The Chicago Bears head to Detroit for a late Thanksgiving morning tilt against the Lions. For the sake of all involved (fans, players, coaching staff), the game should end before most eat their turkey, stuffing and other traditional Turkey Day dishes. No need to ruin the appetites of those choosing to watch the fools’ gold that is the Chicago Bears. In an attempt to have a … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears players as Thanksgiving Dinner items

The Chicago Bears 2014 season feels like root canal

By

The Chicago Bears have been a mix of bad, interesting and downright painful to watch this season. Those feelings peak on Sunday, last through the following days and bleed into the next week’s matchup. There is no break from the pain and suffering; and no positive outlook.

Chicago Bears Predictions: Week One

By

It’s that time of year again, folks; time for “Joestradamus” to bust out the crystal ball and make Chicago Bears predictions for 2013. Remind me to have my legal people to look into getting “Joestradamus” trademarked, I think I’m onto something here.
