2011 Chicago Bears Draft About Toughness

Here is the problem with the NFL Draft: it is televised.  Because it is televised (and for me one of the most singularly boring events in the history of the medium) fans have taken to rampaging against their organization’s lower round selections as means of flaming the torches and marching up the castle to kill...

Audibles From the Long Snapper: NFL Edition

So before we get to the Weekend of the Wild Card, I figured I’d weigh in on the happenings around the league over this past week. Leslie Frazier is a solid choice for the Minnesota Vikings but I wonder if they interviewed any non-minority candidates. The Raiders went undefeated in their division and finally looked...

Bears Should Rest Starters at Lambeau

Joe Webb and the Minnesota Vikings – in defense of every beagle, labrador and collie of this nation – thoroughly dominated the Philadelphia Eagles last night and handed the Chicago Bears a first round bye.  Shortly thereafter a collective groan was heard in and around the New York metropolitan area.  Giants fans, who never stopped recounting their fourth-quarter meltdown during...

Two Monday Night Tidbits

The Bears are preparing to protest the playing of Monday night’s game outdoors at TCF Bank Stadium because they believe the surface of the ground might actually be frozen.  (This seems to me, in the concussion age, a valid argument.)  The Vikings don’t want to play in Indianapolis because they believe it will become a...

Breaking Down the Minnesota Vikings

Here are my thoughts on the Minnesota Vikings, as currently constructed, as the Bears prepare to face them in the horribly cold conditions at the University of Minnesota.  I’m straying from the normal analysis and trying to look at this one a bit differently. I want Percy Harvin to start.  I have sung Dave Toub’s... Read more »

Audibles From the Long Snapper

Bears Will Play Vikings at University of Minnesota The Metrodome will not be repaired by Monday’s night ballgame and the Vikings/NFL announced late yesterday that the game will be moved outdoors to TCF Bank Stadium.  I can’t imagine a Vikings team with nothing to play for getting fired up for the projected 0 degree weather...

Monday Night May Decide Lovie's Fate

No one know where the Bears and Vikings are going to play their Monday Night Football contest.  The Metrodome roof is about a shaky as Frank Omiyale’s blindside protection and TCF Bank Stadium – the outdoor facility home to the University of Minnesota’s football team – needs to know by the end of Tuesday whether...

History Available For Cutler, Bears

When the Bears acquired Jay Cutler last off-season, it was one of the most exhilarating acquisitions in the history of the organization.  It filled the 2009 balloon with hyped-up air that we all watched deflate in a storm of turnovers, injuries and defensive meltdowns.  Still I defended Cutler, arguing that he is a special talent...
