I hate Jerry Angelo so fucking much. Angelo makes a play for Willie Colon, loses out (because -- huge surprise -- Colon wants to stay with the team that has a better shot at the Super Bowl), and then apparently has no Plan B for fixing the o-line. Except for fucking up what should have been an easy re-signing of Kreutz.
I can't get mad about the Marion Barber signing. If anything, it means they're a step closer to cutting Chester Taylor, which they need to do. If the RB depth chart next year went Forte - Barber - Robert Hughes/Harvey Unga, that'd be OK by me. Same thing with the Gholston/Okoye signings. Doesn't cost them much to kick the tires, then cut them if (read: when) they suck.
But then he dumps Olsen for peanuts because Martz pissed and moaned that Olsen wanted more plays as a receiver instead of a blocker, fails to get a real #1 wide receiver when there were like five of them on the market (and the one guy he does sign hasn't played a sixteen-game season since 2006, has about 1,200 receiving yards over the last three seasons, and had a blowup with Rod Marinelli so bad that even though neither man has been in Detroit for quite some time, they still aren't on speaking terms), doesn't do anything to fix the O-line, and then somehow makes the O-line even worse by lowballing the undisputed leader of the team for a decade and signing Chris Spencer, a guy so terrible that Seattle said, "Fuck it, dude, get the fuck out of here."
And now Olin Kreutz has signed with the Saints ... who happen to meet up with the Bears in Week 2. Kreutz knows the Bears' defensive alignments and adjustments in his sleep. That will end well.
Man, fuck you, Angelo. There's utter fucking incompetence, and then there's Matt Millen. You're heading towards the latter pretty goddamn quickly, you sack of shit.
