Gale Sayers, the brightest of lights
Five seasons. Sixty-eight games. That’s all it took for Gale Sayers to prove to everyone he was one of the greatest running backs in football history (at the time only Jim Brown would have been argued to be in the same stratosphere). Just five, and those five seasons still hold up today to put Sayer...

This is Horse$#&!: Nick Foles is Just Some More Chicago Bears Patchwork
For most of their fans, watching the Bears in the offseason is a lot like watching Martin Landau’s Bela Lugosi in the lake with the octopus in “Ed Wood.” Not only does he have to thrash about wildly, but he has to additionally do the thrashing about for the inanimate and unwieldy beast he’s wrestlin...
Matt Nagy Kind Of Did It To Himself This Time
Matt Nagy spent most of the offseason openly tormenting himself and his team about the double-doink kick that knocked the Bears out of last year’s playoffs. The stakes behind Sunday’s game-losing miss weren’t nearly as high—nobody is going to remember the Bears losing a game 17–16 in October, becaus...
The Bears Missed A Field Goal To Lose A Game
The Chicago Bears have some *ahem* history with missed field goals, and the failure of Cody Parkey in last season’s playoffs clearly haunted the psyche of coach Matt Nagy all summer. But while this miss—by replacement kicker Eddy Pineiro to lose 17-16 against the Chargers—may not be as significant a...
Bears Fans Boo Team Off The Field After Offense Freezes At The Goal Line
Is this football? I think it’s supposed to be football, but what I’m seeing is an especially glitchy game of Madden I need to turn off and turn back on again. And the fans in Chicago seem to agree with me. Heading into halftime against the Chargers, down 7-6 with 45 seconds remaining in the quarter,...
Skycam Had The Perfect Shot Of Cordarrelle Patterson's 102-Yard TD Return
Not much went right for the 3-3 Bears in their 36-25 home loss to the Saints, but there was a heroic moment for fans of both camera tech and TV production. Bears fans: it’s not too late to jump off that sinking ship and bandwagon either, and will probably be more profitable....
Khalil Mack Didn't Want To Talk To Anyone After The Raiders' O-Line Kicked His Ass
For those who revel in the schadenfreude that the failures of Jon Gruden tend to provide, Sunday’s Bears-Raiders game was a big moment as it was the first time Khalil Mack would face off against his former team. Yet the narrative of the Mack trade constantly blowing up in Gruden’s face had to be put...
Bears' Roquan Smith Says He'll Play This Week After Missing One Game For "Personal Reasons"
Linebacker Roquan Smith, who didn’t have an injury designation, was a last-minute scratch this past Sunday before the Bears played the Vikings. As mysterious as his absence was, it seems that it’ll only be a one-week blip....
