    NFL Draft 2015

    Unless the Titans can pull off a miracle trade with SD Chargers for Phillip Rivers, there stands to be very little drama at the top of the first round. While everyone is picking the Bears to draft a WR (Cooper or White) I'm suggesting they reach a little and draft help at DB. Specifically...

    Fun with the starting lineup

    Ok, Braves fans, NOW what's your projected starting lineup in light of Josh Cunningham's announcement? Bet he's a three....nothing but a three!

    Bears vs. Saints - Who ya got?

    If the Bears don't pressure Drew Brees, results will be similar to Lions game. Defense can't count on scoring defensive TDs every week. Peppers, Wooten and McClellen must step up. Prediction: Saints 35 Bears 28. Hope I'm wrong.

    NFL Draft

    Phil Emory mentions today that he's already been contacted by teams wanting to trade up to the #20 pick in the first round. He added that the execution of a trade would likely not happen until they're on the clock. Other comments of note: Looking at bring back Israel Idonije; Josh Mckown is...

    NFL Draft Fans / Bear Fans

    Well, the draft is a little over a month away and things are starting to become more clear as to which direction the Bears will take. Of course, there's no certainty, but it looks like OT and TE have been addressed via UFA. So...I see the Bears taking a LB or WR in the first round. Arthur Brown...

    Is 15 wins enough to...

    Get an invitation to one of those second level post season tournaments (below the NIT)? I've never been a fan of those tournaments because I've viewed them as non-value add (no media coverage...no bump to recruiting). On second thought, I think I would be happy to see BU in a low level...

    Important Rebound Game

    One litmus test of good coaching can be seen in how a team responds after a blowout loss. Well coached teams typically turn it around after an embarrassing loss. It'll be very interesting to see what kind of intensity and focus we have in this upcoming game against SIU. I know the opposition...

    Bears - Seahawks What nobody's Talking About

    While angst in Bear-land continues over Coach Lovie's decision to not kick a field goal toward the end of the first half, and the usual discussion of the offensive line, nobody is talking about some serious issues with this Bear team: 1. What happened to the old Matt Forte? I know he's been...

    Bear's Offensive Line

    Lance Louis has a torn ACL...done for the year. A bad line just got worse.

    Jay Cutler and Alex Smith

    I'm very interested to see if either Cutler or Smith plays in Monday night's Bears vs. 49's game. Both had significant concussions and with the NFL's vague concussion policy you could see one play while the other sits....with potential playoff ramifications. Truthfully, both should sit...

    Bears Lucky or Good?

    Amazing 10th touchdown by a defensive player in last 20 games. This time Tim Jennings (who HAS to make the pro-bowl) is the thief. Question is: Are the Bears lucky or good? Or both? My view is that it's nice to see younger players (Jennings, Conte, Wright, Paei, McClellen) filling around an...

    3 Point Shooting....What if

    While it's not a mystery that BU has struggled through the last couple of seasons without a potent perimeter shooting game OR low post presence, I think there's hope that this year could be significantly different on both fronts. But specifically, the perimeter game could be better. It's not...

    Raffy Torres Suspended Indefinitely

    Phoenix Coyote player Rafael Torres was just indefinitely suspended by the NHL for his head shot on Blackhawk player Marian Hossa. Hockey fans take note....the NHL is following suit with the NFL protecting against unwarranted head shots....hopefully they won't go overboard like the NFL did...

    Bear's longsnapper also on IR

    This didn't get much attention, but Patrick Mannelly, arguably the best longsnapper in the league over the past decade, tore his ACL and is done for the year. How do you feel about Jake Laptad? He's your new longsnapper, Bear fans.

    The State of the Program

    I'm going to stay away from the "fire the coach" theme and state that there's a bigger issue relative to BU basketball: No buzz. Forgive the slang, but those of you who've been a fan for a while know what I mean. Nevermind the loss against Eastern...pretend we won that game...there's still no...
