Da Coach: Entertaining, Polarizing

I was glad to see nothing written on these comments in Friday morning’s Chicago Tribune, so I believe Mike Ditka’s comments from Thursday afternoon on ESPN Radio have not caused uproar, as some thought they would. In case you missed it, Ditka told ESPN Radio in Miami that he has “zero sympathy” for Jenn Sterger.  [...]

Vikings Fall to 1-3

On Sunday, the media’s assumed Super Bowl 45 champions lost to drop their record to 3-2.  Last night the Minnesota Vikings, the national media’s other shoo-in to win this year’s championship as of August, lost to the New York Jets to fall to 1-3. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears lead Green Bay by a game, and [...]

Anderson, Grant, Moss

Yesterday the Bears cut fifth-year defensive end Mark Anderson and signed former Saint Charles Grant from the UFL.  Bit of a surprise to me, but not much fretting.  Yes, Anderson tallied 12 sacks his rookie season, and has done virtually nothing since.  It was time to move on. In non-Bears news today, however, comes the [...]

Way to Go, Brett

Glad to see that last night’s opening NFL game turned out as I hoped it would.  Brett Favre looked rusty, and even more concerning for the Vikings, he looked tired and worn out.  This isn’t even my opinion-it was the opinion of the postgame commentators on NBC and the NFL Network. Favre played his same [...]

Vikings and Packers 2010

Since the Vikings play tonight to open the 2010 season, figured I’d write a few thoughts about them.  I can’t believe how excited I’ve been this week for football to start.  I’ll finally be able to sleep better tonight. I’m so looking forward to tonight’s game with the hope that it will finally be Brett [...]

Favre

That’s all I can title this post is “Favre”.  I’m sick of seeing or writing his name.  And I refuse to write more than one post per year about his annual attention fest.  This is all I will say.  I didn’t believe it for one second when I saw the breaking news yesterday.  I figured [...]

Benson Busted Again

Well, well, well.  Bears fans endured crowing from Bengals fans in 2009, and from Cedric Benson himself, when the runner bowled over the Bears in a lopsided Bengals win.  The Bears were stupid for ever releasing Benson due to a lackadaisical approach to his job, and several run-ins with the law.  We would see, they [...]

Tumbleweeds

Sorry for the lack of content, readers.  Absolutely nothing going on in the news with the Bears over the last several weeks.  If it were 10 years ago, I’d be busily working on new content for www.bearshistory.com.  But these days it’s working on work and family issues when I’m not, um, working. I do have [...]

Cade McNown Back in NFL?

I have no opinion on Notre Dame or Jimmy Clausen, positive or negative.  And I know a lot of people out there do hold such opinion.  This is not Bears related at all, but please read this blurb on Jimmy Clausen and try to tell me it doesn’t remind those that remember the less-than-prosperous Bears [...]

Sexy Rexy Is Back

Or at least he’s ready to tear it up according to a comment-poster at www.profootballtalk.com.  You have to love the ability for anyone to leave any comment anonymously these days.  In an article quoting new Redskin coach Mike Shanahan talk about his quarterback situation, commenter “Rex Grossman” (what else) writes:  Yes! Sexy Rexy Gunslinger Grossman [...]
