The problem isn't just Turner, or even just Smith. The problem is Angelo putting forth an inferior product. The problem is Virginia McCaskey being too cheap. And the problem is that we reward people who have done for us in the past, and they fail to live up their end. Harris and Urlacher spring to mind. Until there is a change in ownership and philosophy, this team will continue to suffer from the same problems. Please McCaskey, sell the Bears to someone who actually cares enough about the team to make the right decisions, and actually open the checkbook!

I pray Jumbo is on the hot seat. Like Angelo has done with the Bears, Hendry has made some really ****ed up moves, and we're wondering why he's still with the team.

How so? What part of that post was false? Face facts, the old ****er has more waffles than a house of pancakes.

Yes and no. I still think your kicker would have won the game for you more than your secondary. If he hits those two FGs, we lose.
Posted Tuesday October 20, 2009, About: Bears in market for linebacker?
Yeah, because he's totally responsible for the defense failing to stop Ryan in the second half. Makes total sense.

No, Orton merely went to a more favorable situation and team. He was given the keys to a loaded offense, although defense was what people thought would truly kill the Broncos.

Contrast that to the situation Cutler found himself in. He came to a team with only 3 playmakers at most, and was expected by many to take us to the promised land. Not even after 1 season of playing with us. He may be the most talented passer we've had in decades, but he's not Superman. He can't do everything by himself, although peabrains such as yourself love to pile on him when he doesn't, or more accurately, simply can't.

Good God, some people are idiots. Cutler didn't do horrible. He threw for 300 yards and 2 TDs to go with those 2 INTs. The INTs didn't help matters, but they also didn't break us. The defense not adjusting to the Falcons' second half offense broke us. Our horrid offensive line broke us. Bad playcalling by Smith and Turner broke us. Cutler played a roll in the loss, yes. But let's not pretend that he, and he alone was responsible for this.

One thing is certain though. Angelo is a damn moron. He's good for one thing, and one thing only. That's taking defensive talent. He's completely one-dimensional, and his staff is mainly comprised of brain dead cretins. Only Toub and Marinelli are actually doing better than average at best. If we don't do something very soon, then we will be in danger of becoming worse than mediocre in just a few years.
Posted Saturday October 17, 2009, About: Bucs looking to deal Clayton?
I'm not so sure I like this Adams deal. Adams was a disappointment thus far with the Bucs. But there are two possibilities/reasons I see for this trade:

1) One of our ends leaves for FA. Ogun is in his contract year right now, and this could possibly be a move to replace him. He's not exactly a spring chicken, after all.

It could also be that this move spells the end for Mark Anderson, who hasn't produced half as well as he did during his monster rookie campaign.

2) It's possible that Angelo thought Marinelli could work with Adams, and get more production out of him. He's already improved the pass-rush that was sorely lacking last year, and Adams could possibly be a nice fit.

Of course, it could also be that Angelo and Smith see the writing on the wall, and did this as a desperation move. Coming into the offseason, they knew that they had to do something soon, or else they may have found themselves out on their kesiters after the season concluded. That would explain why Angelo was acting outside of his element this past offseason, and why he made this move. If so though, this could backfire big time.

"Not mentally tough enough?" He's playing in what is arguably the toughest sports market in the country. Yet he has maintained his composure, and played well, Game 1 aside. It sounds like you are the one who should be playing closer attention to football.
Posted Tuesday October 13, 2009, About: Bears failing in developing talent?
Believe me when I say that many Bears fans, myself included, genuinely liked Orton, and wish him continued luck in Denver. He may not be as talented as Cutler, but he still did well, especially with what he had. He'll be just fine.

That said, I am quite happy with Jay. He may have had an abysmal first game, but has been incredible ever since. He can make outstanding throws, run out of a jam, and simply do great. Our O-line isn't doing him or Forte any favors, though. For that, I blame Angelo. He continues to put sub-par talent on the field in terms of offensive personnel. Pace isn't the same Hall of Fame player he once was. Kreutz is old, and should be thinking about retirement. Williams is in his first year of starting. Angelo made a bold move in acquiring Cutler, but hasn't made any significant progress in building up a decent O-line.

Wade sucks. Don't need yet another mediocre as **** receiver. Especially when that mediocre receiver loves to shoot his mouth off.

Wow. People like you shouldn't be allowed in public.

*Are you insane?*
Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: Cubs in market for hitter
What do we really need? How about doing something worthwhile in the bloody playoffs for once?

And Soriano at second? Ar you insane? You do realize that he posted fielding percentages of .972 and .962 while playing second, right? It's almost as bad as his .954 FPCT right now. No, putting him at 2nd would be a disaster.
Posted Friday July 17, 2009, About: Packer rips Bears receivers
I really don't care. Context, people. He didn't rip the receiving corps. He merely said we don't have the corps, which is true. This group is comprised mainly of unknowns and people who suck (*cough Davis and Hester*) as receivers. At best, Davis is a slot receiver, and Hester should return mainly to returning. The rest of the group is unknown. Bennett didn't catch anything last year, and the rest are rookies. While the have great promise, they are still rookies nevertheless, and can bust just like any other rooks. Once again, context. Learn it.

Und? Hester ist nicht sehr gut, mein Freund.
Posted Friday May 29, 2009, About: Bears wary of signing WR Jones
Wow. Way to stereotype an entire fanbase, jackass.
Posted Thursday May 28, 2009, About: Bears wary of signing WR Jones
Indeed. As much as people complain about the offense, which will take some time to fix, I'm more worried about the defense. Urlacher isn't the same player he once was, our safety situation is abysmal at best, and as much as I love TH, he has to step up. Tinoisamoa would be an outstanding addition, and would help in fixing the defense. But I still vomit in my mouth everytime I hear the name Josh Bullocks...

Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel about "Cuntler."
Posted Wednesday May 27, 2009, About: Umpire says Cub lied to media
Right. Because those umps were totally in the right in making some of the worst calls of the year, and getting in peoples' faces. I find it absolutely hilarious how people are oh so quick to absolve the umps of any wrongdoing whatsoever. We can't place blame where blame belongs, oh no! That would actually be doing the right thing for once. The players are wrong, no matter what!
Posted Wednesday May 27, 2009, About: Umpire says Cub lied to media
I'm with you, axe. Some of these umps are either incompetent, biased, hot heads, or a combination thereof. It doesn't matter which one of these negative qualities they have. People like that do not deserve to be in the league. Simple as that. Besides, considering some of the calls these guys make, they deserve a good tongue lashing. Prime example of this: The incident where that jackass ump tossed Bradley for arguing a horribly bad strike call. Anyone with even half a brain could see that not only was that VERY clearly a ball, but it was also ball 4. ****, that wasn't even the only bad call in that series. There were at the very least 3 horrendous calls.

On another note, if an ump followed me to the dugout, and continued to yell at me, I would knocked his ass out. It's bad enough that the ump would have violated my personal space. But to follow me to my own dugout? That's where the ump would really cross the line.
