"Of all the raised eyebrows Thursday in Chicago over the Bears' sudden release of Chris Harris, those arched the highest should belong to Matt Forte. It should remind Forte how the window for success in the Not-For-Long league can be smaller than the one on your smart phone.

Forgive me for not joining the Occupy Halas Hall movement to protest Forte's relatively meager $600,000 salary. Don't misunderstand. Forte leads NFL running backs in yards from scrimmage and integrity per pound. He typically represents the Bears in an exemplary fashion and proved his professionalism by showing up for this contract year stronger than ever inside and out."
