How I Might Approach this Chicago Bears Offseason
As things are beginning to shake out around the NFL and teams are the free agency period is approaching with rapidity, it is time for me to start guessing.

Which Bears Are Untouchable?

Which Bears Are Untouchable?
We’ve spent enough time documenting the complicated off-season currently facing new Bears GM Phil Emery. Emery has to do the following before the start of the 2012 season: Find those few players (WR, OL, DE) to elevate the Bears, 7-3 with a healthy QB, to a legitimate Super Bowl contender. (Although I’m not sure they... Read more »

Bears Hire Jeremy Bates to Coach the Quarterback

Bears Hire Jeremy Bates to Coach the Quarterback
The Bears exhausted as many options as they could in and around the NFL but ended up “settling” for the right man to coach their quarterback and coordinate their passing game: Jeremy Bates. For those that will point to Bates’ tenure as offensive coordinator in Seattle as a negative I say the following: who cares... Read more »

Rosenbloom Sucks: Leaving All the Chicago Sports Columnists Behind in 2012
I was sitting on a bench in front of a coffee shop in the beautiful beach town of Spring Lake, New Jersey, waiting for the NJ Transit Coast Line train back to Manhattan last summer. A slick-haired douche pulled up in some way-too-big car and, after getting his coffee inside, started chatting me up as... Read more »
