Chicago Bears

It wasn’t until this weekend when I ran into an old college teammate who lives in Chicago that I considered the significance of the Chiefs signing Bears safety Mike Brown. Frank Barnes, a lifelong Bears fan, wouldn’t quit running his mouth about Brown.

By Tyler Pollard Reason: Manning took the Colts on that amazing run last year wining thier last nine games to put them in the playoffs. Thier are alot of questions for the Colts heading into 2009. How will Jim Caldwell do? Will Payton Manning's knee hold up? Well how about this the Colts were 31st in the leagu...

By Max Kienzler The rumor mill was working overtime as people tried figuring out if Angelo could pull the trigger on a deal. I questioned the Jay Cutler move when it was made because I was pressing so hard for the Cardinal wideout. But that was OK, because next came the pipedream known as Torry Holt. He made sens...

By Jeff Hughes When the Chicago Bears open the 2009 season at that toilet in Wisconsin on a warm September evening, it won't be Jay Cutler and new-look offense I'll be focused on.  Yes, I think the Prime Cut we see in Week...

He thinks probable suspension too much for team Brian Urlacher is all about giving second chances. He supported Tank Johnson until Johnson eventually pushed the Bears over the limit.

By Taylor Rummel Every year, NFL teams are tasked with a similar goal: To bring home a championship. So, for example, since Philip Rivers surpassed the 3,125 yard, 21 touchdown category last year, San Diego gets awarded a point, (from the quarterback category).

By Roy Taylor Brian Piccolo’s story is well known and has been documented at BearsHistory.com for a decade.  Adding him to the Chicago Bears Ring of Honor was a no-brainer. Today’s addition is linebacker Doug Buffone, who played 14 seasons for the Bears. We’re not sure, but perhaps Buffone holds the recor...

By Jacob Nitzberg Rogers set the NCAA record for consecutive regular season games with a touchdown reception and was Michigan State's all-time leader in touchdown receptions (27), and 100-yard receiving games (12). In his junior and final season, Rogers had 68 receptions for 1,351 yards and 13 TDs, and w...

By Roy Taylor Halfback/flanker Johnny Morris is the latest addition to the BearsHistory.com Chicago Bears Ring of Honor. Morris began his career as a halfback but was moved to wide receiver (flanker in the parlance of the day), and became the Chicago Bears’ all-time leading receiver.  Morris’ move to f...

By Michael McMasters While the Bears are actively seeking a WR to play alongside Devin Hester, they continue to deny any interest in Marshall.  They seem very interested in Plaxico Burress, who might not even play a down of the 2009 NFL season.  Something fishy is going on here. 

By Roy Taylor In 2008, the Chicago Bears announced that fans would no longer be allowed to remain in the parking lots while the game was in progress, eliminating a longstanding tradition of non-ticketed fans being able to participate on gameday to a small degree. Today, the Chicago Sun-Times is report...

And the Bears could have some new threads, too. Team spokesman Scott Hagel said the Bears are exploring the possibility of adding a sponsorship patch to practice jerseys, a move first made by the Tennessee Titans at least a year ago. The NFL tackled ...

By Roy Taylor Tony Dungy is joining the list of analysts that say the Bears took a huge gamble by acquiring Jay Cutler.  I say hooey.  And it wasn’t a huge gamble to NOT have a franchise quarterback for 58 years? Dear Lord, Matt Forte got dinged in non-contact practice.  It seems to be minor, keep your fingers...

By Clay Cunningham We get off the bus running the ball." -Lovie Smith, following virtually every Bears game over the past five years. If Hester jumps out of he gate with a few deep scores early in the season, it makes teams more honest, thus creating more open space for Forte and the one-two Tight End punch of Greg...

By Matthew Zuchowski Unlike Grossman, Cutler has displayed the consistency the past two seasons to prove that he belongs in the talks for best young quarterback in the NFL. When Grossman failed to pan out, Turner had to scale back the Bears playbook because of the inherent weaknesses of Brian Griese and Kyle Or...

By Jacob Nitzberg The Cover-Two defense employed by the Bears is built around not giving up the deep ball.  If the Bears cannot do anything to shore up the back of the secondary, the lack of depth will allow more plays like last year's 99-yard Bernard Berrian touchdown on Sunday Night Football to happen.

By Michael Rushton The year is 2006.  Optimism is in the air around Halas Hall as the Chicago Bears' defensive performance in 2005 had just propelled them into the playoffs for the first time since 2002.  Particularly excited is Offensive Coordinator Ron Turner. 

By Brad Biggs While the Bears held their mandatory veteran minicamp just as soon as possible, most teams have just gotten into the swing of things. The Bears feel good about their standing at safety even if coach Lovie Smith said both positions are open.

By Max Kienzler With the 99th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected Juaquin Iglesias (WR) from Oklahoma. With the 119th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected D.J. Moore (CB) from Vanderbilt. With the 190th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected Al Afalava (S) Or...

By Max Kienzler So, reviewing the Chicago Bears selection on the first day of the draft, they selected ... oh wait, did I miss something? Who did we pick? But I refuse to give Angelo any credit because there was no way of knowing that Johnson would not be selected by a team in the 50-64 pick range. It was just luck th...

By Brad Biggs The Bears brought a couple of interesting prospects for the later rounds in to Halas Hall for official visits--Texas' Henry Melton and Rutgers' Jamaal Westerman. Melton is a former fullback who outgrew that position. He's very raw but has some great tools to work with and could be the kind o...

By Roy Taylor The Bears have made The Onion.  What a great milestone in Chicago Bears History.  According to this source, the Bears have signed a dynamic new wide receiver.  A receiver that could team with Jay Cutler to create the best quarterback-receiver duo in Bears history.

By Brad Biggs If general manager Jerry Angelo has done one thing well in the draft, it's find defensive backs in the later rounds. Nathan Vasher, Chris Harris, Kevin Payne, Corey Graham and Todd Johnson were all selected in the fourth round... Nathan Vasher, Chris Harris, Kevin Payne, Corey Graham and Tod...

By Roman Modrowski I hope Tom Waddle's dream doesn't portend the next radio stunt, because the former Bears receiver and co-host of the "Waddle & Silvy" show on ESPN 1000 would be in even worse shape than Harry Teinowitz if he acts out his nightmare.

By Roman Modrowski I don't think there is a Bears fan alive who wishes Cedric Benson were still the running back here instead of Matt Forte. He underachieved on the field and alienated a fan base off the field. But still, I think Benson has a point when he says he wasn't treated entirely fairly in Chicago.

By Brad Biggs When the Broncos' job became available following the surprise firing of Mike Shanahan it was instantly considered the best opening for head-coaching candidates. Why? Not only is owner Pat Bowlen considered one of the better men to work for in the league, the Broncos were one of the few tea...

By Joe Zedalis Bears general manager Jerry Angelo didn't seem to find much fault with Urlacher this season. Is he the Brian Urlacher of old? I can't say that. Could he still make a Pro Bowl? He still has enough to make a Pro Bowl. He's still a very good football player. I have to go with what I see on tape."

The standard Super Bowl recipe -- one part chili, 99 parts testosterone -- has been spiced up this year with a pinch of "man crush."

By chicagosports Eight months since their trip to the Super Bowl, they're 1-3, banged up in bad places, on their second quarterback, who's no better than their first quarterback, and they were just embarrassed by the Detroit Lions. Over at ESPN, it's Packers across the board, both of them.

By chicagosports Forget about the dream Week 1 matchup. Forget about Ladainian Tomlinson vs. Brian Urlacher or Brian Urlacher vs. Shawn Merriman or Ron Turner vs. Norv Turner or that the man's name is Norv -- short for Norval. This game hinges on one thing and one thing only. That Nike commercial.

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher was fined 100,000 by the NFL for wearing a cap during Super Bowl media day that promoted a sponsor not authorized by the league.
