Get your minds out of the gutter... ESPN The Magazine just released their "Ultimate Standings" issue, where they ranked every professional sports team by the value of the franchise to it's fans. It's a complicated process, but very interesting. The Bears ranked 69th for 2009, up 12 spots from last year; The Cutler Effect maybe?
After the jump I'll look at all 8 major ranking categories in more detail, and give a couple links to the ESPN piece to help explain their methodology... well go ahead... jump.

First and foremost, a very happy holiday weekend to all of you. Hopefully, you will all be able to pack in as much fun as possible, and remain safe at the same time.
Looking back to this time last year (the time just before training camp), there were 10 things that were the most pressing for the Bears, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Today, they have reviewed the list, and have included their synopsis of whether the Bears effectively addressed all of the top 10 in 2008.
Before you click on the link to see the synopsis, review the top 10 things that the Bears should have addressed last season, and see how many of them will be on this year's list again.

NightLinks: Bears Responsible With Their Money
by GeauxBears
on Jul 2, 2009 3:50 PM CDT

The Chicago Bears have always been known for different things from a financial perspective. On one hand, we have people who say the Bears are tight with their wallet. On the other hand, we have seen time and time again that our own players will get rewarded if they produce on the football field.
Tonight's NightLinks both pertain to the current state of the Bears financial situation, both coming from Bradd Biggs at the Sun Times. The first article talks about "dead space"- money that is tied up in players that are no longer on the roster.

NightLink: How Long Will Lovie Be in Chicago?
by GeauxBears
on Jul 1, 2009 5:35 PM CDT

During this very active Chicago Bears offseason, GM Jerry Angelo has pieced together a successful team on paper. He added weapons on offense, assigned Lovie Smith to call defensive plays, and hired Rod Marinelli to revamp our DLine. We've got the talent to win.
That being said, I am curious as to what you think about Lovie Smith's outlook in Chicago. Of course, today's NFL is constantly referred to as a "What have you done for me lately?" league with its head coaches, and Lovie is probably no different. After all, we heard Angelo say a couple of months ago that the talent is in place, and now it is up to the coaches to make it work.

Top Remaining Free Agents

Chicago Bears GM Jerry Angelo and Head Coach Lovie Smith have consistantly stated that they are always evaluating free agent talent, but the Bears have never been a team to dish out top-tier money for big name free agents. When training camp starts in 30 days, we will get a better feel for where we stand with some of our "question mark" players, and possibly start making moves for free agents, if we are going to.
The following are the top remaining free agents, according to Fox Sports. The article has them listed as a slideshow, so for your convenience, I have listed them out.
