Bears and NFL Talk Thread LIV: Khalil Mack's a Bear!

[Blue Liner]

You'd be surprised. The squatter laws in NYC are ridiculous. If she was his girlfriend and he allowed to stay at her place ... she could stick around until the law forces her out. It could take months.

That's why I won't rent my SD apartment when I'm in NYC for most of the year. Too big of a hassle. I'd rather have my friends stay for free when visiting. If they offer to pay for a cheap utility bill or bottle of wine ... even better.

San Diego? South Dakota?

 

[ChiHawks10]

San Diego? South Dakota?

Has to be Sudan.

 

[Panzerspitze]

San Diego? South Dakota?

Süd Deutschland (Süddeutschland) is the only correct answer.

DeMarco Murray retires at age 30.

Wow. RBs get beat to hell, and he has had a ton of injury issues, but didn't expect that announcement.

Roquan Smith is not at the start of the Bears rookie camp today. He has not signed his rookie deal yet.

Can't blame Roquan, but can't blame the Bears either. Only 2 out of the top 9 drafted players have signed.

What's the point of the rookie wage scale if the top picks haven't signed yet?

It has to do with other contractual language.

That was the case for Joey Bosa. I think this is just agents waiting to see where the other top draftees are slotted financially. Unfortunately, the Bears start a week early this year ...

My mistake ... I guess it is the laguage. He'll probably sign on the 19th.

 

[BK]

What language are they fighting over?

 

[piteus]

What language are they fighting over?

I don't know ... something about how much compensation he receives IF cut (or something like that). Something minor. I'm sure it will be resolved in a day or two.

 

[Illinihockey]

What language are they fighting over?

Contract off sets. Basically if they cut him and he gets signed by another team they have to pay him and he gets to keep the money on the new contract. The Bears would want the new contract off set against what they are paying him.

Cant believe its already start of football season

Cant wait until Sept when NFL is in full swing and Hawks season starts approaching

Thought the same thing when I was first reminded that players report for camp this week. This summer is just flying by, man.

They always do, unfortunately. Winter seemingly drags on forever, and summer ends in a flash.

Unless your BWC, then it's the opposite.

Why? I know you are a big Bears and Hawks fan ... but I get the feeling they cause you more agony than happiness. Do the Bears and Hawks ever make you happy minus a championship? That's a lot of pain.

 

[Blue Liner]

BWC would rather feel pain than nothing at all.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Remember when BWC posted a picture of his ideal weather day. It looked dreary, no sun, cold, etc .

This is opposite of reality

Brutal hot , humid and sunny summers drag on forever while Fall and Winter are so short

Different for all of us. Chicago basically has two seasons, though, these days. Winter and summer.

I don't mind fall weather, though. Love having the windows open, sleeping with cold, 55-60 degree air blowing in. Bonfires, smores, etc. And as a fisherman, some of my best fishing is from September - December.

I just prefer warmer to colder. Give me 75-80 and sunny every single day, with 55-65 degree nights, and I'm in heaven.

 

[BK]

Summer, Fall, and Winter are great, Spring sucks.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Spring, summer, fall. Winter is trash. Fall you have a lot of sports starting, playoff baseball, decent weather etc. Spring to summer you have NHL playoffs starting, baseball, solid weather. Winter you have holidays then 3-4 months of misery. Walk to the store and your face hurts type misery.
