Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris has apparently embraced the diplomatic approach to his deactivation Monday night. In his first extensive comments since he was inactive, Harris told reporters after practice today that he doesn't want to be traded. "No, I don't want to be traded. I love Chicago," he said. "I love my team. I love my teammates. And I play hard for this city." Harris said he he "just had to do what was best for the team." Asked if it was best he didn't play, Harris said, "You'll have to ask coach [Lovie Smith] that question." Harris also deferred to Smith on whether he will play Sunday against the New York Giants and if he knew before Monday about his deactivation. Yet Harris admitted that he didn't play up to his own standards in the first two games, when he tallied just one tackle and recovered a fumble. "I did all right, but I didn't do Tommie Harris good," he said. "My standards are at a Pro Bowl level. I will get to that." Source: Chicago Sun-Times
