Is it too early to panic yet? (I feel like ESPN when their beloved Yankees/Lakers/Cowboys/Giants/Jets lose the first game of the season.) I am starting to wonder if other fans are ready to hit the big red button. Apparently, I’m not alone (sort of). (more…)

ZOMG!!!! The day I have been waiting for!! Is the third time really a charm?!?!!? I sure as hell hope so. That nasty ol’ #4 is hanging them up again. Sweet Lord, that is music to my ears! What does this do to the balance of power in the NFC North? Who knows? Why don’t you figure it out? (more…)

Hey there, Pickle Kissers. I ain’t dead! Nope, just married and living in a new locale. I know you were waiting with baited breath for my return (*coughs). (more…)

Recently Brett Favre’s jilted ex-lover Peter King had a conversation with Mike Martz about how things are progressing with the Bears new offensive scheme. According to King, Martz seems to be a little too positive about Cutler and the Bears progress with his offense. (more…)

Schadenfreude, formerly Why Your Team Sucks, is a bi-weekly (hopefully) posting about the unfortunate moments and embarrassments of all NFL teams NOT named the Chicago Bears. As we already trudged through the waste of the NFC we are doing the AFC. Your comments, venom and hate-mail are encouraged and appreciated. (more…)

Since Jerry Angelo seems content with Al Afalava and Josh Bullocks at safety, who’s to say that he won’t jump at the chance to add more inexperience at the position in the Draft? This year’s safety class is relatively deep so the Bears, even with few picks, could have the chance to add the kind of talent that is just slightly better than Mr. Bullocks. (more…)

After attending the first few days of voluntary OTA’s, Dez Clark was a no-show today. Probably because he was doing game shows and playing XBox with Greg Olsen. Or, more likely, it’s the fact that Clark is going to be fourth on the depth chart behind Olsen, Kellen Davis and, the Samoan behemoth, Brandon Manumaleuna. (more…)

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

When our senior writer, Matt Phillip — shown here, having his back summarily broken — decided to continue a series we began last year; a series declaring, one-by-one, every team not the Bears to be complete shit, I was all for it. At the same time, I knew there would be fans of said other teams who would not understand why this was humorous. (more…)

That’s right. After a long break in between posts, because there is no NFL news outside of the Saints’ Super Bowl party still going on in New Orleans. we’re going to start up something that we wrote about during the season: Why teams other than the Chicago Bears blow total ass. Only this time, we’re ragging on that sad bastard child of a conference, the AFC.

So stay tuned over the next month or so to feel better about yourself for not pulling for one of these teams, or being a fan of a CLEARLY superior NFC team (except the Lions………you play NAIA ball). Stay tuned for the poorly crafted jokes and misdirected insults. With any luck this ‘series’ will get you within a few weeks of the 2010 NFL Draft. The one the Bears won’t be attending.

As if this was a surprise: the Bears are having a bit of trouble getting candidates for the OC position. Let’s be honest here: you are asking someone to come coach a team that has a decrepit offensive line, thus no pass protection or running game, a bunch of third-tier receivers (AS OF NOW…yes, we will give it time like we have for the last four years; Hester is this close to being a legit #1!) and ownership that seems about as willing to change as Harry Reid is to resigning from his current office. BUT WE’VE GOT JAY CUTLER!!!!!!!!!! (more…)

Via the Worldwide Leader, the Bears are going to talk with USC offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates as correctly pointed out a few days ago by one of our astute commenters. Normally, I would love this idea, sort of. USC has consistently put out above average-to-killer offenses over the last ten years. However, you only need to look at Norm Chow’s lukewarm history in the NFL to know that success is tough to come by (DUH!). (more…)
