Gabe Reid was awarded $325,000 in workers’ compensation from the Bears for an injury suffered at the end of his four-year, bench-riding career. Mike Brown, Pro-Bowl safety, only received $140,000 after he was injured. Apparently, to be awarded more money, you just have to sit at home eating bon-bons. (more…)

And this is where you finish the sentence. I’m well aware of the extreme “mootness” of the point, but it literally took me this long just to be ready for the healthy, inevitable “what went wrong” retrospection, so I’ll keep it short. You see, for the last two weeks, I’ve been futilely searching the Interwebs for the Bears first-week playoff match up. (more…)

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

Devin Hester is likely out for Sunday’s Packers game, meaning we’ll all finally get to see some of Devin Aromashodu. I’d even go as far as to say that we might see Juaquin Iglesias, too, but everybody knows — third-round picks don’t play until year two! (more…)

The NFL can be a really dangerous sport, so of course, I purposely sabotaged any chance that I’d ever belong in it years ago. And the danger component of it is heightened if you’re unable to see over your opponent, like Garrett Wolfe, who for the second year in a row is out for the season before it’s finished.

But please, try not to worry about the run game. Just have a good weekend.

Clearly, the most rewarding part of penning a post entitled “The Rise And Fall Of Nate Vasher” would be seeing resiliency rewarded. And with that: just when you thought it was safe to write off Vasher for good … yes! yes! … well, he doesn’t suck as a free safety. No, no, that’s a really good thing! (more…)

Remember all those highly-gifted football players that, at one time or another, were on a Bears roster, only to be plagued with stupid reoccurring injuries and never be heard from again? Well, it turns out that not only are most alive and well, but some are actually living up to expectations! … Elsewhere.
