Seriously???? Is this happening yet again?!?! The Bears continue the tradition of partnering with sponsors local businesses. They have decided to plaster North Shore Hospital all over their practice jerseys. Does this burn anyone else like it does with me? I know I know, it’s an archaic viewpoint but hear me out. (more…)

Leonard Peters spent last year on the Bears practice squad, but for whatever reason–I’ll go out on a limb, and guess coverage issues–it didn’t pan out. So, now Peters is doing the next best thing: He’s taking his high-flying Hawaiian act to the much more brutal sport of Rugby as part of the U.S. men’s national team. Apparently, coverage isn’t as much of an issue when you’re constantly immersed in a roaming group hug.

….or they should. Call me crazy but as recently as a few years back it seemed like every fourth player on the Bears roster was from Oklahoma (Tommie Harris, Marc Bradley, Dusty Dvoracek, J.D. Runnels and now Juaquin Iglesias). Along with those Sooners, the Bears have tapped into perennial SEC doormat Vanderbilt in the past two drafts (Earl Bennett, Chris Williams, D.J. Moore). We’re not including Cutler here because Denver had the privilege of drafting him.
Looking at what the Bears needs will be starting this year, and looking into the very near future, starting a draft pipeline via Texas makes the most sense to me. (more…)
