Would I want Favre on the Bears?

Brett Favre is up to his annual "me, me, me" shenanigans, though instead of the world asking, "are you going to retire?!", the world is asking, "are you coming back?!" He just retired a few months back, and the media bent over backwards to basically kiss his ass as he walked...

Bears Backfield: Who's Next?

Unless you've been living in a cave, you may have heard that the Bears cut Cedric Benson on Monday. There's not much to say about this move, other than: Benson's performance on the field wasn't worth all the distractions. You can bet your ass that he wouldn't have been cut had he...

Are you kidding me?!?? Benson busted again

Cedric Benson's offseason is getting worse. After getting charged for boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest a month ago, he was charged with driving while intoxicated last night. Second-round-pick Matt Forte had this to say about the incident. Benson, as usual, maintains his innocence. He...

Bears show where their priorities are and sign Gould

I guess extending Tommie Harris and Devin Hester on top of placating Brian Urlacher weren't the top goals of the Bears this offseason, as they signed kicker Robbie Gould to a five-year, 15 million dollar deal today. His field goal percentage is awfully good, but that's a lot of money for a guy...

Stuff I Like: Podcasts

I love my iPod. I held out for the longest time in getting one. I used to be an "early adopter" with new technology, but that sort of fell by the wayside as I moved into my late 20s. This also coincides with the time that iPods started taking off. When they came out, I thought they were kind...

Bears Draft Results: Who needs a QB, anyways?

So the draft was this weekend and the Bears, I must admit, did OK where it matters most: the first three rounds. In general, though, the draft was a bit perplexing to this Bears fan. How can they not take a Quarterback? At all? But lets jump back a moment and talk about the picks that were good. What...

Bears Draft Preview

My preference for the Bears draft conforms with that of the conventional media: Take a Left Tackle with the #14 pick. As far as I'm concerned, any of the top four guys will do (Long, Clady, Otah, Williams -- Long's already gone, of course). I'm a little leery of the fifth guy (Cherilus),...

NFL Franchise QBs: How do the Bears stack up?

With the draft coming up, I was thinking about "franchise QBs" and why the Bears were so lousy at acquiring them. I then started to wonder how the Bears stacked up against the other 31 NFL teams in terms of Quarterbacks and how bad they really were. I mean, there's only so many Joe Montanas...

ESPN's All-Time Draft Busts: Where are all the Bears?

ESPN has a big feature on the top 50 draft busts of all time . I am both shocked and appalled that only two Bears made the list. (Curtis Enis at #20 and Cade McNown at #40.) Its a sham and a mockery. It's a shamockery. With that in mind, I'm going to present my own personal list of Biggest Draft...

Bears Offseason News: Latest on Harris, Hester and the 2008 Schedule

Lots going on with the Bears over the last seven days: Contract talks with Tommie Harris broke off. There's lots of time left before the season starts, but this is not a good sign. I don't think I'm overstating this by saying that it's imperative that the Bears extend Tommie Harris. I...
