yeah. I saw that. Not even one. Not a good argument for FA's to come to Chicago. I think Pace needs to record the annual "we didn't do well enough" presentation extravaganza to be played for any potential free agents and their agents so that they will beat his door down. He may even have to go as far as showing them the "we will do better next year" video. Those two are irresistible. Kind of like watching tiny Tim and then wanting to go out and do good.

You forgot the heart rending tradition of how George McCaskey will look into the camera, and tell us all how his poor dear mother, Virginia, is "pissed" again. I never tire of this part of the Family tradition. Not a dry eye in the house when Bears fans everywhere hear how poor dear mom is heartbroken - again.

The Family shows how they truly do care about all of us, the great unwashed, rabble.

I really don't know why we put so much into Pro Bowl. Pro Bowl has always been about popularity. If this team was in the race for a playoff spot both Howard and Hicks would be on that list. Since we're on a race for the lowest pick. No one is going to vote for us.

Read it again tomorrow. You will be dirty by then (some would argue that you are always dirty)

True. A shower cannot cleanse a dirty mind. I'm good with that.

That is a good point about the Pro Bowl. Unfortunately, we have no All-Pro talent either. And the All Pro team is legit. I can't remember the last time we had a legit 1st-Team All-Pro player here. We used to. But that was before we entered the Emery/Trestman/Pace/Fox era.

People will jump in here to say how we have some good players. Sure. I agree with that. I think we have a few 2nd-tier talents on this team, and that is important. You need those too. And we have a number of "good" players on the tier below that. Those guys also are important to a championship team. But when you look at the legit championship teams you also note they have true difference-maker players, those who are 1st-tier talents. Those are guys who end up 1st-team All Pro team players. I'd love to see Mitchell Trubisky become that kind of player some day - and maybe have 1 wide receiver like that too. It doesn't have to be a Jerry Rice & Joe Montana type thing... but still, it would be great to have a top-tier QB and WR tandem... LOL, one can dream :-)

We have some legit pro bowl talent. Until we win, they won't get voted on though.

Despite being on a shitty offense, Howard has already 1,069 yards, 7 TDs and just one fumble - and the season isn't even over yet.

I don't care if this makes me a homer but the fact that Howard has achieved all this and still didn't make it to the Pro Bowl is a joke.
