I figure that if I've got a new object of affection, I should probably find out who the hell he is, right? From chicagobears.com:
LAKE FOREST, Ill. – The Bears on Monday signed punter Filip Filipovic to a
one-year contract. Terms were not disclosed.
In nine games with the Dallas Cowboys in 2002, Filipovic averaged 40.6 yards and placed 14 of 65 punts in inside the 20. The South Dakota product has since spent time with the San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans without appearing in a regular-season game.
There's really no reason to click the link, because that's the entire article. So obviously the team-nay- all of Chicago is atwitter over the signing of Filip Filipovic. I did find it a little surprising that he went to South Dakota. But what do I know? Maybe there's a thriving Serbian community in South Dakota, because Filip Filipovic is originally from Belgrade, Serbia. That would make some sense, because Serbians are used to living in a shitty place, and South Dakota is a shitty place, so they probably feel right at home in the bitter cold, but more safe
because no one's shooting at them. I kind of figured he was one of those guys who get picked up from NFL Europe because they get a free roster spot, like McDonald's getting tax relief by hiring retards to stock the ketchup packets. I was also pretty disappointed that he didn't look more like my monkey:

I was also pretty disappointed that he didn't look more like my monkey:A little more research suggests that he is also a punting instructor at the Billy Cundiff Kicking Academy. The fact that such an academy exists speaks of just how maniacal and stupid Texans are about sports. Of course, the Billy Cundiff website also lists Filip Filipovic as formerly of NFL Europe, so this whole web of deceit is getting a lot more tangled. I'm going to have to reassemble the Inquisatorial Squad to get it all sort it out. Watch out, Filip Filipovic- you can run, but you can't hide!
Apparently you can also kick, but I don't see that being a major advantage. I'm not known as Balls Of Steel for nothing.
