Who knew Ryan was such a big fan -- or Jamaican?

All-Pro return man and wide receiver Devin Hester has decided to skip the Bears' first day of training camp. Hester, the third-year pro, is due to make $445,000 this year a€" far less than what any two-time Pro Bowler should be making.

Considering Kevin Jones is coming back from reconstructive knee surgery, a song entitled "Break Stuff" probably isn't the best choice to score his highlight film. Regardless, here it is:

Devin Hester might be the most exciting player in football, but how can you expect him to translate that moniker into success at the wide receiver position if he isn't getting an ample amount of opportunities?

Much of the Bears' success on offense this year will rest on Chris Williams' ability to digest the blocking scheme and improve his run-blocking skills. If he does, Rex Grossman/ Kyle Orton will have the much-needed time to throw and lanes will open for fellow rookie Matt Forte. If he fails, opposing defenses will be in the Bears backfield a€" as another famous Commodore put it a€" all night long.

Lost in the article that accompanies the twisted photo below is the revelation that kicker Robbie Gould seems to be in favor of a Favre acquisition.

David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune thinks Favre should be a Bear.

You may not see a more disturbing image in your lifetime.

When a franchise places their faith in a man that looks like this, the forecast can seem bleak a€" I know. Many people forget, however, that the other option, Kyle Orton, has never been more than a caretaker. As witnessed in 2005, even with an elite defense and solid running game, a team can't win in the playoffs unless they get some production from their quarterback...

Nicely done, Jerry Angelo. Nicely done. Just when it seemed like the Bears had lost interest in the Virginia Tech product, I wake up this morning to news that proves the Bears were probably entirely interested all along.

As it stands now, the Bears have four quarterbacks on their roster: Rex Grossman, Kyle Orton, and two undrafted rookies. It's no secret they could do well to add a veteran.

Per Bucs Bonus, a Tampa Bay Buccaneers blog on Tampa Bay Online, the Bears are interested in disgruntled Buccaneers quarterback, Chris Simms...

Even at the darling age of 31, many -- including myself --consider wide receiver Marty Booker an upgrade over the departed Muhsin Muhammad.

Linda Cohn, you'd best watch your back; there's a new sheriff in town. Her name is Dana Ward and she's the mildly attractive host of NFL Quick Hitters, a show on YouTube brought to you by the fine people at GamblersTelevision.com...

And no -- suprisingly, they don't make the playoffs.

Apparently, in the simulation, a preseason injury to Devin Hester sidelines the All-Pro for the entire regular season and is key to the Bears' struggles. . .

Amidst reports that he has an itch to play again, Brett Favre takes time to partake in a reflection style interview for Sports Illustrated...

As the most accurate kicker in Bears' history, Robbie Gould has made a name for coming through when it counts. "Good as Gould" and "Solid Gould" are just two of the nicknames fans have made for him to acknowledge that he, does indeed, come through when it counts...
