“According to a computer program, RB Kevin Jones improves the Bears’ chances of making the playoffs by four percent.”
Wait - clearly the program must have been written by Kevin Jones.

Bentley never even played a down for the Browns, so to compare his situation to Favre’s is absolutely ridiculous.
Not to mention that nobody can even touch Favre when it comes to one’s status as a drama queen.

From the Jets article:
“And what a course it was, complete with charts, diagrams of plays, film work and pop quizzes.”
‘Much of the film work was done from the stands and included various segments of coaches from other teams.’

Wow, the Jolly thing totally blows. I was at a few home games last year and that guy really got the fans going crazy by some of his huge plays. He was a total surprise and pleasant one considering Justin Harell’s contribution to the team. What a knuckle head. Def would like to have him on the team this year after loosing Corey Williams to Cleveland and Justin Harrell with his wuss back surgery this offseason already.

Geez, if KJ improves the Bears chances of making the playoffs by 4% then the Favre drama must sway the Packers chances by at least plus/minus 10%!

haha, ya the Bears plus 4% means there only 95% from being on the top. Ill give the rest of that stellar team a 1% for just being on the field. Talk about zero offense when you loose the little bit you had in a running game, Thomas Jones/Cedric Benson and what little you had at receiver Mushin Muhammed/Bernard Berrian for Marty Booker? hah But I guess the Griese less ever failing Grossman and Orton combo will be awesome this year? If ever a team was destined to average less then 100 total yards of offense per game, this team is it.
I miss the days when the Packer and Bears were a good rivalry, now its all about our arch nemesis, the Vikings.

What I want to know is if Mangini talked about the defense the Giants used in Super Bowl 42.
THAT would be the defense I want my team to have.
