Bears to pass on Chris Simms?

The Bears had talks about acquiring quarterback Chris Simms, but those talks have died down, the source said. Simms visited Baltimore on Monday but did not sign with the Ravens. He was released by Tampa Bay on Saturday. Simms appeared to be a viable option earlier in the off-season, but the Bears don't want to shake up the roster at this point. They kept undrafted free agent Caleb Hanie on the roster behind Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman. --Chicago Tribune

Ravens consider Willie Anderson?

The Ravens have been in preliminary discussions with free agent offensive tackle Willie Anderson, who was cut by the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend. The San Diego Chargers and the Chicago Bears are other possible destinations for the former Pro Bowl lineman. -- Carroll County Times

Pope Paul IV (June 28, 1476 – August 18, 1559), né Giovanni Pietro Carafa, was Pope from May 23, 1555 until his death.

[edit] Biography

Giovanni Pietro Carafa was born in Capriglia Irpina, near Avellino, into a prominent noble family of Naples. His father Giovanni Antonio Carafa died in West Flanders in 1516 and his mother Vittoria Camponeschi was the daughter of Pietro Lalle Camponeschi, 5th Conte di Montorio, a Neapolitan nobleman, and wife Dona Maria de Noronha, a Portuguese noblewoman of the House of Pereira Senhores dos Lagares de El-Rei and Senhores de Paiva, Baltar e Cabeceiras de Basto. His title in the Prophecy of St. Malachy is "Of the Faith of Peter." He was mentored by Cardinal Oliviero Carafa, his relative, who resigned the see of Chieti (Latin Theate) in his favor. Under the direction of Pope Leo X, he was ambassador to England and then papal nuncio in Spain, where he conceived a violent detestation of Spanish rule that affected the policies of his later papacy.
