Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

I have seen all I need of the Chicago Bears this season. I know it’s only the preseason but judging from last year’s preseason, the average fan indeed can tell how their team will do just by watching the third game of the preseason. Now before I get to anything else, I want to point something out before fuck tards like Irish Yeti come here (The worse site on the internet) to point out certain stats. One stat that I think he will point is the 1985 Bears team that was winless in their preseason yet went to win the Super Bowl that year.

The response I have to say to that is those two teams are totally different. The 1985 team had a better team. This 2010 team could be the worse we have seen since the 2002 team that went 4-12 in my opinion. Even last year, myself along with the guys over at Fire Ron Turner (Now Fire Mike Martz) were saying that this team just doesn’t look like a contender even with Jay Cutler at quarterback. We were worried about the offensive line which turned out to be shitty. We worried about the secondary. That turned out to be a disaster. And we worried about the defense as a whole which once again turned into a shit fest. Yes. Brian Urlacher was a factor in that shitty defense. But even with him, they probably win one or two more games which puts them at the bubble of the playoffs.

Just like last year, the same questions are there for this 2010 Chicago Bears team:

1. If Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith knew the offensive line sucked the last couple years, why haven’t they tried to make it better? Yes. They draft Chris Williams though they knew he had back problems. That was a bust. They signed Frank Omiyale and that hasn’t done much. So I can’t say they aren’t trying but unfortunately, they haven’t signed the right players. Due to the lack of a decent offensive line, we will not know how well Jay Cutler can be on this team.

2. Will Charles Tillman ever learn how to actually play cornerback? This guy has won some games for the Bears. No doubt about it. He can cause fumbles and get the occasional interception. However as I stated in the past, if you ask him to actually cover a receiver, you are basically fucked as a team. Football is a simple game to figure out. It’s 11 on 11. A player should be able to pick someone on the other team and play defense.

3. The defense as a whole. Is Brian Urlacher finished? It sure looks like it. Even before his injury last year, he looked slow on reading the offense. How about the rest of the linebackers? Lance Briggs always seems to bring it but will guys like Hillenmeyer and Tinoisomoa help out? Julius Peppers gets signed to big money does that mean he will do well when no one else on the defensive line is great?

4. Special teams. Let me continue to beat the dead horse on this issue. Devin Hester will be good being a third wide receiver. Forget him winning two or three games alone taking back kicks and punts. Lovie Smith and Jerry Angelo think he’s the next Jerry Rice. This is for a lack of a better term, pathetic. The ineptitude and lack of football knowledge by Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith will prove to be costly once again this season.

So buckle up Bears fans. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. I would love to be totally wrong on all of this but I don’t see it. I want the Bears to win and win a lot. I just don’t see it with this team. Too many questions and no answers to go with any of them. I would like 11 or 12 wins but I think at best, 8-8 sounds just about right.

First off, my apologies to all for not getting a new post up in the last couple weeks. Things have been a little hectic at home and at the office.

For those living under a semi, the Bears will play their second preseason game Saturday at 7:30 against Oakland. Some things I am noticing is that the wide receivers are looking better. It seems like Johnny Knox and Devin Aromashodu could both have a really good season.

The defense is still going to be a big question mark. Yes. Urlacher is back and ready to go but is he still able to perform at a higher level? Will the defense for another season let offenses install the infamous “I-Pass” on them?

Finally, will Devin Hester finally be just a kick/punt returner? I still to this day think that the Bears organization ruined his career by putting him a full time wide receiver.

If these problems continue to occur, then I must say it’s time to clean house. Angelo and Lovie have had plenty of time to fix these problems and unfortunately, nothing has changed. As of right now, the defense as a whole sucks and the offensive line is awful.

So let’s pray that this whole fiasco turns around. I don’t like many of them players or coaches but I am rooting for them to do well as we all should. It’s time to win. If not, I will once again be waiting another month for basketball and hockey to start.

Next week: Bears first preseason game and the release of Madden NFL 11. I downloaded the demo for the PS3 and I must say, it’s a huge upgrade and a lot less complicated from last year’s. Two thumbs up.

The other day, Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman decided to let go of Antti Niemi in favor of 35 year old Marty Turco to be the new goaltender. I have to say that this is utter bullshit. The Blackhawks had the money to resign Niemi. The difference was $1 million between contracts. That is not a lot in sports.

I understand fully the problems of the salary cap but there was enough cash to sign him. I don’t think it makes sense to let go of a goaltender who just helped his team win their first Stanley Cup in nearly a half of a century for a goaltender who is pretty good but also is ten years older. I won’t sit here and say that Niemi is the best goaltender out there because he clearly wasn’t. However, he did the job and he was a big reason why the Blackhawks won the Stanely Cup.

So as always, we will find out during and after next season what the right choice was.

The toilet: Where every comment posted shall go.

Phew. Fire Jim Hendry/Fire Jerry Angelo has reached it’s second birthday at this residence. And for all of you stat whizzes out there (Cue Irish Yeti), we have reached a total of five years as a group at both the old site and this one. Who would have thought?

If it wasn’t for any of you guys, this place does not exist. We don’t have all of the crew we use to have as recent as a year or two ago but I still very much appreciate the few who have stuck around. Thank you.

This website is not always intended to “gain attention” as other websites out there. We are here for the sole purpose of venting our frustration towards our favorite teams. Nothing more. Nothing less.

However, I did receive an email from a friend of mine in Chicago who told me he tracks ESPN 1000 on his Twitter. I have no idea why he has that but I think anybody who has Twitter is a loser. Anyway, he told me that a woman by the name of Marissa Krupa tweeted (Is that the proper term?) the article from a couple weeks ago that I wrote on this site to guess who? Sarah Spain. Here is what Krupa twatted:

@SarahSpain read it on a blog yesterday by a hater. Can’t find the link now… Prolly he was jealous he missed out on bidding! 😉 2:56 PM Jul 23rd via TweetDeck in reply to SarahSpain

I am amazed. Really? I am jealous because I missed out on bidding? Yes. I must say I am. I am jealous because I didn’t have the TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS to take some slut to the Super Bowl that the Bears eventually lost then get laid by this girl. Right. I wouldn’t give a dime for any kind of “companionship”. If memory serves correct, I got laid within the next week or two after that game for the cost of…nothing. I didn’t pay a thing. She was just as good as Sarah Spain. And you know what the good thing was? I didn’t have to go all the way to Florida for this woman and dish out thousands of dollars. All I did was get in my ’82 Cavalier and drive about two miles down the road. She was some bar slut who put out easily and had the smell of old cigarettes.

Good day Marissa. I hope Sarah is showing you the ropes.

In the middle of May, I wrote this aricle saying how LeBron James was one of the most immature athletes and how if the Bulls acquired him, that it would cause a problem. For that, I received a lot of people criticizing my article saying how I was wrong and an idiot.

So with that being said, I am here to show those fuck tards once again that I have back up. A well respected writer named Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! Sports wrote this piece on July 16th basically showing proof on how LeBron James is indeed what I claimed him to be: A selfish punk.

In Wojnarowski’s article, he posts some situations where LeBron has showed his immaturity. Here is an excerpt from this article:

From Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski to managing director Jerry Colangelo to NBA elders, the issue of James’ immaturity and downright disrespectfulness had become a consuming topic on the march to the Olympics.

So you see ladies and gentleman? Even the most respected of basketball people can see how James is a selfish and immature prick. Now to the next excerpt:

After the NBA witnessed the behavior of James and his business manager Maverick Carter during the 2007 All-Star Weekend, the commissioner’s office sent word to USA Basketball the league wouldn’t force James on them for the Olympics. Before Team USA gathered for the 2007 Tournament of the Americas in Las Vegas, an unmistakable message had been delivered to James through Nike: Unless you change, we’re serious about leaving you home.

Wait everybody. There’s more:

Through Nike, James ultimately heeded the message and became more tolerable to coaches, teammates and staff. Team USA assigned Jason Kidd to babysit him at the Tournament of the Americas in 2007, to try to teach him something the Cavaliers never had a veteran to do: professionalism.

He had to be babysat? Really? I wonder if MJ ever needed a babysitter.

Within an hour of the Cavaliers’ season ending in Boston, James’ inner circle, including power broker William Wesley, agent Leon Rose and business manager Maverick Carter, stood outside the visiting locker room grumbling about coach Mike Brown…James had wanted Brown gone a year earlier after the Cavs lost in the Eastern Conference finals to the Orlando Magic – despite Brown guiding Cleveland to 66 victories while winning the league’s Coach of the Year award.

So James along with his immaturity needs his own posse to be with him at all times? And he complained about his head coach the season before? 66 wins and he thinks it’s the coach’s fault. Sure.

Once again, LeBron should not have any comparison on Jordan or any other great player for that matter. There are no comparisons because James is the biggest piece of crap in sports today. The guy is a punk and will always be. When he was in Cleveland, he was always dancing around the sidelines and showing off other teams. If you turds who want to disagree say that Jordan did the same thing, he didn’t. I don’t remember Jordan once ever dancing around the benches. If he talked shit to somebody, that somebody likely did it first.

For the last five years, I have said that LeBron James will never win a title because of his immaturity. James has had seven years to mature. If people also want to throw out that Kobe Bryant is immature, he has five rings and came into the league at the same age James did so he is doing just fine. Even though James went to the Heat with Bosh and Wade, he still will not win a title. You heard it from me first. I am sure he will have fun dancing around the benches in Miami shortly after the Heat lose in the second or third round of the playoffs.

As fans of most sports teams in this city, we tend to deal with a lot of idiots both in the Chicago media and on websites like this one. In December, I wrote an article similar to this one I am about to present about an idiot named Chet Coppock.

Today, we focus on another turd in Chicago sports. This woman is not only an attention whore but someone who was basically given a job because she became famous for being a skank. Her name is Sarah Spain. She currently works for ESPN 1000 as an update anchor. She is famous for trying to sell herself on eBay in exchange for a ticket to the Super Bowl when the Bears were in it in 2007. You read that right folks. She tried to “offer her services” so she could go to the Super Bowl. Now I am not an expert on the law or anything but I believe that constitutes that she is a…wait for it…prostitute.

On her eBay auction before it was pulled, she added, “I am not an escort. I am just offering my companionship in exchange for a ticket to the biggest game of the year.” eBay later pulled the auction but she did find a way around it by offering “pom-poms” in another auction. Some idiot even offered $20,000 for this skank.

Still don’t think this woman is not an only a whore but an attention whore? I found her MySpace page. Every link on the left hand side is full with links to articles pertaining to her. And check out the right hand side of that page. It shows the idiot who actually spent the thousands of dollars on her. At the time, it was a 3rd year medical student named Alan Shatagi. If you look at his pictures on her MySpace page, the first word that might pop up in your head is “douchebag”. He must be the dumbest fucking medical student in the world. What a loser. I can probably put money down he dealt with a case of chlamydia after that “date”.

What’s also funny on that page is that she has a certain segment towards the bottom of the page ripping on “haters”. Really? She must be really fed up with the criticism she receives from people that are calling her a prostitute for having that auction. Well once again. Someone who offers themselves in exchange for services is a…prostitute. So yes. Count me as a “hater” on this one. After every update, she says, “You’re listening to ESPN 1000. I’m Sarah Spain.” Instead, she should say “You’re listening to ESPN 1000. I’m a pathetic skank who sold myself on eBay for Bears tickets.”

So remember people. If you offer yourself on eBay for tickets to a big game, you just may land a career job making six figures a year just giving “sports updates” Monday through Friday every 20 minutes for a few hours! I should have known better. ESPN 1000 is known for hiring morons (Dan McNeil, Chet Coppock and now Sarah Spain). That makes me think: I wonder what Sarah would do if Chet pulled his pants down in front of her.
