The last post of the week; something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of the weekend.

This is the hideous thing members of the Green Bay Packers will put over their shoulder pads for select games next season. It’s apparently a throwback jersey from 1929, but all I see is a big circle for Julius Peppers to put his head through. (more…)

It’s official: Torry Holt has become the best friend in every romantic comedy, ever. Regardless of how often, and not-so-subtly, he professes his love for the Chicago Bears — and it’s been, both, often and not-so-subtle — the Bears just don’t react. We’re very close to the awkward, “I thought, maybe, someday you’d feel that for me!” speech. (more…)

In 1999, then-Saints head coach, Mike Ditka, and general manager, Bill Kuharich, did what we’ve all done: trade away an entire draft, and then some, for the draft rights to one player. Except, when we do it, it’s on Madden. Either way, 11 years later, Da Coach still isn’t wavering on his decision. (more…)

Before the NFL Draft, every prospect is a stud. Am I right, every fan of every team? So once a week, until the Draft, we will highlight one prospect we think could really be a stud in navy blue and burnt orange. This week: Charles Graves, FS, Delaware. (more…)

Schadenfreude, formerly Why Your Team Sucks, is a bi-weekly (hopefully) posting about the unfortunate moments and embarrassments of all NFL teams NOT named the Chicago Bears. As we already trudged through the waste of the NFC we are doing the AFC. Your comments, venom and hate-mail are encouraged and appreciated. (more…)

Here is what $8,750 worth of Perrier Jouet Fleur de Champagne looks like. Complete with sparklers. (more…)

One of the few, albeit major, knocks on Julius Peppers — a point amplified precluding the official start of free agency — was that he tended to take plays off. And one of the potential issues surrounding key members of Bears management is that they will, uh, cease to exist if 2010 goes badly. Fortunately for both, Julius Peppers’ contract takes care of all that. (more…)

It is believed that former Seahawks GM, Tim Ruskell, will inevitably be named the Bears’ new director of player personnel. To celebrate, we thought we’d uncover gems about this man from the Internet in a new feature we’re calling “Blurbs About Ruskell.” (more…)

Back in August 2008, we discovered a silly, error-ridden mess of a video, masquerading itself as a 2008 Chicago Bears season preview. Now, two years later, the tour guide through this assault on your football I.Q., Dana Ward, wants you to know it wasn’t her fault. We agree. (more…)

Julius Peppers wanted patrons of Chicago hotspot Crescendo on late Friday night to know he appreciated their hometown football team’s generosity. So much so that the Chicago Bears defensive end bought 25 bottles of Perrier Jouet Fleur de Champagne to be distributed to everyone in the club. At a cool $350 per bottle, that’s almost like a regular guy buying each of his four friends something off the McDonald’s dollar menu. (more…)

The last post of the week; something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of the weekend.

Ohhhhh. That was nice, was it not? Julius Peppers, Chester Taylor, and Brandon Manumaleuna are now all members of the Chicago Bears. I’m just 26 years old, but yesterday was easily the most, dare I say, satisfying offseason day I’ve ever lived through. (more…)

You just broke the Julius Peppers/Chester Taylor to Bears story (seriously, we did), what do you do? How about follow it up with news that contradicts all that we’ve been told in recent days: Greg Olsen is being traded. (more…)
