Remember way back when? The Bears were in the Super Bowl and their elite defense carried them there. It seems almost as long ago as the Cubs' last World Series win.

No real surprise here at number 1. SI ranked Shawne "Lights Out" Merriman as the best defender in the NFL under 25. I love to argue with all lists, but this one is hard to argue with. No rookies were put in the top 10. Tell me if you can think of anyone who got left off.

I grew up in the second city. I was one year old when the Bears shuffled to their only Super Bowl ever, so I missed all the hoopla (but it didn't keep me from memorizing the song). I've seen alot of things with the Bears in my relatively short life. Ditka's tongue and middle finger poses for the   more...

At the Super Bowl, one of the most interesting phenomenon was the sheer number of people wearing jerseys. At any sporting event, the percentage of people wearing jerseys is higher than in normal life...football being the highest from my informal survey. But when a big game hits, the percentage   more...

The Chicago Bears pull out an unusual late fourth quarter 19-16 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. No timeouts, 97 yards, and no touchdowns on 9 previous drives sums this one up as classic.

Despite its recent struggles, the Bears defense should be healthy enough to do its part in the playoffs.

What is a Bears' fan to make of a 42-27 win? Way too much scoring by both teams.

If you want to watch Ben Roethlisberger and Derek Anderson fight to a draw in a sloppily defended touchdownfest, go right ahead. But you'd be missing valuable information abou the six games that really matter.Ok so I went 3-5, getting me to 17-22. I won't make it to .500 this week, so the streak   more...

The Wild Card weekend was filled with terrible coaching, exciting finishes, and head scratching plays. But that's last week...what's going to happen this week? In the AFC, there are 4 heavy weights left...all battling for a chance for glory. In the NFC...well, there are 4   more...
