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 a new feature we’re calling “Blurbs About Ruskell.” (more…)

Basically, any coach that was considered to be qualified — minus Tice — for any of the vacant Bears coaching positions, has been turned away. The Bears weren’t “blown away” by Chargers tight end coach Rod Chudzinski and now Marvin Lewis isn’t allowing quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese to be considered at OC any longer because, in his words, that opportunity has “kind of closed up, and I don’t think Lovie (Smith) has made a decision on what he wants to do yet.” (more…)
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…)
What a game.
Everyone knows what my thought process was going into the game. I wanted the Bears to win oh so badly, but I also attempted to keep myself rooted in reality. My friend, on the other hand, was pulling (and rather staunchly) for the upset win. I attempted to bring him back to Earth, but it didn’t work. I loved the seats we had (sec. 430, 14 rows up). Looking at the stadium map, they look awful. But, as you can see from the view, it offered a great vantage point to watch the plays develop.
It’s really too bad that the Bears were able to finally land in Baltimore. BTW – 125 work-release inmates helped 700 other workers clear the snow from M&T Bank Stadium. Nothing says Christmas drunk like orange jumpsuits.
Moving along…
Well, that will take a little suspense out of the upcoming offseason. CSN’s John Mullin was just on Chicago Tribune Live and it appears, according to his “pretty high-up sources”, Lovie Smith will indeed be coming back to coach the Bears next year. Sigh. Surely, more to come … (more…)
I bet most of us felt like this fella after the Packers game.
I was a Lovie supporter after past seasons. I legitimately thought he was the right man for the job and Jerry Angelo was the problem. Now, both can go hop in a car to find a cliff as far as I’m concerned. (more…)
No, seriously: I should move and start a new career as a bookie, at least as far as the Bears are concerned. I have been, some would argue, unfortunately accurate in my predictions and statements about this years Bears team. I don’t even do this full-time! I can predict Cutler interceptions, foresee the Bears getting torched by Kurt Warner & Co. and now (as if it was a surprise) correctly identify the most glaring weakness of the 2009 Chicago Bears….

And let the Brett Favre love affair continue. Walking–albeit, a little slower than he used to–into the place that he built, Favre threw four touchdowns in a Vikings 38-26 win over Green Bay. Thus, the Vikes improve to 7-1 and, more importantly, are one step closer to an insurmountable lead in the division.
Last Sunday, the Bears defense struggled once Atlanta went into a no-huddle offense with some players admitting to not getting the calls in on time. Sigh. If only Nick Roach could talk more clearly and less like Lovie Smith. (more…)
