It turns out, the love for WWE wrestler Daniel Bryan is getting some outside of the wrestling world. A big thanks to offensive lineman Travis Jackson, who is of course, a wrestling fan, for first doing it in a game against Michigan and getting the entire arena to do it on Tuesday night.

This video is pretty awesome. Enjoy.

Also, fuck Ohio State.

Let the tanking begin.

Alright Bulls fans. Luol Deng has been traded to the Cavaliers and this will save the Bulls about $15 million in cap room. Good news is, Andrew Bynum will be released today and three draft picks will be coming back in return. This is good news. The Bulls, as usual, aren’t going anywhere anyway so they might as well get what they can before players like Deng become free agents.

Like I said, the Bulls get three draft picks and and one of those is for this upcoming offseason which will give them two first round picks. The other two are anywhere from 2015-2017. Assuming the idiot for an head coach is gone by the end of this season, one of these picks might actually turn out to be pretty good. This cap space will also include the Bulls using the amnesty clause on Carlos Boozer which will save them even more money next year. All I know is that Carmelo Anthony is available and Kevin Love wants out of Minnesota after this season but teams in the West may have more to offer. It’s up to the village idiot, John Paxson to do something because Derrick Rose will not be the same player once (or if) he returns.

It’s time for the Bulls to wipe the slate clean. It will be painful but it’s the NBA. They will need to suck for a while before finding gems in the draft. It doesn’t help that a lot of players come right out of college with only playing a year or two. That’s another reason why the NBA has sucked big time the last decade or so. A lot of these players only go for one year and they don’t develop into an NBA-caliber player.

It all started with this trade. Next up, trade Noah or whoever else they can and try to get some quality players back or just trade them to free up cap space. The Bulls need to build a team through the draft and add someone such as Kevin Love or Carmelo Anthony to help out eventually. Last but not least, the PATHETIC excuse for a head coach needs to be tossed after this season. The risk of him injuring more players is not worth winning some regular season game when they are up 30 and the starters are still out there. Someone like Jeff Van Gundy could and should be a top choice if the Bulls are serious about contending.

He’s baaaccckkk!

I have a FEELING that our good friend Genrebuster loves this photo of Lovie Lee Smith. Well, he becomes the problem of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now.

Rumor has it (and this isn’t a joke), that their new general manager may be, you guessed it, Jerry Angelo. It looks like the band is getting back together. You cannot make this shit up!

Final Open Thread of 2013

December 31, 2013 by

Well, ladies and gentleman, this is it for the calendar year. It was a great 2013 up until the last two weeks for us. What a shitty ending. As we get to 2014, we pray things will get better for our Bears. Let’s hear your thoughts on what the Bears should do. For me, I’d say fire Trestman and bring back Ditka. With that, Dan Hampton should be the defensive coordinator too because he knows the tradition of BEARS FOOTBALL.

Alright, for real, here’s what the Bears should do: Do not let Chris Conte into Chicago ever again. Get an entirely new defense. Ban Chris Conte from entering the city limits. Bring back Jay Ratliff for cheap. Put the tag on Cutler. Get a defense that actually knows that they should play whistle to whistle. Tell Chris Conte that he should buy a house right next to Chucky in Mundelein because let’s face it, it’s a great time to buy.

If you have any other suggestions, go right ahead. Entertain me. Happy New Year everybody.

Go figure.

What a way to close out the year, right? I really don’t have much to say because, let’s face it, the Bears are a fucking let down. Every damn year. Sure, the offense could have done more but how much can you ask out of them? The defense was surprisingly playing well albeit some bad calls. It really didn’t matter in the end. Chris Conte and the shitty defense of the Chicago Bears lost this game. No doubt about it. You just knew it was appropriate that they closed out the season that way. They had two chances to win the division and they failed to do that.

Sure. We can blame the Cowboys for fucking up two weeks ago. If they don’t blow that, this game means nothing and the Bears clinch last week regardless. But it’s not. This fuck up goes solely on the Bears from the coaching staff to the players. No excuses.

We can bitch more about this game and season all we want. It won’t do anything. It was a shitty last two weeks and you would be insane to think it would end any differently than it did. The good news is, no more injuries for the season and Phil Emery has a long list of issues to address in the offseason. May I suggest an entirely new defense?

The Bears were embarrassed on Sunday Night against the Eagles. After what happened earlier in the day, you would think the Bears would have shown up and they failed to do so. The night started off with a horrible Adam Podlesh punt. Then, Devin Hester fumbles. In between and around that, was the defense completely sucking ass. I am not leaving the offense out of this either. Cutler was terrible in this game. It was a horrible game all around.

No need to waste time dwelling on this though. The Packers are up next with the division on the line.

…are the Eagles this good?

Nah…the Bears are this bad, at least tonite. Fro:  delete this thread/post when you post your recap…or, I will if you’re unable to.

ThomASS after Derrick Rose’s injury (first and second): We have more than enough to win.

9-15 record after losing the Rockets by 15. They are currently 9th in the Eastern Conference.

In other news, Marc Trestman has the Chicago Bears in first place with a chance to clinch the division Sunday.
