It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." A. Bartlett Giamatti
People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. -- Rogers Hornsby

The choice is so clear.

his headache is from having snaps in the shotgun go through his hands and drilling him in the head.

Free-agent running back will sign with Titans or Bears
Brown's decision could come soon
By JESSICA HOPP
Staff Writer
Published: Friday, 06/15/07
Chris Brown has narrowed it down. Now it's just a question of Windy City or Music City.
Agent Wynn Silberman said talks continue with the Titans and Chicago Bears and the free-agent running back is "getting closer to closing a deal."
Titans General Manager Mike Reinfeldt could not be reached for comment, but Silberman said the offers are very similar and "it is very possible that in the next four or five days we will have this thing finished."
Brown, a third-round pick by the Titans in 2003, is from Chicago. He started 25 of 26 games in 2004 and 2005, recording six 100-yard games and his first 1,000-yard season in his second year.
Last year, after a preseason request to be traded, he dropped to third on the depth chart behind Travis Henry and LenDale White and played in just five games.
The Bears have a need at running back after trading Thomas Jones, who was coming off consecutive 1,200-plus yard seasons, to the New York Jets.
The Titans lost Henry in free agency and want a veteran in the mix with second-year pro White and rookie Chris Henry.
"There's good possibilities for both sides," Silberman said. "Chris could go to Chicago. It's his hometown; he has family there; he's comfortable there; and there is a possibility they very easily could make another championship run. With Jones gone, Chris could see himself in the role Jones had last year.
"On the other hand, he could come back to Tennessee where he has a good relationship with Coach (Jeff) Fisher; he knows the system; and he could potentially compete for the starting job. That's compelling, too."
