Audibles From the Bored Long Snapper
2011-06-17 15:38:00 Unless you are a fan of TheOtherSports (shameless plug) I'm not sure what you're doing with your weekends. Taking the wife to the circus? Watching the kids hit a ball off a tee? Nonsense. The U.S. Open is this weekend! Four Gold Cup quarterfinal matches, including the United States meeting Jamaica at RFK Sunday at 3! Cup racing at Michigan! A full slate of MLS action! Or you put ProFootball up on your screen and keep hitting refresh until things get resolved in the NFL. DaBearsBlog Design Next week DaBearsBlog and the entire ChicagoNow network are undergoing severe design changes. Since I've not done any of the necessary work entailed in such changes, things will be messy in these parts...

Audibles From the Lockout Snapper
2011-06-09 20:26:00 A Sad Story About My FandomI have a $200 Delta voucher that is burning a hole in my pocket. In normal years, in any other of the past ten years, I would already have booked a weekend in Chicago. But I can't. So I spent the entire morning looking for flights to the New York Red Bulls (yes, kid, me love the futbol) opposing cities in September and October. I wonder how much revenue the city of Chicago - the hotels, restaurants, bars, tourist attractions - is losing with each day this lockout continues. There's a piece that should appear in the dailies.Joe Theismann Defends Jay CutlerHere's the article. Who cares?Santana Moss Rumors? Really?PFT picked up on a Larry Mayer...
Pre-Draft Audibles From the Long Snapper
2011-04-26 17:17:00 Here's my draft week plan. I'll have threads up for each of the draft rounds and then I'll go and find all the information I can on each of the players selected by the Chicago Bears. (Saturday might be a bit trickier as I'll be on the golf course.) I'm hoping they are all offensive linemen. MARTZ REJECTS CONTRACT EXTENSION PFT reported a day or so ago that Mike Martz rejected a one-year contract extension that would have kept him as the offensive coordinator of the Bears throughout the term of Lovie Smith's tenure. Why did he reject it? Because it included no pay raise. (Dave Toub rejected a similar offer.) These rejections are not substantial but they are telling. ...

It brings people together. It galvanizes cities. And during the tough times in this economy ... I'm not saying sports is the elixir, but it kind of helps people just have some fun in tough times.""This game has been everything to me, personally," Angelo said. "I love this game. I've done everything I've could to respect the game, to make it better, like you want to do with anything you're a part of in your life."That's the...

For the first time since it's initial debut, here comes the third Audibles in a single week.Chris Harris/Major Wright - Bears Weakness to WatchThe Bears have put no starters on IR this season and are heading into the NFC Championship Game with only one player listed on the injury report: Chris Harris. Harris, who Peter King named to his All-Pro team, said to reporters this week that it would take "a miraculous act of God" to keep him from suiting up. If he struggles to stay on the field, the Bears will be relying on the oft-lost in coverage (but solid on contact) Major Wright to control one of...
Audibles From the Long Snapper: Bears Edition
2011-01-06 21:24:00 Method to Angelo's Madness?Dan Pompei writes an interesting piece in the Trib, analyzing the appropriation of finances over the past year that enabled Jerry Angelo to build an intriguing roster of bona fide stars and workmanlike role players. The Bears got more out of players this year because part of their vision was to improve the coaching and make a re-commitment to player development. In the past, it's possible that some of the young players who contributed this year never would have seen the field. This time, they were given opportunity and better coaching.That the Bears ended up with is an effective blend of high-priced players and low-priced ones, experienced vets and developing young guys.I agree with Pompei for the...

2010-10-28 18:37:00 Garza Returns to Right GuardBrad Biggs is reporting that Roberto Garza will return to right guard position in Toronto, giving the Bears their 412th different offensive line alignment in 2010. In replacing Edwin Williams, I think Garza-Webb gives the Bears their best chance on the right side. (I don't think Webb should move from right tackle for the rest of the season. I like the kid's potential.) Lost in the stat-heavy, Sandra Bullock movie world of perimeter blocking is the fact that the Bears have been getting blown off the ball in the middle of their line.You Mean, Like, When We Were Winning?In separate articles, Jay Cutler welcomes the involvement of Chester Taylor and Matt Forte in the passing game...

Guards make their money run blocking. Tackles earn their money pass blocking. Bears offensive line coach Mike Tice said Wednesday that in his opinion, Williams is a great knee bender who is a better run blocker now than a pass protector. And anyone who saw...

2010-09-15 02:11:00 Hillenmeyer on Injured ReserveHunter Hillenmeyer's 2010 season has met its end as the Bears placed him on IR with an undisclosed illness believed to be concussion-related. If Nick Roach is unable to play in Dallas, that would leave Brian Iwuh, talented but inexperienced, as the only backup linebacker on the active roster. It's a sad day for a good guy but my favorite part of this story is the names of the guys trying out at Halas Hall today: "Marcus Buggs (Vanderbilt), Blaze Soares (Hawaii), Nate Triplett (Minnesota) and Donovan Woods (Oklahoma State) all had tryouts." Those all sound like movie characters.Too Early To Start Thinking About 2011?The Bears might have one of the league's easiest schedules in 2011, as...
The (Injured) Long Snapper Hits the NFC North
2010-08-24 19:20:00 THE CHICAGO BEARS SIGNED TODD COLLINS and it's a wise move. I'd like to see Collins log some serious minutes this weekend against the Cardinals as the Bears were essentially running out the clock after Cutler's exit from the Raiders game. Collins also sounds like a pretty confident guy, "It's a hard offense to learn, especially for a young guy, and I have seven years in it," he said. "It's not exactly the same but I feel pretty good about learning it in a shorter amount of time." Nothing is lost if the organization spends another year developing Caleb Hanie to be Jay Cutler's long-term backup. LAST YEAR THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS were one of the best passing offenses in the league....

2010-08-17 20:09:00 No Backup on the HorizonThe Bears have been approaching every backup quarterback within a hundred miles of the United States to join the roster and all have declined. Why? Because apparently Jerry and Lovie are refusing to commit a roster spot to Todd Collins or Kerry Collins or Josh McCown, players unwilling to battle Mike Teel for the right to run the mid-week scout team. If the Bears are serious about bringing in players of a professional caliber, they have to pay them what a professional makes and move Caleb Hanie down on the depth chart to start the 2010 season. Otherwise, they'll risk entering the campaign with a health and experience concern being one missed blocking assignment away from...

NFL franchises are about to invest huge percentages of their salary caps into unproven commodities who most likely won't be able to make an on-field impact until the middle of the season.

2010-02-12 08:10:00 Panthers Won't Franchise PeppersFlorio is reporting at PFT that due to the exorbitant cost to the organization ($21.8 million in 2010) the Panthers will choose to let Julius Peppers wade in free agent waters. While the move would improve this organization in 2010, I'm not quite sure the Bears are an elite defensive end from being in the Super Bowl and that's the kind of place I imagine Peppers will end up. If he were to come to Chicago, I'd get very excited at the prospect of Peppers starting opposite Alex Brown. So would Rod Marinelli.Omiyale to Right Tackle?

Marshall will be trade bait come early March and should fetch a sum that includes a number one draft pick. While we'd all love to see the Bears get involved, there may just be too many competitive teams with a number one (Baltimore, Miami) for it to happen. That begs the question: do the Bears have anybody on the roster that might interest Denver?Jeremy Bates Salutes JayVaughn McClure has some interesting and inspiring quotes from Jeremy Bates on Jay Cutler. But the part that interested me is the conclusion:Pressed about the Bears'...

2010-01-08 18:25:00 The Case Against Jeremy BatesDavid Haugh makes the case that the Bears can not afford to put someone as unproven as Jeremy Bates in charge of the offense. And while I understand it is a calculated risk, at some point every coach on earth becomes something for the first time. Referring to him as a "football Doogie Howser" - while obviously moronic - is also incorrect. Bates has done everything right, working his way up through the coaching ladder in a nearly decade-long career. His hiring would make Jay Cutler a more comfortable quarterback. That makes it a sound hire. (Side note: Using Mike Martz as an example of a stabilizing force is a sure fire way to drain all...

Kreutz has declined exponentially over the past three seasons and his three million dollar price tag is simply too expensive. If Josh Beekman is the future at the position, the future may begin in 2010. There was one very interesting tidbit in the piece:During the Bears' Dec. 13...

"It's still a playmaker's game and when you have a situation to make a play, we need to."As far as why (it's happening), there is a lot of reasons why. That's why you're an NFL player - paid to make plays."Translation: our defensive struggles are not my fault. It is Al Afalava's fault. It is Kevin Payne's fault. But not mine.

2009-12-03 07:50:00 Chris Williams Moved to Left TackleLovie Smith officially acknowledged today that the team has moved Chris Williams to left tackle. Of course, in typical Chicago Bears fashion, they waited until Orlando Pace could be embarrassed and subsequently injured by the fierce Vikings defensive front. Jay Cutler's blindside immediately becomes the only thing worth watching against the St. Louis Rams. On a side note, I think Steve Rosenbloom is out of line in questioning whether Orlando Pace quit on Lovie Smith Sunday. Pace is one of the greatest left tackles of the post-LT era and he's done more than enough in this sport to warrant a pass on being dominated by a player in his prime. Rosenbloom loves the team, it's...

Nobody cares what this man thinks about ophthalmology (he's an ophthalmologist) let alone how a pro football organization manages the quarterback position. The Bears stink at developing quarterbacks.

Why doesn't someone write an expose on this fundamentally unfair practice by the league?"Still Believe We Can Pull It Out" Ted Phillips thinks the Bears' season is not dead. Let's call this one of several things that Ted and I disagree about.

2009-10-20 05:23:00 There's a new debate in town regarding whether the Bears are a running or throwing team. Well, they can throw it really well and they can't run it at all. So what am I missing? Where's the debate? I've heard the argument for balance but it just doesn't hold water. If you can move the ball, you can move the ball. How you do it doesn't matter. For those who suggest we'll need to run the ball in December, fine. But it's not December. So let's win some games in the meantime.I find this headline funny: "Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith won't hit panic button".

This coming off a weekend where media and fans seem to be pining for the quarterbacks and running backs of yesteryear. Why? Because nobody in Chicago seems to notice that our defense gives up third-and-longers faster than the French gave up France to the Nazis while our offense WILL carry us into the playoffs.

Recipe #28: Red Snapper Veracruz, Or Huachinango a la Veracruzana
2008-03-02 22:45:00 Hmmmm, crispy fried parrot. But wait, doesn't the recipe call for red snapper? Hahahahaha, ONLY kidding.No, we are not going to be frying up the above little buggers in a dish & eating them. (Now I'm adventurous all right, but there are limits to what even I will eat. That would just be sick, my friends. And what kind of person do you think I am to actually suggest such a thing?! ;-) The only way I'd even consider eating roast parrot is if it was the only thing on the menu at the "casa del desert island." And no, that's not the name of a new café I'm recommending you visit, that's just around the block. ;-) After 100 days of being shipwrecked & stranded on a desert island, & eating nothing but chalky coconuts all day (& night!), hell, you might reconsider too, if our fine feathered friend decided to come in for a landing. ;-) But until that time, I prefer to eat other types of birds!)No, we're not making anything quite that exotic today, although "Red Snap...
Gulf Coast Snapper Fishing

One of the biggest issues with fishing for pinfish is the snappers than snag up what was supposed to draw the pinfish. Now many people see this as a problem since they are trying to catch bait and not a snapper.But this is not about pinfish or even baitfish, this is about snapper. All along the Gulf Coast, snapper is popular. Many restaurants are named after various snapper species.From chum line fishing to using those pinfish mentioned earlier, fishing for snapper can be a very fulfilling day, and what's even better, is when the day over, and you get that snapper home and cooked, it just makes it all worth while.Snapper can be found almost anywhere up along the coast line, but especially down near the mangroves at the everglades. Also near by, you will probably find a plethora of other species including the ever popular grouper, but just remember that when fishing, if you ...

Snapper with Orange and Tomato Sauce
2008-01-16 02:29:00 My daughter doesn't take fruits, not even fruit juice. Sometimes, if she is kind to me, she would take a tiny bite to try but most of the time, she simply says "No."I still try to get her to take fruits but I'm not worry at all because she is just like my son when he was her age. Now, he eat fruits everyday and and tell me what fruits he would like to have.I was pleasantly surprised that she loved this fish dish.

And they’re just some of the attractions of Red Snapper Bar & Grill. Set along a 50-metre road frontage, next door to Chaweng Regent Beach Resort in the heart of Chaweng is one of Samui’s most extraordinary restaurants. And the reasons why it’s so special become apparent immediately. One reason is the many choices of where to sit. Maybe along the 20-seater exterior terrace that’s shielded from the pavement by a long line of bullrushes? They’re growing from pots immersed in an aquaduct, which spans the entire frontage (you can still see the passersby clearly, but they can’t see you, unless they stop and stare). Or perhaps in the 60-seater air-conditioned restaurant itself with its clean, modern lines and various water-features, including a unique pebbly waterfall that cascades down the side of ... |
