Look at what great photos of mom they'll be able to show off to their kids when they're older. His friends already have her pictures pasted all over their bedrooms.

So sweet.

Actually I like that one of her there with Hank

Now she has some other ones that aren't so classy

Yeah - I guess I wasn't thinking of the ones in which she's actually wearing anything.

Really sad news.  He was a great QB.  Never the eye popping numbers, but in his prime he was a guy who you wanted leading your team.  If he'd have gotten one more damn yard on that drive he'd have been though of much higher.

Bears Don't Want to Curb Cutler's Aggressive Style
Sun Jul 5, 2009



The Chicago Sun-Times reports the Bears do not plan on curbing QB Jay Cutler's aggressive style. Cutler can make every throw on the field and should benefit from the presence of RB Matt Forte. One knock on Cutler has been his decision making. Sometimes he counts on his arm too much to slide the ball into spots it shouldn't go.






Cutler fits in perfectly with the you-gotta-suck-to-play-QB-in-Chicago! 

What Options Does Derrick Brooks Have?
Fri Jul 10, 2009



The St. Petersburg Times suggests that free-agent LB Derrick Brooks' agent should call Chicago regarding his client. The Bears are very good at linebacker. That said, Brooks would have a comfort level with HC Lovie Smith, his old linebacker coach, and GM Jerry Angelo. After that, perhaps Indianapolis. The Colts still play former HC Tony Dungy's defensive system, and the linebackers there aren't exactly Canton-bound. Besides, Brooks always was faster on turf. Call No. 3 goes to Minnesota. After all, this is a win-now season for HC Brad Childress. And if QB Brett Favre is young enough at 39 for the Vikings, then Brooks should look like a teenager.

Thousands Attend McNair's Funeral
Sat Jul 11, 2009



AP reports QB Steve McNair is receiving one of the biggest funerals in recent Mississippi history. The hearse backed up next to the floor of Reed Green Coliseum on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi to deliver McNair's silvery-gray casket. McNair's wife, Mechelle, and his mother, Lucille, were escorted in by police. Former NFL QB Brett Favre sat a few rows behind the McNair family. Titans HC Jeff Fisher and QB Vince Young, Baltimore LB Ray Lewis and Chicago QB Jay Cutler also are attending. At least 4,500 turned out, though organizers had anticipated a capacity crowd of 8,000.

UFL Announces Rule Changes
Sun Jul 12, 2009



The Boston Globe reports the new United Football League (UFL) announced a bunch of "innovative" last week and among them is getting rid of the "Tuck Rule." The fumbling edict made famous in these parts by Patriots QB Tom Brady in the 2001 AFC Divisional playoffs against the Raiders makes it impossible for a quarterback to fumble if he's pulling the ball back after making a forward passing motion. In the UFL, a fumble will be ruled so long as the quarterback is not moving his arm forward to throw a pass. Another interesting UFL rule is that each team will have a chance to possess the ball in overtime. Overtime will be sudden death only after each team has possessed the ball.

NFL's Uncapped Year Unlikely to Benefit Many Players
Mon Jul 13, 2009



ESPN's John Clayton reports the NFL's uncapped year in 2010 will mean fewer benefits for players and very little free-agency signings. In an uncapped year, the minimum service time for unrestricted free agency jumps from four years to six, and a team can keep a player's rights for longer and cheaper.

Mon Jul 13, 2009



ESPN's John Clayton reports free agent WR Koren Robinson is staying in shape and waiting for a team to call. Injuries in Seattle or Green Bay could put his name on speed dial. Robinson did well in his role for Seattle last year, and he appears to have cleaned up many of off-the-field problems.
