Lovie-speak is a charade

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 02:29:43 +0000

This concerned me because it seemed to suggest I had just dreamed of the dull Bears coach, which would mean that even my dreams put me to sleep. And I'm confused enough as it is.

Talking about practice

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:57:45 +0000

Tommie Harris was right. It wasn't his chronic left knee woes that prevented him from playing in the 45-10 massacre Sunday at Cincinnati. Instead, it was a more restrictive authority, coach Lovie Smith, who ruled he would sit out practice last week and the game.

Not very well red

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 15:50:15 +0000

When Bob Babich was the Bears' defensive coordinator, it was always difficult to figure out where he started and Lovie Smith ended. The two were in lockstep. The perception is that since Smith replaced Babich as the play-caller, Ron Turner's role as co-head coach/offense has been reinforced.
