4 Bears make Fox Sports’ list of Top 100 players

If your team’s performance is judged by the total number of its players appearing on a list of the league’s 100 best players…Bears fans should probably prep for another year of being awesomely average. Four Bears made Fox Sports’ list of Top 100 players. The guys and their ranking are as follows: 100 – Jay Cutler [...]

Ex-Bear Cedric Benson finds trouble in Texas…again

Ex-Bear running back (and renowned top 5 draft ‘bust’) Cedric Benson has gotten himself into trouble deep in the heart of Texas…again. This time, Ced (allegedly) punched an Austin bar employee in the face. Remember it was an awkward event involving beers, boats and broads down in Austin two years ago that led the Bears to cutting Ced. Okay, [...]

Predicting the Bears 2010 opening day roster by position: Cornerbacks

How cool is it to be a Chicago sports fan right now… Rumors are swirling that Lebron James will sign with the Bulls shortly after the July 1 NBA free agent shopping period opens. If that’s the case, two Chicago sports teams will be responsible for landing the biggest free agent catches in their respective [...]

Predicting the Bears opening day roster by position: Linebackers

No where in the NFL is there a position on the field tied more to the identity of a franchise than “Linebacker” is to “Chicago.” The names have been associated with the Monsters of the Midway for decades – George, Butkus, Singletary and Urlacher. In 2010, the final opening day roster at LB will come [...]

Marc Bulger will not be Jay Cutler’s backup

We can eliminate another potential veteran backup QB for the Bears. On Wednesday, Marc Bulger– considered a sensible backup option to Jay Cutler – signed on with the Ravens to hold a clipboard for starter, Joe Flacco. The deal is reportedly worth nearly $4 million for one year, which the Chicago Tribune reports is likely [...]

Briggs Says He Likes the Idea of an 18-Game Regular Season

At least one player is in favor of an 18-game schedule. Pro Bowl LB Lance Briggs says he likes the idea of two extra regular-season games and two fewer preseason games, the Chicago Tribune reports. The league has been discussing that possibility with the NFLPA. “I’ll take an 18-game schedule over four preseason games where [...]

Predicting the Bears 2010 opening day roster by position: Defensive Line

The more I think about it, the more the Bears defensive line reminds me of Megan Fox. At first glance, your eyes focus on the obvious physical talent, which – with the exceptions of Anthony Adams and Marcus Harrison – looks especially good running around in shorts (and helmets). On the other hand, there isn’t [...]
