[CBFF] Fw: Smith's agent says talks with Bears have broken down

[Steve Behrens]

Your right, we all make assumptions on this list that we feel are in the
ball park.  Think you don't?  I don't know for certain what 'the hell' he
would have asked for, but I do know that it's been widely publicized that
Lovie wanted to renegotiate last off-season.  Last off-season, he had (1)
11-5 season under his belt (with Orton at QB) and had not yet made the trip
to the Superbowl.  My dog could do the math on that one, are you telling me
you can't?
