It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Its time to cut ties with Tommie Harris.

Can Richard Seymour play 3T? Kinda old and pricey though.

Agree, and I do think Tommie Harris and his gigantic salary will be looking for a new home next year. He and Lovie DO NOT have a good relationship.

Can Richard Seymour play 3T? Kinda old and pricey though.

speaking of that I think Casey Hampton may be available after this year. He'll be 33 though.

Am I the only one holding out hope that Harris can return anywhere near close to form? I guess I am. I am not ready to cut ties with him yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears are.

I don't think Hampton fits the scheme as the 3T - he's more of a space eating nose tackle. You need more of a quick, penetrating guy to effectively play the 3T.

Nice explanation from wikipedia:

I rarely troll.

You and Angelo, that's about it. I think we all "hope", but no one "expects".

His knee is never going to get better, it will only get worse. It is bone on bone. He will need a new knee before his 35th birthday.

Ordonez, after the 2004 season with the Chicago White Sox, went to Austria, Vienna to have shock wave therapy performed by Dr. Wolfgang Schaden.

"It was not an easy decision," Ordonez says. "I visited with more than 10 doctors in the United States and none of them could give me a concrete answer about my knee. So I had to make a decision quickly because I was going to be a free agent and I didn't have a job."

The shock waves caused microfractures, which allowed blood to circulate to the injured area of Ordonez's knee. Ordonez's once renowned opposite field power now finally has been restored.

Magglio had some crazy-ass Austrian shock-wave therapy done to his knee. His issue was very different than Tommie's - Maggs had an issue with the blood stopping the circulation process in the knee and therefore his normal knee surgery would not heal. Tommie has a degenrative knee condition.

and now the hole up the gut gets a little bigger for benson to run through on his way to the end zone

Who are they putting in?

Who are they putting in?

Wait until Irish Boy reads this....

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Looked accurate to me. That's pretty much what I posted a few weeks ago.

Tommie Harris says Bears' injury report "wasn't true"

Posted by Michael David Smith on October 26, 2009 9:59 AM ET
Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris missed Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals with what the team says was a knee injury. But according to Harris, what the team says about his knee isn't true.

After the game, the Chicago Sun-Times reports, reporters approached Harris to ask him how his knee was feeling, and Harris responded by saying, "It wasn't true."

When asked directly whether a knee injury caused him to miss the game, Harris responded, "No. You talk to them. If you came here earlier, you saw, I worked out before the game."

Harris, who missed all three practices last week, made the trip to Cincinnati and reportedly worked out on the field about two hours before kickoff, but NFL Network reported about four hours before kickoff that Harris would sit out. So the Bears apparently decided to sit Harris before letting him test the knee out on the field.

The NFL injury report listed Harris as doubtful with a knee injury, and the Bears' official web site says Harris sat out with a knee injury. But Bears General Manager Jerry Angelo said in a radio interview on Thursday that the Bears were concerned about Harris's performance, not his health.

"Tommie is healthy," Angelo said. "That is not an issue."

So what's going on with Harris? We still don't know. But we do know that the player and the team are not on the same page.
