Mike Ditka's Balance Is Not What It Used To Be

I've never been to a celebrity roast for anyone but I like to think this happens every time. Paul Hornung takes the stage and welcomes the roastee to the rostrum, roastee is wasted, knocks over his own table when standing, and then crumbles to the ground when shoved by Hornung. See Mr. Bear's finest moment after the jump. More »

Cedric Benson Runs Past More Red Lights Than Defenders


Cedric Benson, a month removed from a Sun Chips-fueled boozy boating excursion with mom gone awry, was charged with drunk driving this morning in Texas. This will surely help to build sympathy for him against what he says were trumped up charges issued during the May 3 incident. More »

Lance Briggs Is The New Shawn Kemp

You say you like the Athletes Making Babies site? Well, then you're gonna love the tale of the smooth operator that is Bears linebacker Lance Briggs. More »

Like Zombies And Hillary Clinton, Brett Favre Will Not Go Away

It would almost be worth going through a whole new cycle of Brett-Favre-is-unretiring stories to see him in a Chicago Bears uniform in 2009. I said almost. According to Leroy Butler as reported by MSNBC, Favre wants to play this coming season, but not with the Packers. But then, with whom? More »

1st Round, Fourteenth Overall: Bears Select Chris Williams


There are worse things to watch than the Bears offense. For example, there's:

1) Put up Your Dukes
2) Your maiden aunt shaving her legs, etc.
3) Fake-reality YouTube videos of a teenage emo-girl whispering her breathy secrets ("my parents hate me") into a webcam 2.3 millimeters away from her chin.
4) Video of the Bears offense when Kyle Kid "Whiskey" Orton was under center.

Bear Down, Barack Obama

We'd completely forgotten about this, even though it's from our home state and followed it pretty closely when it was happening, so we have to thank Sports By Brooks for reminding us: Barack Obama, when he ran for U.S. Senate from Illinois in 2004, was this close to running against ... DITKA! More »

When The Saints Go Golfing

It's hard to imagine that less than 12 months ago these two teams were meeting for a chance to play in the Super Bowl. Seriously, they were. I looked it up! Devin Hester (The Jester Molester) returned a 64 yard punt, Neckbeard Orton threw the ball like he was throwing back girly cocktails, and just like that the Saints are out of the p-offs. Next! Bears 33, Saints 25 More »

Kyle Orton Takes Step Toward REAL Hall Of Fame


There is some sort of perception that, somehow, we're making fun of Bears quarterback Kyle Orton for his induction in our Hall of Fame. Nothing could be further from the truth. We cheer for Orton full-heartedly and with complete sincerity; it's easy to root for a guy who's obviously having that much fun. More »

Bears Upset Packers, Their Quarterback Sort Of Helped

A cursory look at the 1 o'clock games led one to make a face comparable to sniffing a plate of expired deli meat. But sometimes expired meat is salvageable, which led to the creation of the hot dog. Similarly, this bundle of games gave us a couple of surprises. More »

And Ladies ... He's Single


No real reason for this post, except to point out that this is possibly the most awesome image of Kyle Orton ever captured. More »

Purple Jesus And His Pop Warner Buddies

Far be it from us to impugn the reputation of a team that has won five in a row and looks, on paper, to be one of the hottest teams in the NFL, but ... heavens to Betsy, if that's what a playoff team looks like, sheesh, when's baseball season? More »

It's Purple Jesus Vs. The Neckbeard

Yes, yes, tonight's "Monday Night Football" game is somewhat key to deciding that last playoff slot in the NFC, and it's nice to have an MNF game mean something. But who cares about Purple Jesus and the Vikings. It's Kyle Orton's night to shine! More »

All Kyle Orton, All The Time


Just for fun, in honor of his start this Sunday, here are some more random photos of Deadspin Hall Of Famer Kyle Orton. We know, it's impossible not to find these, but nevertheless: We just can't get enough. These were taken in Paris, which proves Orton's going international. Go Kyle: Give 'em hell Sunday.

More after the jump, of course.

The Thrilling Nature Of An NFC Wild-Card Elimination Game


The NFL Network was crowing about its Cowboys-Packers ratings last week. Let's see how they do with a game much fewer people care about. More »
