OK, perhaps I may be a bit biased, but the Chicago Bears’ performance — offense, defense, special teams — Thursday night vs. the Dallas Cowboys reaffirms the obvious: The franchise needs to take a bold step. Namely, bring back the Honey Bears! At the very least, couldn’t the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have been at the […]
With a 34-17 loss to the Lions on Thursday in Detroit, the Chicago Bears unquestionably took a step backward as well as closer to the 2015 season. The question becomes who — if anyone — took a step closer to the exit door for being around next season. * Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was 31-of-48 […]
Monday meanderings: The Chicago Bears have a winning streak. All of two games, even if it might not feel like it. Meaning a team that was 3-6 is 5-6. As incredible as all that might sound, the Bears’ 21-13 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Soldier Field was made possible because of […]
Sunday smorgasbord: Deal or no deal? If you’re a Chicago Bears fan, would you trade current coach Marc Trestman for his predecessor Lovie Smith? And saying you want neither is not an option. Feel free to wait until after Sunday’s Bears-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, if you like. * Inquiring minds also want to know: If […]
Monday meanderings: Imagine the Chicago Bears without quarterback Jay Cutler and running back Matt Forte and with second-stringers replacing them. That’s pretty much the Minnesota Vikings, the team the Bears defeated 21-13 Sunday at Soldier Field. But, hey, it still counts as a full victory — something the Bears had not enjoyed in their first […]
Monday meanderings: In the aftermath of their 55-14 loss Sunday night at Green Bay, the Chicago Bears do have a bright spot (well, bright being a relative term). They return to play at Soldier Field on Nov. 16 against the Minnesota Vikings (4-5). As in the only team in the NFC North that the Bears […]
Monday meanderings: For about three quarters of the Chicago Bears-San Francisco 49ers game, it appeared the highlight for Sunday — at least for some of us — was going to be having mowed the front yard. Or putting in some solar-powered lights along the front steps. Yes, it was that incredible a day in the […]
The Baltimore Ravens released running back Ray Rice on Monday. The National Football League suspended him indefinitely. Better late than never? Well, presumably so because the league already had suspended him two games for domestic violence — a punishment considered fairly light in light of the fact that the NFL suspends players for lesser crimes […]
Monday meanderings: OK, so the highlight of Super Bowl XLVIII was Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers performing at halftime. Or Queen Latifah singing “America the Beautiful” or Renee Fleming singing the national anthem. Unless you were a Seattle Seahawks fan. In which case the 43-8 victory against the Denver Broncos just might […]
Super Sunday smorgasbord (bowl optional): The best thing about Super Bowl Sunday will be whatever diversions it can create so that some of us will take a break from shoveling snow. That said (or in this case, written), having a driveway cleared of snow to provide self-esteem does seem somewhat similar to having self-esteem based […]
