Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions won a game that mattered

Sometimes overreactions are appropriate. And in the case of Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions, they’ve earned every hysterical and asinine hot take fans and analysts will make about them Friday morning — and maybe throughout the rest of the season. It’s time to drink the Kool-Aid. The Lions are leg...

Caleb Williams can return to USC instead of playing for the NFL team with the No. 1 overall pick

Caleb Williams’ father is absolutely right. Carl Williams talked to GQ’s Sam Schube for a profile about his son. He said that the NFL Draft system is “completely backwards.” After years of playing and training with the best programs at each level of football, Caleb is now forced to go play for the w...

Nathan Peterman makes Bears roster after all as white mediocrity remains undefeated [Updated]

Update Aug. 31: After cutting Nathan Peterman in favor of undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent out of DII Shepherd University, the Chicago Bears have added the former to the 53-man roster. Both will serve as backups to Justin Fields....

Jordan Love seems a bit confused on Bears-Packers rivalry

The Jordan Love era has begun in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers now playing for the New York Jets, and it might already be off to a lousy start months before any real games are played. Love posted a quick Twitter video wishing Chicago Bears fans a happy Father’s Day. If that isn’t weird enough, it’s u...

So you traded the No. 1 pick — now what, Chicago?

The Chicago Bears failed in the most ideal way possible last season. They finished with the worst record in the NFL, and still found a way to unleash breathtaking athleticism from Justin Fields. ...

Echo Kellum's mixed feelings on Chicago Bears owners & new stadium

Chicago just took everything from Carolina and then asked for Moore

It had been long rumored that the Chicago Bears were going to move off the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. In such a quarterback-heavy class, a team with a solid situation under center was destined for a great haul in exchange for a top draft pick. While most experts assumed the Indianapol...

Here are the most likely suitors for the Chicago Bears' No. 1 overall pick

The NFL belongs to the Chicago Bears for the next two months, regardless of whatever revelation Aaron Rodgers has. They have pocket aces, the Big Joker, Draw Four, whatever your card game of choice is, the Bears have the best hand — the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. It appears likely that the...

Trading Justin Fields shouldn’t even be a discussion

The Chicago Bears own the No. 1 pick — congratulations on yet another successful tank — and some hosts of sports debate shows are weighing whether they should trade Justin Fields and then draft Bryce Young. This is ridiculous and not going to happen. ...

The sports figures we lost in 2023

Here is where we look at some of the athletes and sports figures we’ve lost in 2023. That list includes football legends Jim Brown, and Dick Butkus, basketball HoFer Willis Reed, former men’s college basketball coach Bob Knight, hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, Heisman Trophy-winning running back Ch...

Chicago Bears name B1G commish Kevin Warren as team president

Soon-to-be former Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren is expected to take over as CEO and president of the Chicago Bears, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The move comes amid a rebuild with the team finishing the year 3-14, and landing the No. 1 pick in the draft. This is a vital stretch for t...

Yes, the Chicago Bears should upgrade… the coaching staff

The Chicago Bears have an opportunity to make the king of all shrewd football decisions this offseason, and I’m not talking about replacing Justin Fields. No, no, no. What I’m offering is much more… drastic. Chicago is as well positioned as any rebuilding team, and there’s one coach who’s basically ...

I’m adrift in a world where the Chicago Bears do smart things

For 30 years now, anything good that happened to the Chicago Bears was assuredly an accident. The only time they ever seemed streamlined was in the middle of the 2000s when they had a GM that hired his own coach, which was Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith. That was the only time they’ve made the playoff...

I still don't believe these Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings need to gather as an organization and purchase binders full of Powerball tickets, because their luck has turned for the better (the Powerball is at a $1B, in case you didn’t know)....

Maybe the Bears’ front office does know what it’s doing

There has been reason for NFL analysts and fans far and wide to complain about the Chicago Bears roster since offseason workouts began....

Thursday Night Football: Commanders visit Bears and all we’re asking for is a touchdown

Dick Butkus: Comedy icon

When the NFL’s 100 Greatest Players of All Time list was assembled back in 2010, legendary Chicago Bears middle linebacker Dick Butkus was voted 10th by the panel. He was presented by longtime Indianapolis Colts offensive line coach Howard Mudd. A story he told about Butkus pretty much sums up the l...

Mitch Trubisky has one more chance

Mitch Trubisky is getting another shot in the NFL as a starting quarterback. Not a bad feel-good story for Week 1. It’s hard to be the first quarterback taken at No. 2 in a draft in which Patrick Mahomes was selected eight picks later, especially being that his career has, in most ways, gone the opp...
