NO RESPECT
The 15 worst championship teams
US PRESSWIRE The 2011-12 New York Giants are Super Bowl Champions. That can never be taken away from them, just as their previous Super Bowl can never be taken away. In a sports almanac, it won't have an asterisk next to their championships, nor should there be. They didn't cheat, they didn't do anything illegal, they beat everyone in front of them, but that doesn't make them the...

This time, Hanie has time to get nervous

Memo to Martz: Orton exactly what Bears need
Steve Rosenbloom: What the Bears need now is a quarterback who won't lose a playoff spot, a game manager -- and that's Kyle Orton. If Mike Martz wants one of "his" guys, I have two words for you: Todd Collins.

Former Hesiman Trophy Winner Troy Smith Heading To The Bears?
Is Troy Smith heading to the Windy City to backup inexperienced Caleb Hanie?
The former Heisman Trophy winner at Ohio State could be a nice option off the bench for the Bears.
Last season, the team opted to sign veteran Todd Collins and everyone saw what a big mistake that was.
With limited options available currently, Smith might be the best quarterback on the market.
Smith is only...

After Loss The The Dolphins, I Think The Redskins Have Quarterback Issues
The gambling houses set the 1-7 Miami Dolphins as 4-point favorites over the Washington Redskins. I had a gut feeling that the Redskins would lose today, but the homer in me refused to accept the thought. Denial is the cruelest deception.
If Washington cannot beat the Dolphins with Matt Moore at quarterback, then there are no "beatable" teams on their schedule. There would...

Bears Loss Feels Like Giant Deja Vu
An early season-loss that featured an offensive line that resembled Swiss Cheese, a jittery quarterback on the run, an unbalanced offensive attack, plenty of injuries, and complete ineptitude on third downs. Quick quiz: Does that describe the Bears loss to the Saints on Sunday, or the nightmare game against the Giants last season?
Seeing Cutler go down in successive plays induced...

Preseason finale could loom large in shaping Bears' final roster

Last year, Henry Melton was on the bubble going into the preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns, but he solidified his roster spot with seven tackles in a standout game. Melton established himself in the rotation at defensive tackle last season, and now the Bears are counting on him taking...

Get Knox back in starting lineup
Remember last season when Mike Martz made Todd Collins the Bears’ No. 2 quarterback ahead of Caleb Hanie?
Remember how, even after Collins was intercepted 4 times against the Panthers and completed 6 of 16 passes for 32 yards and a passer rating of 6.2 in his only start, he remained the No. 2 quarterback because Martz felt better with a veteran quarterback backing up Cutler rather...

What The Experts Missed about the Chicago Bears Free Agency Moves…
For a team that plays in the second-largest NFL media market, the Chicago Bears get about as much respect as the former Rodney Dangerfield. The Chicago Bears had a fine off-season by addressing needs through the draft and free agency, but the so-called “experts” are fixated on the loss of long-time center Olin Kreutz (now with the New Orleans Saints) and the trade of...

My Feelings on Chicago Bears Head Coach Lovie Smith
I think Lovie Smith should have been fired after having Todd Collins take meaningful snaps during the Chicago Bears loss in last season’s NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers. There was absolutely no excuse and it ultimately cost the Chicago Bears any chance of winning that game. Every good decision he made during the regular season was totally destroyed by that...

The Bears signaled something interesting when they drafted Idaho quarterback Nathan Enderle in the 2011 NFL Draft. Like the year prior (when the Bears selected the now departed Dan LeFevour) it’s been said that offensive coordinator Mike Martz really liked Enderle and felt that he could groom him into a starting...

Ravens need to find a veteran backup quarterback
If Marc Bulger finds a starting job elsewhere in the NFL -- which many expect he will do -- the Ravens need to add a veteran quarterback to take his spot.
In fact, general manager Ozzie Newsome recently said signing one would be a priority in free agency along with adding a pass rusher and a fullback.
Under the 2010 rules (which means six accrued seasons to become an unrestricted...
