$22 Million dollars in signing bonus and a 10 year $130 Million dollar contract are part of what Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is giving up after filing a plea agreement admitting his guilt in an illegal dog fighting ring.
Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended the Atlanta Falcons quarterback indefinitely without pay, just hours after Vick [...]

It’s no surprise to those who know me best that I have absolutely no interest in basketball. My German father, disappointed by the absence of soccer (the sport of his youth) in 1950s through 1980s America, had absolutely no interest in pro-sports. Indeed, he found inane the whole concept of a “home team” [...]

Harsh. This is the one printable word that comes to mind when describing the last three quarters of Super Bowl XLI.
The Bears suffered an embarrassing loss to the Indianapolis Colts, 29-17. The only bright spot besides Hester’s historic game opening kickoff return for a touchdown was Thomas Jones. Unfortunately Jones was underutilized in a completely [...]

Biloxi Picks!!!
I’ve been listening to the experts all week as they predicted that the Colts would beat the Bears. Some of them are decisive and others say it is Peyton Manning’s game to lose.
On the other hand, I’m not an expert in football. So my pick is the Bears all the way baby!!!
The Chicago [...]

For those who do not know, the Republic of Biloxi is located solidly within the confines of the people’s Republic of Cook County, IL. I am a Chicago Bears season ticket holder and watch the beloved from my cheap seats at every opportunity. A lot can be said about this year’s edition of one of [...]

As a Bears fan I’d like to thank Reggie Bush for taunting the Bears defense as he ran the ball in on one of the Saints only real play of the entire game. From that point on the D was on a mission to punish the Saints with payback; and punish they did giving up next to nothing for the rest of the game. Do the dance, risk the injury prone flip, but never, ever, point your finger in the face of one of the leagues best defenses while a visitor in their house!

This is a sad day for a die hard Chicago Bears fan such as myself. I just learned that Tank Johnson, one of the team’s stars, is being paid millions of dollars to be a star on the field while stashing illegal weapons at home. Worse, the head coach, Lovie Smith is standing behind his [...]

Let me start off by saying, GO BEARS!
Whew, what an embarrassing show for a Chicago Bears football team that was regarded as the top team going into Monday nights contest. I got that oh oh feeling early. Quite frankly the Bears stunk it up; they stole one right out from under the Cardinals as [...]
