Jeremy Lin, A Victim of Too Much Media Coverage

Jeremy Lin, A Victim of Too Much Media Coverage
Indulging in the Friday night fun that Chicago’s River North neighborhood has to offer, I found myself among several 20-something-year-olds glued to a flat screen TV at The Kerryman while Sportcenter ran highlights from the Knicks-Hornets game.

Wish List of a Jealous Bears Fan: Conference Championship Sunday Edition
Bears fans, I imagine you got a lot out of the Packers losing to the Giants Sunday Night I’m sure, but realistically that was just empty satisfaction. Nothing erases the fact they swept the division, won 15 games, and were at least in a position to contend for the Super Bowl while Brian Urlacher, Jay... Read more »

Bears Defense Will Always Provide A Chance To Win

Bears Defense Will Always Provide A Chance To Win
Hard to believe? Since Jay Cutler went down with a thumb injury almost three weeks ago, the only thing the Chicago Bears offense has been consistent of is “3-and-out” series.  Caleb Hanie followed up his first start as Bears Quarterback with a rating of 23.8 thanks to another 3 interceptions and 45% completion rate.
