Bears Today
And the odds at kickoff are....?Someone said that in 1977, the Bears started at 2 and 4 and still made a wild card spot. We think that if people are already talking about a wild card spot, then the Bears have way bigger problems than anything we can dream up. You don't shoot for a wild card spot - and certainly not 6 games in. You shoot for the whole thing or else you're just playing down to lowered expectations.
And that's when you really start losing.
UPDATE: Damn. Special teams are carrying these guys. And Griese doesn't look that bad. Or at least not as bad a Rex. 700 yards in two weeks?

Ok, I told you guys to bet on the Bears before when they won.
Here is the bet this week.
Bears will win over Philly by a MINIMUM of 13 points.
The overage for the game will be over 43.
Two sure bets, no BS. Bet your farm, Bet your house, bet your wife (Well if you want to keep her, bet her).
I am 100 percent in all my postings so far. And intend to keep that percentage!
Any chance we will see a picture of Sgt Hitney on the Field as the Bears play on SCC? Let us know, please!
I say since dead eye Snethen was so on the money with his last prediction, Football Handicapper Davey "Las Vegas" Snethen should give us the heads up on this one. So Dave, let us know so I still have time to call Jimmy "Big Nose" Gambini the Bookie!
ODDS:
Any Professional Sport Team From Chicago Winning a Championship.
10000000000000000000 to 1
Al Gore and his global warming claims becoming real.
20 to 1
CPD's Lt. examination list being challenged in a court.
1 to 1
I say the Bears will get their ass kicked worse than a female bartender cutting off a drunken off duty copper. At least the bartender was able to get back on her feet and work again.
I don't know if it is a good sign or not but I noticed all the players for the Chicago Bears have handicapped cards hanging from their rear view mirrors.
We took the question if the Bears are going to win to the foremost expert in the field of professional football studies, Dr. Harvey Frinklestein of the Harvard School of Sports.
Dr. Frinklestein related that after reviewing all possible calculations for this Sunday's game, he concluded that the Bears would have a 100 percent chance of winning, if and only if, the SOS guys could lock up the members of the Philly football team on some chumped up inside the bar dope pinch.
Otherwise, bet on Philly.
Are the Cubs done with the season already? Just wondering.
Was there a wild card in 1977?
There is one thing that will greatly help the Bears become a chamionship team again. A sale!!!
The Bears management and ownership are no longer championship quality. The team should be sold to people who want to win and win badly.
It is time for the McCaskeys to realize that they are no longer a football family and they are holding the Bears back with their antidiluvian business practices.
Lovey gets outcoached every game. Best example--why kick to a guy who already has 200 plus yards on you?
Who cares, they just suck. Why waste time and space talking about the bears. GO PACK!

Answer: no, it was not called a wildcard spot, just a 4th seed. Wildcard began the next year. Only 4 teams made the playoffs back then. Staubach and Dorsett torched the Bears 37-7.
da Bears will win this one, and eventually make the playoffs. They played terribly in Detroit, yet almost won. They played terribly against minnesotta, yet almost won. The offense can put up points, specail teams can play well, and the defense, although injured, can tighten up. There is a lot of football left! Many doubters are the type of fan that leaves early to beat traffic, often missing some of the biggest plays. Ditching the bears after 6 or 7 games amounts to the same thing. There is a ton of football left!!
fire lovie!
What's up with th FOP web site?
Hey 10/21/2007 01:03:00A.M "Lets see if he is right this time" Lay off of Snethen! I know that Dave is perfectly able to defend himself, but I will tell you that Snethen was 5 times the copper you supposedly are and 10 times the person.
OH!!! THE PACKERS ARE OFF TODAY. THEY NEEDED A REST BECAUSE OF ALL THE GAMES THEY'VE BEEN WINNING!!!
GOD BLESS THE 5 AND 1 GREEN BAY PACKERS!!!

5 and 11
DEAL WITH IT!
This game will go down in history as a game that: "No player deserved to win this game. No fan desrved to watch this game."
If Barber is taking a 90 day suspension, then he clearly is NOT a good copper.
If Kordell Stewart were still our Q.B. we'd won this gane in the first half!
the bears will win 19 - 12. you heard it hear first!

I'M SURE HE'S A GOOD GUY. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING KNOW WHAT HE'S TAKING 90DAYS FOR? PERHAPS YOU COULD GIVE US A THUMBNAIL?
FUNNY THING, THEY PICK & CHOOSE WHO GETS A BENEFIT THROWN FOR THEM. I KNOW DOZENS OF P.O.'S WHO'VE TAKEN TIME & DIDN'T RECEIVE A DIME...
In 1977, the Bears had a young stud wearing #34 on his jersey.
In real football action, I was among the 21,000 who attended today's Chicago Fire game in Bridgeview. The Fire defeated Los Angeles Galaxy and Beckham to earn the eighth and final playoff spot.
The Bears shall not make the playoffs, but the Chicago Fire will roll onward.
WHAT did Richie Barber do NOW????
I just wanted to thank my brothers in blue & CFD for looking after me Sat night...You guys & gals were the best...Thanks!

And the hearts of every single, gay male in attendance.
I THINK RICH WILL BE FINE WITH ALL THE MONEY HE MADE ON THE SIDE JOB, AT THE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT CENTER (wink-wink, it was not a bar) AND ALL THE TAXES THAT HE DID NOT PAY.
HE CAN HANDLE 90 DAYS W/O PAY - LET'S KEEP THE BENEFITS TO THOSE WHO ACTUALLY EARN IT AND THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT.
The benefit is because he may have been working the door at a strip club. As the story goes, he was working at a joint. The Feds wanted to bust the joint. They didn't have anything on the owner. Thus, the Feds decide to go after the coppers who work the door and fail to report it as income. As the story goes...a plea deal was made. Thus the city feels obligated to give 90 days. This is speculation, not fact, take it at face value.
I just used my username and password from my favorite internet porn site and the FOP 7 webpage opened right up!
The FLOP doesn't want outsiders to see that they do absolutely NOTHING for us.
What's the story and score of the CPD v CFD soccer game a few days ago? Anyone know?
Phil Cline did a hell of a job coaching the Eagles tonight. He just came up a little short.
I'M ALL FOR GOING TO A BENEIFIT FOR ANOTHER COPPER AND I'M ALL FOR GOING TO THE BENEFIT FOR ME FOR MY SUSPENSION I TOOK 10 YEARS AGO FOR A B.S. BRUTALITY BEEF. GUESS I'M NOT ONE OF THE "IN" GUYS WHO GETS A BENEFIT FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO. JUST ASKING ??

Where's Dante Jones?
Why would you have a benefit for someone making unreported cash on a side job. Fuck him he should have put a little to the side in case he got caught.
You wanna have a benefit for Finnegan next?
finnigan already had a benefit party right after he was stripped at dugans & so did suchocki at some bar in 008
Benefits have nothing to do with being "in guys"
They simply have to do with guys who have friends who care enough about them to help out.
You apparently have no friends. And with your infantile whining, it's no surprise.
I understand some of the comments regarding Barber and his benefit. Yes, he was suspended for working for cash at a side job (off duty). Not many coppers can say they have never done this. He also paid the IRS thousands of dollars and took full responsibility for his actions. With the attorney fees, no pay check, kids and no income until January he could really use the help. If you don't agree then don't come! I worked with him in 008 and he is a hard working guy who always helped out anyone who needed it. And for those who claim they didn't get a benefit for whatever their problems were, it is not the FOP who decides who gets a benefit- it is friends and co-workers who throw it together.
Either yours did not realize you needed one, or you were not well liked! So sorry. Sometimes when you need help you have to ask.
And comparing Barber to Finnigan is ridiculous.
The 90 day suspension is for working at a club,getting paid cash and not claiming it on his taxes,the feds chose to only go after the cops working there and no one else,and by the it was 7 yrs ago that this happened,and his ex-partners are throwing the benefit,so all the haters who have never worked for cash(wink wink)stay home or lay down on your jobs like I'm sure you do.
to anonymous 22 oct 07 0902hrs,are you even a PO?Are you that perfect that you never worked a cash side job?Hey wannabe 90% of this dept, has worked for cash at some point,even the gold stars,put some aside?Is there anyone more clueless on this site but you?Go lay down on another job,dog
The Po taking 90 days,his case is a tax issue,nothing to do with bar fights,SOS,robbing drug dealers,medical abuse,he worked for cash,and 99% of this dept. hasen't?,and it was 7yrs ago,show him some support.
To anonymous 21 oct 07 0950pm,you sound bitter and jealous towards Rich,why is that?You never made cash on a sidejob?Because it wasen't a bar?What the hell does that mean,who cares if it was a bar or not,he got caught up and he paid the price.How do you earn a benefit jealous boy?Get caught on tape at a bar and beat a girl?Steal and rob from people while there in custody?He's taking 90days for a paper crime and his victim is the IRS,not a petite bartender,so he really needs it,go lay down on your jobs bitter boy.
To all the haters about the guy taking 90days,get a clue,he made a mistake,paid the price to the G and the dept. and his old partners are setting up a benefit,all that says is he had good partners,don't hate cause you didn't get one,just stay home and get a clue.
The PO taking 90 days,thats from 7yrs ago,what the hell.
The po taking 90,I wish I had partners like him when I took my hit,I got a pat on the back.
Greise did a fine job throwing the ball under pressure. It's nice to see a Bears quaterback not be a pussy and do his job under pressure.

For all you haters out there who would just like to bash a guy just so you feel important and have some sort of self worth in your own miserable little lives… I’ll tell you a little something about my friend Rich Barber. In my 17 years on the job I have never seen or worked with anyone that works as hard as Rich. I have never seen or heard of him turning away from anything or anyone in need. Rich is a guy you can always count on to have your back in any situation and most importantly he can be counted on to do his job with a level of professionalism that should be a model for all to follow. As like it always is on this blogg it’s easy to throw a dig or a slap at someone, especially when you don’t know him. Those of us without sin please feel free to cast the first stone. Rich Barber, A Chicago Police Officer, needs our help. On the 23rd of October Stop by the FOP hall and Lend some support to a brother officer. And for those of you that all you can do in life is sling shit from the safety of hiding behind your keyboard try to grow a pair of balls or try to sneek them out of your wife's or boyfriend's purse and bring them with you to the FOP hall on the 23rd and we can discuss what’s bothering you.

Not to judge here, but isn't this the REASON the job is giving this guy "90 days off?" If we all come together to float his financial boat for something that he clearly did to himself, then where's the slap here? Maybe he needs a little reflective time to think about what he did. And no, I'm not a saint, but I would never take a side job that would bring scrutiny and discredit to the Job, something this guy apparently did.
Why a benefit? Why not just ask "Friends of Rich" to write checks to the guy and mail them to him, or drop them by his house?
Benefits held at the FOP (which my dues helped build) should be held for people who are kind of caught in the switches, you know? Like, they tried to do the right thing, but didn't quite get there. This guy made thousands for years working a side job in a sleaze joint, and now wants to play on the sympathy of other coppers? I'm not inclined to shell out for this nonsense. Message here? (1) Don't embarrass the Job, and (2) pay your taxes!!
Booya to the englewood ranger,rangers stick together,haters go to 1
it is not the FOP who decides who gets a benefit- it is friends and co-workers who throw it together.
You are right, but back in the day, we didn't advertise these benefits ouside the unit and friends of the person the party was thrown for, and for the most part, the people who wanted to be part of it were. I think it is nice to be able to post the date/time/location on this site, and it is a shame that it draws so many negative comments. At any rate, not advertising the benefits had the added benefit of not drawing any of this type of comment from guys.
FWIW, when you see your name up here, (and there are only 2 people who have actuallyl been complemented, and really only 1 who has never been bashed on this site ) it is usually cast in a negative light, and I don't think ANYONE enjoys seeing his/her own name show up here - even to advertise a benefit for lost time/pay...

IT'S THAT TYPE OF SANCTIMONIOUS BULLCRAP THAT MAKES ME WISH I NEVER TOOK THIS JOB.
FOLKS INQUIRED AS TO WHY THEY SHOULD ATTEND THIS BENEFIT, NOT BECAUSE YOU SAID THEY SHOULD. TO CALL PEOPLE OUT FOR BEING BALLESS, IS ASININE& ABSURD. WHERE THE HELL DO YOU COME OFF?
IT'S STONE PUNKS LIKE YOURSELF THAT BRING US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. TAKE A FLYING LEAP OFF THE MICHIGAN AVE BRIDGE, BEING YOU'RE SO WONDERFUL YOU'LL PROBABLY FLY
SO KEEP GOING ASSHAT!!
To the anonymous SAINT 22 oct 07 1040pm,Are you even a po?are you kidding me?where's the slap?loss of 7 paychecks,no insurance,no chance for ot,can't carry gun,thats not a slap you moron?Discredit to the job?what,he worked the door at a club like 3000 other cops do,do you even have a GED?How do you know he made thousands 7yrs ago?And at a 'sleaze'joint?Why is it sleaze,its legal and of course you would never go there because you are perfect,is your name jesus?you are just a hater and hope you never get caught in the"switches",but being the dog you with the almighty keyboard you won't.
I worked with Rich in 007 and 008 and there isen't an arrest he hasen't made,he is the working police always has been,he was like a sgt. in a blue shirt,he knew how to do everything except his tax return,but he paid the price for that,a mistake was made,he paid a heavy price for it,and good old partners want to try to help him,so haters stay home.
This guy taking 90days,his victim is the IRS?He's not on tape beating a bartender?Stealing money from a prisoner?Hiring a hit-man on tape?For that reasonI will go and don't even know him,he worked for cash like everybody else and got caught,look forward to meeting him,the IRS can go to hell.
How many cops have worked for cash on this dept.?the guy got caught and paid the price,leave him alone already.
Wish I had partners like him.
Stop bashing Richie, lets leave out the "great copper" comments, not that he isn't, but here is a good guy in need of some help, he has paid his debt to the Gov't & now he is paying it to the Dept., Rich will be the first to admit he may have made the wrong decision here,as far as being part of the "in" crowd that is kinda funny the guy who is helping throwing the party is an old partner who will go to hell and back for just about any copper/friend he knows,so I guess if you know him you too could be in the "in" crowd, so if you're sittin home on Tues stop by and help agood guy in need out
pay back taxes to IRS......$20,000
attorney fees to end up pleaing to a misdemeanor....$25,000+
missed OT for over 2yrs (being the working police).....$15,000+

Right on!!!!!!! To all the HATERS, can YOU say your fellow brothers & sisters in Blue would they come to your AID??? I DOUBT IT! So carry on, w/ your,hate'n,jealous,boring sorry ass lives.:}
comparing Barber to Finnegan is like comparing a car to a piece of shit....no comparison...Barber
wasn't a dirty cop,didn't beat anybody, male or female,didn't steal dealers money, didn't shut an entire Police department section down, didn't try to hire a hit on another copper, and didn't embarass or humiliate an entire department...your friends/coworkers give you the benefit, not the FOP...quit complaining and go blow your doll up again...sounds like you need a little lovin tonite....
Its good to see people going to bat for Barber on that tax case,I've known him for most of his time with the city and worked with him,he is the working police and would go the extra mile for fellow po's all the time,he worked for cash,got caught,paid the price and then some,he made a mistake and he will be the 1st to admit it,he got a second chance and knowing him like I do,he will once again rock and roll in 008 and put everybody to shame with his work ethic,esp. the haters who hide behind the keyboard,and like someone said,just tell him what you think,I'm sure he will tell you where to go when your done wasting his time,I look forward to hearing him say 'squad going in with one"as he was is known for everyday he works because thats what he does,he locks motherf%#kers up,unlike the hiding haters.
Hey 'Priceless" you right on brother,po's supporting another po for a mistake,that mistake was working for cash and not claiming it,how many po's on this dept. have workred for cash?And to say you have not worked for cash at some point in life,odds are you are lying.can't say I'm surpised by the hating going on,thats just how losers who have pathetic lives and hide behind anonymous are.
Hey Richie look forward to seeing back in 008,the 20 sector misses you and I'm sure your going to put the youngsters who think they know it all in there place,can't wait to see your face when your partner complains that on the way to lunch you get an arrest,you know just like you did before,and being that Hank is gone,there is no one to piss off in midnight lockup,glad your coming back.
The bears in 1977 had walter payton who ran for 1800 yards that year. The bears in 2007 have cedric benson who would need 2 seasons to rush for that many yards.
Being that the DUI king (025)is now off the street,the 008 DUI king is coming back,thats right,super cop lives on,RB look forward to your return,Kopec will always be number 2,show them how its done,I talked to you tue.night,you said your a little rusty but knowing you,it will take 1 day to shake that rust.11-501
