Calvin Johnson on Wembley field: I'm not really worried about it. I've played on worse fields, like Chicago

he's not wrong...

Idk that hes taking a shot.... iz just fact.... Soldier Field grass is shitty shitty shit.

 

[CRM 114]

Well, it's true...

 

[mecha]

Bears players only get hurt at their home games. CHECK THAT SHIT OUT SOMETIME.

 

[Camden Cutler]

well since the bears haven't beat the lions in 5 games he can literally say whatever he wants about them...even sleep with their wives and spit in their children faces

remember Wendell Davis basically ending his career at the shit field that was Veterans Stadium in Philly?

"His career effectively ended on October 10, 1993, in a game against the Philadelphia Eagles. While planting his feet to catch a pass, his cleats got stuck in the Astroturf at Veterans Stadium. The force of being pulled back to the ground was so severe that it completely severed both patella tendons. Doctors later found his kneecaps had been pushed all the way into his thighs. He spent several months in a wheelchair, with his legs encased in casts from thigh to ankle.[3] After spending the entire 1994 season in rehab, he attempted a comeback with the Indianapolis Colts in 1995, but did not appear in a game."

Multi use stadium. It is what it is. Football is better with grass stains, mud and sod clumps in the helmet.

 

[Monsieur Tirets]

im so sick of the bitching and moaning about the field. its fucking football. I like that the field is sloppy and gets torn up. sure injuries suck, but again... its football. youve got guys going down regularly due to non contact injuries on supposedly much better surfaces, so...

 

[mecha]

turf is honestly probably way worse. Soldier Field is like... pure.

Soldier Field is dicks, at least it isn't Redskins or 49ers bad I guess.

Except when you win the superbowl when your home field is basically green painted concrete like soldier field was in 1985

 

[Burque]

They just need to get someone other than Chicago parks and Rec to maintain it and I bet it would be in much better shape. Nothing like allowing a government funded agency control the turf of a professional sports team.

but you don't play that at home

Is it still a shot if he's merely saying the blatantly obvious truth?

Parks and rec want hybrid turf. Bears want sod.

And what was the superdome? :thinking:

 

[I Just Want To Read]

The field is a joke.

The fact that we can't get turf put in is clear evidence the Bears are a second class franchise owned and operated by silver spoon dipshits.
