Chicago Bears


After going 7-9, the Bears' brass fired the coaches....

And now we await for a new system. They keep talking about an offensive minded coach. I know most fans are looking for a coach that can put a superior staff together for all phases of the team, not just offense. In fact, Chicago fans want a MONSTER defense back, like Tennessee and Baltimore. The year 2003 was a typical Chicago sports year. One of the teams finds some success, but cannot reach the pinnacle of success because of errors. The Bulls and Blackhawks are awful. The Cubs gave us hope. The White Sox imploded and they are still imploding since hiring a new manager (who has never managed before). The Bears were being laughed at during the beginning of the season. They had remote chances to make a miracle happen by beating Green Bay. Obviously, that game was not even close. Ironically, the Packers found a miracle in making the playoffs this year. You know how? They won when they had to (EVEN after losing to Detroit on Thanksgiving).

So, what's next besides the draft? Another rebuilding year I gather. The owners got their wish of major bucks with a rebuilt stadium, but have NO desire to commit to winning for the fans (gee whiz, you create a winning team in Chicago, you make MORE money; go figure!)

Go Chicago Rush (of the AFL)! At least no one named McCaskey or Jerry owns you (yet).

By the way, thank you very much, Jerry Krause (and Jerry Reinsdorf) for destroying the Bulls' dynasty. What was the goal? To re-build your OWN dynasty? You did. One of the most losing-est teams ever over the past 5+ years. Oh, I almost forgot that Reinsdorf also owns the White Sox. What have they done in years? The Oakland Raiders of Baseball.

Lions versus Bears


Who is going to win?

How do the Bears keep management in their high paying positions? Ever since Dave Wannstandt was the Bears coach, we have had ONE fluke year. Now, I think Dick Jauron is a fine football coach, but not a good head coach. The people he has picked around him are not all ready for prime time. I mean, tell me what respect does John Schoop have around the league? He is the youngest offensive coordinator in the league, BY FAR! We have many dang good players that are under utilized. The we pay BIG bucks to players that cannot play well (i.e. SLASH).

Right now, Northwestern could beat the Bears! Northern Illinois would embarrass them.

Every week, I watch the Bears just disheartened and demoralized. There is no leadership. Brian Urlacher is an INCREDIBLE talent learning his position. He is having an awful year. His head is not the same and he is getting caught up into the limelight screwing up his family life. Losing is bad, but the way the Bears are losing, it is worse than the Cubs in the 5th, 6th, and 7th games of the NLCS.

Hey! Hire Jerry Krause; can things get any worse???

Lions by 3.
