It is believed that former Seahawks GM, Tim Ruskell, will inevitably be named the Bears’ new director of player personnel. To celebrate, we thought we’d uncover gems about this man from the Internet in the final piece of a feature we’re calling “Blurbs About Ruskell.” (more…)

Jay Cutler was supposed to be the Chicago Bears’ answer to the long-running quarterback deficiencies that, for so many years, presumably hindered the franchise from winning for any real extended period of time. He was their Messiah, the all-time missing link to a Super Bowl-shuffle sequel. But, now that the Bears have their franchise quarterback, they find themselves in the very unfortunate position of mediocrity. Well, at least, they’ve proven it wasn’t just the quarterback. (more…)
Sean Sullivan was merely once just a frequent commenter before joining Blog Down. See people, dreams do come true.
Truth be told, without a few timely missed field goals by the Steelers and Seahawks, the Bears are probably 1-5. After that Bengals game, it wasn’t really that hard to envision them as a 1-5 team. The Bears may turn this season around and make the playoffs, but at this point the team just doesn’t look very good and I blame Jerry Angelo. (more…)
Whhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttt??????????
More on this later in the day? Not surprised this is happening, more surprised that the Bears are mentioned.
The world is coming to an end. No, not really, but the decision to once again cut Brandon Rideau goes to show what we already knew: the Bears don’t know anything about wide receivers. (more…)
Obviously, the plethora of existing injured Chicago Bears cornerbacks may not be the fault of the Chicago Bears (debatable: Zack Bowman). Luckily, they can control what players they add to the M.A.S.H. unit secondary, so inquiring about a 32-year old with major injury concerns like Chris McAlister is probably counterproductive to the cause.
The last post of the week: something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of this weekend.
Yeah, you read that right. According to these guys, our Bears have supplanted the ‘Boys as the NFL’s newest soap opera. Based on………Bobby ‘mexi-stache’ Wade’s claim that Urlacher told Lovie Smith who told Angelina who told Adrian Peterson who told Wade that Cutler was something similar to a cat?? A stretch? Why yes, I do think so!
Is the off-season that slow that this is the top story around the league?? I’m sure there are more compelling stories like the start of training camps, or the death of former Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, or T.O.’s new ‘reality’ show. I’m guessing this story goes away once Urlacher makes Roethlisberger eat grass come Week 2 and Cutler throws for 3 TD’s (pipe dream). (more…)
The Oakland Raiders’ draft has easily been the most controversial and criticized through two rounds, topped by the second-round selection of a safety not expected to be drafted until late tomorrow. Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Wait until you hear that the Bears were primed to take him two picks later.
By all appearances, it was an NFL Draft day that ended with a thud for the Chicago Bears. Their only pick, the 49th overall, was traded to Seattle for a third and fourth rounder tomorrow. But, an innocent-enough tweet sent over by Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times changed everything:
Angelo said the bears talked to cards about boldin but could not a deal done.
So you’re saying there’s a chance?
Once it became clear that their second-round pick would not entice the Cards to trade, the Bears tried to move up, motivated by their interest in Ohio State wide receiver Brian Robiskie, among others.
Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, apparently Plaxico Burress isn’t in the Bears plans, and thus, won’t be wearing blue and orange anytime soon. Well, maybe orange.
Jerry Angelo addressed the Plax-to-Bears possibility Tuesday:
“Because of the uncertainty of the future, how could you really say for sure if you went after him that that is going to manifest itself in the ‘09 season?” Angelo said of Burress’ potential jail time. “I can’t say that. Nobody else can. I can’t really answer right now in terms of how we view him, but I am not looking at him as an option.”
Is it me, or after seven years, is J.A. finally starting to make sense?
