		<title>What was your favorite moment of the Kevin Jones Era?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Bears cut backup running back Kevin Jones today.  No big surprise with the signing of Chester Taylor last week.  Jones&#8217; career with the Bears never really took off.  He joined the Bears in 2008, coming off a knee injury.  He saw a limited role, playing second fiddle to Matt Forte while racking up 109 [...]]]></description>
