you are one very strange person... you should fit right in!

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=3612 JA doing his thing as usual. Once again, the first them to have all their picks signed. I am a big Buzz fan as well, and he will eventually take over for Ogun, and Buzz and Anderson will dominate the league

Don't mess with JA...

how much longer till the new skin?

Yeah, it is probably if Briggs signs and plays this season, the Bears won't put the franchise tag on him next season and let him be a free agent.

great news! Got two very good corners locked up for a long time! We can wait until next offseason to lock up Tommie long term, and we should wait until after this seaso if Bernard and Red are worth keeping as well.

I remember clearly that Ogun was holding out....

well, when we traded for Ogun, wasn't he in the same situation Briggs is in, or was he just looking for money and such like Branch?

well, the deadline is almost here. If Briggs decides to sit out for the first 10 games, I guarantee he won't play a down this year (at least in a Bears uni).

he always seems uncomfortable when he is talking to a large crowd. I think he, like many other americans, are afraid of publuic speaking... It's strange though, as he has no problem with running a kickoff return back for a TD in the superbowl.

someone is actually watching that ESPN filth?

For those of you who don't know, in the new madden, there are weapons for each type of player. The players on the bears with weapons are: Chicago Bears Overall 91 Player Position Weapons O. Kreutz Center Pass Blocker B. Urlacher MLB Smart Linebacker Brick Wall Defender R. Brown LG Pass Blocker M. Muhammad WR Hands A. Ogunleye LE Finesse Move D-Lineman R. Grossman QB Cannon Arm QB C. Tillman CB Press Coverage Corner L. Briggs ROLB Big Hitter Brick Wall Defender B. Berrian WR Speed T. Harris DT Finesse Move D-Lineman Power Move D-Lineman N. Vasher CB Smart Corner C. Harris SS Big Hitter R. Gould K Accurate Kicker D. Hester WR Speed The only things I would change is that Brian Urlacher should have every defensive weapon Seriously though, Chris Harris isn't a big hit safety and that should go to Mike Brown. And it has Ruben Brown as a pass blocker when he is one of the best run blockers in the game. John Tait should be on the list as a pass blocker. Also, Tommie Harris = unstoppable. Plus, Bears (91) are rated below three teams overall as well: Patriots (97), Chargers (95), and Colts (94). http://www.sportsgamer.com/content/928/mad...stteam-ratings/ Plus, can an admin or mod change the title of this thread to Madden and the Bears? or something like that?

Also, Calvin Johnson is going to be unstoppable in the game.

Greg Olsen TE - Chicago Bears Overall Speed Acceleration Aglity 79 86 86 84 http://www.sportsgamer.com/content/926/mad...-rookie-preview Not bad. 86 speed seems pretty right. After 2 or 3 years in Madden, he should be rated in the 90's overall.

Yeah, this girl really is using the whole "innocent" girl card. And the sad part is that some courts would/will give her what she wants, which is money. I read previously that Urlacher was sending "unappropiate" text messages calling her names, which wasn't realy smart by Urlacher. But hey, at least he is fighting to be able to be with his kid. He isn't like some scum bag athletes (Elijah Dukes) who just have children and never go out to see them and just pay the women child support. Plus, there's the women who purposley have children with athletes so they can get the child support. A lot of people sicken me. /endrant

So, when are we gonna be getting this new skin? This default one makes me want to punch my computer. We gotta get it before the start of Training Camp! What, less then a week away!?!?!?!

a little rough so far, but with some better images (which you guys said that you are working on) this could be a pretty damn good skin. I have no expertise in graphics, but I think a newer banner would go good with the new look as well. Not that there is anything wrong with the current one.

I really don't think the Saints will be the team they were last year. Yeah, they are good, but I really think Katrina just sparked that team unbelievably. Like their first home game, that was insane. I just don't think there will be that same spark this year. Also, I always think the superbowl teams should be 1 and 2 unless 1 team just really fucks up their offseason. So, I'd have my power rankings go something like: Colts, Bears, Patriots, Chargers, Ravens, Saints, Eagles... that's all I got for now. And how do you have a tie in the power rankings? If you have two teams tied, might as well have them all tied as training camp hasn't even begun yet.

the fast reply box needs some work great job guys!

I'd let him compete with Leak for the PS job...

this is very interesting... Per Rotoworld on July 6th: Also, Tommie Harris is said to be the no. 1 priority coming into camp and such for a contract extension. Per Rotoworld:

Kinda premature I think. Poor guy, he has seemed to always work his butt off and do good in places like NFLE and such, but never get a real shot. Oh well...

if we sign Briggs, I think we can kiss Tillman good bye after this season.

Yeah, they could have charged him, and anyone else would probably be charged...

I dunno... Kyle Boeller didn't go to any pro-bowls IIRC... Imagine how good he would be right now if Miami didn't F him up by having him play 10 different positions... eh, if Miami didn't F him up, then we probably wouldn't have him now then...
