Let's talk to the Bears
Jan 30, 2007 | 9:04AM | report this

Media Day is here, and I opened the day by tracking down last year's college football receiver of the year, Mike Hass, and asked him what was a bigger thrill ... being the Biletnikoff Award winner, or playing in Super Bowl?

Hass: "Two completely different things ... one is the pinnacle for being the best individual player at your position in the college game, and the other is the pinnacle for being a team player in the pro game."

To Bears backups Dwayne Slay, Leon Joe and Rod Wilson: are you going to out to party tonight?

They responded in unison: "No comment."

Then added: "We're hanging low. We're not doing anything."

To which practice squad receiver Brandon Rideau responded: "Tell him about Monica Lewinsky!"

Big inside joke, apparently ... bunch of LOLs.

Receiver Justin Gage played collegiately at Missouri, so I asked him who had the better hair ... former Missouri basketball coach Quin Snyder or Lovie Smith?

Gage: "Lovie Smith has better hair during the weekdays, Quin Snyder has better hair on the weekends."

Bears backup quarterback Kyle Orton sports a huge, disgusting beard, so I had to ask him when was the last time he shaved.

"Last April."

"Do you keep that out of superstition?"

"No, out of laziness"

Of course, the obvious follow-up question to Orton had to be about all the pictures all over the Internet last year, in which he was visibly drunk and with a number of members of the opposite sex. How did he take it?

Orton responded: "My friend sent him over a link to all the pictures ... what can I do, I'm a young guy having fun."

Rookie defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek is on injured reserve but still made the trip to Miami for Super Bowl XLI. I had to ask the former Sooner where he was when Boise State ran the hook and ladder, and later the Statue of Liberty play, to shock Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.

Dvoracek said: "I was in the living room, flipped over my couch and couldn't believe my eyes."

I followed up with: "What do you think of Adrian Peterson? Will he be a good pro?"

"Adrian Peterson is going to be a Hall of Fame player. Mark it down in ink. He's going to be one of the best there ever was."
