2009-10 Bears Season: Utler, 'Uther 'Uckers

[MAD]

Yay.

rotoworld.

"Bears promoted DL coach Rod Marinelli to defensive coordinator.
Marinelli, who was a defensive line coach in Tampa before his head coaching stint in Detroit and eventual move to Chicago, will call defensive plays for the first time in his career. The Bears decided to stay in-house after whiffing on Perry Fewell, who was their No. 1 target entering the offseason. Marinelli knows the Bears' Tampa-2 scheme as well as anyone, so he's a natural fit despite his inexperience from a play-calling standpoint. Feb. 5 - 4:25 pm et"

I'd be mad about this if it surprised me or if I cared anymore.

THIS.

Ron Turner signs a contract with Stanfoo.  Can you imagine how good this makes me feel as a Cal fan?

[Chuck to Chuck]

The biggest issue isn't owners v. players it's owners v. owners.  Some want to keep the revenue sharing just the way it is (Packers, Bears, etc.) others want it to change dramatically (Cowboys, Redskins, etc.)

Until they agree there isn't going to be anything for the players and owners to negotiate about.

Ain't that the way it always is?

And since Tonto is working for the NFLPA, and he's bad-mouthing the owners privately, this should be considered a foregone conclusion? I realize Chuck didn't say that, but what the fuck should we expect that guy to say?  

Actually, he wasn't bad mouthing anyone.  He simply stated what his expectations were.

And his expectations were that the owners were not willing to work out a deal with the players and would simply lock them out and hurt their product inestimably? We get it. You have sources and they're all completely objective.

Who said objective?  Oh, yeah.  You.  Is it not possible to have a negative opinion that doesn't include bad mouthing?

Semantics. There will be no lockout. It's suicide.

All the NFL will have to do to win back the fans after a lockout is have the players start taking steroids. It worked for baseball.

When did they stop taking them? Oh, you mean they'd take a hiatus during the lockout? That's just crazy enough to work!

NFL players take steroids? I had no idea. Next you're going to tell me NBA players smoke a lot of weed.

$5 billion with little overhead goes a long way.

Isn't everything overhead for you?

"Browns released WR Donte' Stallworth.
He didn't last 24 hours on the offseason roster after being reinstated from his one-year suspension Monday morning. Stallworth is still only 29, but was completely ineffective the last time he played, catching just 17 balls for 170 yards and a single touchdown in 11 games opposite Braylon Edwards in 2008. He'll be lucky to get more than a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum, and is a long shot to ever reappear on the fantasy radar again. Feb. 8 - 5:39 pm et"

Does killing a dude exemplify bear football or what?  We need this level of intensity.

Sounds more like a Raider to me.  Pride and poise.

The Jags are expected to waive Torry Holt, and the Bears are likely to try to sign him, or even claim him off waivers to force him to play for them. 

Hey, whatever it takes to sign a once great WR who caught as many touchdown passes as I did last year.

He was drawing a little tougher coverage than you were and still blocks better. Eh, I don't know. I'm on the fence here. You've touched a lot of people, sure. But this guy could really coach up the young'ens in this new Martz clusterfuck and all that.

Awesome, sign him to coach the wide receivers then.  As a coach.
