  1. Te'o will be solid draft pick

    Two weeks from today, the water cooler is going to be enormously popular in work places all over the Chicago area. That's where Bears fans will convene to debate general manager Phil Emery's second crack at the first round of the NFL draft.

  2. Hawks didn't need to make moves

    If Stan Bowman spent Wednesday on the golf course instead of on the telephone, all I can say is I hope he broke 90.
    If Stan Bowman spent Wednesday on the golf course instead of on the telephone, all I can say is I hope he broke 90. There wasn't any reason for the Blackhawks general manager to make a move as the NHL's trade deadline approached. The Hawks are as...

  3. Emery needs to strengthen Bears offensive line

    Greed is unattractive, but what kind of poker player walks away from the table when the dealer keeps throwing him hot cards?
    Greed is unattractive, but what kind of poker player walks away from the table when the dealer keeps throwing him hot cards? I got my wish when the Bears closed the book on Brian Urlacher's career here. As a bonus, Urlacher whined like a jilted...

  4. Bears best move is the one they didn't make

    Even the most pessimistic types have to tip the cap to the Bears for the big splash they made as free-agency season opened this week.
    Even the most pessimistic types have to tip the cap to the Bears for the big splash they made as free-agency season opened this week. Martellus Bennett has a chance to be more of a difference-maker at tight end than the Bears have had since Mike Ditka....

  5. Super Bowl Sunday is time to take chances

    How many times have you returned from Las Vegas with more money than when you left?
    How many times have you returned from Las Vegas with more money than when you left? I didn't think so. It seems so un-American to head home with "house money" in your pocket. On the heels of the elusive prosperous season of NFL investing, I'm in a go-...

  6. Words won't win it for Bears

    Marc Trestman was a smash at his introductory news conference Thursday in Lake Forest. The Bears new head coach definitively answered "yes" to the qualities Phil Emery suggested were requisite for the job when the Bears general manager outlined his blueprint on New Year's Day.

  7. Smith future remains mystery

    In less than three weeks, there will be answers to all the questions being debated around water coolers from Milwaukee to Merrillville.
    In less than three weeks, there will be answers to all the questions being debated around water coolers from Milwaukee to Merrillville. Many words have been devoted to Lovie Smith's future and the power structure in Lake Forest since the Bears tumbled...

  8. Show Emery some patience

    Be it positive or negative — and I expect more of the latter — there will be a handful of over-the-top reactions to Phil Emery's choice as the Bears new head coach once the GM finally pulls the trigger.

  9. Smith's dismissal renews hope

    With each New Year there arrives the chance to clear the slate and begin anew. I was delighted the Bears did that Monday when they showed Lovie Smith the door. It made for a more celebratory Rockin' Bears New Year's Eve than the Fog Bowl victory over the...

  10. Urlacher party is over

    In the early 1970s, the older kids in my neighborhood wore Dick Butkus "51" jerseys. I had to go to NFL Films to learn what all the fuss was about. The only Butkus I saw was the broken-down linebacker in his final two years.

  11. 'Slap Shot' screening cures hockey blues

    The prospect of a winter without pucks draws closer to reality as each day concludes without movement in the NHL's labor dispute.
    The prospect of a winter without pucks draws closer to reality as each day concludes without movement in the NHL's labor dispute. Enthusiasts of the most electric spectator sport in the world gradually have moved away from disgust and anger to a feeling...

  12. Bears have earned 2nd-half spiral

    The big-picture stuff going on in Lake Forest is juicier than it has been in years. To my delight, that's not going to change for many weeks.
    The big-picture stuff going on in Lake Forest is juicier than it has been in years. To my delight, that's not going to change for many weeks. Who coaches the Bears in 2013 is a much more meaningful, more layered conversation than if Lovie Smith's...
