08:26 AM ET 09.05 | Bears left guard Terrence Metcalf was in no mood to discuss the team's acquisition of veteran guard Dan Buenning. "I ain't in administration,'' Metcalf said Thursday. "Whatever they do, that's their decision. It doesn't have anything to do with me or reflect [on] me.'' Any frustration Metcalf might have probably has more to do with getting set back by minor knee surgery. He was running with the first team before the procedure, performed during training camp. Now Josh Beekman is the starter at left guard heading into Sunday's season opener at Indianapolis. Buenning has to learn the system before becoming a contributor.

if i were on their line, i'd still be annoyed the bears made no real play to land tackle Willie Anderson.

If I'm on the line I'm happy they didn't. If I'm Kyle Orton I would start drinking now. Oh it's Kyle Orton, he hasn't stopped.

As if they didn't have enough to worry about! Metcalf should be upset the Bears didn't get more help than that!

Why do they always put up a picture of Lovie Smith when talking about anyone in the Bears organization?

That's because they're embarrassed to show anyone else's face on that team! What? Don't tell me you'd prefer Orton or ... Grossman?

Zip it Metcalf. You can't even stay healthy enough to beat out a guy who was on the practice squad last year. You're a backup - enjoy your paycheck, and since you're on the Bears I'm sure there will be plenty of injuries to get you PT.

At least Metcalf didn't steal Buenning's luggage.

September 5, 2008  04:08 PM ET

Metcalf's play has been very subpar: shut up and sit down, Terry. (Not the famous Terry Metcalf.)

September 5, 2008  05:39 PM ET

Well, Terrence Metcalf, this and that, and this and that!!! I was in "Administration" and let me tell you this and that!!!

It was all about "This and that!!!" So, don't just sit there pondering on what this and that is or what it is about to be. Go out there and pound your number into the turf with such thunder as to awaken the Greek god Zeus. He was considered to be the god of the sky and weather. Let that be to your advantage!!

Advantage is the key to victory!!

September 5, 2008  05:42 PM ET

George, I'll take your hand and save you from the depths of despair. I beseech thee, don't let the miscreants take advantage of you.

Advantage is the key to victory!!

Oops. I am really behind in this thread. Please don't tell my wife.

"I ain't in administration,''

Evidently you're not into grammar.

If you want frustration, talk to Lovie at the end of the season (assuming he makes it that far).
