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…)

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

BREAKING: The Lions have made good on their efforts to reach a deal with someone, anyone, before the draft. It’s Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford for six years, $78 million. Ouch.

I assure you, the Lions will regret that.

The most captivating story tomorrow is Mark Sanchez. Which team makes the big trade up, if any, to nab the USC quarterback? I’m calling the Jets. For whatever reason, I see “Sanchez” emblazoned on the back of a Jets jersey. And still, I hear Jets fans booing.

Remember, the Bears pick 49th overall which shouldn’t be until late, late tomorrow night, but we’ll be LiveTwittering the whole shebang. That’s right. In case you forgot, we’re LIVE. TWITTERING.

The girls of The Lingerie Football League’s Chicago Bliss want you to participate in Blog Down’s NFL Draft LiveTwitter this Saturday. Funny enough, they told me this four months from now while we we’re standing in the unemployment line.

In the spirit of the phenomenon that is live-blogging, and in taking advantage of it’s current, and likely fleeting popularity, Blog Down, Chicago Bears will be live-blogging the first day of the 2009 NFL Draft — well, actually, twittering.

We’re inviting all Bears fans, Bears bloggers, NFL Draft enthusiasts, and people with an abundant amount of time on their hands — in that order — to follow along and put their two cents in via our Twitter page: http://twitter.com/blogdown. Because, let’s face it: there’s a lot of damn time to waste between picks, and watching Todd McShay and Mel Kiper bicker loses most, if not all, of its entertainment value around pick four.

The live-twitter will begin Saturday, April 25th at 1:30 pm CST, or about an hour and a half before the draft begins.
