So now Kristin Cavallari knows what it feels like to get blindsided. Any discussions with former fiancee Jay Cutler probably wouldn’t have prepared her for being cast adrift on Tuesday night’s “Dancing With the Stars.” On the bright side, the Chicago Bears quarterback can focus on next Monday night for football (they play the Detroit […]
Now that the NFL apparently has gone with its youth movement for Super Bowl halftime entertainment — well, Madonna is younger than Paul McCartney — the first thought is: Guess the league had trouble finding Judy Collins, Carole King and/or Carly Simon (favorites from decades past). SB Nation reported Monday the pop star will be […]
It’s Sunday, and you know what that means. Other than you’re up too early after a late night Saturday. Oh, well. It could be worse. There are the baseball playoffs, which for some of us is about as good as it gets. And then there are the NFL games, which for some of us is […]
There is no question that Danielle Moinet is out of this world. Perhaps a more down-to-earth assessment is she’s out of this country. Close enough. You get the picture (and for those wondering why the photo of her on the front page has her head cropped off, the reason is something in the computer does […]
Walter Payton was not a perfect human being. That might come as a surprise to some people. After all, those who worship at the altar of the Chicago Bears — OK, at the altar of any sports franchise, celebrity, etc. — tend to deify those whom we might admire for their specialty. It could be […]

Any cupcakes on the Chicago Bears’ schedule? They’ve already played Atlanta, New Orleans and Green Bay, so things could be worse than the 1-2 record. As for cupcakes that are considerably easier to digest? Linebacker Lance Briggs should be able to see some coming. The food — not football — variety. He is scheduled to […]
As Social Media Week ends ever so gently around the world, organizers for the 2012 version might want to contact Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor. He is not a big proponent of social media in the workplace. More specifically, in a players-only meeting after last week’s loss to the Houston Texans. “It’s crazy the […]
You want a sure thing in the NFL? There are no sure things. And that’s just the way the NFL likes it. That mindset maintains interest. It coincidentally also has oddsmakers staying on top of NFL games as well as their own, as they adjust to performances. Not that the NFL and gambling ever would […]
Carolina Panther rookie Cam Newton and New England Patriots veteran Tom Brady are the first NFL quarterbacks to pass for 400 yards or more in consecutive contests. They did so in the first two weeks of this season. In that Week 3’s games are rapidly approaching, that means they could become the first NFL QBs […]
