The Bears promoted running back Kahlil Bell from the practice squad today after placing Garrett Wolfe (lacerated kidney) on injured reserve.

Bell, an undrafted rookie free agent from UCLA, could see time on special teams and will move into the role of third running back behind starter Matt Forte and backup Adrian Peterson.

"I'm just happy to be here," Bell said. "It's been a dream since I've been a little kid to be at this level. If I get the opportunity to contribute, I'll be living the dream."

Bears coach Lovie Smith offered high praise for Bell.

"Kahlil has been around here for a while," Smith said. "Whenever you're on the practice squad, you go against the No. 1 defense. Good football player. We brought him here for a reason.

"Whenever you keep a young running back on your practice squad, he can do some things.Good runner. Good size. He can catch the ball. He can do all the things you want a running back to do."

"Can CRN compete with god?" Priorities are definately in the mix here; Faith or Football?

Off topic, I realize, but thought I would share a piece of ref'ing that would shame even the Pac-10.

UCLA has received NLIs from both Lamb and Smith.

Really interesting article in the Wall Street Journal in light of Bill Belichick's "interesting" decision this past football weekend. Apparently his decision was well supported by the number crunchers.

I am usually in the corner of those who are always pleading the coaches to go for it. However, I have to say even with the numbers on his side, I just couldn't come up with anything to justify it. Then again, if I am Patriots fan, I would give Belichick the same kind of deference I give Coach Ben Howland.

Interesting read.

GO BRUINS.
