Sinking in the rain
Tribune staff reporterUnofficially, the 2000 Bears season expired when still another Shane Matthews pass was deflected at the line of scrimmage Sunday, this one on fourth-and-3 with 1 minute 40 seconds remaining. But this was a game and a season that died many deaths. It...Tags: Sports, Curtis Martin, Jim Miller, Paul Edinger, Clyde Simmons

Bears do a little goodwill hunting
Tribune staff reporterThey were not specifically trying to save their coach's job. Nor were they trying to prove anyone wrong, shut anyone up or lay anyone out. They were certainly not attempting to move down in the draft order, but they did not particularly care if they...Tags: Jim Harbaugh, Sports, Peyton Manning, Chicago Bears, National Football League

Over and doubt
Tribune staff reporterFlailing against a backdrop of green and gold, floundering in a sea of uncertainty, the Bears dropped their heads in unison Sunday at Soldier Field, humbled once again by the Green Bay Packers and by circumstances they can no longer control. It was their...Tags: Sports, Brett Favre, Billiards, Snooker and Pool, Keith McKenzie, Chicago Bears

Not too bad for starters
Tribune staff reporterSuccess in NFL exhibition games cannot be judged by conventional criteria. That is, were any key players injured? Did the rookies embarrass themselves? Did coaches learn anything? And, oh, yeah, did the team win? By those standards, the Bears had an...Tags: Jim Miller, Scott Dragos, Chicago Bears, Chris Villarrial, Brent Bartholomew

More pain, no gain
Tribune staff reporterSo much for the quarterback controversy. For that matter, so much for the rest of the season. When Jim Miller tore his left Achilles' tendon Sunday afternoon in the second quarter of Buffalo's 20-3 victory over the Bears, it simplified one potential...Tags: Sports, Jim Miller, Chicago Bears, Bryan Robinson, James Williams

Golden in the dome
Tribune staff reporterThe teams were a study in contrast, both on and off the field Sunday in the Bears' 13-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The usually demonstrative Vikings were morose as they trudged up the hallway of the Metrodome to their locker room. They had...Tags: Sports, Jim Miller, Leon Johnson, Paul Edinger, Randy Moss

Your table is ready
Tribune staff reporterAside from Paul Edinger and R.W. McQuarters assuring themselves a standing reservation in any of St. Louis' finest restaurants and at least one kitchen table, it's impossible to determine immediately the effect of the Bears' season-ending victory over...Tags: Sports, Paul Edinger, Chicago Bears, National Football League, Bryan Robinson

No sweat for Brett
Tribune staff reporterConsidering that both teams had little to play for--the Central Division rivalry angle is wearing paper-thin and the game was a dud--it's tough to imagine a national television audience hanging in with the Bears and Packers on Sunday night. Any of the...Tags: Antonio Freeman, Chicago Bears, Mike Brown (ice hockey), Basketball, Dorsey Levens

34 . . . say no more
Tribune staff reporterIt wasn't just the way it happened or how it happened or where it happened. It was all of it. Beating the Packers. Winning one for Walter. Handing their most despised rivals their second humiliating loss in less than a week. It was so much to...Tags: Jim Miller, Glyn Milburn, Chicago Bears, Ryan Longwell, Liver Cancer

Losing streak, tension snapped
Tribune staff reporterThe shaving cream said it all. As wide receiver Eddie Kennison stood surrounded by microphones and cameras in the Bears' locker room, teammate Marcus Robinson crept around behind him and gave him an entire face full of shaving cream. The Bears had not...Tags: Blake Brockermeyer, Sports, Multi-Sport Events, Brett Favre, Paul Edinger

No points=low point
Tribune staff reporterThe 0-2 start is not the shocking part. An 0-2 start was considered, discussed, even justified in advance. Two road games against tough division opponents. Tampa in high humidity. Yep, an 0-2 start, under certain circumstances, was understandable, maybe...Tags: Sports, Ronde Barber, Mike Alstott, Chicago Bears, Chris Villarrial

Bears insist they're better
Tribune staff reporterThe mood was the same on both sides of the ball Friday night. Offensive coordinator Gary Crowton was adamant and so was defensive coordinator Greg Blache: The Bears are better at this point than they were this time a year ago, after four exhibition...Tags: Multi-Sport Events, Chicago Bears, Chris Villarrial, John Elway, Jim Kelly
