    What a day. I heard Mully and Hanley ran my interview with Brian Urlacher during their morning show and then proceeded to talk about it.

    When I heard Brian Urlacher speak to the media hoard Sunday, I asked if he and I could sit down Monday to discuss his knee injury further. He agreed.

    It's the eve of the Bears season. Well, the pre-season. It's also the birthday of Jay Cutler's first child - a boy - Camden Jack. Let the storybook season begin, right?

    Tuesday was a scorcher in Bourbonnais and that's one of the reasons why the players didn't wear pads - going with shells and shorts instead.

    With one week before the first pre-season game against Denver, questions began to be asked about the offensive line… well, they've been asked all along, just today they were louder.

    It's not everyday the NFL commissioner stops by practice. In fact, it's never happened in Bourbonnais.

    My showing at Bears practice didn't draw the attention the Commish did but Robbie Gould stopped his cart to sit and chat (are you impressed?).

    After Monday's off day, we tackled a long one at training camp. Starting in the Kitchen here at Olivet Nazarene University.
    After Monday's off day, we tackled a long one at training camp. Starting in the Kitchen here at Olivet Nazarene University. Shout out to Jeff Hilligoss- the GM of Sodexo who talked us through preparation for 90 plus NFL players. Not a total shocker, but he said the lineman eat really well…"not just what's on their plates, but how many plates they clean". Ha!

    With all due respect to Theo Epstein - football is better with pads on. Just sayin'! So for the second straight day, the Bears practiced with full pads.

    Alright Bears, time to get to work. The first official practice of 2012 is in the books. No pads, just shells and shorts, but practice none the less.

    I guess Wednesday was officially the first day of camp. But no practice. Just meetings, lunch and a conditioning test.

    Tuesday was like Christmas for a crazy Chicago Bears fan like myself. I just couldn't wait for the players to report to camp for what might be the most anticipated season since the Super Bowl Bears.

    Happy report day! At first I thought it was like Christmas. Instead, it feels like the first day of college and summer camp mixed into one.
