sandwich"

JJ- My sources said it was lucy. Ricky was way to busy chasing
and catching every skirt that came his way. Pryor was and still
is Hysterical with his skits. They all had a bite to them, and
made you remember. Grew up in Peoria btw.

The conversation has drifted to the modern comedians. I get
very uncomfortable with their language and subject matter. I'll
take Bob Hope and Jack Benny style.

Actually the NFL and the NFLPA met with out the lawyers Tuesday
night, yesterday and today. So at least they are finally
negotiating again.
Oh and yes Richard Pryor was from Peoria but so was Sam Kinison.

That's a good sign! ;D
I love a good comic. Saw a guy at The Improv last month that
had my wife and I in tears from laughing so hard. Darned if I
can remember his name, though..having a pre-Senior brain fart.
Sam Kinison, Eddie Murphy, The Diceman, Robin Williams, Steve
Martin, Richard Pryor, Chris Rock all make me laugh that way.
After awhile, Dice can wear you out with the vulgarity.
He sure dropped off the radar though....

Bears' Martz thinking big with Bennett
Brad Biggs/Tribune reporter
It’s not surprising that Mike Martz is plotting a bigger role
for Earl Bennett.
The Chicago Bears offensive coordinator has to find something to
do with his time during the NFL’s lockout, and reviewing 2010
while looking ahead to the coming season is a big part of it.
Martz announced in a story on the Bears' team-controlled website
that Bennett will be more involved in the offense moving
forward.
Martz didn’t get much of a look at Bennett, a third-round pick
from 2008, until last season started. Bennett had arthroscopic
knee surgery that sidelined him for the majority of the
offseason program and then a hamstring injury wiped out much of
his summer.
When the sure-handed target got on the field, he produced.
Bennett finished second among wide receivers with 46 receptions
for 561 yards. That’s five less catches than Johnny Knox made,
but consider Knox was on the field for 371 more offensive snaps.
“We didn’t throw it to him enough,” Martz said on the website.
“That will be remedied. He will figure in a much larger role
than he did last year. He came to us late. He was injured. I
wasn’t really sure where he was with all the stuff. But he
established himself as a guy who needs to get a lot more balls
than he did.
“He’s extremely reliable. I know Jay (Cutler) feels comfortable
with him in the slot doing some of those things. But he should
be able to play outside for us as well.”
The Bears need more production from their wideouts, period. In
the 10 previous offenses directed by Martz, the No. 1 wide
receiver averaged 88.7 receptions for 1,256 yards. Combine Knox
and Bennett and you get 97 receptions for 1,521 yards. You get
the picture. What plans the team has for the position in free
agency remain unknown. Heck, the NFL hasn’t disclosed the
parameters for free agency so no one is certain what the pool of
players will look like at this point.
There stands a good chance the biggest contributions will have
to be made by those already on the team’s roster. That’s where
carving out more playing time for Bennett comes into play. He
started 15 games in 2009 and it could be that he’ll take playing
time away from Devin Hester in 2011. Hester was on the field for
66 percent of the offensive snaps last season. Bennett was in on
49.3 percent of the action.
Martz referenced having Bennett play inside and outside and
that’s something that has been missing -- a player with the
skill set to handle both roles. That’s what many of the true No.
1 receivers in the NFL can do. Whether or not Bennett is cut out
for a star role remains to be seen, but certainly he’s capable
of bigger and better things than he was allowed to display this
past season.
He had one 100-yard game like Knox. Bennett also had two
touchdowns in the Nov. 28 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
They complement each other well, so it won’t be surprising if
they’re the starters moving forward. There would still be plenty
of opportunities to involve Hester, and the Bears need to be
mindful of ways to get him the ball in the open field and keep
him involved with the change in rules likely to make it more
challenging for special teams returns, at least on kickoffs.

I like Wright as well. The Diceman was a one trick pony. He
had the one show that was funny as hell but couldn't follow up
on it. It is hard to stay on the edge as a comic doing that
kind of humor.
Why do you think Eddie Murphy had crap movie after crap movie
until he finally gave in and went to Disney to make mediocre
movies.
