Deadspin posted a selection from the book, Bigger Than The Game: Bo, Boz, the Punky QB, and How the 80′s Created the Modern Athlete by Michael Weinreb, and it tells all about how Jim McMahon’s days leading up to Super Bowl XX got turned upside down because some reporter told a dirty, dirty lie.

Remember when I said — so did Neil Hayes — that I kind of felt sorry for Jamar Williams: A talented linebacker seemingly stuck in a clusterfuck of other, promising linebackers? Well, Brad Biggs is reporting that the Bears could look to trade Williams, or other linebackers Nick Roach and Hunter Hillenmeyer, for more draft picks. (more…)

According to Mike Mulligan of the Sun-Times, “if Florida’s Major Wright is there, he’ll be the pick. If not, they hope to choose between Kansas’ Darrell Stuckey or Virginia Tech’s Kam Chancellor.” Well, shit. That takes all the fun out of it. (more…)

By now, you should already know Greg Olsen may or may not be on the trading block. What, exactly, he’d be worth is a hot source of debate. Some say a fifth-rounder, others say a canned ham. To figure this all out, the trade that sent tight end Tony Scheffler to Detroit today might be a good place to start. (more…)

Per the Twitter account of, one, Mark Sommise: “Inside source says The Buffalo Bills will host the Chicago Bears Nov 7th at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.” Bears headed to Canada, ey? (more…)

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, though, James has also been “romantically linked to Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.” And to that, we say, fuck professional athletes. (more…)

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

Hey! Who’s that lurking in the background? It’s Greg Olsen! Today, via his sporadically-used Twitter account,  Olsen came forth, in a big way, to squelch all the talk that he doesn’t fit in Mike Martz’ scheme, he is on the trade block, and Darius Rucker, in fact, won’t be performing for his charity event at Joe’s Bar on May 27.

Technically, Adewale Ogunelye is in limbo; not a member of the Bears, but nor has he been picked up by another team. That’s all the justification I need to explain why he dating rapper/singer Kelis is relevant. Oh, that and the fact that they might enjoy extra company. In the interest of fairness, Kelis has looked better. (more…)
