There are rumors floating around that Charlie Weis is interested in the head coaching position for the Chicago Bears. With Lovie Smith flailing at the arms as the head coach, I am all for a change in the guard,but I'm not sure Charlie Weis is head coach material. I will shy away from getting into specifics about his work at Notre Dame.  I have a feeling that his woes were more on ...

The 12 Most Intriguing Free Agency Options for the 2010 Chicago Bears

Posted: 3rd December 2009 by Scott Ottersen in NFL
With the 2009 season already down the crapper, I guess it is time to start looking forward to 2010. Without having a first or second round pick in next year's draft, the Bears are going to have a tough time building up their roster through young players, so free agency is the next best option. Of course, this all hinges on the Collective Bargaining Agreement being signed. If one is not ...

This Is Exactly What I Feel Like Doing To The Chicago Bears

Posted: 23rd November 2009 by Scott Ottersen in NFL
Whether it be depantsing them myself and exposing their weak manhood or depantsing myself in front of their team bus, I feel like showing off my butt cheeks the same way Devin Hester did last night on NBC Sunday Night Football. The only difference between him showing his butt and me showing mine is that mine would be funny. At least, I would think so. I will admit that the Bears played somewhat ...

50th Article, 50 Reasons Why NOT to Watch The Chicago Bears

Posted: 16th November 2009 by Scott Ottersen in NFL
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. 5. The remainder of their opponents are 32-30 (helped out, greatly, by Minnesota).á Still... if they can't beat bad teams, why on earth would they be able to beat halfway decent teams? 6. ...

Taj Gibson Is Nice Edition To Chicago Bulls’ Starting Lineup

Posted: 12th November 2009 by Scott Ottersen in NBA
The Chicago Bulls are struggling.á There is no doubt about that. I do not believe it has anything to do with Tyrus Thomas being out.á I really don't think he makes the Bulls that much better.á I'm not saying that he wouldn't help, but I just don't think it's hurting the Bulls as much to have him out. What I do like about Thomas being out is that it is allowing Taj ...

I Don’t Think the Chicago Bears Offense Was Truly That Bad

Posted: 2nd November 2009 by Scott Ottersen in NFL
With the Bears coming off a victory on Sunday against the lowly Cleveland Browns, all I have been hearing and reading about is how poor the offense was. Was I watching the same game? I'm not about to say that the offense was stellar and that they tore the Browns apart.á But, at the same time, they did put up 23 points (offensively), ran for 170 yards, and put up 225 yards ...

How Life Can Get in the Way of Football

Posted: 14th October 2009 by Scott Ottersen in NFL
First off, I want to apologize for not gracing you all with an article for the past few days.á I have been meaning to write up a quarterly report on where the Bears stand, but life has gotten in the way of that. I won't bore you with the details of my personal life, but let's just say that enough happened where my mind was nowhere near the pleasures of football, ...

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

Posted: 6th October 2009 by Scott Ottersen in NFL
I remember the 2005 NFL Draft like it was yesterday.á á I remember it because it ticked me off to no end. á That was the Cedric Benson draft.á Not that taking him with the fourth pick was what made me so angry.á Well, yes, it kind of was.ááThe Bearsáhad gone out the year before and got Thomas Jones to beáthe main guy.á And he responded with a near 1,000-yard performance, even with missing ...

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

Posted: 2nd October 2009 by Scott Ottersen in NFL
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. Seems fair enough against the paltry Lions, right? Well, if history has a say in the game on Sunday, it would be wise to take the Lions at +10. In the last seven games, the ...

The Funniest Thing About the Bears-Lions Matchup on Sunday

Posted: 29th September 2009 by Scott Ottersen in NFL
With the Chicago Bears facing the Detroit Lions this Sunday, Bears fans should be looking at a 3-1 start to the season.á I don't want to overlook the Lions, but come on, BARELY winning against the Washington Redskins does not constitute them a good team.á I was going to do a traditional matchup piece for the game, but then I thought better...I mean, it's the Detroit Lions.á And, they're most likely ...
