I know football season is a few months away, but I can't wait! I can't wait to see how well Brady recovers, and what happens to T.O. I can't wait to see my Chicago Bears decked out in their Navy and Orange. I can't wait for the sweat, the drama, the weekly anticipation. I just can’t wait! I love football!
For me, it is all about the Bears, the Chicago Bears! This year is going to be awesome! We got the notorious Devin Hester, the surprisingly dominant Matt Forte, Jay Cutler with a chip on his shoulder, and Orlando Pace should be an excellent addition to our offensive line. If only we had a weapon of a wide receiver. A Randy Moss type could transform the Bears from a running team to a running and passing team. Wouldn’t that be something? I’m so sick of Lovie Smith talking that "we're a defensive team" crap. How’s that been working for you, Lovie?
Supposedly the Bears have been trying to develop Hester into a serious wide receiver. Call me impatient, but after last season's less than stellar performance, I'm not willing to place all my eggs in his basket. In the past, the Bears management has made some questionable decisions. After cutting Muhsin “Moose” Muhammad, our two time Pro Bowl wide receiver, Moose went to the Carolina Panthers and had what has been one of his greatest seasons yet. We need redemption, and what better way to receive it than to offer it?
Plaxico Burress recently made headlines when he shot himself in the foot at a nightclub. But before this “mishap” Plax, a former New York Giant, was on top of his game. Averaging 13 yards a catch, Burress was one of the league’s best. The Giants cut Plax after all the controversy, and now he’s a free agent, a free agent looking for redemption.
The Bears could offer Plax a home in Chicago, and it would be a win/win situation. Plaxico has no doubt eaten his slice of humble pie, and learned his lesson. He would likely come to Chicago focused, matured and ready to win. Chicago could use Burress to supplement the deep threat Jay Cutler’s arm presents. And if they are serious about developing Hester into a powerful wide receiver, adding Burress to the roster would create a double threat in the passing game.
This is a move that would potentially give the Bears the best team in the NFC, and maybe even the entire league. I would love to see the Bears make a move on Plaxico Burress. In fact I almost expect it. Mark my words, if the Bears get Plax, the Bears will get Superbowl rings.

And let's really be serious, the turning point in the bears organization was letting my man, Thomas Johnson go, for Cedric-3.5-yards-a-carry-Benson.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Benson, I'm glad his alcoholic boat driving behind is gone. We've had our fair share of hoodlums on the Bears team. The last thing we need is gun-toting Plaxico.
The next thing we know his boys will be shooting and killing folks at the Ice Bar like My-house-is-an-illegal-gun-fortress Tank Johnson.
No ma'am, we don't need anymore hoodlums on the Bears team. Let's just see what Jay Cutler can do... lucky for him, he won't even have to change his colors.
LOL! Okay, I hear you, BUT I am a huge believer in second chances and redemption. If Plax wants to come to Chicago and focus, I say bring it on! If he wants to come to the Chi and live it up, being spotted in clubs late nights canoodling with Chicago nightlife socialites, I say stay in New York better yet send him to the Lions! That should be fitting punishment.
