Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
After being relegated to third string and special teams duties only, the writing was likely on the wall for Ricky Manning Jr. He simply wasn't in the Bears plans for this season or the future, despite the mammoth five year contract which still contained three years. He started grumbling this week, and was outright released from the team today. He obviously wasn't on the same page as the coaching staff.
Basically, Manning was being paid like a starting corner, and he was no better than a nickel corner who couldn't cover well one on one. He did garner five picks in 2006, but last year fell apart and wasn't productive in the least. One wouldn't think he's done already at age 27, so odds are he'll have a new job quite soon, possibly a starting gig.
I'll most remember him as the culprit in Devin Hester's called back punt return TD in the '06 playoffs. Thanks for that, Ricky, it's always good to take away the fans' collective joy like that.
No word yet on Ricky's present whereabouts. If you are reading this from your laptop in a Chicago-area Denny's, you may want to get outta there very quickly. Better safe than sorry.
