Though this has been rehashed again and again, having a receiving corps that could actually get separation or keep their hands on a ball would make the quarterback's job significantly easier. It's a simple conclusion that each of those receivers are better than any on the Bears' roster, with Devin Hester still very much a work in progress. Rather than asking what Kurt Warner might have done were he here in Chicago, ask what Kyle Orton might manage with playmakers like Fitzgerald, Boldin and Breaston catching passes. Reading Rick Morrissey's latest column, where he insinuates that Kurt Warner would have been the solution here in our quarterback-wasteland, makes me wonder quite the opposite. The 2009-2010 season is only a few weeks away.Īs a Bears fan born in 1987, it is simple to say that we haven't had a solid starting quarterback in my lifetime.
We all sit patiently, waiting for news from the Combine in a few weeks to allow Mel Kiper to vomit his expert opinions onto a draft board and free agency season to begin. If anything, continuing to solidify the aging offensive line or drafting a punishing safety in the mold of Mike Brown seems to make the most sense for the first round. As much as Tommie Harris' talent and durability is criticized along with the rest of them, I see Rod as the guy who will light the fire and preclude the need to draft another high-profile D-lineman. Alternatives? I think Rod Marinelli will be able to bring the pass-rush back to the level expected from a group taken mostly from the 2006 Super Bowl year. With that said, I don't think grabbing a wide receiver in the first round would be an intelligent decision given the preponderence of WR playmakers that have been found in later rounds. If Crabtree or Harvin happen to be on the board when the Bears step to the plate at #18, they would be obligated to take a good, long look at them. Whining over the Cardinals' near loss aside, I was happy to see David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune comment on the Bears' need for a big-play wide receiver. My only response was to shout "there's too much time left on the clock". I will remember one other thing: when Fitzgerald streaked between the defenders for the score with almost 2:40 left on the clock, everyone was cheering around me. My heart caught in my throat when Holmes caught that pass, though I was really pullin' for Warner and Co. You can pre-order the soundtrack here.If I took anything out of the Super Bowl, it was that I was almost on the head calling the game. The Sable soundtrack, like the game itself, is out 9/24. I wanted the main themes to recall iconic works of Joe Hisaishi and Alan Menken, to fill the listener with the childlike wonder of someone on the precipice of a grand discovery. I used woodwinds and vocal layering to make monumental ruins feel ancient and unknown, industrial samples and soft synths to make atomic ships feel cold and metallic, classical guitar and bright piano to make encampments feel cozy and familiar. It was important to me that each biome in this world felt unique. I was immediately captivated by the world they’d built, a desert planet filled with mysterious natural and architectural wonders, and the story they’d imagined, one of a young girl coming of age through exploration. I was so lucky Daniel Fineberg and Gregorios Kythreotis from Shedworks invited me onto this game so early on. (The Japanese Breakfast song “Glider,” which is being recirculated today, dates back to 2018, when Zauner first announced plans for the soundtrack.) Talking about the soundtrack in a press release, Zauner says: The soundtrack, on its own, is coming on the same day as the game. Zauner made 32 tracks of instrumental and vocal music for the game, and you won’t have to buy the game to hear it.
And today, Zauner has announced that the Sable soundtrack - effectively the second Japanese Breakfast album of 2021 - is coming out next month. In June, she shared the new Japanese Breakfast song “ Better The Mask,” which comes from that soundtrack. Back in 2018, Zauner announced that she would soundtrack the forthcoming video game Sable. Between the new album and the bestselling memoir that’s being adapted into a movie, Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner - a person who does not share my opinion of Billy Joel’s “ We Didn’t Start The Fire” - is having a huge year.
