Given history, Smith might be best fit for Bears
The Bears may appear to be going nowhere, but that doesn't mean Lovie Smith is headed anywhere. Smith effectively can seal another contract with a victory over the Packers on Sunday. Beating the Packers is important to Bears ownership, and Smith could...

Lovie Smith out after 9 seasons as Bears coach
The epitaph for Lovie Smith's tenure as head coach of the Bears could read, "He couldn't fix the offense." For all the good things Smith did in his nine years in Chicago, his undoing was his inability to take care of the side of the ball in which he...

Lean, healthy, Bears' Smith in it for long haul

18 holes with ... Joe Buck
After Joe Buck completed a round at the annual celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe a few years back, playing partner Carson Palmer asked him, "How do you not curse on the air?" It's a good thing Fox pays him to call World Series and NFC title games...

In search of 'Jewish Jocks'
Mention the phrase "Jewish sports legends" and you'll probably conjure up familiar suspects: Sandy Koufax, Mark Spitz, maybe that joke from "Airplane." You're more likely to omit Sidney Franklin, a matador from Brooklyn (real last name: Frumpkin), or...Tags: Buzz Bissinger, Judaism, Sidney Franklin, Babe Ruth, Marvin Miller

Hitting Ohio's highways
Ohio had puzzled me. On the map I saw a sprawling state, presumably rich with history. It has the seventh-highest population and big cities — but it had never been suggested to me as a vacation possibility. As a city guy, I was intrigued. I decided...

Some Bears great, but not Hall of Fame worthy
Somewhere between Brian Urlacher pushing Charles Tillman for Defensive Player of the Year and Jon Gruden hailing a group of All-Time Bears currently on the defense, the thought occurred that something important is missing from the franchise. No, not...

Quarterbacks lead with more than talent
I'm trying to figure out Jay Cutler. I really am. I can see the talent, the arm strength and the underrated athleticism Cutler shows with his ability to extend plays outside the pocket. He's physical. He's tough. And there isn't a route in the playbook...
