Soon after Cardinals safety Antrel Rolle was released by the Cardinals earlier today, it was reported that the Bears are already in negotiations with his agent Drew Rosenhaus.  And just two weeks after CEO Ted Phillips stated publicly that the Bears wouldn’t go “hog wild” in free agency, it also appears that the Bears may […]

I’m seeing more and more articles indicating that the Bears will be serious players for Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers.  This is surprising to me after team president Ted Phillips announced that the Bears would not go “hog wild” for new players.
The team that lands Peppers will most certainly have to go hog wild.  Don […]

The last time the Bears raised ticket prices after an unsuccessful season, when I voiced a little frustration, I got bashed with the implication that season ticket holders should feel honored to have them no matter how expensive they are.  So I’ll just start with one comment I received about it:
The fact the Bears raised […]

Not that this is a news flash or anything-it’s not.  But there’s literally nothing else Bears-related to discuss at the present time.
As we know, despite experts feeling that this was finally his year, Richard Dent again failed to make the Hall of Fame in voting Super Bowl weekend.
Up until this year, even I thought that […]

OK all, you’ve seen plenty of frustration from me over the three plus seasons I’ve been updating this blog in conjunction with my main site www.bearshistory.com.  (Hard to believe that sucker has been online for 10 years now).
And in my opinion there is a 50/50 chance that Mike Martz’ system will flop in Chicago, and […]

So the Chicago Bears have interviewed Mike Martz for the open (that’s an understatement) offensive coordinator position.  This is somewhat of a surprise given that he was the fourth or fifth candidate to interview.
I had many concerns with the potential of hiring Martz, before the clown car pulled up and five candidates said no thanks, […]

In 2003, I did want to see Dick Jauron and his staff fired.  However, it was also my opinion that if Jerry Angelo didn’t already know who the right person to replace Jauron was–the person that would be better than Jauron thus the reason for terminating Jauron, then he might as well not do it.
Angelo […]

Greg Knapp, former offensive coordinator in several NFL cities?  Now gone to Houston.
Gene Saunders, disciple of Air Coryell, coordinator of one of the great all-time offenses in Kansas City earlier this decade?  Unemployed.
Jim Fassel, widely respected offensive mind?  Unemployed.
As much concern as I have had over Mike Martz, I’d take him at this point over […]

I caught Zach Zaidman and Dan Hampton talking Bears on the Score this morning.  Hampton was highly critical of the current state of affairs, stating that he doesn’t think Lovie Smith will change any of his ways of thinking despite the situation in which he finds himself.  Zaidman’s opinion is that Smith and Jerry Angelo […]

Yesterday, it seems Broncos coach Josh McDaniels may have pulled a Lovie Smith.  The Broncos and defensive coordinator Mike Nolan have “mutually agreed to part ways”.  Which seems to be more like “McDaniels wants to hire a buddy from New England,” just as Smith wanted to replace a successful Ron Rivera in 2007 with one […]
