It reads like a horror script to us Bears fans, but the fact it’s not is more alarming: right now, the Bears should be 6-0.

If that isn’t enough, The Fifth Down, the New York Times’ NFL blog, breaks down this disappointment by number.

Four minutes and eight points is what separates the Bears from total domination and their current three-way tie in the suddenly mediocre NFC North.

While we’re at it, let me throw another number at you: 10 — the number of games in the short season in which essentially only Green Bay, Minnesota, and Chicago really matter. But don’t worry Detroit, you’ve still got Roy Williams your new starting quarterback doesn’t take safeties without a fight a fighting chance eh…Barry Sanders.

As the 2008 NFL season draws closer upon us, here’s a friendly reminder that Blog Down, Chicago Bears has the Bears fan covered.

When Kyle Orton’s wily beard defects from his face and attacks Tony Kornheiser, we’ll be there. And when one of Lance Briggs’ illegitimate children rams their power wheels into a neighbor’s mailbox and then leaves the scene of the transgression, we’ll be there.

But, alas, we’re no dummies either. We can bring the intelligent football talk. And we will. And we’ll do it in our own special way.

BEARS FANS EVERYWHERE: UNITE! You finally have a site to go to that says what’s on your mind and isn’t afraid to depart from the insipid and overly-analytical content of the average Bears blog. And sure, you might not always agree with what we write, but we promise you’ll have fun telling us why we’re wrong… Bear down, my friends!

Blog Down, Chicago Bears: Because 23 different quarterbacks in 15 years can’t be wrong.

Editor’s note: This is a post from July, but because it’s so damn funny and the news day is slow, we’ve decided to bump it up.

Linda Cohn, you’d best watch your back; there’s a new sheriff in town. Her name is Dana Ward and she’s the mildly attractive host of NFL Quick Hitters, a show on YouTube brought to you by the fine people at GamblersTelevision.com.

Today, we spotlight Ward’s take on the 2008 Chicago Bears. Besides being very roboerotic, Ward shows she’s environmentally conscious by recycling used material. You mean, the Bears don’t have a proven quarterback? What! Brian Yurlicker is unhappy with his contract? Girl, you is too much!
