Eric Dickerson Explains Why ’85 Bears Will Never Go Away (Exclusive Part 3/3)

December 9, 2021 By Leave a Comment

No matter what happens, the ’85 Bears will never actually go away. We’ll never stop hearing about them. “We get it already,” said Pro and now Collegiate Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson during our in-depth exclusive conversation.

It’s kind of understandable, given the state of the Chicago Bears franchise these days. In the 36 years since they won Super Bowl XX, they have only been back to the big game once, the NFC title game twice and they haven’t claimed another championship.

NFL History: Teams With Longest Winning Streaks

November 10, 2021 By Leave a Comment

patriots logo

One of the reasons the NFL is so captivating is because it is so unpredictable. Injuries, the draft, and player trades mean that all the teams are on pretty much even levels for the majority of the season. But one or two star players can still make a difference to the whole league.

Every once in a while, a team with 8, 9, or even as many 15 amazing players come together and they go on a huge winning streak that spans two seasons.

Chicago Bears to Arlington Heights: Good, Bad, Ugly

September 29, 2021 By Leave a Comment

You’ve heard the news by now- the Chicago Bears have signed the purchase agreement for the Arlington International Racecourse property in suburban Arlington Heights, Illinois. While it’s not set in stone yet that the Bears will move out of Soldier Field, it is looking very likely right now. 

However, this could also be just a negotiating tactic, one that’s very common in American sports. Hold your host city hostage to your demands by telling them you’re ready to move to another one. It’s not a done deal that the Bears will

Justin Fields Should Have Been Chicago Bears QB1 on Day 1

September 26, 2021 By Leave a Comment

As much as Chicago Bears Head Coach Matt Nagy was determined to hold his team back this season, he hand was finally forced with an injury to QB1 Andy Dalton in the 20-17 win over the Bengals last week. While Dalton seemed to be finding his feet well and was having a decent game, it wasn’t until Josh Fields came on that Bears fans at Soldier Field suddenly woke up and finally got excited.

The first round pick out of Ohio State ended the game with a 46.2% completion rate, and despite showing some flashes of brilliance, was sacked twice to go along with a fumble, which he recovered. [Read more…]

Brandon Lloyd Gives Blunt Take on Recent Illini Coaches (EXCLUSIVE)

September 6, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Brandon Lloyd provided high praise of Illinois Fighting Illini Coach Bret Bielema, describing who he is and what he can do. During our exclusive conversation, Lloyd said Bielema is the first Illini football coach to bring these attributes to the table since Ron Turner, who was his coach at Illinois.

Which implicitly says that, well, Ron Zook, Tim Beckman, Bill Cubit and Lovie Smith simply didn’t have these attributes. We caught up to Brandon Lloyd at halftime of the Illini season opening win over Nebraska. The second leading receiver in Illinois football history was on hand as part of the 20th anniversary reunion and celebration of the 2001 Big Ten title team.

Don’t Give Jay Cutler, Brett Favre Platforms on COVID Issues

August 17, 2021 By 1 Comment

Examples number 9,234,678 and 9,234,679 on why we shouldn’t look to professional athletes for guidance on serious social issues- Jay Cutler and Brett Favre. The former was in the news yesterday for his losing an endorsement over his anti-mask stance, and his potential run for a school board presidency in his home state of Tennessee.

The latter is a top trending term on the internet right now due to his appearing on CNN to talk about the risks of CTE in playing football, and how that puts weight on the decision to when kids should be allowed to play.

New Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields Excites Northwestern Coach Pat Fitzgerald

May 1, 2021 By Leave a Comment

The Chicago Bears did exactly what they had to this NFL Draft weekend- they went out and got a real quarterback. Andy Dalton and Nick Foles simply won’t cut it. Bears GM Ryan Pace and Bears Head Coach Matt Nagy know that, just as they know that this draft and this season is their final chance to get it right.

The draft board fall of Justin Fields is just like the purpose/advantage of cryptocurrency- there is no discernible explanation or reason. The reasons given for why Fields slid down the draft don’t come close to making any sense, but when he did, the Bears made their move to get him.

Kyle Long Sees a Major Shift in Athletes Realizing, Utilizing their Platforms

February 4, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Former Chicago Bears offensive lineman Kyle Long made an easy, natural transition into broadcasting as his colorful, unique personality was already often on display during his playing days.

Long, an Analyst for CBS Sports, is very rare in this regard. Typically, we see and hear professional athletes being vanilla and corporate, whenever they speak to the media. Then, after retirement and a transition into broadcasting, all of a sudden this new human being, with a much more interesting persona, emerges.
