Several weeks ago, a group of Raiders fans wasted spent some money on a billboard aimed at getting owner Al Davis to hire a General Manager.
Now, someone in Chicago has plunked down three G’s on a billboard aimed at getting the Bears to get rid of the G.M. they have. And their coach, too.
Per the Associated Press, a group called Bears Fans United has financed the project, and they’re hoping to come up with another $13,000 in order to buy full-page newspaper ads.
It’s an admirable project, but we think they need to raise another $20 million to trigger a full house cleaning, since the McCaskey family would need that much or more to fund the various buyouts.
The more likely outcome, in our view, is that G.M. Jerry Angelo will provide coach Lovie Smith with an up-close look at the undercarriage of the bus, and then Angelo will hire a new coach.
After all, someone has to take the blame for the horrendous performance of quarterback Jay Cutler — and it’s either the guy who thought it made sense to make the trade or the guy who wasn’t able to coach him up, or both.
Bear Fans United is a bunch of mouth breathing losers. They were exposed on 670 The Score earlier in the week. I’m being nice because it’s Christmas Day.
No Florio you were right the first time, you should un-scratch wasted.

Bear Fans United is a bunch of mouth breathing losers
——————————————————
so……typical fans?
I still say Cutler is sandbagging the team to get Lovie fired and bring in Shanahan.
THE BEARS DO NEED TO CLEAN HOUSE STARTING WITH THEIR OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR THEN ANGELO & LOVIE ……. THEY HAD CEDRIC BENSON AND COULDNT DO ANYTHING WITH HIM
I emailed this to you last week… It is funny though, people saying others are wasting money…. While they are surely wasting their own money on things they enjoy. Our country is free, to speak, to enjoy and to waste money as we see fit. To say that all Bears Fans United are “losers” shows either immaturity or a lack of intelligence.
I’m a Bears fan, yes, I’m not a Lovie Smith fan and I for one am proud that Bears fans got together in action and produced an effort worth media attention…. While others post on websites lame “breathing losers” and the like. This is the difference between the ones that move the world forward and those that complain about how others are moving it forward.
Hey Bears, PLEASE keep Lovie. Us Buccaneer fans need Cowher more than you do. Radio blows.
13,000 dollars… no that wouldn’t feed any needy people. let’s spend it on a newspaper ad to try to get some guy who we don’t even know in real life fired.
Over a game played by multi millionaires whom we also don’t really know.
Cutler is the problem….you can change coach’s….you can change GM’s…but as long as you have this loser Cutler as QB, you are doomed to failure….
This guy is a Jeff George clone……10 great plays then at the 3 yard line he’ll make a terrible decision…..
Chicago gave up Orton and 2 #1′s for this joke…..Denver is laughing all the way to the playoffs…
“After all, someone has to take the blame for the horrendous performance of quarterback Jay Cutler -”
Or a novel idea.. put the blame on Jay Cutler. c’mon man, you have to put effort into tossing 25 int’s.
Jerry Angelo has to throw Lovie under the bus because he see’s the bus himself. He made that dumb ass trade for Cutler. Will someone think back and realize that Cutler wasn’t but sooo much with Shanny coaching him! OH YEAH, WASN’T SHANNY THINKING OF GETTING RID OF CUTLER BEFORE THE BUS RAN OVER HIM!!!!
“I emailed this to you last week… It is funny though, people saying others are wasting money…. While they are surely wasting their own money on things they enjoy. Our country is free, to speak, to enjoy and to waste money as we see fit.”
And the Bears ownership is free to spend it’s money as it see’s fit on whomever they see fit to spend it on. regardless of a retarded bill board.See how that works?
And I would hazard to say that if these fans were as good at their own jobs as the guys they are trying to get fired, raising 13,000 dollars would not be an issue.
Imagine if Angelo took out a billboard every time one of these guys missed a spot on the floor with their mop.
Umm…how about Jay Cutler taking the fall. Put his a$$ on the bench and maybe shake him up a little bit. Anyone behind him surely deserves the chance to get some playing time at this point.
I haven’t heard ANYONE bring up the fact that maybe Cutler’s diabetes(sp?) could be impacting him??? Not an excuse, but it could be.
Chi Chi Land is a tough guy land. Cutler and Lovie need to stay and work this out in tough guy fashion.
Really, we’re blaming Cutler’s diabetes now? Has he missed a practice, game or even PART of a practice or game because of it?
Blame Turner, whose offense has never been any good regardless of who is under center. Blame Smith, who’s still living off one trip to the Super Bowl and doesn’t even look vaguely interested on the sidelines. Blame Angelo for extending the contracts of the two previously mentioned parties, for drafting like crap and for holding onto veteran players way, way past their prime.
Then, blame Cutler, who still has elite physical skills but is clearly suffering from poor decision making that stems from a lack of confidence at times and too much confidence in his arm at others.
But leave his diabetes out of it, will ya? That’s just a lazy argument.
Overrated.
Great idea. Maybe us Cowboy fans should try it. Let’s put some pressure on Jerry and see if he’ll fire his GM…old whatshisname.
$3,000 and coming up with another $13,000. I guess peoiple in the mid-west are not that strapped for cash. Great prioritizing going on there. $13,000 could have went to help a bunch of families out on Xmas, instead a bunch of go-no-wheres will do what they can for their team. So much for actually giving a care about anything that actually matters in life. You all deserve to get Mangini on a life long contract without a buyout provision.
People lets just face the facts the Bears are a loser organization. Always has been always will be period.
“Bear Fans United is a bunch of mouth breathing losers.”
such harsh name calling in this place
Merry Christmas, People!
In my humble opinion, acquiring Cutler was a mistake, but let’s look at offensive coordinator. If I’m not mistaken it’s Norv Turner. How long has he been there? How many Super-Bowl-magicians has he turned out? Lovie can only work with what he is given; that doesn’t excuse him, however. The Specialists, the Offensive and Defensive Coaches are to take responsibility. Where is the killer notoriety of the “Bears’ Defense”? It used to strike fear in the hearts of quarterbacks around the league. Where is the simple “Jam It Down Your Throat” Offense, that would wear down opposing defenses with time of possession, and ball control? Where is that? Mr. DeAngelo, enough with the infantile prima-donnas. Get us a FOOTBALL team, or find someone who will!
WAKE UP CHICAGO. Da Bears suck. Always have – always will. They got lucky one year.

—————-
Fail. Norv Turner is the HC of the Chargers. Ron Turner is the Bears OC.
Ron Turner on the Bears web site. Apparently, he’s doing a heck of a job.
http://www.chicagobears.com/team/coach.asp?coach_id=3
It is the GM’s and Lovie’s responsibility to pick Great Players for the Bears. It is their responsiblity to then, place these athletes in positions that help the Bears to win Championships! They have failed miserably! We had a return man that scared opposing teams to death…they made him a receiver. I do not even want to discuss the QB situation…my point is…if you do not win…YOU ARE OUT OF HERE!
3 years is ENOUGH!
Merry Christmas Bears fans!!! The Grinch(Favre) is coming to step on Christmas cheer in Chicago Monday. Don’t take it personal,we need to get back on track! Good luck to you guys maybe next year!
Lovie and Angelo should be fired for running Ron Rivera out of town, more than for bringing Cutler here. That’s where the Bear’s big, bad defense went. To San Diego.
How about dumping Ron Turner, a dork of the highest order as one of the worst offensive coordinators in the NFL. Then kick Smith and Angelo out the door after him.
Yeah, you have to blame some of this on Cutler, but the team was out-coached and out-played this season – a huge understatement. Many of my co-workers live out in Denver, and like us “mouth breathing losers” here in Chicago, they couldn’t wait to rid themselves of their QB. To us, Orton was an uneven commodity, not worthy of a starting position. Yet my Denver cohorts were happy to see “cry baby” Cutler leave as well.
Who knew. Perhaps it says a lot about a change of scenery. Heck, we’re cursed here in Chicago!
Well, Cutler does have 25 picks. The Bears have 9 losses and counting. If my math is correct, Peyton Manning has 15 picks and his Colts have no losses. And also, doesn’t Manning have a real offensive line and real wide receivers? And maybe the Colts have a defense that can actually stop the opponent a time or two during the game. My point being, give Cutler a better line and a defense and maybe he would have less picks and less losses. He has been running for his life all season. And Denver sports writers are starting to long for Cutler’s ability to win a game or two for you since Orton is only a game manager. All of the Bronco’s wins are because of Denver’s defense and Brandon Marshall’s ability to get more out of a play than most receiver’s should. And definitely more than any of Cutler’s receivers can get out of a play. Blame Angelo for no depth and a lack of talent on this team. Enough of the Cutler bashing until he is given some tools!
$3,000 and coming up with another $13,000. I guess peoiple in the mid-west are not that strapped for cash. Great prioritizing going on there. $13,000 could have went to help a bunch of families out on Xmas, instead a bunch of go-no-wheres will do what they can for their team. So much for actually giving a care about anything that actually matters in life.

What have you done to help others? What about the multi-millionaires who play football and blow their money “making it rain” in nightclubs.
Can criticize them for spending their money foolishly, but don’t try and say they could help others with it.
Have you been to a homeless soup kitchen on Christmas day or Thanksgiving? Not what you see on the news. Majority of people in those places made a decision somewhere in their life to get there. Have been 3 times and saw fights twice, just stopped going after that.
Just like my neighbors that recently had their house foreclosed, they stopped paying rent 6 months ago and waited for the bank to kick them out. Meanwhile he goes out and gets a huge big screen. No reason to save or rework the mortgage.
Make your own luck or wait for Pres. Obama and liberals to help you. Not getting sympathy from me.
Instant gratification is too slow for most people.
How about getting at least ONE guy with the ability to catch the ball. That might help them out more than a new GM.
I think BFU is a great idea.. Actually it has spread pretty quickly and donations are going up.
The controversy has just helped with the propagation.
BFU should thank those 2 buffoons on Score for all the “exposure”, it seems that BFU site got a spike on donations after the show on 670 . Myself included
Endy9 got it right. Who fired Rivera and replaced with Babich. Big bonehead move. San diego has the defense that the Bears should. Turner is the worst member on Bears payrioll- run him out of town.
Oh how people are so influenced by a few fans who actually do what they say instead of doing what the rest of the sheep do.
Kudos to the fans who finally did something rather then hang out on a message board and riducule one another for actually doing something.
“Kudos to the fans who finally did something”
What have they actually done? Paid for a billboard?
Seriously, do you think that means anything to the ownership?
You want to get their attention? Quit buying tickets and merchendise. The answer isn’t in SPENDING money, it’s in not spending it so it doesn’t go into their pockets.

Yeah, because the Bears have only been around a few years. Go back to making fries. I’m guessing your all time favorite teams “this year” is the Colts? Last year it was the Steelers? Are you Snoop Dog?

This poster has NO business even being here. Dude, if you don’t know the name of one of the more prominent Head Coaches in the NFL, you shouldn’t be saying a word here.
Get back on the porch with the puppies and leave the big boys be.
Howie Handles – what does he handle? Dog excrement? Your comments are as intelligent as you are. Duh. WAKE UP CHICAGO. Da Bears suck. Always have – always will. They got lucky one year. Your comments aside, they still suck. Cutler or no Cutler.

Go ahead and lay it on. As an extremely disappointed and fooled Bears fan I want you to unleash hell on us on MNF. This so I know Lovie WILL be booted. Hopefully Angelo is also in tow. What happened to the Bears?!
Thanks for the correction, Alewatcher!
Turner, given the talent (and he DOES have some in the Offense, somewhere!) has the unique capacity to shove victories into the Jaws of Defeat mor often than average, don’t you think? Cutler aside; ineptitude aside; Smith and DeAngelo aside — who is running this team? The string-puller is McCaskey, I don’t care what the stories tell you. He counts on the loyalties of these frustrated fans, to fill his pockets. Please correct me if I am mistaken (it’s happened once already TODAY!), but aren’t there bonus clauses in Pro contracts, and performance bonuses as well?
If that is true, then it’s all about the money, and we here in Chicago are gullible enough to over-look that minor detail. We are wishing for a foorball team like the championship team of the ’80′s —it will not happen again. No matter who’s running the team, no matter the talent; if the owner doesn’t want a winner, that are you gonna do? By buying tickets and paraphernalia, you are underscoring the McCaskey logic; “Con them, raise false hopes, Fleece them!”
To rich 2256–
Thank you for validating my premise on how you spend your life. Mistakes are not allowed because rich2256 says so.

Really?
The Bears have…
Most members in the Hall of Fame of any team.
Most wins in NFL history.
Most playoff appearances in NFL history.
3rd best winning percentage in NFL history.
9 championships.
You are an idiot.

I wonder why you picked a strange number like 16 years…..
Let’s see…. 16 years.
Not 10 years.
Not 25 years.
Not 85 years.
Just the last 16 years.
Could it be to make your dumb ass logic work in your favor?
I know that is how the Packer fans do it.
The Bears need another Bill Tobin. He was the last player personnel guy who knew anything about evaluating talent and finding impact players that could contribute immediately. Anybody remember who brought in Walter Payton?
Ditka said it best…”you’ll never win a derby with donkeys.” Unfortunately that’s what the Bears are stocked with now and no amount of coaching can change that and I don’t much care who the coach or the GM is! We’ve got a roster of donkeys.
