[CBFF] NFL: Bears getting ready -- and getting healthy

[mactbone]

Well, they fit all of Tank Johnson on his jersey. Plus, they played together in Miami - I'm sure someone could find out what they did.

Hmm, if Obafemi sticks with the team this year, the brothers Ayanbadejo will require new jerseys with first name initials on them.  Brown (Alex/Mike/Ruben) or Johnson (Tank/Todd) is one thing, but Ayanbadejo?  And think of our poor PA announcer; no longer will "Tackle by AyanbaDAAYjo" be specific enough.

Also, I agree with Jerry about Runnels.  That's a bad break.

The Bears are expected to take care of another area with an injury
concern by signing fullback Obafemi Ayanbadejo today. The older
brother of linebacker and Pro Bowl special-teams performer Brendon
Ayanbadejo, Obafemi was released by Arizona last week and participated
Monday on a tryout basis.

He will take a physical today and is expected to get a
minimum-salary-benefit contract. He would replace J.D. Runnels, who
has been waived/injured after tearing the ACL in his left knee
Thursday.

The Ayanbadejo brothers played together in Miami. Obafemi was more of
a third-down back with the Cardinals but said he can adapt to the
Bears' scheme.

''If you know my brother, you have a sense of me because we're very
similar,'' said Obafemi, a nine-year veteran. ''I don't think you
could write it out any better as far as what I bring to the table as a
fullback and what I can bring as a veteran player. It's an ideal
situation.''
