Disappointments all around in the Bears' 32-17 loss in Oakland on Saturday: Cutler was sacked five times in the first half, Urlacher exited early with a sprained calf, and, worst yet, the much-hyped Colt Brennan-Matt Gutierrez battle never ascended.

The most concerning issue -- coming as zero surprise -- is that the Bears still can't protect Cutler. Said the Trib's Brad Biggs...

...the Raiders' Kamerion Wimbley raced around Williams for four sacks on only 21 drop-backs.

No one had to turn to the tape to know what happened. Wimbley simply beat Williams around the corner, sometimes dipping his shoulder and going under to cut down the path to Cutler. They were one-on-one battles that Wimbley won, twice in three-man pass rushes when teams don't expect to bring down the quarterback.

Williams never looked this dominated against Julius Peppers in practice. Cutler said it's not a scheme issue, although you can bet tight end Brandon Manumaleuna will be lined up next to Williams plenty come Week 2, when the Cowboys are plotting the downfall of Cutler with their own outside linebacker, DeMarcus Ware.

But don't worry, friends: the Bears signed their Kid Cutty insurance policy on Monday. Todd Collins! This will obviously end well.

Suck.

A matchup pitting Derrick Rose against Ricky Rubio likely needs 4,000 words from this site, but you'll have to settle for only a YouTube video and Matt's thoughts on Rose's ever developing three-point shot.

The 3 point shot (shorter in international play, mind you) was also on display, and it'll take me a while to get sold. Rose had good form and arc, but it seems he's never truly set when taking it, usually off a dribble and drifting when he lets it fly. It almost looks like the rest of his offensive repertoire with his very difficult floater attempts...yet he can make those, and maybe will do alright from 3 as well. The important thing is at least taking a few a game to keep the defense honest.

Equally exciting in not-really-Bulls-related news: MJ's kids blew $56,000 in Vegas in one night. Cha boi A.J. Rompza got in on the action, too.

TUP favorite Jereme Richmond just endured his first day of college classes. He celebrated like any reasonably-minded person would.

So the kid's gonna get inked, huh? Of all the things people eventually live to regret, getting tatted up has to be at, or near the top of the list; usually under the sub-heading, "Really stupid shit that I did to myself when I was young".

Girl's names are the worst, but regardless of the pic, if we're lucky enough we get to live to a ripe old age. And you know what they say ... The only thing sadder looking than a fat, wrinkled up old man with a bunch of tattoos, is a fat, wrinkled up old woman with a bunch of tattoos.
