Saw a guy wearing Muhsin Muhammed jersey yesterday

I was in downtown Chicago yesterday when I saw someone wearing a Muhsin Muhammed Bears jersey.
At first I was amazed. Muhammed didn’t exactly have a stellar career while in a Bears uniform. In fact, near the end of his tenure here, it really was “boo” — and not “Mooooose!” — that you heard when he [...]

A CBS News report says that former Bear defensive tackle — and occasional touchdown-maker — William “the Refrigerator” Perry was released from a South Carolina hospital yesterday.
Perry had been hospitalized with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a chronic inflammation of the peripheral nerves.
Perry is one of those Bears that has become legendary. Although it’s questionable how much of [...]

The annual Bears Expo took place last weekend at Soldier Field. Of course, most of the buzz there centered on new quarterback Jay Cutler.
But there was an interesting sidebar, of course, centering on the Bears’ weak cast of wide receivers. According to a story in the Sun-Times, several attendees at the expo questioned Bears general [...]

After the Bears acquired Jay Cutler, I was amazed to hear people on talk radio still singing the praises of Kyle Orton. For those who don’t know them, here are Orton’s stats for last season: He completed 58.5 percent of his passes, for 2,972 yards, 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. His quarterback rating came in [...]

The Chicago Bears ended their mediocre season with a victory over the New Orleans Saints.  Although it meant nothing, it was one of the Bears most entertaining games of the season.  Maybe they should always play like it doesn’t matter.  Kyle Orton looked like a man desperate to prove that he deserves the starting quarterback [...]

A Christmas miracle: Bears beat Packers

Chicago Bears: 35
Green Bay Packers: 7
The last time the Bears played the Packers, I watched the game after unsuccessfully trying to complete the Chicago marathon in 90 degree weather. It is, of course, appropriate that for their second meeting, the weather was freezing cold. And by cold, I mean 2 degree wind chill [...]

The Chicago Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings in front of a national television audience on Monday Night Football. Although the Bears had been mathematically still in the playoff race, this loss confirmed what everyone already knew: The Bears will have no post-season this year.

Redskins: 24
Bears:  16
Last night’s Chicago Bears loss to the Washington Redskins may not be as costly to the line-up as originally thought.  When Rex Grossman went down with a knee injury, it looked serious enough to not only end his season, but to impact his ability to play next year.
Today the Bears announced that Rex [...]

New York Giants: 21
Chicago Bears: 16
Although, granted, the New York Giants were beating themselves for most of the game, the Chicago Bears really should have come down with this victory today. Instead, following a late score, the Giants beat the Bears on their home turf.
The Bears had their own problems, dropping passes they [...]

Bears win in OT, Hester sets return record

Thankfully my prediction of a boring game between the Chicago Bears and the Denver Broncos did not come true. In fact, the Bears OT win over the Broncos was probably the most exciting game this season.
The Bears were pretty much at the end of the line play-off wise if they lost Sunday, so Coach Lovie [...]
