Lessons for the Chicago Bears from Super Bowl XLVI
I really hope the Chicago Bears organization watched the Super Bowl closely. The bar is now set for what this organization needs to do in order to win a Lombardi Trophy. There’s a talent gap on the Bears in essential positions. For those of us that watch this team week in and week out, yesterday’s [...]
TweetThe Peter Principle…Welcome to the Chicago Bears
In my last blog (click here), I made mention of the Peter Principle. To refresh your memories, it was written by Dr. Lawrence J. Peter and Raymond Hull in 1969 in a book that shares that title. On top of many other things, it is famous for noting that in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise [...]
TweetMore Reaction to New Chicago Bears General Manager Phil Emery
As angry as I was when I heard the new on Saturday about Phil Emery becoming the Chicago Bears General Manager, I’m even more fired up today. This was a typical move out of Halas Hall to find someone on the cheap. I had such high hopes for George McCaskey and Ted Phillips, and instead [...]
TweetChicago Bears Hire Phil Emery as General Manager…From Bad to Worse
In a move that makes me want to cancel my season tickets and become a monk, the Chicago Bears embraced bad football by hiring Kansas City Director of College Scouting Phil Emery to replace Jerry Angelo as General Manager. It’s perhaps the darkest day in franchise history. Who the hell left Ted Phillips in charge [...]
TweetSix Random Thoughts on the Chicago Bears GM Search…
1. Why the hell is Tim Ruskell not been totally eliminated from the GM conversation? It’s sweet that the Chicago Bears gave him an interview, but he should be officially out of the picture. His track record in Seattle makes Jerry Angelo look like Ted Thompson of the Packers on draft day. Just because the [...]
TweetJoe Paterno Has Died
College football has lost its most legendary coach today when former Penn State coach Joe Paterno died of complications from lung cancer. He was 85 years old. Very few of us sports fans could have seen Paterno’s coaching career be scared by the allegations of sexual abuse against several young men by long-time assistant coach [...]
TweetPhil Emery Reported Frontrunner for Chicago Bears GM Position
Multiple reports and sources are pointing to Phil Emery bing the Chicago Bears top choice to replace former General Manager Jerry Angelo. Emery is currently the Kansas City Chiefs Director of College Scouting and worked for the Chicago Bears as an area scout from 1998-2004. This seems to be a disaster waiting to happen. If [...]
TweetWhat Five Questions Would I Ask the Chicago Bears GM Candidate…
The Chicago Bears have been interviewing candidates all week for their vacant position. To this point, they’ve interviewed or are planning on interviewing Tim Ruskell (Director of Player Personnel with the Bears), Jason Licht (Patriots Director of Player Personnel), Jimmy Raye (Chargers Director of Player Personnel), Phil Emory (Chiefs Director of College Scouting) and Chicago [...]
TweetTen Random Thoughts on the Chicago Bears & NFL Playoffs
1. I know what you’re thinking…Chicago Bear Jew, will you please stop patting yourself on the back for your New York Giants prediction? But, it doesn’t get old when you’re so darn right about something. Especially when that thing you’re right about defeats your biggest rival in the Green Bay Packers. Many of you have [...]
TweetFootball Double Check…Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers go down as the worst 15-1 team in NFL history. If it wasn’t for the help of two of the worst calls in the modern era by the officials, the Packers would only have scored six points. Packers fans can call this team a dynasty, I call it a team with [...]
