Orlando Pace: The silent treatment

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:34:49 -0500

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- "Sorry guys, I'm not speaking today," Bears left tackle Orlando Pace said Monday at Halas Hall. A disappointing response from a player who should understand the importance of veterans stepping up and facing the music after a disastrous loss. Pace entered the NFL in 1997, and no doubt has experienced these types of defeats during his illustrious 13-year career. It would have been nice to get some insight from the future hall of famer, maybe some wisdom ... an...

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- All week the Chicago Bears have been harping on missed defensive opportunities and third-down conversions. Here are two more glaring stats from the loss to the Falcons: Sacks -- 0QB Hits -- 0 That's not going to cut it, especially when facing a veteran quarterback like Cincinnati's Carson Palmer. "With Carson Palmer, because he's a veteran, he's better than Matt Ryan," defensive end Adewale Ogunleye said. "He the kind of guy, if we don't...

In Chicago, He Who Dealt It Is Also Fined For It

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:11:30 -0500

The issuance of flatus during film sessions is enough of a disruptive force for the Bears that any player who lets one loose is slapped with a $20 fine. Now, before you go thinking that Lovie Smith has become a taskmaster on par with Eric Mangini, who, if you'll recall, fined a player four figures for not paying for a $3 water bottle during the preseason, this is a matter of self-policing by Bears players. At least that's what Bears defensive tackle Anthony Adams has divulged in a ...

McNabb Wins MVP!

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 12:20:42 -0500

I'm so proud of my mom. She just won an MVP award! Recently Eddie George came up with the NFL Moms Weight Loss Challenge. They competed as teams to see who could lose the most weight. Well, my mom's team won and she was the MVP, having lost 40 pounds during the course of the 2007 NFL season. Congratulations Mom and all the other moms as well. Here's a look at the press release? Nashville, TN ? Feb. 1, 2008: Eddie George, former all-pro running back and current media personality, recently wore a t-shirt on national television that read "I Love Hot Moms!" He surely does, and proved it by guiding 26 members of the NFL's Professional Football Mothers Association to over 200 pounds of weight loss and great lifestyle changes. The mother's will speak of their successes on his radio show on Monday. In September of 2007, Eddie's company, EGX Lifestyle, challenged the moms to change the way they ate, cooked, and exercised. The moms were divided into teams representing the AFC and the NFC. Eddie then devised a 16-week program for them and personally worked them out and monitored them with the help of his staff of professionals. The Results? The NFC won the conference battle, judged by how much weight and/or percentage of body fat lost. However, both teams of ladies are now carrying the proud mantle of "Hot Moms," because they've been changed forever. Constance Davis, mother of Anthony Adams (Chicago Bears), lost 51 pounds; Wilma McNabb, mother of Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb, won the MVP award for her hard work, dedication, and lost of 40 pounds; Mary Gurode, mother of Andre Gurode (Dallas Cowboys), got high-school skinny. The most touching story came from Gladys Bettis, mother of retired NFL star Jerome Bettis. Through the EGX Lifestyle program, she lost over 30 pounds, and in the process, discovered a heart problem that was previously undetected. She ended up having quintuple bypass surgery, a life-saving procedure that may not have been found had she not undertaken Eddie's program with vigor.
