Probably would have been cheaper just to pay the bar tab and be
done with it in the first place

So many of these pro athletes think they should never have to
pay for anything when they're out on the town.
I doubt Garrett Wolfe would get his bar tab comp'd in a Chicago
bar, much less South Florida.

I hope he has a monster year behind an improved OL.

tired of the "I'm entitled" mindset of athletes in general.. why
well paid athletes don't pay like everybody still a mystery to
me...

APAll first round picks get noticed, but Bears tackle Gabe
Carimi looks destined to get extra attention in Chicago because
of his upbringing.
After all, he is the “Bear Jew.”
Carimi’s nickname comes from the movie Inglourious Basterds, but
it’s not the first nickname he had because of his faith. In
college, where he once fasted before a game against Purdue
because of Yom Kippur, he was called the “Jewish Hammer.”
The Chicago Jewish community is fired up with Carimi’s arrival
in town. He has been written about plenty by Jewish
organizations and was featured in a kickoff parade of the Great
Jewish Family Festival on Sunday. The locals think he’ll be the
best Jewish player since Sid Luckman. (O.J. Simpson? Not a
Jew.)
“It shows that Jews are not just scrawny little people,” Dovid
Weingrow, 11, told the Chicago Tribune. “Jews can go far [in
sports].”
I’m proof that Jews can still be scrawny little people and not
go far in sports. (Although Florio would say I don’t count
since I haven’t been to temple in my life.)
Carimi, on the other hand, embraces his faith.
“I find it extremely easy to balance my religion and my job,”
Carimi said.

You really wonder if he has enough gas left in the tank. Might
be a nice assistant coach

Wonder if he can take Wolfe's spot on ST's.

Yeah... I understand he could just as easily turn out to be
another Orlando Pace situation.
But the reality is that our WRs have stalled on assimilating the
Martz' offense, and we need some way (or someone) to help them
step it up. It may be that we need more talent at the position,
or it may be the talent we have just needs a little more time.
Either way, at the end of last year, when it counted most, our
air game wasn't working. Bringing in the WR who arguably had
more success in Mad Mike's system than any other in history
certainly couldn't hurt... whether that be as an active
on-field contributor or in more of a player-coach role.

Just because he HAD success doesnt mean he still could. That is
the question.
