The Year of the Wildcat
Football is so weird with its fads. Right now the new thing for everyone to talk about is 'the Wildcat' offense. I understand 'the Wildcat' is simply a direct snap to the running back and has been around for a while at all levels of football. But I never remember 'the Wildcat' being used or talked about so much in the NFL.

Solving Bears Myths
I love Mondays because after a busy sports weekend, Monday is the perfect day to either interact with your favorite sports talk show or sit back and listen to the panic in the streets. I was thoroughly entertained by listening to Bears fans yelling about their favorite team losing to the Vikings.

Bear-ly Hanging On
Hard to believe a 6-6 team pounded in its last two divisional games is still in the playoff hunt. Such is life in the brutal NFC North. Good for the Bears. Bad for people hoping to actually watch good football. Sunday night's loss to the Vikings in Minnesota doesn't end the Bears' season. The game was more important for Minnesota.
