Well thats another team done for another year.



The Penguins have done well this season considering how long they played without Crosby & Melkin. Lost 1-0 tonight to the Lightning

A feast of football





Navy will face Notre Dame in the newly constructed Aviva Stadium on Saturday 1st September 2012. The game will be a full NCAA regular season game and the outcome is expected to have a major effect on both teams National Championship prospects. Both teams have visited Dublin in the past, having played against each other in Croke Park, Dublin in November 1996. On that occasion, Notre Dame won 54-27

It will not, however, be the only football played in Dublin that weekend.


Div III team John Carroll will be making their 2nd visit to Ireland after previously playing the national team here. While Sherman Oaks (Calif.) Notre Dame and Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton and Loyola Academy from Wilmette, Illinois, and Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas, Texas will play their 2012 regular season opening game in Dublin, Ireland, on Friday, August 31.

Quarterback Caleb Hanie; running backs Garrett Wolfe and Kahlil Bell; wide receivers Devin Aromashodu and Rashied Davis; tight end Desmond Clark; center Olin Kreutz; defensive tackle Anthony Adams; outside linebackers Pisa Tinoisamoa and Nick Roach; cornerback Corey Graham; safeties Danieal Manning and Josh Bullocks; and punter Brad Maynard.

Caleb Hanie - Showed enough in the time he saw to show everyone except maybe Mike Martz that he is a more than capabe number 2. Needs to be brought back
Garrett Wolfe - Excellent special teamer but offers nothing to the team on offense. The staff has never shown the imagination to work out a way to use him properly. Wolfes time as a Bear is over.
Kahlil Bell - Could be brought back but is nothing special, just a guy
Devin Aromashodu - Ah the meatheads favourite. Another Mike Hass. Has the size needed & really should have been able to see the field but rarely did. Gone
Rashied Davis - Hopefully gets brought back excellent special teamer & showed he can still fill a need at receiver when he had a big game filling in for Earl Bennett.
Demond Clark - Has been a great servant of the Bears but spending more time inactive than not last season it look like he is no longer in the Bears plan.
Olin Kreutz - Not the player he once was but his replacement i not on the roster so look for him to be signed to a short term deal.
Anthony Adams - Needs to be brought back solid player
Pisa Tinoisamoa/Nick Roach - One of these will be brought back one won't. Hopefully Roach gets resigned.
Corey Graham - Special teams STUD. Hope we can bring him back but he gets no time on D & may want to try elsewhere.
Danieal Manning - Had his best season as a Bear once he was left in the one position however still does not make enough big plays. Would love him back but I think someone offers him more than the Bears are willing to give.
Josh Bullocks - UUGGHHH bye bye
Brad Maynard - Could be finally time to bring in a new punter that will actually challenge for the job. Richmond McGee or a rookie?

Card of the Month


Incoming from my group break on Tradingcardcentral


NFL Lock-out

UUGGHHHH the longer this lock-out goes on the less interested I'm becoming in football. Hopefully the draft can kick-start my interest. Find myself checking up on Notre Dame football more than I usuallydo & really looking forward to the college season. There will be some non Bears related posts up soon focusing on college ball(Notre Dame & Fordham) & maybe some Cubs news.
