Rick Morrissey of the Tribune this morning calls Jay Cutler a quitter and would not want the Bears to sign him. Of course Morrissey and his colleagues get paid to write about the nonstandard view. Of course I would lean toward wanting the Bears to sign Cutler since they haven’t had a longterm answer at [...]

Or the headline should read: I WANT MY OPENING DAY BACK! The Chicago Tribune has revealed that one of the items to come out of this week’s NFL owner’s meetings is that the Bears will visit the Packers on opening night, Sunday September 13th, for a nationally televised game.

Good thing the Bears moved up their minicamp several months, or we’d really have nothing to talk about this offseason with Jerry Angelo’s relative lack of moves to improve the team. Oh, wait, we could talk about Kyle being our quarterback. For daily updates on the minicamp, I find the best place is Brad Biggs’ [...]

I am still very appreciative of Rashied for a couple of big catches he made in 2006. The two biggest that come to mind were his touchdown catch at Minnesota, pulling off a [...]

Wow. In a very interesting tidbit, among a lot of interesting tidbits that come out of Brad Biggs’ Blog, yesterday a post described something Pit Kirwin said Tuesday on Sirius Radio. Kirwin, who claims to be long time friend with Bears’ GM Jerry Angelo, told a caller that Angelo has told him of at least [...]

So reports have it that the Dallas Cowboys have released talented but petulant receiver Terrell Owens. The Bears need receivers badly (not just A receiver, mind you), Owens is talented and available, so for days now there will be an avalanche of speculation from Bears fans and the media.

We’re almost a week into free agency, and as expected, the Chicago Bears haven’t done much. And Rex Grossman has yet to find a taker to help him prove he’s still one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. No surprise on either of those fronts. Actually in my opinion the Bears have done more [...]
