"It's been a whirlwind," Palmer told reporters. "First I was a retired member of the Cincinnati Bengals, and then I was throwing more interceptions than touchdowns for the Oakland Raiders, and now here I am, ready to totally torpedo the Chicago Bears season."

Despite taking countless punishing hits for his nearly three seasons as the Bears QB, critics who harp on Jay Cutler's perceived weakness as a soft competitor too eager to remove himself from games are piping up again now that a broken thumb will sideline Cutler for six to eight weeks. What many are most upset about is Cutler's apparent refusal to learn to throw with his left hand during the 2011 season's home stretch.

“They’re magical shoes,” Bennett said.”I got my hands on the ones Bow Wow wore in ‘Like Mike’ and had them fixed up and painted orange. They are making me a Pro Bowl caliber wide receiver.”

The game of football has changed over the years, and some would argue not for the better thanks to penalties and replays.

While being sequestered for questioning, Bennett called coach Lovie Smith to inform him that he would not be making the trip to San Diego. A very groggy Smith calmly reminded his valued receiver that the game this Sunday was at home. A humbled Bennett apologized to the TSA and offered to buy everyone some TCBY.
