With Beer Summit behind him, Obama to Host Bear Summit

President Obama just hosted the now famous Beer Summit at the White House, where he invited African American Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates and Sergeant Crowley, the two guys at the heart of a controversial misunderstanding, to the White House to hash out their differences over a couple of beers. Crowley arrested Gates for disorderly conduct on July 16 after a confrontation at the professor’s home, sparking a media frenzy as Gates accused the policeman of racial profiling. The Prez was upbeat about how things went.

“I am confident that has happened here tonight, and I am hopeful that all of us are able to draw this positive lesson from this episode.”

After reading Sgt. Crowley’s quote, I’m not so sure they totally cleared up their issues:

“I think what you had today was two gentlemen who agreed to disagree on a particular issue,” Crowley told reporters. “I don’t think that we spent too much time dwelling on the past. We spent a lot of time discussing the future.”

I guess that’s OK for the first of such summit. I wonder if President Obama busted out a smoke during the summit. The president has been famously trying to kick the habit since his campaign. “I only smoke when I drink,” I think I overheard the president say. … [visit site to read more]

Bears Training Camp Opens amid Urlacher-Cutler Drama

Boomer — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 03:25:33 +0000

Some are calling it Camp Cutler, but the way things have started off, I think it might be better to call it Jays of Our Lives. The Brian Urlacher-Jay Cutler show, with special guest Bobby Wade moved to Bourbonnais on Thursday, as training camp opens on Friday.

Urlacher addressed the media and brushed off the latest Cutler controversy.

“[Cutler] called me and I said, ‘What’s up pussy, what are you doing?’ ” a smiling Urlacher said Thursday after reporting to Olivet Nazarene University for training camp. “It’s so dumb to me that this even got to this point.”

That Brian’s got a way with words. Meanwhile, Cutler tried his best to diffuse the situation from his end.

“Brian, he’s the first one I heard it from,” Cutler explained. “I didn’t put any stock in it, and Brian didn’t. He was just sorry it came out like that.”

So let’s put an end to all the pussy talk. The next time we hear that term, it should be directed at Bobby Wade when the Vikings come to town!

With training camp set to open this week, it means that Fantasy Football is right around the corner. Most seasons, the Chicago Bears were a Fantasy Football afterthought aside from maybe the Defense and Special Teams. That will not be the case in 2009. In this series, we’ll take a look at the Bears you should target for your fantasy football squad.

Matt Forte

Forte burst onto the fantasy scene in his 2008 rookie campaign with over 1700 combined yards and 12 TD’s. He was one of a few featured backs that carried the majority of his teams carries and did not have to deal with fantasy football’s biggest enemy – the dreaded Running Back by Committee.
