Here is the deal: We don’t have time, nor always the will, to make a post out of every semi-significant Bears-related tidbit that hits the InterWeb. But, to satisfy you readers and make sure that we keep on top of everything, we’re bringing you short and precise annotated Bears highlights every Monday and Thursday. This is our link-dumpish effort. (more…)

On my way to work out flex in the mirror this morning, I heard this on Mike & Mike In The Morning: “Reports are that Brett Favre has said he’s 100% sure that he will never put the pads on again.” Kill me. I can’t take another summer of this. (more…)

Tommie Harris, who, to me, has always come off as kind of depressed, was rather vocal today about, among other things, his need to step up his game, the addition of Julius Peppers, and who his true friends really are. The highlights, after the jump. (more…)

Rex Grossman gets signed by Washington with hopes “to be thrown into the mix” of competition for the starting job. And, hey, with Jason Campbell as the incumbent, it wasn’t like it was a completely impossible scenario…Rex, your plan to be an NFL starter again just got Campbell’s Chunky duped by Donovan McNabb.

If only because: this is the third anniversary of one of the most depressing days of my young life, the offseason thus far has been unconvincing, and the decline of the Bears since the 2006 season has been so abrupt, I’m pretty excited to hear today that Devin Hester “would love to get back in that situation with the return game.” (more…)

And we’re gleeful, indeed. We’ve been praying for a second opportunity to show this picture, and knew it would come one way or another. Sadly, it’s because Malast was just added to the practice squad, and not because he finally came clean about that one time at Rutgers when he impregnated the daughter of an angry witch doctor his head was shrunken through some, no doubt, hilarious means.

Wow: In your-ex-girlfriend-just-started-seeing-that-asshole-with-rich-folks news, Kansas City Chiefs safety Mike Brown intercepted two passes versus Oakland today — including the game clincher on Oakland’s final drive. And you thought it was bad enough that, through nine games, he has yet to go out for the season!

Clearly, the most rewarding part of penning a post entitled “The Rise And Fall Of Nate Vasher” would be seeing resiliency rewarded. And with that: just when you thought it was safe to write off Vasher for good … yes! yes! … well, he doesn’t suck as a free safety. No, no, that’s a really good thing! (more…)

It isn’t so much his role in the underachieving three-year stint he spent in Chicago that Cedric Benson chooses to focus on. Nope, instead it’s what everyone else did to purposely ruin his life. You know, like take Thomas Jones’ side on everything! Now, with the third-most rushing yards in the NFL, Benson finally feels okay to admit that the Bears weren’t necessarily the ideal work reference. (more…)

Any other Bears fans amped that Hester showed shades of his 2006 form in Denver this past weekend? It wasn’t any of this catch the ball, then run backwards five yards. No, it was catch the ball, make a decision, stick with it, and dust ten of the eleven opponents on the field. I have to say, I got a raging semi from watching that 54 yarder. (more…)

Five years ago, Nathan Vasher’s career with the Chicago Bears seemed bright and unbounded. He was a recent fourth-round draft pick, many considered him a steal, and even more were infatuated with the video making rounds on YouTube featuring him blowing up an oblivious Carlos Francis. So, how does it get to the point where a mere five years later, anticipation is no longer forming in regard to his star potential, but instead, for his final days with the club in which it all started? (more…)

The Kansas City Chiefs recently worked out two free agent wide receivers: David Terrell (!) being one of them. And while they went with the other, Amani Toomer, the luxury to pick and choose between two high-caliber options says a lot about the state of the Chiefs, currently the favorites to win the 2002 Super Bowl. Also, that Mike Vick seems like a nice man.
