Respect. Sure. Like? I fucking hate these guys more than any team in the NFL now. More than Pete Carroll. That's saying an awful lot.

Yeah, I really don't like Harbaugh or Kaepernick. Harbaugh is a big crybaby and Kaep is just a bit too arrogant for my praise.

Kaep is a fucking stud on the field though. It terrifies me that I don't think he's come close to his ceiling yet.

And I feel like Harbaugh is going to be the next legendary coach.

It's amazing how fast Kaep is when he's running.

Harbaugh has done a real good job, but his team is stacked and they have been stocking away draft picks like crazy. Does he have any influence on the GM in terms of that (a la Parcells)?

not as much as he would like, he's been fighting for more control over player decisions

This guy right here.

I can believe this. I've never lived west of Chicago, so I've never really had to deal with more than a handful of Niners fans, thankfully.

Sam Shields 4 year 39 million. That's Revis money. I sure hope he plays like it.

I'd rather them loosen the purse strings to keep Shields than Raji.

Looks like Raji is back too, though.

Julius Peppers

Lol. Wow

I was not expecting this, but I'm definitely ok with it.

My favorite player/Bear goes to my most hated team...

I hope the Godfather of the Lambeau Leap is right about this one. He was part of that defense when Reggie White walked through the door, so he knows the effect a big veteran presence can have, especially on a young group. Woodson did the same thing. Peppers spent the last year in Chicago with the organization being pretty open about the fact that he wasn't part of their future plans. Hopefully he'll come to camp with a fire lit under his ass.

Re: fire under ass - I doubt it in all honesty. But only time will tell. He would have been part of their plans had he played up to his contract. Of course, his motivator is that maximum money the Packers are offering. Money talks, but I'm just not sure he's still capable of earning it.

I honestly see no reason why he can't register double-digit sacks playing on a defense that requires far more attention to be paid elsewhere than the Bears defense did last year. He's no longer gonna be the focal point of the offensive lines he's facing.

Focal point? Once Melton went (and all the other starters) went down he was the only point.

He should do well in GB.

No idea who made this, but Leroy Butler just tweeted it.
