Blog launch: Fire Lovie Smith
Three straight seasons missing the playoffs. Why does this man still have a job?
Mike, who you may already know from Bears Game Day, today debuts Fire Lovie Smith, which will focus its posts on Chicago's burgeoning fine arts scene.
It also will advocate for the quick, unequivocal ousting of current Bears head coach Lovie Smith.
Mike's work on Bears Game Day, and his other blog at Bear Goggles On, has always been passionate but fair. He's perfect to take on what is a volatile subject among Bears fans.
So enjoy Fire Lovie Smith. If the blog comes to a quick end, we know you'll enjoy the outcome.

Tiger Woods and his mistresses: a Lifetime movie
Tiger Woods' personal life started looking like a three ring circus early last week. But with the emergence of at least four more women over the weekend, he's reached Lifetime movie caliber. We've put together the all- star cast below:
Most infamous adulterous athletes
Everybody cheats, right? Well in sports it may seem that way. Big paychecks plus a traveling circus-like schedule, lead many professional athletes astray. Wilt Chamberlian was believed to have a different woman in each city he visited. In the wake of the Tiger Woods allegations, we decided to revisit some of our favorite philanderers.

Blackhawks not among top NHL teams (or so cbssports.com says)
Somehow, CBSSports.com created a poll asking which team was the best in the NHL and left off the Blackhawks. The same Blackhawks team that is tied for the 2nd-most points in the league and just dismantled the team with the most points on their home ice.
If you don't believe me, see the screen grab below. Don't know when it went up but it was there on Thanksgiving day. Not only did they forget the Hawks, but they included three Eastern Conference teams whose point total ranks them 4th, 6th and 8th, respectively. Looks like ESPN has a rival for network with the worst East Coast bias.

Sammy Sosa's Face Through The Years
A photo of Sammy Sosa's face, taken recently in Las Vegas, led to rampant speculation as to why he appears so bleached-out.
A friend of Sosa's told the Tribune he's "going through a rejuvenation process" for his skin.
In any event, by way of comparison here's a gallery of Sosa's face over the years starting from 1990.

David Kaplan wrote a piece today on "Kap's Corner" saying Lovie has to go, he's out of touch with reality, and that the new coach should be Bill Cowher.
But of course, not everyone agrees. On "The Rock Report," Rock Mamola says Lovie should stay and points out the Bears were 3-1 not that long ago and change just for change's sake is not always a good thing.
So what do you think? Visit Kap and Rock's blogs and let 'em know how you feel.
Ashton Kutcher: Bears fan, ChicagoNow man

Everyone on Twitter knows that Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) was an early adopter and his nearly 4 million followers are the most of any Twitter user.
So we thought it was pretty cool he sent out a tweet saying he loved a ChicagoNow post written on Jay Cutler Superstar by Matt LoCascio.
The post he tweeted about is the second in a series of "If the Bears were Simpsons characters" posts Matt has done in the last two weeks.
If you've read Matt's blog you already know it's creative, funny and a must-read for any Bears fan who isn't just interested in the X's and the O's but also wants to know about the "D'oh's!".
Bears win doesn't impress anybody

That about sums it up. This was probably the least enjoyable blowout in Bears history.
Brad Palmer called the Bears win mediocre and said the win was nothing to write home about.
David Kaplan had the most praise while Bruce Wolf had perhaps the least, writing "You don't have to have the wisdom of Solomon Wilcots, the CBS analyst today, to know that this is a moral defeat for the Bears."
