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”.

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.

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.

Fellow former Bears, and enormous disappointments, Cade McNown and Curtis Enis are back at the forefront of ire for anyone who had to watch them play in the NFL.

Starting today, one can materialize their distaste for absolute horrid draft picks, and vote in the Worst Man Drafted Tournament hosted by NFLMocks.com.

Our new-found friends — and first-round losers to us in the Best Sports Blog Name tourney — Bear Goggles On, devised this incredible plan, allowing for these two losers — and 62 others — to once more, feel the painful sting of failure.

Sometimes, stories write themselves. This is one of those times.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter was arrested late last month for drunken driving and possession of marijuana. At the time, Carter was the starting quarterback for af2’s Rio Grande Valley Dorados, but due to strict eligibility rules (the NFL can learn a thing or two from the af2), he’s been reduced to a former Rio Grande Valley Dorados quarterback.

Now, the Dorados quarterback position battle is wide open and former Bears cast away Nick Hill is in the mix. But if he wants to be under center for the Dorados in 2009, he’ll have to beat out — get this — Tiger Lyon. Yes, it’s the dude’s real name.

As of yesterday, Lyon has the slight edge, but regardless of who prevails, his distain for his asshole parents will never die.
