The Thin Line Between Fan and Fanatic
Let's say you love the Chicago Bears. (Relax....it's just an example.) And let's say you don't mind having a few dozen tattoos on your body. That doesn't logically follow that you need 92 Bears autographs permanently inked in your skin. More »

Bears Win Battle Of Mediocrity
"It's a great opportunity to get a field goal to win the game, but at the same time it's a total team effort," Gould said. "The offense battled back. And the coin toss went our way. The offense played well just to get the ball down in range." [Chicago Tribune]

This Is How Quickly A Game Can Turn
Last night, after a ridiculously silly personal foul penalty by Benny Sapp kept a Chicago drive alive, the Bears found themselves at the one-yard line with a 7-3 lead late in the first-half. A field goal would have given them a nice advantage heading toward halftime, while a touchdown would have put them in command of the game. Literally one minute later (and about three seconds later in game clock time) the Bears were down 10-7 and on their way to second place in the standings behind the Minnesota Vikings. More »

Note to Bears fans: This story includes the term "alleged effeminate antics." Proceed.

Sunday Night Football: Bears-Colts
It's the second to last game of the first week of the season, of which there will be only two more this decade. It all takes place in venerable Lucas Oil Stadium. How effective will the Bears passing game be? Will we find out what a bursa sac is? How would John Madden solve the dispute between Russia and Georgia? Looks like you picked the wrong week to stop jumping.

NFL Season Preview: Chicago Bears
The NFL season has officially started, so it's time to finish the impassioned season previews from various writers, bloggers, diehard fans, cooks, TV personalities, and numerous other walks of life whom consider football the only sport worth watching. Clearly, these previews will be running until, oh, the first round of the wild card playoffs based on how quickly they've been coming in. So, for the next few days, expect a lot of these.

Kyle Orton Solemnly Vows To Never Be Drunk On Camera Again
That's his promise. In his new role as the Bears starting quarterback, Orton has sworn that he's all business and that his hard-partying days of internet lore are long behind him. He's a new man — a married man — who won't give his teammates a reason to question his leadership abilities this time around. He's more mature and refined; he's a man with a plan, a 50-cent razor and 10-cent arm. But he's the Bears quarterback: More »

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.

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!
