JEREMY LIN WANTED TO STAY WITH THE KNICKS!!!. THAT'S COMPLETE B.S.

Jeremy Lin is either naive or slow. The Rockets wrote that contract specifically with the big third year, knowing full well that would put the knicks wayyyy above the luxury tax and he knew it.

That was the only way the Rockets would write a contract with him, because they knew the knicks would match the 25 million if it was spread out evenly over three years. He's full of you know what. (HOW DO YOU SAY THAT IN CHINESE LOL...).

 Kudos to the Rockets brass for coming up with this contract and stealing Lin from the Knicks.......

THE CHICAGO BEARS AND MATT FORTE CONTRACT SITUATION, LET'S MEET IN THE MIDDLE FELLAS!!!

The Chicago Bears make a good point concerning Matt Forte and a long term contract. The life of a running back in the NFL is short and your coming off a knee injury (a season ending strained mcl). Matt Forte and his agent say he's completely healthy, has averaged over 1000 yards per season, (4233) over his four year career and is considered one of the best receivers out of the backfield in the league.

The answer is clear for both Da Bears, (had to work that in at some point) and Forte, "MEET IN THE MIDDLE". 

It is easy to see what Forte wants, two comparable Backs, Philadelphia's LeShon McCoy (6 yrs 45.6 million with 20.7 million in guarantees) and Houston's Arian Foster (5 yrs 43.5 million contract with 20.75 million in guarantees) are comparable to his talent and numbers, but the reality is neither of these guys are comming off knee injuries and unfortunately for Matt, this is a business.

From the Bears side of it, they know they need to get something done to keep there top offensive weapon on the field long term and eliminate a huge distraction during training camp, plus making the Bears faithful happy in 2012.

Bottom line, look for the Bears and Forte to reach a deal somewhere in the mid 30 million range over 5 years, with 18 to 20 million guaranteed. This should make both sides happy and lets hope if your a Bears fan we don't hear the words mcl injury and Forte in the same sentence ever again....


Have a happy and safe 4th of July everyone
