The Bears land Jay Cutler for Orton and some draft picks

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

As I said in my Twitter, I am VERY excited that the Bears got Jay Cutler from the Broncos.
The first question I have to ask is, “What did the Bears give up?” First, Kyle Orton. I really like Kyle Orton and I think he has a long future in the NFL. But, I’m not sure [...]

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Now the Pro Bowl may have a little more interest to a wide audience. According to reports, the game will be played in Miami the week between the end of the playoffs and the Super Bowl. In recent years the Pro Bowl has been a total letdown after the Super Bowl. Many players opt to [...]

Bears survive against the Eagles

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Not even 4 turnovers could stop the Bears on Sunday night. The Bears defense came up huge in a goal line stand to preserve the Bears lead. The Bears had blown leads the past 2 weeks and didn’t want this one to slip away. Philadelphia had never lead in the game and the Eagles put [...]

The Seahawks cut Alexander unconditionally. Perhaps worth a look for the Bears?

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Shaun Alexander wore out his welcome here in Seattle and was cut by the Seahawks Tuesday in a move that surprised no one. He was just 2 years into an 8 year contract worth $62 million. Because he’s a football player that money is not guaranteed so Alexander out a hefty chunk of change. But [...]

The Bears sign 2 washed up wide receivers to replace the 2 they just let go

Monday, March 10th, 2008

The Bears have picked up re-tred Marty Booker and notorious malcontent Brandon Lloyd to round out their receiving corps.
These signings leave the Bears without a go to receiver for any of their inadequete quarterbacks to throw.
I think Jerry Angelo should have his General Manager card taken away when it comes to signing offensive players. [...]

Mushin Muhammad is not the Bears problem anymore

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Tra-la, tra-la, tra-la.
Mushin, thanks for bringing that veteran “leadership” and for letting your play do the talking. It really spoke more loudly than you ever could have.
The funny thing is that the Carolina Panthers are bringing him back. Don’t they know just as well as the Bears that Mushin isn’t all he’s cracked up to [...]

The Bears bring Grossman back to torture their fans

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

So we’re in for another year of “Rex is our quarterback”. Ugh. The Bears say that Grossman will have to compete for the starting job with Kyle Orton, Brian Griese or whomever the Bears bring in at quarterback. Hopefully they’ll draft a solid QB in the upcoming draft, but my confidence in Jerry Angelo drafting [...]
