Photo-caption Extravaganza: Jay Cutler and Shane Day

FILE - In this Oct. 24, 2010 file photo, Chicago Bears quarterbacks coach Shane Day, left, talks to starting quarterback Jay Cutler...

I don't know why this photo screamed out to me to make a Photo-caption Extravaganza post, but it did. And now it's yours to play with. That's former Bears QB coach Shane Day on the left, just in case you missed the actual caption. And if I have to tell you who #6 is, then go away.

Be sure to rec your favorites and the comment that has the most will receive either one sarcastic comment from Kev or one smash from his Ban Hammer.

Beating a Dead Horse: A Rebuttle to Telander's Article

If by not having "it" Rick Telander also means rugged good lucks, he's wrong about that too. Wait, what? Just that he can't win a Super Bowl? Oh, yeah totally what I was going for...

Who am I to say that Rick Telander is a bad writer? The guy has written a few books, worked for Sports Illustrated and is generally considered a good sports writer. In college I had to read his book Heaven is a Playground for a sports history class I took and I will say I didn't much care for it. Anyway, that's kind of besides the point. What I am trying to say is Rick Telander might be a great sportswriter but his January 24 article about Jay Cutler not having "it" is dead wrong.

The Mike Tice Promotion is Doomed to Fail

"No, seriously guys, Marcus Harrison's butt was this big."

That's right, I said doomed. But before you furiously type out some rant-like rebuttal in the comments section, read through my reasoning behind this. And no, it has nothing to do with me disliking Tice as the Bears' offensive coordinator. To err is human; to jump, divine.

SI: NFL's Top Unrestricted Free Agents

Photo

The Chicago Bears will be players in free agency this off season. With a team one year removed from the NFC Championship game, and coming off an injury fueled disappointing 8-8 season (after a 7-3 start), they believe the window is still open. The Bears better be lining up on someones doorstep come March 13th with an offer in hand for one of the top guys available. Check out the free agent photo gallery from Sports Illustrated and tell us who you think would be a good fit in the navy and orange.

Folks Should not Be That Impressed With Tice's Recent Comments

(AP Photo/Charles Cherney)


The things he's had to say about the offense are nice, but all he's really doing is speaking common sense.


Have we really come to this, Bears fans?

Just a few short weeks after being promoted to the offensive coordinator position, and narrowly missing the opportunity to interview for someone else's Head Coach position, Mike Tice is already being very outspoken about how he intends to run his offense.

The only problem is that the things he's saying aren't earth-shattering...they're just common sense.

2012 Chicago Bears Roster Turnover: Tight End

Photo

The notion of the tight end as nothing more than a glorified offensive lineman has retired along with former Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz. While there's still a place for the blocking TE in the NFL and in Chicago, the Bears will actually want to find a TE that can catch the ball. Could that guy be on the roster in the athletic Kellen Davis? Will he even be on the roster in 2012? With the help of the grading system from Pro Football Focus we'll take an in depth look at the TE position with an eye towards 2012.
