it. Bad luck. I think Williams was a known injury risk IIRC so that was Jerry's fault. No question. We'll know a little more Friday and even more halfway through the season. I'm hopeful though, which is better than the "resigned to having a shitty line" feeling I usually have this time of year.

Couldn't agree with your first statement more! I guess we'll never know exactly where the failing was in terms of who to blame more, Lovie or Angelo. I get the feeling Angelo always had linemen on his big board and when the Bears pick came around he looked up and said, "Well, it looks like the best player available is a defensive tackle. Lovie, thoughts?" And Lovie always just nodded in agreement. I did think Tice got the most out of his line talent. He was good at one thing, working with linemen. He sucked as an OC. But the talent pool there was really shallow because the position was constantly ignored. And when Angelo did get around to drafting a guy for the line, he'd almost always be a bust, often due to injuries. So it was refreshing to see them take a different route this year in the draft. We may have had a little concern (as a group) about Long up front but I think everyone was, at a minimum, happy they addressed a glaring need. Now it looks like they may have found a gem. Let's hope, anyway.

I was just joking with you dude. I actually don't smoke pot and really never have. But I do agree with you that it isn't any worse than alcohol and in some ways booze is worse.
