		<description><![CDATA[John Tait turned away $4.8 million and the final year of his six-year contract, signed in 2004, to retire before this season started. Sigh. Apparently, the ankles could take no more. Double sigh. Now, filed under one-who-would-know, Tait offers his (overly?) optimistic opinion of the Bears struggling offensive line.

		<description><![CDATA[When the Bears signed tackle John St. Clair in 2006, it was to add competition and depth to a then solid offensive line. John Tait and Fred Miller were the aging, but stellar, bookends and St. Clair was brought in to be, along with Terrence Metcalf, an insurance policy.

It&#8217;s clear the man loves the fumbleruski. He&#8217;s all about it. He wants to romance it and take it to the back seat of his 1978 TransAm. Yeah, that&#8217;s right. And he won&#8217;t stop until the early dawn.
