The Bears were depantsed by Brett Favre and the Vikings today, and the season is "officially" over. Just a brutal, brutal game. Almost 600 yards of offense for the Vikings while the Bears were held well less than 200 (and only two - two yards! - in the second...
Bears Whipped by Arizona. Time to Clean House?

Today, the Bears were embarassed for the second time in three weeks, as they lost to Arizona 41-21. Quick recap:
Can't tackle. Can't cover. Can't rush the passer. Top to bottom, horrible performance by the D.
Offense was OK, but still...
Benson gets last laugh as Cincy demolishes Chicago

Chicago Sports Blogs

There's not a whole lot to talk about with today's game. The Bears were completely outclassed in every phase of the game. Offense, Defense, Special Teams. The D-Line was abused, the Linebackers were running on their heels all day, and the secondary was flat...
Bears take care of Lions

The Bears beat the Lions 48-24 in a victory that wasn't quite as dominating as the score would indicate. Some quick notes, in outline fashion:
Special Teams were the stars of the day:
Johnny Knox returned a kick 102 yards for a TD (though he did almost pull a Desean...
Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics

I woke up early this morning to be inundated with stories of the President's speech in Copenhagen. This was on the behalf of Chicago's bid for 2016 Olympic Games. I have to go on record as one of the many people who are in favor of the Olympics in Chicago. It would be one of...
Bears Upset Steelers

The Bears beat the Steelers today 17-14 on a game-winning kick by Robbie Gould. I was checking out twitter after the game, and Steelers fans are taking it none too well. First off, everyone pretty much agrees that the Bears suck, and its pathetic to lose to them...
Bears Drop Opener against Packers

The 2009 Bears season started off with a spectacular display of ineptitude from our bright new quarterback, Jay Cutler.
This game had me scratching my head in the first half.
It was a pretty poor performance. And I know what you are all thinking. I'm being pessimistic. I'...
Bears Lose Opener; Somehow Still in Playoff Race
September 13, 2009 by
Chicago Sports Blogs

The Bears lost an ugly game to the Packers. Let's quickly summarize.
Cutler was awful in the first half. 3 picks, could have been 5. Grossman all over again. Jake DelCutler. I felt like throwing up.
Cutler looked like a new man in...
2009 Bears: Who should stay and who should go

The Backup Bears beat the Backup Browns tonight in the season finale. Jay Cutler played one series and didn't even attempt a pass. I so wish I had spent $75 on a ticket to THAT game!
Anyways, it's cutdown time for the Bears. Lets look at the closest races...
Jack's First Cubs Game

Ok, so the season is for all practical purposes over, and I've got the mother of all rants brewing. But I'm going to skip all that for now, and talk about my son's first Cubs game.
Talk about a breath of fresh air. Jack is a crazy Cubs fan, and he legitimately...
Bears Look Good in Second Tuneup
August 23, 2009 by

The Bears starters looked really good in beating the Giants 17-3 on Saturday night at Soldier Field. The Bears starters gave a pretty dominating performance, and that's really all you could ask for.
Jay Cutler looked very good in his three drives, all of which...
Bears Training Camp, 2009

Went to Bourbonnais today to take in my first few glimpses of Jay Cutler and the 2009 Bears. I gotta say, I was very impressed. Cutler's throws cut through the air unlike any Bears QB I've ever seen. SO impressive. He makes Orton and Grossman look...
Cubs Thoughts: Closing Time
August 05, 2009 by
Chicago Sports Blogs
| Comments
Ok, Kevin Gregg isn't very good. That 600-foot home run that Dan Uggla hit on Sunday, as part of back-to-back blown saves, is pretty much all the evidence you need. But you know what? I'm not worried about the Cubs at this point. I've pretty...
Cubs trade Hart and Ascanio to Pirates
July 30, 2009 by
Chicago Sports Blogs
| Comments
The Cubs traded Kevin Hart and Jose Ascanio today to the Pirates for John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny. I don't know about this trade. If you ask me, Hart has been awfully good for this team. Three wins in three starts since the break while Dempster/Lilly were on the shelf. ...
Buehrle Perfect!

Chicago Sports Blogs

I'm speechless. I'm utterly speechless. I had to rush tonight and put the kid down so I could watch Mark Buehrle throw a perfect game on the Comcast replay. This was the most amazing baseball game I have ever seen in my life. Yes, it was better than game 1 of the World Series...
All-Star Thoughts and some Cubs Grades

Well, the AL won again. Ho-hum. Unless you happened to be in St. Louis, these last two days of MLB events were pretty dull. To witness:
The HR Derby was a complete and utter bore. Three hours is about two hours too many, and unless a) you've actually...
Boozer to the Bulls?
July 09, 2009 by
Chicago Sports Blogs

ESPN is reporting that a Carlos Boozer to Chicago in a four-team deal is on the table. They aren't giving specifics of yet, but they are basically reporting Boozer to Chicago, Hinrich to Portland and Tyrus Thomas to Utah. I don't want to get too excited...
Gordon Gone

Chicago Sports Blogs

Ben Gordon is signing a five-year deal worth $55 million dollars to play for the hated Detroit Pistons. I'm a little saddened by this. Gordon's not a superstar, or even an All-Star. He can't play defense to save his life, and he's not much...
Abbreviated Cubs Rants

Lots going on with the Cubs these days. It seems every day inspires another rant. I could probably go on for 10 pages on each of these topics, but in the interest of time I'll try to be brief.
DeRosa Traded to St. Louis - Jim Hendry had a chance for...
A Little Mike & Mike on the Cubs

With apologies to the real Mike & Mike, my friend Mike and I engaged in a little email exchange on the Cubs the last few days that sum up the feelings of typical Cubs fans. It started Monday (after the Cubs swept the Indians) with an email from MikeB:
MB: Boy, I thought...
Random Cubs Notes and what I think of Sammy

Ok, it's been far too long and there's a lot on my mind. Man, do the 2009 Cubs suck. Yeah, they won today...yippee! But frankly, I'm more surprised that they scored 6 runs in a single game than I am that they beat the equally execrable...
You'd think I would have learned by now

Randy Wells pitched BRILLIANTLY tonight. No hitter through 6 2/3, supremely efficient in getting outs, and he left in the 8th leading 5-1. A Marmol/Gregg meltdown later, it's 5-5 going into extras. I swear, I called the Gregg Meltdown before he even came into...
Grossman Can't Find a Job
May 21, 2009 by

I probably shouldn't be writing this because, well, we have our Quarterback now. And as coach said, only cowards live in the past. But ultimately this post is more about our coaching staff than it is about Grossman, so here goes.
Rex Grossman can't find a job....
Cubs Staying Above Water

Well, this regular season ain't going exactly as expected, is it? I never thought they'd run away with it, of course, but its still a bit frustrating watching the team that won 97 games last year just tread water and look so...ordinary. Lets do a little Three up...

Not really what I want to be writing about but it's been a rough coupla days. This time last week the Sox were in first, now they're sitting in 4th. Ouch. It's only two and a half games out as I type this and they are playing first place KC--what?---so...
