Big paydays over for Harris

Guess who won’t be seeing 1 cent of his $2.5 million roster bonus on June 1, 2010? If you guessed Tommie Harris, you are correct. Harris has about as much chance of getting another big payday from the Bears as Lovie Smith does of winning coach of the year for 2009. A quick look at Harris’ four-year, $40 million extension shows that he’s already been paid way more money than he’s worth. In the first year of the deal, Harris received a $6.5 million signing bonus and a $3.5 million roster bonus ...

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:38:30 -0500

Punching people is still against the rules in the NFL, right? Yeah, I thought so. That makes this violent act by Tommie Harris(notes) even dumber, and it's kind of hard to top the stupidity of punching someone in their football helmet. Knuckle vs. Helmet = Bad news for the knuckle. Observe Chicago Bears defensive lineman Tommie Harris. Harris wasn't around to talk about it after the game, and I haven't seen any quotes from punchee Deuce Lutui(notes), either. Motive on this thing i...

Sixty-five seconds into today’s 41-21 drubbing courtesy of Arizona, Tommie Harris decided the best way to right his increasingly uncertain situation in Chicago was to punch a man in the face.

Don't start something

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:58:36 -0500

CHICAGO -- It's not a secret the Bears used several techniques to try to jump-start defensive tackle Tommie Harris. Not only did Lovie Smith opt to bench Harris against Cincinnati, he required the defensive lineman to actually practice on Wednesday.

It was a topic Harris refused to discuss after the victory over Cleveland. "No. You have to ask [Bears h...

Harris a question mark

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:54:05 -0500

I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea what to expect from Tommie Harris on Sunday. I don't know whether a week off will cure what ails him because I'm not sure I know what ails him, and I don't know if anybody else knows, including Harris. He denies having a problem with his left knee, but that’s what the Bears have listed when he misses practice on most Wednesdays or when he’s limited for the rest of the week in practice. Lovie claims the three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle...
