Larry Johnson, what comes to mind when you hear his name? has-been? wasted talent? bigot? or maybe Cedric Benson the Second?

Larry Johnson (LJ) was recently cut from the Kansas City Chiefs and no one claimed him from waivers because of his contract, $2.3 million. Since becoming a FA Larry Johnson has been contacted by four teams.

The Future- I’ve talked about how this is a growing pain season, and after these past couple of weeks it has become even more obvious to the rest of you. Make no mistake, this is a good ballclub. We need changes at 5 positions in order to become legitimate contenders in the search for the Lombardi Trophy.

Football is a grueling game, it's unforgiving in many aspects.

A game of Champions for sure, athletes must not only have the physical skill but also the mental fortitude to align themselves for the pursuit of perfection.

Hey everyone, I saw this on the internet and I didn't see it on WCG so I decided to post it.

Even though the Bears lost, it was not a total loss.

Cutler made a few connections to all three prominent WRs Hester, Bennett, and Knox. Cutler had 3 big interceptions, one of which led to a touchdown for GB, but they were not his fault, whether players gave up on the play, or ran the wrong routes (see Dez Clark for the former and the latter). Hester made a few great plays and I truly believe he will be #1 by the end of the season. My thoughts are that we will make the playoffs this year, but next year is when the Superbowl push will start (think of this year as 2005).

I have never really played Fantasy Football before but after hearing about it and seeing how popular it is on this website I'd like to know if you guys have any tips or pointers (or maybe know of some really good sleepers). After looking into it a bit it looks to me that I should draft some more WR's and RB's because of the uncertainty at the position and because of the high risk high reward aspect.

While it may be a little soon, but it's the offseason so I've had time to think about this. What if the Bears do well in the 2009 NFL Season but a glaring need is still the Wide Receiver position? I'm hoping this isn't the case and that one of the rookies ends up showing enough promise or that Hester finally breaks out but let's play devil's advocate.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to get some input on how Detroit Lions fans will think the NFC North will shake out this year.

I'm a lifelong Bears fan, but I definitely think that the Lions have gotten better this offseason. I was surprised when they took Stafford over Curry though, that guy is going to be a beast.

I think Detroits offense is actually pretty good (man I wish the Bears had Calvin Johnson), but their defense needs some work.

This is how I see the NFC North

Chicago Bears: 11-5

I believe that the acquisition of Cutler will help the Bears win at least 2 more games this year.

Minnesota Vikings: 9-7

The Vikings have a great D and a solid running game, but even the addition of Percy Harvin won't really help when the QB play is so terrible.

Green Bay Packers: 8-8

Growing pains from a new defensive scheme and injuries on offense will hamper the Packers (bur I see them doing much better 2010 Season)

Detriot Lions: 5-11

I think the current roster gets sick of losing and buys into the new coach. It's really embarassing to lose that many games in a row, which I think will motivate the players during OTAs and minicamp. Detroits D ends up losing close games. Calvin Johnson makes another big leap this year though. I think Detroit wins more games with Culpepper than with Stafford. I think Culpepper has something left to prove and he can get you points in the red zone. If the Lions rush Stafford (he is no Matt Ryan) I see Detroit losing more games this year.

Thanks
