An Ode to the Old Man

As crazy as it sounds, I remember September 20th, 1992 quite vividly. I was in the hospital that no longer is operational (Ravenswood) for what appeared to be an Asthma attack. It was my freshman year of high school and there I was stuck in a hospital room. As you can imagine, there’s not much […]

Chicago Bears Update

I have to say I was a little disappointed with the Bears not getting a bonafied shot at Michael Turner. Turner gets a six year deal worth 34.5 million (15 mil guaranteed), but more importantly knows he’ll be the primary back before camp even starts. Had he come to Chicago, he would have shared duties […]

Super Bowl Recap

Just a few observations…
1. Media: There’s nothing more enjoyable than seeing Sean Salisbury and Keyshawn Johnson back themselves into a corner with a “super safe” pick and then try to B.S. their way out of it and talk like it never happened. I’ve never seen sports commentators turn 180 like that before. These 2 clowns […]

Wait A New York Minute

Unfortunately, the end of the NFL season is upon us. The cold weather (very cold here) is making things even more difficult, especially when there seems to be nothing good on TV in terms of sports (although ESPN’s replays of “NFL’s Greatest Games” is a nice touch…). We enter the second week before the Super […]

Championship Sunday

What a difference a year makes. At this time last year, we all thought Brett Favre would wind up in Mississippi golfing in retirement and Tom Coughlin would be either be fired before the 2007 season began or would be fired after week 3. Oh, and there were the Bears preparing for the Saints in […]

Bears After Week 15

I don’t remember the last time I didn’t care if the Bears won or lost a game, especially on Monday night. It also didn’t help that I was in a fantasy football semifinal against someone who had Greg Olsen as their last active player for the week and I was up 20 points (and yes, […]

Recap: Bears vs. Giants

As inconsistent as the Bears are, they’ve been consistent in one category: not being able to win consecutive games this season. After the first drive, it looked as if the Bears were going to exemplify the growing problems with the Eli Manning, Tom Coughlin, and the New York Giants. Instead, the Bears lost a game […]

Next Up: Bears vs. Giants

This week, Rex Grossman will have something in common with the opposition’s quarterback. They’re both former SEC quarterbacks in big markets that still have yet to prove their worth as premier NFL quarterbacks. The Giants are coming off a demoralizing loss to Minnesota where Eli Manning matched a career high with 4 interceptions, 3 of […]

Recap: Bears vs. Broncos

A tad belated..
It’s odd to even think the Bears can discuss any possible chance of making an NFC wildcard appearance, however, until they lose their seventh game its somewhat of a reality. Even further, its hard to mutter “playoffs” with a team that’s not even .500.
The win against Denver was a symbolic game as […]
