The Bears are setting aside about 100 parking spaces outside Soldier Field specifically for family-friendly tailgating, or what I like to call “utter ridiculousness.” Do you know why everybody gets shitfaced while tailgating? Because it costs a staggering $460 for a 10-game parking pass, that’s why. But, I do hope you’ll enjoy your $11.50-per-person fee for eating grilled sandwiches and drinking RC Cola.

Um…okay, let’s see: Greg Olsen went on to Twitter a couple of days ago to clear up some misinformation about his role in Mike Martz’ new offense. He took questions from fans. He, then, took particular exception when one Bears fan went off the friendly path. Olsen called him a clown. Olsen’s brother, in an amusing exchange of Twitter words, didn’t stop there. And, this all really happened. (more…)

From Valentine’s Day two years ago, Devin Hester and Alex Brown smooch their respective women under the watchful eye of attendees at a Chicago Bulls game. Shockingly, the two famous pro athletes had the least awkward Kiss Cam kisses of the day. (more…)

Julius Peppers is still making it clear why he chose the Chicago Bears when he could have gone pretty much anywhere he wanted to. We know about the money, the scheme, and his liking of Rod Marinelli. Now, from an interview with the Chicago Tribune‘s Vaughn McClure, we know about his basic desire to just be left the fuck alone. (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 the final piece of a feature we’re calling “Blurbs About Ruskell.” (more…)

“The Grabowski Shuffle” was supposed to be “The Super Bowl Shuffle” of the working class. Unfortunately, one small detail went overlooked: Some people have the charisma of Earl Bennett. (more…)

“Now that this season has drawn to a close, the entire Chicago Bears organization – ownership, players, coaches, management and staff — extend our sincerest gratitude to our fans.” And so starts the groveling … (more…)

Yes, it has come to this. But are you really all that surprised? Tired of great expectations unfulfilled and three straight years of the same ‘ol same ‘ol, four die-hard Bears fans have gone to the Internets in hopes of securing enough funds from equally disillusioned fans to purchase ad space in either the Tribune or Sun-Times telling everyone change must be had!

The Bears-Packers rivalry goes back 40 million years, well before Ditka rose from the dead — it’s true — and will resume this Sunday at Soldier Field. With all the time that has passed, so too undoubtedly, have many memories; some great and others not so great. What better a time than now to share your favorite or most memorable moments in the longstanding Bears-FudgePackers rivalry? But first, here’s one of mine: (more…)

Sometimes, you watch the Chicago Bears be horribly mediocre against a one-win team from places not called Soldier Field. This was not one of those times.

Ah, yes, Soldier Field: Home of the Chicago Bears, team of destiny Monsters of the Midway a team in the NFL. Not ever having been to Soldier Field before, I wasn’t quite sure what my seating situation would look like; but I was pleasantly relieved to not only be within short distance of the bathroom and concessions, but the idiot wearing the Rex Grossman jersey, as well. That was me, actually. (more…)

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

We cordially invite thee, Chicago Bears fans everywhere — even sucky states like Oklahoma! — to our humble Web presence, also referred to around these Internets as “Blog Down, Chicago Bears”.

We’ve been around for a little while now, and we’re begging asking everyone who passes through here everyday to read us to start to comment also. Ideally, together we can build a community that is so much more Chris Harris-er, and so much less Adam Archuleta-er than your ordinary Bears message board or fan site.

And look! We even wrote a Commenter’s Guide for you. (more…)

When your prized new quarterback is quite horrible in the red zone (8 INT in last 14 games), I suppose anything other than “he just plain sucks” is a welcomed possibility why. Let’s just hope they heal him before he vomits pea soup all over the linens.
