Gabe Reid was awarded $325,000 in workers’ compensation from the Bears for an injury suffered at the end of his four-year, bench-riding career. Mike Brown, Pro-Bowl safety, only received $140,000 after he was injured. Apparently, to be awarded more money, you just have to sit at home eating bon-bons. (more…)
The last post of the week: Really, no longer just something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of the weekend, but, instead, bar conversation, only not in a bar. Let these discussions hold you over until we resurface on Monday.
Since Jim McMahon, men who have played quarterback while simultaneously donning a Chicago Bears uniform have (mostly) sucked. You can outright fault the organization or pacifyingly fault the organization, but no matter what, nothing can save these 27 poor souls from an unenvious shared history; having been through, what many believe to be, “quarterback hell”. (more…)

It’s good to see that the NFL still gets the same old Rex.
Epic LOL.
Hey, ladies and gentleman! Guess which former collar bone-deficient Detroit Lion’s name is resurfacing? If you said Charles Rogers, take yourself a Vicodin and pat yourself on the back… just not too hard. Collarbone, remember? (more…)
Well not really, but it would appear that they should just start holding tryouts in the Chicago area. I mean I ‘played’ safety freshman year of high school, why not give me a shot? With the ‘talent’ we are currently throwing out there we might as well start handing out tryout flyers. (more…)
Hey all, I’ll be taking over for Shea for a few days while he ends his life by having his girlfriend move in with him, goes to sunny CA to visit his home boys and girls.
The offseason is brutal enough for us Bears fans. We have to suffer through the “Wait ‘til next year” refrain from Cubs fans, and the perpetual ineptitude of the Bulls. (Yes the Blackhawks were good this year but now that their season is done, I’m sure that 0.5% of the city cares) As if that wasn’t enough, for the past three off-seasons we’ve had to deal with the fucking Brett Favre saga. (more…)
Nearly three months have passed since the Bears and Rex Grossman parted ways, yet Rex remains unemployed.
It’s unclear if teams are hesitant to hire the oft-maligned veteran because of the sheer velocity of his deep bombs, his unwavering commitment to hitting the man in the flat, or his penchant for DOING VERY, VERY, STUPID THINGS. (more…)
Tired of foolishly taking fliers on prospects with injury histories only to see them materialize into NFL pros with injury histories, the Bears have committed to not doing that anymore.
The Bears are going to look closer at their medical evaluations of players when there’s a question mark. This decision comes in light of the firestorm created last summer when first-round pick Chris Williams went down with a herniated disc in his back on the second day of training camp — the same disc the Bears knew had a ”stabile herniation.”
Um… duh?
When watching the NFL Draft this weekend, it’ll be important to brush up on your draft lingo so as to avoid potentially awkward stalls in conversation between you and your buddies, and completely understand what the hell Todd McShay is saying.
Mac Engel of the Star-Telegram was kind enough to lay out the different terms typically used when evaluating prospects, and even linked one NFL player to each said term. A few proved to be more interesting than others.
