The Chicago Bears traded quarterback Brian Griese to Tampa Bay on Monday. In exchange, Tampa Bay is giving up a 2009 draft pick. I personally like Brian Griese, mostly because of our shared collegiate alma mater, so I am a bit disappointed in that regard. More disappointing, though, is the realization that […]
The Chicago Bears announced this week that normally third string quarterback Kyle Orton will be the starter for the next game. Rex Grossman is, of course, out with an injury, but there is nothing physically wrong with Brian Griese. So why the switch?
While Coach Lovie Smith said that he went with the quarterback […]

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 […]
The Chicago Bears lost another game that they could have won today, this time to the Seattle Seahawks. If a few more catchable passes would have been caught, and few more blocks would have been made, this could have had a better outcome than a 30-23 loss.
The first possession of the game for the […]
Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks
Sunday November 18th, 3:15 p.m. central
TV: Fox
As the season wears on for the Chicago Bears, it is increasingly difficult to predict how they will perform on any given Sunday. Will they fumble? Will the defense step up or collapse? Add to the normal conundrum the fact that Rex […]
Coach Lovie Smith announced yesterday that quarterback Rex Grossman will be starting this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. From his remarks, it appears that Grossman would be the starter, even if Griese had not been kept out of practice this week because of his sprained shoulder. Griese hopes to practice today, but even if he […]
Luckily for Chicago Bears quarterback Brian Griese, the injury that caused him to leave Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders is not serious. The bad news is that it may cost him his starting job anyway.
Griese’s injury has been labeled a “shoulder sprain” and probably will not keep him out of the next game. […]
The first 55 minutes of game time of the Chicago Bears game versus the Oakland Raiders was a snooze fest. The teams exchanged punts and each put a field goal on the board. The only things keeping me awake were the Bears quarterback change and the fact that the Raiders kept kicking to […]

Rex Grossman put the quash on rumors that he had asked to be traded from the Chicago Bears. His agent also denied such rumors, saying that Rex had not mentioned anything to him about it, so it must not be true.
I had not heard the rumors, which apparently were spread on local sports radio on […]

In announcement that really surprised no one, today Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith officially announced that Brian Griese will be taking over the quarterbacking duties this Sunday versus the Detroit Lions.
Lovie said, “Offensively, we’re not getting a whole lot done. It’s not one person. I just think we need a breath of fresh air, […]
