Bears GM Phil Emery is on pins and needles as he anticipates DaBearsssFan85’s reaction to the signings of defensive end Lamarr Houston and safety Ryan Mundy, along with the release of former Pro Bowler Julius Peppers.

“In my heart, I believe I did the right thing, but I won’t really know for sure until DaBearsssFan85 weighs in,” said Emery, referring to the vitriolic ChicagoSports.com commenter. “The guy just calls it like he sees it. He called the Cutler contract ‘the dumbest move in pro sports history’ so I don’t want to make the same mistake twice.”

And DaBearsssFan85 isn’t just an expert when it comes to the Bears, as his name might suggest.

“He’s also smarter than [Hawks GM] Stan Bowman and don’t even get him started on the Cubs,” said Emery.
