Jerry Angelo Speaks Out On NFL Strike Possibility, Gets Told Off

by Shea Johnson on Saturday 26 June 2010 at 10:15 pm

Bears GM Jerry Angelo recently expressed some concern over new NFLPA executive director De Smith’s ability to “recognize a good deal when it’s on the table.” As you may have guessed, that sentiment wasn’t met well by the union. (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…)

Perspective: Hey, It Could Be Worse

by Matt Phillip on Tuesday 26 January 2010 at 11:00 am

Yes, we’ve got a coach who seems to care as much about his team’s success as I care about personal hygiene; we’ve got ownership who seems stuck in the pre-Super Bowl NFL; and no matter how much we beg and plead, we can’t convince other coaches to come and work for us. But, even with those things working against us, the Bears still aren’t one of the bottom-feeding franchises in the league…yet. So, until we are, let’s take a look at those teams, point out their flaws, and start feeling better about ourselves! (more…)

Jim McMahon Just Wants To Tell It Like It Is

by Shea Johnson on Thursday 7 January 2010 at 7:15 pm

“I told you guys 30 years ago (sic) what an idiot that owner [Michael McCaskey] is, and maybe you guys have finally realized it.” … Soooo you’re saying we might be the new Raiders? But I thought the Raiders were the new Raiders. (more…)

Brian Urlacher’s Live Game Commentary Isn’t Everybody’s Favorite

by Shea Johnson on Wednesday 2 December 2009 at 8:00 pm

So, Brian Urlacher said some things on Monday. Clearly, it was all said out of frustration. Naturally, everyone was appalled. Apparently, Warren Sapp thinks Urlacher should shut up. Obviously, David Haugh believes that it’s no way for a team captain to act. And … wait, what the hell did he even say, again? (more…)

Vernon Davis Talks Smack, Disappears Accordingly

by Shea Johnson on Friday 13 November 2009 at 11:30 am

For all the aplomb Vernon Davis exuded this week in his team’s chances against the Bears, you would have expected him to go off yesterday. And he did. As in became noticeably absent. Davis’ stat line in the 49er’s 10-6 victory: three catches, 16 yards. To be fair, Davis next pledged that “we are going to flip the recession.” Oh, I see how he uses the word “we” now.

Vernon Davis Opens Doors For Trash-Talking Underachievers Everywhere

by Shea Johnson on Tuesday 10 November 2009 at 9:15 pm

You have yourself one good half-season and it’s suddenly alright to talk shit? Niners tight end, Vernon Davis, is pretty confident that San Francisco “can destroy [the Bears] front [four]” on Thursday, among other things. Well, except for Adewale Ogunleye. He likes him, but only him. Somewhere, Alex Brown is chafed.

Cedric Benson Wishes To Know Why You Hate Him So

by Shea Johnson on Thursday 22 October 2009 at 7:30 pm

It isn’t so much his role in the underachieving three-year stint he spent in Chicago that Cedric Benson chooses to focus on. Nope, instead it’s what everyone else did to purposely ruin his life. You know, like take Thomas Jones’ side on everything! Now, with the third-most rushing yards in the NFL, Benson finally feels okay to admit that the Bears weren’t necessarily the ideal work reference. (more…)

TJ “Who’s Your Momma” Wanted To Play For The Bears

by Matt Phillip on Friday 25 September 2009 at 10:45 am

TJ Houshmandzadeh is a bit bitter over not being sought after by the Bears this offseason, so he totally pwned the Bears yesterday by talking ‘smack’ to the Bears secondary. The Chicago Tribune article states that Houshmanzadeh claims that Bears management “ain’t holler” at him at all during the offseason because they thought he couldn’t play (An aside: ‘ain’t holler’???? The hell does that mean?). Actually, TJ, the real reason they didn’t call you was because of that glorified rat-tail you sport on the back of your head. (more…)

Brian Urlacher Was Once Awfully Close To Being The Late Brian Urlacher

by Shea Johnson on Wednesday 12 August 2009 at 5:00 pm

If you’re going to step on Brian Urlacher’s shoe, be prepared to be promptly asked to take it outside. However, if you’re surprisingly cordial about the whole thing… and a very talented MMA fighter, be prepared to be unremittingly forgiven. Our friend Zoner Sports has video of Bas Rutten recalling the 2006 incident that almost cost us are middle linebacker.

Denver Fans Supposedly Lack Passion For Their Broncos

by Matt Phillip on Monday 10 August 2009 at 12:30 pm

Don’t look now, but Mr. Cutler just totally pwned Bronco fans last week and took backhanded swipes at their devotion to their team. During a radio interview last week Cutler described Denver fans as a “6″ and Bears fans as a “9″ (69 dudes!!!) when talking about the voracity of the different fanbases.

I have to disagree with Cutler on this one. I mean, when your fans lustily boo the guy traded to your team and thrown in to replace Jay–through no fault of his own–that shows something right? “Hey Orton, you suck and I hate you for being traded here after our new coach destroyed anything left of a competitive NFL team. DIE!” (more…)
