Number 8 reason not to select Percy Harvin

Boomer — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 14:00:23 +0000

I’ve seen a lot of mock drafts that have the Bears selecting Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin with their first round draft pick. I am writing to implore Jerry Angelo not to select this young man and I have no other reason except the number on his shirt. … [visit site to read more]

Chris Simms slipping away

Boomer — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:16:52 +0000

UPDATE: As reader Bruce correctly points out, Simms finished the season with the Titans, so they have exclusive negotiating rights with him. Jerry Angelo can only do what the rest of us can; sit around and hope Simms doesn’t sign with the Titans and enters free agency on February 27th. Thanks Bruce!

If Jerry Angelo plans to add Chris Simms to the Bears QB mix, he’d better get with it. Vaughn McClure reports in his Huddle Up blog that Simms is leaning toward signing with the Tennessee Titans. … [visit site to read more]

Chicago Bears Draft Needs

Top Needs: DE, S, WR, OL

It’s time to start the building process for the 2009 Chicago Bears. Jerry Angelo hasn’t exactly been a master builder in recent drafts, but whenever draft talk comes up, he seems to talk enough about floors and ceilings (of players) that you’d think he was a carpenter and not a GM. Since the Bears announced that they won’t be raising ticket prices in 2009, I don’t expect any big splashes in Free Agency, so the bulk of the work will have to come through the draft. … [visit site to read more]

Housh to Bears? Depends on who you read

Boomer — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:00:43 +0000

Free Agent wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh appeared on ESPN 1000′s Waddle and Silvy show on Thursday morning and chatted up his upcoming free agency on the morning show. So the question that all Bears fans want answered: Is he coming to Chicago? Great question. The answer, however, is not so simple. Here is the Tribune headline for Vaughn McClure’s article:

Houshmandzadeh appears open to playing for Bears

and this headline from Brad Biggs’ Inside the Bears blog post:

Houshmandzadeh sounds off and it sounds like Bears aren’t a match

So which is it? Both articles have an excerpt of the transcript from the interview. … [visit site to read more]
