Top Ten Chicago Sports
A couple years back I grew out a beard for "Manuary" and it happened to be the about the same time of the Super Bowl and it happened to be the same Super Bowl that my Chicago Bears were in.

The True (Fantasy) Impact of Bernard Berrian —
The NFL Minute
When the Minnesota Vikings acquired former Bears wide receiver Bernard Berrian, some thought it was a mistake, if only because the Vikings offered him a 6-year, $42 million deal. Berrian, as most Bears fans can attest to, is a highly talented athlete with inconsistent hands. There were times last season when Berrian would haul in a spectacular catch, but there were also moments when he ...

Here is a preview of the Bears upcoming season .
The Bear offense wasn't spectacular in their 2006 Super Bowl season but last year it was abysmal - especially the running game. Chicago clearly missed Thomas Jones in the backfield as they only produced 83.3 yards rushing per game without him. Cedric Benson could not handle the load and, due to his poor production and off the field ...

Nationalsportsreview.com Blogs
Four months ago, Brett Favre claimed he was done with football. Done with two-a-day practices, done with the Lambeau Leap, done with throwing bullet screen passes and beautiful deep balls. After 15 years, one Super Bowl title and countless NFL records, Favre left the Green Bay Packers for a whole lot of nothing on his land in Mississippi.
Now that has all changed. Favre, the only player to ...

1. Can the Dominant Defense/Special Teams Unit (Devin Hester) Overcome a Woeful Offense?
No. They proved that in ‘07 - but what they can do is overcome an average offense, which is the worst-case scenario for this team. I believe the Bears can at least put an average product offensively on the field in ‘ 08!
