Via Sportress of Blogitude  |  July 19, 2012
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler needn’t worry about his historically awful rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” last Saturday in front of terrified and likely traumatized onlookers at Wrigley Field. Why? Because Young MC has got his back. Wait. What? In case you missed it, Cutler’s performance of the traditional song sung during [...]

Continuing to examine the 2012 Chicago Bears draft picks and where they fit into plans we come to rookie safety Brandon Hardin.

For The Chicago Bears, Now Is The Time

Via Midwest Sports Fans  |  July 18, 2012
With the Bears and Matt Forte ending their soap opera by striking a long-term agreement, the Monsters of the Midway now have virtually no distractions heading into training camp next week. That allows the Bears to focus solely on the task at hand: winning a Super Bowl title. And they better do it quickly, because after this year the window may be closing. Jay Cutler, Matt Forte...

Chicago Bears veteran on the hot seat: Devin Hester

Via Midway Illustrated  |  July 19, 2012
Devin Hester is the best return man in the history of the NFL. You would think that is all you'd have to write about Hester given the excitement that builds with every thump of a punt towards him.  The drama is palpable up until the whistle blows or Hester crosses the goal line. That's part of the fun of having Hester on the team, he's a threat to score a touchdown...

Jay Cutler Can't Sing and Other Obvious News

Via The Mark Graham Sports Blog  |  July 19, 2012
Chicago sports fans are still kind of upset at Jay Cutler for leaving the NFC Championship Game with what appeared to be a minor, if any, injury. So what better to improve his image with people within Chicagoland than to sing during the seventh inning stretch. It didn't go well. Cutler isn't a singer, but it seemed like it put as much effort into the song as he did the...

He wants me to what T? Late 80′s Rapper Young MC wants to give Cutler a second chance at singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” when the Bears’ QB rolls into nearby Bourbonnais for training camp later this month.

Chicago Bears 2012 NFL Season Preview

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  July 20, 2012
Offense The Bears were off to a 7-3 start last year, one year after going 11-5 and making it to the NFC Championship game. In my opinion, the Bears’ 7-3 start last year was more impressive. Their 11-5 2010 record was not fully indicative of how they played. They had a Pythagorean Expectation of just 9.4 wins and that was in spite of the fact that their 11 wins were against a 6...
