CHICAGO (NFL/Newsfeed) – Matt Forte would like you to know his knee is feeling just fine, thank you very much.
After we reported earlier Saturday the Chicago Bears are concerned about the long-term health of the running back’s knees, Forte took to Twitter to show there was no cause for concern on his end.
Sure enough, the video shows Forte sprinting up a hill with a rope and weight attached to his waist. He moves quickly up the grassy incline as miniature dogs bark just off-screen. All in all, it seems like a pretty decent place to spend a Memorial Day weekend.
The report, which originated in the Chicago Tribune, stated that the Bears are privately concerned arthritis could set in, leading to a chronic problem for the 26-year-old back.
Forte’s home conditioning methods certainly don’t make it seem like he’s treating his knees like pieces of fine china. Forte’s agent, Adisa Bakari, felt compelled to speak out on the issue.
“Matt Forte is among the most, if not the most, durable, all-purpose running back in the NFL,” Bakari told the Chicago Sun-Times. “The 2011 season was the first season of his career that he missed any games. Had the Bears been playoff contenders, he could have returned for the balance of the season. To question his durability at this stage in his career is absurd.”
Forte probably believed his consistent production on the field had long since answered any questions about his durability. It has to be frustrating to worry that might not be enough.

Any word yet on how much ‘hurt feelings’ money Shockey wants? He’s unemployed, and has to be getting pretty desperate for cash.
After all the $ #it he taked about the Raiders, i do not feel sorry for that man!!!
Ha!
punk deserves what he gets
Sapp was funny on NFL Gameday mornings just because he never held back his feelings. Oh well
This is what you get when you open ya fat mouth boy. Now take what you get!
Pay your child support ya deadbeat…nothing worse than a “man” not supporting his kids….
When will these people learn you better be careful what you say in this era of social networking and instant media?
Before someone chimes in and says Sapp should sue because his right to free speech was violated,it wasn’t.
The only thing our right to free speech guarantees is the Government can’t arrest us for expressing our opinions. It doesn’t protect us from a private employer firing us for saying something stupid on Twitter or facebook.
What is it the same people running the nfl are the ones running the network. So he outed bitch Shocky and then they ask him to say it on air. They see all the backlash and now it was wrong for him to say anything???? What kind of sense that make. Good job job there nfl.
Bye Warren! Enjoy being a penniless jerk, no one will give the time of day to!
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Sincerely,
Chad Clifton
GOOD! loud mouth!..so animated when he talked, eyes going all over the place..overrated player too
So, what you’re saying is the NFL is acting hypocritically in this instance? You’re kidding! They would NEVER do that (for those too slow to get it, that’s sarcasm). This is a huge mistake as Sapp is one of the only watchable “analysts” they have on that network.
That stinks bc I enjoyed listening to him instead of loudmouth knucklehead Irvin or stiffboard Warner or company man Faulk. Troll siciliano on the weekly coverage is terrible too. Sapp gave that group swagger and character. #sappyoudaman
Sapp is a big idiot !
Glad that Sapp won’t be on TV anymore, but a gutless thing to do for the NFL network. They put him on the air to discuss his tweet about the snitch, then they get rid of him because he tweeted about the snitch.
Good…. Bad analysis chased by an arrogance that is unbearable. Could not have happened to a bigger loser.
How did he screw his life up so bad? At least now I know why he took every appearance on a show offered him (BBQ Pitmasters, Dancing with the Stars).
Sapp’s television future was in jeopardy long before his “Shockey/Snitch” story. Let’s face it, he (along with a bunch of his co-workers) just wasn’t that good.
What goes around comes around.
Whichever way it goes, it’ll be hard to find many people staunchly on Sapp’s side. He’s managed to alienate most every football fan out there, and not with humility. The bankruptcy only compounds his problems. A tough lesson for Sapp, maybe too late in life for him to turn it around.
Well there goes that 45K a month, now hoes he gonna pay his child support and take care of his kids????, oh wait……….nevermind
Good riddance. Time for this arrogant know-it-all to sell some shoes and pay some child support.
GOOD!!!! I have not heard him make an insightful comment…..
You’re getting pretty bold with the NFL, Florio. Your comments are starting to sound like a scorned woman.
Good.
UM bum..
Not once in this column did you point out that Roger Goodell has stated that Shockey was not the “snitch”, thereby continuing the myth.
This would make for a great episode on Daniel Tosh’s “Ha Ha Now You’re Poor Time”
They should fire him for being an idiot and one of the worst analysts on that network and that’s saying something when Michael Irvin, Jamie Dukes and Marshall Faulk are on the same network. Oh and Neon Deion!
45k a month, and bankrupt….as Bugs Bunny would say ‘What a maroon’
Right or wrong? I don’t care. Don’t let the door hit ya in the a** on the way out.
What a Sapp.
