This concussion thing will totally change the NFL within 3
years. If there is no salary cap, though, I won't be watching.

Yeah you really get the feeling that last year was the last year
of NFL football as we've all grown up knowing it... on any of a
number of levels.

I would blame it more on envy. Envy drives most of today's
societal actions.
Look at politics as a prime example: tax the hell out of wealthy
people because I envy them.
You are happy with your salary until you find out your co-worker
is making more money than you.

It is the primary motivating factor for most all of union
activities.

dang Packrat, that kind of goes with the wise saying "the love
of money is the root of all evil", I think you could also lump
power/greed in there.

Good grief:
With the addition of Gabe Camiri, the Bears have their bookend
tackles for the next decade. I like the "we need to get bigger"
philosophy for the O line. So, any truth to the rumors of Chris
Williams playing center? I think Olin Kreutz is overrated at
this point of his career; and too small. David, Oak Brook
I don't see any chance of Chris Williams starting at center this
year. If the Bears did want to give Williams a new position,
they would need an offseason to acclimate him. They don't have
an offseason this year thanks to the labor problems. So I think
their options with Williams are limited. It's possible the Bears
will have Williams learn to play the position eventually and
consider him as a potential successor to Kreutz, but it's not
something that is going to happen soon. If this team gets its
way, Kreutz is going to be snapping the ball in 2011.

Nah, just give him a pink slip and show him to the unemployment
line.

Man oh man... I hope Angelo doesn't decide to bring this guy
back on the cheap.
All indications are that his days of productive play are
effectively done. Cowboys fans can't wait to see him leave.
As for Chris Williams, I've said it before and I'll say it
again. The drafting of Gabe Carimi effectively means the end of
either Chris Williams' or Frank Omiyale's career as a Bear. With
Webb and Carimi the de facto 2011 starters and presumably a real
OG replacing Williams, we now have two backup swing OTs. We
only need one.
