There’s a budding bromance between Bears QB Jay Cutler and TE Greg Olsoen.
CB Zackary Bowman left Bears practice on Wednesday with a hamstring injury.
Bears DL Marcus Harrison returned to practice Tuesday after being on NFI, due to being TDF.
LB Brian Urlacher says it has been two years since he felt normal.
Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan is raving about QB Matthew Stafford.
Lions TE Casey FitzSimmons has been out of action with a sprained ankle, but it’s not a high ankle sprain.
WR Bryant Johnson remains on the NFI list after crashing a golf cart in June.
DT Grady Jackson, however, has been elevated from NFI, and he is practicing.
Packers NT Ryan Pickett, on the nature of this year’s training camp: “This is the most physical camp I’ve been through so far, and it’s only been, how many, three days, four days? It’s been physical, man. It’s like coach has us back in the
old-school days. It’s helping, though. It’s helping everybody out, I
think. We’re enjoying it, but it’s rough.”
Aaron Kampman, who’s adjusting from the position of defensive end in the 4-3 to linebacker in Green Bay’s new 3-4 scheme, was tough against the run on Tuesday.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy seemed to be pleased by a rash of fights during a Tuesday night practice: “I probably shouldn’t even say it. But we were 6-10 last year and we didn’t have a damn fight in training camp. I guess we’re off to a hell of a start.”
Ted Thompson does a good job as G.M. of the Packers . . . except when it comes to evaluating punters.
The Vikings signed RB Antone Smith to fill the spot created by the release of WR Aundrae Allison.
The depature of Allison had been a long time coming; last August, offensive coordinator Darell Bevell said that he’s a “cowboy” and a “free rider,” and that Allison is “his own worst enemy.”
When catching punts, WR Percy Harvin apparently is reminding folks of Troy Williamson: “I think he misjudged that one that he caught right off the top of his
forehead,” special teams coordinator Brian Murphy said regarding Harvin. “He
doesn’t normally catch like that. We’ll get him to catch the way
everyone else catches.”
DE Jared Allen recently spent two hours after practice on the field with military personnel.
“When catching punts, WR Percy Harvin apparently is reminding folks of Troy Williamson: “I think he misjudged that one that he caught right off the top of his forehead,” special teams coordinator Brian Murphy said regarding Harvin. “He doesn’t normally catch like that. We’ll get him to catch the way everyone else catches.”
That is from like days ago…
I hope to never see Percy Harvin and Troy Williamson in the same sentence again.
Maybe this is just a coincidence but it has also been at least 2 years since Brian Urlacher impregnated a member of the future Mothers of Bear’s Linebackers club(editors note: That we know of).
WR Percy Harvin apparently is reminding folks of Troy Williamson: “I think he “misjudged” that one that he caught right off the top of his forehead,” special teams coordinator Brian Murphy said
That was a good laugh! He couldn’t even raise his arms to protect his head, he let the ball hit him in the helmet!
Sounds like the vikings are still happy they “outsmarted” the Patriots to get this “return man”.
Now comparisons to Troy Williamson should only apply to on the football field. Williamson was a far better citizen and had fewer off the field issues than Harvin.
So far Harvin has
1) gone to his job interview(the combine) on drugs,
2) failing to show up for his first day on the job due to “dehydration”,
3) failing to be at the rookie symposium (his first meeting),
4) failing to show up for training camp on time,
5) having his rule breaking contract rejected by the league.
The Comedy Channel could have a show just on the minnesota vikings.
Harvin is the current comic star outshining even Brad Childress’ as an incompetent dolt.
1. Something tells me this isn’t the first time Harvin’s had balls bouncing off his forehead.
2. His name is Greg OlsEn, a name you should probably learn, seeing as I think he’s destined for a Pro Bowl season
3. It’s been two weeks now, and (aside from when that b!tch Wade started a gossip-fest) the only stories you have to report on the Bears are these training camp one-liners?
And Queens fans wonder why I spend so much time bashing their faggy team?
It’s because Florio gets a stiff little vienna sausage every time he talks about the Dikes, so he does it 29,572 times a week.
Meanwhile, coverage on the other North teams is woefully inadequate.
For example, just for the Bears, MoFlo has neglected some recent gems, which are just as consequential–if not more so–than the dumb tripe about Harvin’s contract, throwaway references to She-iancoe, or the Williams Weather Girls (“it’s raining men, alleluia…”) legal fight to hide their steroid use.
Here are a few examples:
MoFlo SHOULD love dirt like this:
Cedric Benson talks some sh!t on the Bears and Thomas Jones–says Bengals “hit the jackpot” with him, and that the Bears are “sorry they let him go”: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/bears/1701034,CST-SPT-bside05.article
Cutler takes note of Eli’s big payday:
http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/bears/1703293,jay-cutler-bears-contract-eli-manning-080509.article
Tinoisamoa is laying some big hits in camp, fitting in nicely with the Bears:

Todd Haley instrumental in pulling off Cutler trade:
http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2009/08/in_a_roundabout_way_todd_haley.html
Other issues/topics woefully neglected:
-Cutler-Bennett reunion
-Tillman’s injury, his replacement, Bowman, has looked great, but now HE’S hurt…
-Kevin Jones rebound
-Marinelli’s impact in camp
and so on.
You queens fans want me stop “trolling” your posts the way your mom trolls my scrote…?
Then petition Florio to give the Bears (and the other North teams) a little of their due coverage…
I do understand that the Queens are infected with scandal and drama and hype–like they are every year–but it doesn’t mean the Flowers (powers + Florio) that be have to turn this into QueenFootballTalk.com, does it?
First Tillman, now Bowman. Maybe Cutler will have to play corner. Interesting how the only entries about the Pack are in the NFC North one-liners (no one really cares about a 6-10 team), forcing Bob to post his anti-Viking babble on posts about a team that is relevant.
Your an idiot.. Cutler is a QB, not a CB.
@Bob_Nelson-
I agree with 1, 2 and 3, but for #4, where’s Raji? We can’t pick on the Vikes for Harvin being late to camp when our own guy hasn’t signed his deal yet.
As for the contract issue, it was minor enough that it was fixed by morning. Put another way, it’s a stretch to bash the guy for something probably beyond his control.
I’m as much of a Viking hater as the next guy, but we should be smarter about the shots we take.
Note to queens fans (before the gaseous braggadociousness begins):
Receiving the preponderance of press coverage during the off-season–including being the subject of Florio’s gay fixation–is NOT a GOOD thing.
It really only means to things:
1. That your team is so full of drama, dysfunction and scandal, that it continues to be a veritable goldmine of gossip-fodder bullsh!t for Florio and his ilk
2. That your team continues to be the Hypequeens
So once again, a gentle reminder:
Games are not won in the media, or on message boards, or in the power rankings.

Pssst! It’s primarily a bad thing to have stories on this site. They’re mostly rumors and pot-shots. Take a look around: contract disputes, stupid Twitter pissing contests, QB controversies, etc.
I’m very happy with the ratio of Packers to Vikings posts on this site.
Dude Dewey, you really have nothing goin on huh bro. Seriously what the hell is your deal?! HAHA Get over it no one covers the Pack cause no one cares about the 5th market hick town. If that squad wasn’t owned by the fans they would have been long gone long time ago.
HAHA Bob you’re an idiot. Where’s Raji you dolt? Oh yeah he’s holding out and is too fat to play even if he wasn’t. And the contract? HAHA you really are an idiot reaching for straws, it was a clerical error easily corrected the next day you dip shit! HAHA seriously go eat some cheese.

Too fat to play?
Vikings:
Phil Loadholt – 332 lbs
Artis Hicks – 335 lbs
Bryant McKinnie – 335 lbs
Ryan Cook – 328 lbs
And just for shits and giggles:
Albert Haynesworth – 350 lbs
Kris Jenkins – 360 lbs
Shaun Rogers – 350 lbs
Are Haynesworth, Jenkins and Rogers “too fat to play”? Because they were Pro Bowlers last year, so… I think they played.

since there is AT LEAST one gay reference in every single one of your posts i tend to believe you are the one with the gay fixation…maybe some latent and closet issues there chief?
you try to come off as intelligent by using $500 words but your whole obsession with gay jokes makes you sound like an ignorant juvenile…come on outta that closet and get some new material you douche
