Super Bowl Game Prediction & Fantasy Playoffs Finale

Super Bowl Game Prediction & Fantasy Playoffs Finale
GAME PREDICTION I’ve noticed a great many of our readers on the blog have no interest in this Super Bowl and that seems odd to me. We’d all prefer the Bears be in every Super Bowl but they’re not. Still, the Packers are not in this Super Bowl either – even after a 15-1 season... Read more »

New Bears General Manager: Phil Emery

New Bears General Manager: Phil Emery
The Bears have reached an agreement to name Phil Emery their new GM. The choice, I believe, is a significant decision.
