		<description><![CDATA[OM-effen-G!!!!

   There&#039;s an old guy crashing a Lamborghini, a greedy running back, two teams in Ohio who are desperate for the two desperate running backs and Chad Greenway made some tackles!! Is that what I&#039;m reading here?? 

   Lance-a-lot.... Way to go buddy, congrats, keep up the good work!!

   Phill Emery.... Please don&#039;t funk up this Forte deal!! It&#039;s. It that freakin hard to give him what he wants and still protect the club from the possible downfalls incorporated with a front loaded long term deal!!
   
   Everyone else.... It is a passing league more than ever, let&#039;s all act like the RB position just has no importance anymore. Let&#039;s all act like 25 other teams wouldn&#039;t give Fore the deal he wants in the first 10 minutes of negotiations. And let&#039;s all act like in this pass happy league, one of the very best receiving and pass blocking, carry the load, almost never gets hurt, explosive, hits the homerun type running backs is just gonna be soooooooooooooo easy to replace!!!!!! There are teams who draft new RBs every year trying to find what the Bears have! There are teams who have found it but can only get 6 games a year out of em (McFadden). And there are teams that have this type if RB on their roster, they&#039;re all handsomely paid!! (except Ray Rice, new contract to come). The Bears have gotten away with underpaying this guy for 4 years and kept telling him he would be taken care of. And now there idea of taking care of him is a boarder line respectable short term deal for a good RB. Not the long term deal he has always said he wants for the elite RB that he is!!! 

   Chad Greenway is a good Linebacker but if you come up in here with that lip again you&#039;re gonna get voted off the island!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Forte was hurt last year the Bears other RB&#039;s ran for 159, 132, 199 and 92 yards net rushing in each of the 4 games. So although I want Matt back, the Bears won&#039;t die without him. That was without Cutler playing in each of those games. Forte will play for the tag amount too, who&#039;s he think he&#039;s kidding. You don&#039;t just walk away from 7.6 million when you&#039;ve been playing for $500,000. He&#039;s been offered plenty of guaranteed money and won&#039;t sign, so welcome to the new CBA.]]></description>

Also if you know anything about Forte, it&#039;s that he SUCKS at short yardage situations.  Also that&#039;s why they have Bush now for those short yards. Forte is REPLACEABLE and I love Forte and even have his jersey.]]></description>

Obviously, you don&#039;t watch too many Bears games. I know you were being sarcastic, but Forte isn&#039;t that good on 3rd and short. He is always crashing into the line and laying down. Terrible. Goal line runs are the same. Why do you think they were lining him up in the slot and the ends?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone complaining that Forte is being disrespected or should feel disrespected should never run a professional football team.  I don&#039;t even know if you should run a fantasy football team.  The Bears can&#039;t stop everything else until they resign Forte, that makes no sense and basically puts The Bears in a position to fail because who knows how long Forte plans to hold out or how much he exactly expects before he resigns.  Like everyone else, I absolutely want the Bears to re-sign Forte but I don&#039;t want them to put everything else on hold until Forte decides to finally re-sign.  Let&#039;s not act like Forte doesn&#039;t deserve at least a little of the blame for this mess.]]></description>

Disloyalty?  Briggs has been with the team forever and has been a pro-bowler for 7 straight seasons.  He was rewarded for his performance and tenure with the team.  Forte hasn&#039;t been there as long, and had a major injury last year.  There&#039;s a fine line between loyalty and stupidity.  I think taking the cautious approach is the right thing to do.  In fact, the Bears should sign a mid-round RB for insurance to go along with Michael Bush.  Chances are that Forte will sign either the offer on the table or the Franchise tender by the start of the regular season.  He can bitch about his contract and get a new deal after he plays at a high level this season.]]></description>
