No Bears quarterback has averaged 200 yards per game since Erik Kramer in 1997 (There’s no shame in having to Google Kramer). But Jay Cutler has averaged at least 200 ypg in each of his first three seasons, so it’s no surprise that he’s being treated in Chicago like the football messiah (not to be [...]

If you were a Chicago Bears fan, and you were stuck away from home on game day, how much would you pay to watch Kyle Orton overthrow receivers on 3rd-and-8? Maybe you would pay five dollars, or even ten. But how about $28,067.31? That’s exactly how much the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES says one lucky fan was [...]

If there was ever a time to start considering some minimum standards for teams to make the playoffs, it’s right now. With the potential for both the Chargers and the Cardinals to make the playoffs – and have a home game! – with 8-8 records should be enough to make any football fan cringe. Has [...]

• Gator Nation gasps as Urban Meyer still has his eyes on the Irish job.

• Cole Hamels gets all choked up when talking about the New York Mets.
• Pimpin’ ain’t easy – especially when you’re trying to blackmail Al Unser, Jr.
• It’s hard to tell which is more frightening to look at – “Forest Faces”, [...]

Hey there, readers. Before you head off for that great glorious weekend, why not make an attempt at today’s SbB Clever Caption Contest?
For Friday, we’re featuring a couple of Purdue alums catching up on old times – the Bears’ Kyle Orton & the Saints’ Drew Brees:

What would these ol’ Boilermaker QBs be yakking it up [...]

I knew that Manu Ginobili’s injury would lead to a few more scoring opportunities for Tony Parker this year. But I don’t think anyone thought he’d be putting up 55, even if it was on the T-Wolves. The Spurs needed all of those points too, as they struggled to get by Minnesota 129-125 in double [...]

Have you voted yet? Why haven’t you voted yet? Why do you hate democracy so much? You know who loves democracy and elections? Chris Berman. That’s why we had Barack “And A Hard Place” Obama and John “Raising” McCain being interviewed by The Swami at halftime of Monday Night Football, answering the hard-hitting questions on [...]

You know, as a Chicagoan and a White Sox fan, I’ve always found it rather funny that some Cubs fans think their team is cursed instead of admitting they just haven’t been that good for 100 years.  This morning I’m wondering if those Cubs fans may be on to something.   It would seem that the [...]

If you’re looking for beer, its quantities are not limited but its availability is going away fast. The Milwaukee Brewers are out of the playoffs, eliminating all teams with alcoholic-related mascots from the playoffs. Chicago Cubs fans’ privileges to drink after the 7th inning of games is gone because, well, there are no more 7th [...]

We’re not suggesting a certain desperation in the Chicago papers to find a positive spin on the 2008 Chicago Bears in lieu of skill, athleticism, and a clear plan for the future. Or, you know, any spin. We’re flat-out declaring said desperation.
Frankly, we can relate; we haven’t seen such a pathetic competition for [...]
