Bears Waive Safety Winston Venable

The Chicago Bears waived reserve safety Winston Venable, who made the roster last year as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Boise State.

Venable appeared in 12 games in 2011 and finished tied for fifth on the club with 10 special teams tackles.

Venable was likely deemed expendable after the Bears spent a considerable chunk of the offseason strengthening their special teams via free agency and the draft. They also used a third-round pick to select Brandon Hardin out of Oregon State, a collegiate cornerback who the Bears plan to convert to a strong safety.

No surprise here. Since we drafted Brandon Hardin he wouldn't have made the final roster anyway.

Walters is a better prospect anyway and Coston has some legit upside.

I wish Winston all the best, and hope that he lands in a good spot.

Another one I have enjoyed watching in college. Twelve games, ten tackles, many have and will do far worse. :thanx:

Hope the next move serves him well (off or on the gridiron).

I remember back in 2000, I was accepted into the University of Tennessee School of Music as one of seven trombonists selected and one of 100 total students accepted. Since I was going to be a music education major, I was required to take three years of marching band, so I was automatically going to be on the roster to march and play in the "Pride of the Southland" Marching Band.

Not long into band camp, I figured out that my feet, which are flat and have absolutely no arch and also have extra bones in them, prevented me from being able to marching at the extreme tempos that were required to do Pregame and the halftime shows. I was never allowed to do Pregame because of my inability to maintain my balance, which was something that, since the 7th grade, I had dreamt of doing, and I was placed as an alternate for all of the halftime shows. When the final roster cuts were made, I was placed as the 32nd AND LAST alternate in the entire band. It was humiliating, demoralizing, and I remember that as the first time in my life that I would begin suffering from clinical depression. I withdrew from UT on the third day of classes in August of 2000 and enrolled at a local community college. I wouldn't re-enroll again for seven years.

Now, I am preparing to graduate from college after being in school off-and-on for the past eleven years. My graduation is next Friday at Thompson-Boling Arena. My degree will be in History, with a minor in Political Science. Winston Venable, like me, will find what his true calling in life is, whether it is as a football player or as someone out in the workforce. He has nothing to be ashamed of. It's just the way the breaks go sometimes.

Oh noooooooooo! Not another story from "Band Camp". Dags, it's a good thing you don't play the flute. After those masturbation posts I'd hate to see what you'd be telling us about what you did with the flute. :naughty:

Dags = Alyson Hannigan only in a different orifice. :rofl2: :drinking61:

Oh, it gets much worse than playing the flute. I was a trombonist; therefore, I was a "boner." I played with my slide.

So is what you're telling us that a "bone" up the arse is worse than a flute in her zone of persuasion?

You know the thing that convinces us we should spend Un-Godly amounts of money on a highly evolved lump of coal in a platinum setting. Oh, and when I think about all the guitars I could have bought with that money it makes me cry.:cry:

I would fuck Alysson Hannigan, no question about it. She has this nerdy quality about her that just appeals to me. I can think of a few things that I could do to her with either her flute or my trombone that would make her scream like a piggie.
