Mike Martz hasn't always been known as the easiest guy to get along with. It's not necessarily that he's mean, arrogant, or brass.

With allegations that NFL and NBA games are rigged, every MLB player is on steroids, and that 75 percent (or some other made-up percentage) of pro athletes cheat on their wives, the current state of professional sports calls for a little bit of rest and relaxation.

Since I live in the Chicagoland area and have been a Bears fan ever since my mother told me stories about Dick Butkus before bed, I try not to write exclusively about them. As a blogger, it's important to be unbiased and fair, which hopefully is the case whenever you ... Continue Reading

His tenure started with a bang. Down Goes Cutler, in a way, is what should have rang in the ears of NFL fans everywhere.
Of course, you had your Jay Cutler haters, who shrugged off the bold move by new head coach, Josh McDaniels, to challenge the rising superstar quarterback.
Bold? Yes, ... Continue Reading

The 2009 NFL season is over for the Chicago Bears. Both because it's now 2010, and because playoff season has started.
The Bears, at 7-9, will not be taking part, despite once hoping in the off-season that their ambitious trade for Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler would make them a complete ... Continue Reading

We learned a few things in Week 16.
The New Orleans Saints didn't just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, "Who can't?".

Irony, it appears, is not lost in the NFL.

While the top ... Continue Reading
