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…)
New offensive coordinator Mike Martz’ offense has no need for dynamic, pass-catching tight ends. See production of Ernie Conwell, Daniel Campbell, Sean McHugh and Vernon Davis under his tenures. Greg Olsen is pretty much a dynamic, pass-catching tight end. Uh-oh. (more…)
OK, is this really happening?? Does this have any traction at all besides the ESPN rumor mill? (ZOMG!) I’m not surprised in the least that T.O. wants out of Buffalo, nor should you. I was/am very surprised about the Bears being in the mix. Given the very recent history of the Bears acquiring big-name talent (Cutler, Pace) it’s not totally shocking, but I definitely wasn’t expecting to see that yesterday. More than my surprise at the rumors that are swirling around, I don’t like the trade possibility. The Bears are humming along at 3-1 and have some decent momentum going into two very tough road games. The offense is slowly starting to click and the thought of bringing in a big name player mid-season isn’t something I’d like to see. (more…)
Thirty-nine percent of you do not like to go out on a limb; Of the 152 total votes cast, 60 intrepid people agree that Devin Hester will have the most receiving yards for the Bears at seasons end. Not surprisingly, Greg Olsen had 28% of the support and three people chose to write-in names of receivers not on the team.
Greg Olsen is an American football player. He is also Jay Cutler’s new BFF and proud proprietor of his very own blog. Here is a leaden summary of his latest post:
Greg Olsen is a two-sport athlete, as evidenced by his most recent excursion into the less high-profiled world of Whirly Ball.
“You cruise around in these bumper cars trying to throw a ball with a jai alai basket through a hole while the other team tries to stop you. Cutler’s pretty good at it. So is Caleb Hanie. It’s about the most fun you can have.”
Without taking off your clothes, of course. (more…)

Greg Olsen, although newly married, still likes to go out on the town every once in a while. What, I could have swore marriage ends all that. Olsen was kind enough to let us in on the places he likes to frequent the most. Stalkers, pay attention… (more…)
Have you ever wondered what being Greg Olsen would…well, be like? Me, neither. But, now — thanks to his official new blog — you can find out. And, you won’t even be spit out near the New Jersey turnpike afterward.
So far, the aptly titled and three-week old, Greg Olsen Official Site, consists of only three posts, but the value of the anecdotes contained within can’t be overlooked. An excerpt, if you will: (more…)
Through two games, the Bears have committed a low two turnovers — both by tight end Greg Olsen.
It’s clear the man loves the fumbleruski. He’s all about it. He wants to romance it and take it to the back seat of his 1978 TransAm. Yeah, that’s right. And he won’t stop until the early dawn.
Fumbleruski, you don’t have a chance. Once you’ve had Olsen, you can never go back. He’ll make you feel like you’re the only one in the room stadium and isn’t afraid to say “I love you” when other people are watching — whether it be from home or in the flesh. (more…)
Fullback Jason McKie took a page from the Cedric Benson Method of Football and found out how hard it is to gain a yard in the NFL yesterday.
On fourth-and-1 from midfield with two minutes left and the Bears down by three, the Panthers defense stuffed McKie for no gain to cement the come-from-behind victory.
The Bears were up 17-3 at one point in the third quarter, but a pair of costly fumbles by tight end Greg Olsen and a diminishing run defense allowed the Panthers to practically steal a win despite being thoroughly dominated for most of the game. (more…)
