The Prodigal, Bloodshot, Neckbearded, Booze-Swilling Son Returns

In the past hour there have been no less than three emails with "The Neckbeard Returns!" as the subject line. This is either a bold move or an absolutely desperate one, but it's true: Kyle Orton is the starting quarterback for the 2008 Chicago Bears' season opener. Orton overcame Rex Grossman in the "open competition" portion of the Chicago Bears training camp, edging out the starting spot thanks to a pre-season campaign which was not exactly eye-popping, but moderately un-Grossman like.

Rex Grossman or Kyle Orton? A Coin Flip Shall Decide Chicago's Quarterbacking Fate

It's only July and already Bears fans are terrified. Who's going to start at quarterback: The mediocre bearded guy or the mediocre short guy? Well, even the players themselves can't decide. So they did what any reasonable, competitive football player would do...they flipped a coin. Cue the Chicago Tribune: 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 »

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.

There's Only One Answer To The Bears' QB Problem

After Sexy Rexy Grossman's third consecutive — or fourth, or fifth, or whatever — horrific appearance last week, Bears fans are screaming for backup Brian Griese. But let's not forget: He's got plenty of baggage himself. More »

Hank Blalock's Workout Regimen

It's drunken athlete pictures day here at Deadspin. While these can't quite compete with the raw lunacy of plastered "Drink Like A Champion" pictures of the starting Super Bowl quarterback, the glorious ladies at On The DL — big congrats to them on their mention in the Boston Herald, by the way — have dug up shots of the Rangers' Hank Blalock liquoring up with his personal trainer.
