Lance Briggs: Bad News Bear?

Tank Johnson got all the media attention at Bears minicamp this weekend as linebacker Lance Briggs was expectedly a no-show. Lance is, of course, upset with being tagged Chicago’s franchise player and not getting a long-term deal. The franchise tag guarantees him a one-year contract worth $7.2 million (which is quite nice) but it prevents […]

Tank Johnson Willing to Accept Punishment

I feel like I could start a blog entitled “CSI:NFL” with all the negative media the National Football League has received recently and the efforts with which Commissioner Goodell has taken to solve the problems. But sometimes a negative story has a positive ending, as will hopefully be the case with Chicago Bears defensive tackle […]

Garrett Wolfe First Rookie to Sign

Chicago Bears third-round pick Garrett Wolfe was the first rookie of 2007 to sign a contract with the team that drafted him. The four-year deal was inked today and it solidifies a great situation for both the Bears and Garrett. Chicago gets the nation’s leading rusher (Div. I-A Northern Illinois) and Garrett, who grew up […]

Tank Johnson Gets Jail Time

I don’t usually like to deal with the negative when there is so much positive to talk about, but this story has been all over the national news today, so I felt it was my responsibility to at least give my take on the situation.
Chicago Bears DT Tank Johnson was sentenced to 120 days in […]

Briggs Deserves Long-Term Deal

So annoyed was Lance Briggs that the franchise tag was slapped on him by the Chicago Bears, that he has announced he will never play another down in the Windy City. The franchise tag, without very specific stipulations and agreed-upon understandings, is a slap in the face to most NFL players. Sure, it’s a nice […]

Lovie Smith Staying in Chicago

Lovie Smith was the lowest paid coach in the NFL. Then he took his Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl. His reward was not the coveted Lombardi Trophy, but it’s not a bad consolation prize. A much-deserved five-year, $23.45 million deal according to the Chicago Tribune. As recent as last week at the NFL Scouting […]

Bears Fan Changes Name to Peyton Manning

Did you hear about the Chicago fan who agreed, on a bet, to change his name to Peyton Manning if the Colts beat his beloved Bears in Super Bowl XLI? Well, Indy won the Super Bowl, of course. So today this pea brain, Scott Wiese, starts the process by paying a visit to the Macon […]

‘Super’ Team Effort as Colts Beat Bears

Peyton Manning won the MVP award. But it might as well have been the entire Colts team as they beat the Bears 29-17 in a rain-soaked Super Bowl XLI.
Peyton was a solid 25-38 for 247 and a TD. But, it was the Indy running game that put the dagger into the the heart of the […]

Super Bowl Coaches Share More Than History

Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith are more than great head football coaches. They’re also the first African-Americans to be head football coaches in a Super Bowl. Fittingly, this event will take place at Super Bowl XLI during Black History Month. The two will share this historic bond, but they also have something else in common […]
