Teddy Bears, of course! Fedor Emelianenko stopped by Soldier Field in Chicago to see the Bears beat the Cleveland Browns, 30-6. He is on the right with Staley the Bear. There is no truth to the rumor that the Bears asked Fedor to try out for the offensive line, but with the Browns sacking Jay Cutler four times, he couldn't have made it any worse.
Thanks to Esther Lin for the photo.

Dana always talks about UFC wanting to go global, but he refuses to co-promote with any other sanctioning body to do so. This is very similar to what happens in boxing when a unification bout between two champions cannot take place because the sanctioning bodies refuse to negociate with one another (i.e. WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO). To imply that any fighter , especially someone as accomplished as Fedor, is "afriad" to compete is a disrespect to all fighters and a shows a lack of knowledge someone has of what it takes to become a professional in any profession.

"Also, Fedor still competes in Russian Sambo competitions across the world. Dana and UFC do not allow their "fighters" to compete in anything that is not UFC sponsored."
Actually, the this is not true. In their last round of talks, the UFC said that Fedor could participate in any Sambo cometitions in desired. It seems a if the co-promote with M1-Global is the real sticking point.

And Joe, if you are going to talk football, it was Kyle Orton that the fans wanted. You know the one that is 6-1 in Denver. Grossman is another draft day error long forgotten by Bears fans.

I will be impressed with Brett Rogers if he makes it to round 2. And no offense to Brett...just lots of respect for Fedor.

And tyson wasn't gonna go pro in hockey.
Lesnar was only cut because of his age.
People are good at what they are good at.
Just cause some guy is good at one sport instead
Of another does not take away from their athletic
Ability. Look what happens to pure boxers that
Go into mixed style contests. They get fukked up.
Does that take away from their boxing ability?
