Congrats, I have much higher hopes for this Bears running back now that he will be in camp when it opens. Nice work Teddy Phillips and Jerry Angelo!!! ... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262870&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:06:01 Three more draft picks reach contract agreements - Chicago Bears I have to share this news with y'all... best news from the draft thus far... The Bears have now signed or agreed to terms with 10 of their 12 players chosen in this year’s draft, the most in the NFL. To date, 67 picks from the 2008 NFL draft have signed or agreed to terms with their respective teams. Slim Tim is very happy. I like to... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262871&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:06:01 So my buddy Bob tells me that the DE was a reach in the 2nd round, but the TE that they took in the first looks to be the TE that I have been begging for for a while now. There has been some news that has come out that the Bears may be shopping Alex Brown, and if those rumors are true, it would make sense to get a young DE to groom into the system. Also, it would make sense to get rid of one of the three DEs on the roster who are impact players... Alex Brown, A. Oguleye and the phenom Mark ... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262872&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:06:01 Slim Tim will be OK with any pick this year as long as said pick has "lineman" in the job description. Offensive lineman, defensive lineman... 300Lbs or more, Beef. ST http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262873&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:06:01 Finally! The Bears and Lovie agree on a 4-year contract extension. In other news, Jerry Angelo signs a contract extension as well. But LOVIE WILL BE BACK!!! Woo Hoo!!! Chalk Slim Tim up as one happy camper with this news!!! Slim Tim. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262874&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:06:01 So, it would have been great to have won the Superbowl. The Bears lost and got beat pretty bad. I pin the loss on coaching, they were just plain outcoached. And by outcoached, I mean Ron Turner got outcoached, just like last season in the playoff game against Carolina, the Bears went away from the run and got burned. Just to overstate it... RUN THE BALL!!! Some good notes: Mark Anderson, Devin Hester and Daniel Manning were good. Tommie Harris a... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262875&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:06:01 JANUARY January 27: Senior Bowl, Mobile, AL February 8: First day clubs can designate Franchise or Transition players.

The quarterback is a finely-calibrated, laser-throwing robot, the coach is rarely emotional and they play in a dome. They seem like they were designed in a lab. The Bears, on the other hand, look like they were designed in Upton Sinclair's meatpacking district. The Bears are rough and ready. Black and blue. Smash-mouth. They play at Soldier Field. It's man vs. machine. The machine is a 7-... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262877&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:06:01 Bring on the Honey Bears for the Super Bowl! Let the Bears wear their Orange jerseys for the Super Bowl! (if not orange, how about the Navy jersey with navy pants...) Devin Hester is one fast exciting dude! Anyone going to Miami? Isn't Good Rex just fantastic? Were you as surpised as I was that the Bears are underdogs for the Super Bowl? http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262878&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:06:01 So, I just opened up the blog to additional authors... It could get interesting. Go Bears... Slim Tim http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262879&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:06:01
