Bears interested in Plaxico Burress?

With Plaxico Burress having his case adjourned and waiting on the verdict of the Grand Jury, there is a good chance that he will be allowed to play this season. Of course Roger Goodell has to has his ruling as well. In my opinion I see no reason for Plaxico to be suspended. He was suspended last season for the last four games and lost about 18 million dollars. I feel he has payed the price and should be allowed to play they this season without suspension. He would be a major improvement over any Bears WR that is on the current roster. He always draws double teams which would allow Devin Hester to take his game to another level. With the addition of Jay Cutler and Orlando Pace the bear’s offense looks to be this year’s strong point for the 1st time in my 21 year life time. Burress is only going to get a one year deal. I feel it's worth the risk. He is the one that has everything to lose. He messes up again most likely it would spell the end of his NFL career. The Bears are reported to be one of three teams interested. The Jets are said to be backing off leaving only the Bucs and Bears. Bucs aren't going to win anything soon. So you would think that he would sign with the Bears. His close relationship with Jay Cutler won't hurt at all. You would have to think that with this possible addition this would only push the Bears defense even more just to prove that they are not past their prime. Expectations are high this year and anything less than at least a division championship is a failure.

Cubs vs. Sox

Tomorrow starts a new chapter of the cross-town classic. Despite both teams starting off to a sluggish start, they are both very much still in the hunt. The Cubs are out 3 games despite only having a .500 record. With A-Ram still on the shelf because of a dislocated shoulder and Milton Bradley not living up to his contract the Cubs seem to be a completely different team from the last few seasons. Because the lack of production the Cubs management decided that change was needed. They fired hitting coach Gerold Perry, who had this team last year in the top of all of baseball. The upcoming series could hopefully light a spark in the Cubs bats. You would think with this club they will most certainly be buyers come the trading deadline. With so many players on the Cubs roster that have no-trade clauses and the sell of the team up in limbo any deal might be hard to come by. There are really no must win series in June but you would think that Cubs are taking it that way.
