Chicago Bears
No One Wants to Coach in Chicago
Jan 14th
Well, maybe not no one – Chicago Bears’ coach Lovie Smith probably still wants to coach there, but he hasn’t exactly been given a recipe that’s likely to result in success. After firing half of his staff, simply because the Bears’ organization was too cheap to do what they really wanted to do and fire [...]
Ditka!
Jan 8th
Can’t say I was really a fan of Mike Ditka when he was coach of the Chicago Bears. After all, this was the guy who tried to run up the score and used William “The Refrigerator” Perry against our beloved Green Bay Packers. But Ditka was nothing if not entertaining, whether berating Jim Harbaugh for [...]
Cleaning House In Chicago
Jan 6th
Well, the Chicago Bears were too cheap to fire coach Lovie Smith after all, but they did do plenty of house cleaning on Tuesday. First, let’s address Smith. He’s under contract for two more years at a total of $11 million. Despite going 23-25 in the past three seasons, including 7-9 this season, the Bears [...]
Lowly Bears Apologize To Fans In Full-Page Ad
Jan 4th
Ah, how the mighty have fallen. Picked by some in the preseason to win the Super Bowl, the Chicago Bears instead struggled to a 7-9 record and failed to make the playoffs for the third season in a row. In response, the team took out a full-page ad in two of Chicago’s papers Monday apologizing [...]
Did Cutler Flip Off Chicago Fans?
Dec 29th
One of the more entertaining stories coming out of the Chicago Bears’ delightful OT victory over the slumping Minnesota Vikings involves Bears quarterback/mouth breather extraordinaire Jay Cutler. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio asks whether Cutler flipped off Chicago fans after they booed the Bears’ decision to take a knee with nine seconds left in regulation [...]
Shanahan Wants to Coach the Bears
Dec 25th
Former Denver Broncos’ coach and Chicago native Mike Shanahan is “extremely interested” in coaching the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN. Shanahan would be reunited with Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler, who had two strong seasons under Shanahan in Denver, if he did take over in the Windy City. “The job is really attractive to Mike,” a [...]
Lovie May Be Done In Chicago, But He Isn’t the Real Problem
Dec 22nd
We’ve alluded to the distinct possibility that Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith may be finished in the Windy City, but the strongest evidence to support this possibility emerged after the Bears’ pathetic 31-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, on Sunday. In some circles, it was thought that Smith was safe because the organization was unlikely [...]
The Bears Can’t Even Leave Chicago Properly
Dec 19th
The Chicago Bears are bad this season, but now we have confirmed that their ineptitude stretches beyond the field. The Bears can’t get to Baltimore to play their game against the Ravens tomorrow. The team was supposed to leave Chicago at 10:30 Friday night. That didn’t happen. The team sat on the plane for two [...]
Packers Killing Them Softly
Dec 13th
The Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 21-14 to keep the team in playoff position. It was a satisfying win for the team, but one that should or could have been a blowout. The Packers lead 13-0 in the first half, but as they’ve done all season, let their opponent back into the game [...]
Oh Yeah, Packers Are Playing The Bears This Week
Dec 12th
In case you forgot, the Green Bay Packers are playing the Chicago Bears this week. That had kind of slipped my mind because… what’s that old song? Oh yeah, it’s this one. The Bears (5-7) are bad this season for a lot of reasons. Most noted is the fact quarterback Jay Culter leads the league [...]
Chicago Bears’ Quarterbacks Micro Machine Style
Dec 1st
The Chicago Bears have had a lot of quarterbacks over the years – most of them bad. As a Green Bay Packers’ fan, that gives me a warm feeling inside not unlike that of a belly full of whiskey. Here’s a rundown of the Bears’ quarterbacks by John Moschitta Jr., who you may remember as [...]
Chicago Bears Already Looking For Lovie’s Replacement
Dec 1st
At least if you believe several reports that have come out this week. It really should surprise no one, however, if Chicago Bears’ coach Lovie Smith coaches his last game for the team on January 3rd at Ford Field. The Bears, at 4-7, have been atrocious this season after just about everyone in Chicago anointed [...]
In Case You Missed Devin Hester’s Ass
Nov 23rd
We’ve got it right here for you! If, like me, you were watching something exciting on television last night like the MLS Cup instead of the two crap teams NBC put on Sunday Night Football, you probably missed it. Well, not to worry. We have the shot of Chicago Bears’ receiver Devin Hester’s ass for [...]
Chicago: Where Quarterbacks Go To Die
Nov 19th
We all know what happens when the Green Bay Packers aren’t playing well. We all pile on coach Mike McCarthy (and rightfully so) and general manager Ted Thompson. Well, in Chicago they do it a little differently. When the Bears are playing poorly, they pile it on their former Messiah, quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler has [...]
No, Dan Grossman, Father Doesn’t Know Best
Nov 18th
Chalk this one up to embarrassing things my pushy parents say. Except in this case, the “child” is 29-year-old former Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman. And the parent is his dad, Dan, an ophthalmologist from Bloomington, Ind., who came out swinging Monday against his son’s former team. The elder Grossman essentially blamed the Bears‘ organization [...]
Bears Trade for DE Gaines Adams
Oct 17th
The Chicago Bears drew first blood against the Green Bay Packers in the trade market Friday, trading for Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Gaines Adams. Adams was the fourth overall selection in the 2007 NFL Draft out of Clemson, but he has been an underachiever for the Bucs. The Bears sent a 2010 second-round pick [...]
Taking a Time Out for Some Chicago Bears Delusion
Sep 30th
I about crapped right in my pants when I read this headline from the Chicago Tribune. You ready for this? “Is Jay Cutler the second coming of Tom Brady?” That’s a real headline. Seriously. My sides hurt from laughing. Anyway, in this brilliant article Rick Morrissey deftly explains why Cutler, the Chicago Bears savior, may [...]
The Packers Defensive Resurgence Begins On The Line And A Few Other Notes
Sep 16th
No, it wasn’t lost on us. We pointed out how well the Green Bay Packers defense played in week one both during the game and in the aftermath. That, however, has been somewhat lost in the blather surrounding the terrible performance of the Packers offensive line. It should be noted, though, both Cullen Jenkins and [...]
Final Notes On The Packers vs. Bears
Sep 14th
The Green Bay Packers escaped Lambeau Field with a 21-15 victory over the Chicago Bears last night. I say escaped because despite a rousing performance by the Packers’ defense, which forced Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler into four interceptions and held Matt Forte to just 55 yards rushing, the team was lucky to come out with [...]
Packers Bears Live Blog
Sep 13th
Big time play by a big time player: Al Harris to close it out! Packers 21-15. ———- My stupid friends who are Bears fans just texted me before that play to Jennings. Idiots! mwahahahahahaha! ———- I apologize, that would be Aaron Rodger’s third fourth quarter comeback. The first two were against the Lions, which really [...]
