After the Bears decided that a press release late on a Friday was a solid move, they’ve apparently sent Martz to meet the people. By my count, Martz has talked to Waddle & Silvy from ESPN 1000 on Monday, Mully and Hanley from 670 The Score this morning, and now a Q&A with the spinmaster himself.

First and foremost, congratulations to the Saints and the city of New Orleans on a great win in a memorable Super Bowl XLIV. Part of the whole Super Bowl hoopla are all the commercials and of course, as a die-hard Bears fan I wanted to see the Super Bowl Shuffle remake commercial by Boost Mobile.  The 30 second spot that aired did not do justice to the full video that I uploaded from Boost Mobile’s website.  Check it the commercial and then the full video after the jump: Boost Mobile Commercial

Bob LeGere took a nice (and rightful) swipe at Devin Hester.  One of the best parts? The problem, Devin, is that the Bears are paying you like a full-time receiver, and a very good full-time receiver, not a kick returner who plays a little wideout. Hester’s already been paid $15 million in guaranteed money from his 2008 contract extension in addition to a $5 million roster bonus last season. So, if Hester really wants to help the Bears, he should focus on continuing to improve as a receiver, where there’s still lots of room for improvement after a decent 54-catch, 682-yard [...]
