"We're really not looking for Kellen Winslow; we're looking for Mike Ditka," Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said Sunday. "The tight ends that we have now really fit more of the profile we want in the offense. It's no more than that."

Ironically, the roles were reversed the previous offseason, when Olsen pushed Angelo for a trade after the club hired offensive coordinator Mike Martz.

"He came at me hard last year, I understood it," Angelo said. "I told him I'd think about it. Greg is a great kid, works his tail off, and I said 'Greg, I don't see that being in our best interests.' Again, it's about the team, and I said, 'That's going to hurt our football team.' I said you're going to have to suck it up. Just do your job, you have a contract, we paid you well for your services. He's a professional, he took the high rode. I respect that.

LMFAO we always rape the bears in one way or another. They thought they were getting rid of a ST S in Harris and we turned him into a pro bowl type player. Then when he was used up we sent him packing back to the bears for picks and a player. They then thought they got a good deal on Peppers but surprise, surprise, as much as they don't want to admit it Peppers is just as lame as Cutler. Now we hose them again....

      Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄

      That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.

      My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
