50th Article, 50 Reasons Why NOT To Watch the Chicago Bears

1. They suck! 2. They have two of the fastest wide receivers in the NFL, but never throw the ball deep. 3. Ron Turner still has a job despite No. 2. 4. They're 4-5 after playing teams that are a combined 38-42...

Taj Gibson Is Nice Edition To Chicago Bulls' Starting Lineup

The Chicago Bulls are struggling. There is no doubt about that. I do not believe it has anything to do with Tyrus Thomas being out. I really don't think he makes the Bulls that much better...

Let's Call a Spade a Spade: The Chicago Bears Stink

I tried posting this article right after the first half of Sunday's game, but for some reason it didn't post. It made a lot of sense at the time, and even after watching the second half "run" they made, it still rings true in my head...

Can the Chicago Bears be Considered "Big Time" with the Offense Running Behind?

Are the Bears ready to fulfill all the promise that the media was throwing on them this offseason? I’m not sure yet. At quick glance, it would appear that the offense is coming into its own, but I’m not a believer yet...

My Anger With The Bears' 2005 Draft May Be Unfounded Now

I remember the 2005 NFL Draft like it was yesterday. I remember it because it ticked me off to no end. That was the Cedric Benson draft. Not that taking him with the fourth pick was what made me so angry...

Bears-Lions: If You Are a Gambling Man, Bet on a Close One

The "spread" for the Chicago Bears-Detroit Lions matchup this Sunday is listed at Bears -10. For those of you who don't follow the ways of gambling, that means the Bears are favored to win the game by 10 points...

The Funniest Thing About the Bears-Lions Matchup on Sunday

With the Chicago Bears facing the Detroit Lions this Sunday, Bears fans should be looking at a 3-1 start to the season. I don't want to overlook the Lions, but come on, BARELY winning against the Washington Redskins does not constitute them a good team..

The Matt Forte Saga: Why Is He Struggling So Much?

I am sure I will take some flak for saying this, but Matt Forte is not as good of a running back as everyone thinks. He can be explosive. He can catch the ball. He can make plays after the catch...

Wake Me Up When Week One Starts

Can we cut it out with all this preseason crap already? I’m tired of people making a big deal of preseason games, stats, holdouts, mistakes, etc. None of it matters. The only thing that matters in the preseason is the position battles...

The Chicago Bears Season Lies in the Hands (Literally) of Greg Olsen

I’m going to say it… Greg Olsen is, flat out, the Bears' “X-factor” this season. If he plays at, or above his potential, the Bears could be in for a good ride this season...

The Chicago Bears' Defense: Can They Apply Any Pressure?
