Briggs' mysterious tweets send misguided message on Collins
I don't know Jason Collins. I wish I did. Bravo for the NBA center's courage in becoming the first male athlete in a major North American league to declare he's gay. It’s a shame it’s a big deal. But now it’s less so. On Day 2 of this...

Emery sticking to game plan
Even though the Bears won 10 games last season, they didn't make the playoffs and entered this week's NFL draft with an extensive list of wants and needs. Second-year Bears general manager Phil Emery kept his intentions close to the vest, but moving...

NFL draft preview: Outside linebackers
The outside linebacker class will test teams' philosophies. On the one hand, there is Georgia's Jarvis Jones, who played like a demon but worked out horribly. On the other, there is Missouri's Zaviar Gooden, who was all-pro at the NFL scouting combine,...Tags: American Football Conference, High School Sports, National Football League, NFL Draft, College Baseball

Hey Bears, don't get cute in 1st round of draft
Unable to find the remote control recently in my Brooklyn hotel room between Bulls playoff games, I took it as a sign to educate myself on Thursday's NFL draft by watching a show about the Bears that popped on the television. Well, technically, the TV...

Bears could do worse than Te'o in draft's 1st round
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — After seeing Manti Te'o shave about one-tenth of a second off his 40-yard dash time Tuesday, hearing the linebacker sing down a hallway inside the Guglielmino Athletics Complex confirmed the skip in his step. Relieved, Te'o...Tags: Manti Te'o, D.J. Williams (football, linebacker), Phil McGraw, Ben Leber, National Football League

Bears' idea of respecting Urlacher looks disingenuous, deceitful
It’s not so much that the Chicago Bears parted ways with Brian Urlacher, a surefire Hall of Famer robbed of his greatest asset by injuries. No, it was the sloppy, squirrely, deceitful manner the Bears went about it. It might be too much to say...

Loss will be lamented little
If a career falls in Lake Forest and no one around cares to hear it … Brian Urlacher's extraordinary career with the Bears ended with a resounding whimper Wednesday as an afternoon news release confirmed what long has been expected — that...

Urlacher calls Bears' offer 'insulting'
It didn't have to end this way. Not in Brian Urlacher's eyes. The eight-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker and future Hall of Famer yearned to be a Bear for life. He wanted to walk off Soldier Field on his terms. When the Bears sent out a news release...

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. Martellus Bennett has a chance to be more of a difference-maker at tight end than the Bears have had since Mike Ditka....

New defensive coordinator surprisingly selling continuity
New coaches sell change the way politicians sell hope. It is their snake oil, and they often find desperate customers in their teams' executive offices as well as in the stands of the stadiums they call home. It is what new coaches do because that's...

Rodgers torches Bears' secondary
It didn't take Aaron Rodgers long to notice Tim Jennings wasn't playing. The Packers quarterback went at Jennings' replacement at left cornerback, Kelvin Hayden, and Hayden's replacement at nickel back, D.J. Moore, repeatedly. Neither made a play in...

Bears' forecast suddenly cloudy
There was bright sunshine at Soldier Field on Sunday, as much as we've seen at any game this year. It was considerably darker in the bowels of the stadium in the back room where injured players are laid on tables and poked and prodded, tested, X-rayed...
