Speaking of Muhammad, he had this to say about the state of the Chicago quarterback situation: "In the time Brett Favre has started for the Packers -- what's it been, 16 years? -- I bet the Bears have had 16 different starting quarterbacks. You've got to find the right guy and stick with him.'' more ›

You know that list of needs the Bears have to fill this off-season? Quarterback, running back, offensive line? Well, we can add wide receiver to the list. more ›

This time, their late comeback attempt worked. For the second week, the Bears drove down the field in the final two minutes to score a critical touchdown. But unlike last week's loss to the Vikings, the Bears put the final points on the board and held on to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 19-16. For the first three quarters, neither team had any success getting the ball into the end zone. Repeated trips into the "red... more ›

There was no late-night shopping for championship T-shirts on the way home from our Super Bowl party. We had our intended course home charted out — one that would give enough time for the delivery trucks to drop off the first of the Super Bowl Champs apparel by the time we passed the Sports Authority on the way home from a party in the 'burbs. But there was no need to stop, because the... more ›

Well, that sure looked easy! Opening up at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, the Bears made it perfectly clear who controls the NFC North this year, shutting out the Packers 26-0. This was the first time in Brett Favre's career that the Packers had been held scoreless. The Bears put together a complete effort, winning this game because of their offense, defense and special teams. Rex Grossman looked like a real QB, compiling a 98.6... more ›

The Bears open their 2006 season on Sunday against the Packers up in Green Bay. What a way to kick the season off! While the Bears look to figure into the playoff picture, the Packers are focusing on the Brett Favre farewell (maybe) tour. The Bears should open with a key road victory against a division opponent, but in these big rivalries, one never knows. So just how good are the Bears this year? That's... more ›

Are you ready for some Bears football? Chicagoist sure is! The preseason is over, the roster is set and the Bears head into 2005 full of optimism but with a rookie QB leading the offense. Will they see an improvement over last year's woeful 5-11 campaign? Or will they continue to languish at the bottom of the NFL standing? With the Bears season starting on Sunday, we thought we'd take a look at what's in... more ›

It's hard to think about football when the temp is reaching the north side of 90 but the Bears preseason is already upon us. Tonight, the Bears and the Miami Dolphins face off in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, OH. While it is just the first preseason game, Chicagoist is among the many Bears fans anxious to get a sense of whether we're in for a playoff run or another long season of... more ›

Is Muhsin Muhammad already becomming a bad influence on his new teammates? Early Sunday morning, defensive tackle "Tank" Johnson was arrested on gun charges -- a crime Muhammad plead guilty to in 2002 while playing for the Panthers. more ›

While the NBA Draft Lottery is no longer the most captivating part of the Bulls season, the NFL draft sadly does rank high on the list of Bears fan's radar. By virtue of yet another pathetic season, the Bears have the 4th pick in the draft behind only San Francisco, Miami and Cleveland. The Bears needs are most prevalent on offense, so Chicagoist expects the Bears to take either a running back or wide receiver... more ›

Just hours after his release from the Carolina Panthers (who didn't want to pay a $10 million roster bonus), the Bears pulled off a major coup when they agreed to a deal with All Pro wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad. His deal, which guarantees at least $12 million, could be worth up to $30 million over 6 years. Muhammad caught 93 passes last season for 1,405 yards and 16 touchdowns. And that was after fellow WR... more ›
