Hugh Douglas collects comic books featuring the Incredible Hulk. Which is appropriate because if the big green guy played football, he would likely collect sacks the way Douglas does from his defensive end spot. On Sunday, Douglas, who at 6 feet 2 inches...

As the Bears' quarterback situation settled into form for opening day, the exhibition season finished in disturbing fashion--beyond losing a late lead in a 24-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night. The Bears gave up a touchdown on offense...

Face down and motionless, Kordell Stewart just lay there at the 5-yard line of a Lambeau Field that delivered the coldest of realities to the Bears during Sunday's 34-21 loss to the Packers. Stewart lay so still for so long that two Bears teammates...

A look at how each player on the 2003 roster came to be a Bear. Thirty-two of the 53 players on the active roster (60.4%) were either draftees of the Bears or undrafted free agents signed with the Bears. Only one player (R.W. McQuarters) was acquired via...

Good thing for the Bears that cornerback R.W. McQuarters' memory is shorter than his hair. The last time McQuarters tried stopping the opponent's elite wide receiver while trying to protect a fourth-quarter lead at Soldier Field, two weeks ago Sunday...

It's New Orleans this week. Home of paper-bag-wearing fans, the Neville and Marsalis clans, crawfish Po' Boys, Girls Gone Wild and Super Bowl XX. Bears 46, Patriots 10. Grab your beignets and café au lait. Aiee! This game's in Champaign, I'm told....

The lessons of preseason are sometimes suspect and inconclusive, but the first half of Saturday night's exhibition opener against the Cincinnati Bengals was precisely the way the Bears want to play. The Bears prevailed 16-13 in overtime, but more than...

What's up with the change to Leon Johnson on passing downs? Can Thomas not pass block, or is there something else going on? --Brad Marsh, Santa Rosa, Calif. As I outline in my Tuesday story, a lot is going on, even though the Bears aren't calling Thomas'...

Marty Booker was limited to one catch Sunday, his fewest since the third game of last season, as the Lions were determined to make someone else in the Bears' receiver corps beat them. Booker made the one count for a 14-yard touchdown just before...

The Bears saw something they wanted very much to see, the big play.. They also saw something that should concern them, the running game, in their 27-24 exhibition loss to the Tennessee Titans in front of a crowd of 68,768 in Adelphia Coliseum. Coach Dick...

Q The Bears are not going anywhere with Jim Miller at quarterback. Even when they were 13-3 last season, it was clear teams such as the Eagles with Donovan McNabb and the Packers with Brett Favre had a distinct advantage. When will the Bears wise up and...
