The No Future League or NFL is at it agin, this time throwing the folly of a new collective bargaining agreement back into the faces of Saints players who just 3 months ago were so eager to live under it. WhoDats are livid over the NFL's suspension of...

It took five summers, but there is finally some potentially serious discord in Camp Reid. Feature back Duce Staley did not arrive at the Philadelphia Eagles' training camp at Lehigh University by the 5 p.m. Monday deadline for veterans. Staley, a...

Until this week, the Jacksonville Jaguars and St. Louis Rams both seemed to be hurtling toward the Super Bowl. It's clear now, though, that the Rams really need more defense and the Jaguars more offense. These are two promising teams, but neither is a...

There are three identical reasons for the 1999 achievements of the 11-2 Indianapolis Colts and the 11-2 St. Louis Rams: 3. Because both teams lost so often for so many years, accumulating barrels of draft choices, they've both had so many shots in so...

It was a miserable Sunday at Soldier Field. Penetrating cold, gusting winds, pelting rain turning to sleet. The kind of day that makes football teams look bad. Only in this case, while the Bears were huddled against the elements, slipping, bobbling and...

They come wrapped in different packages each week. Dressed up or dressed down depending on the locale or the stakes involved. They are a big disappointment or a bigger disappointment or, worse yet, as it was Sunday in the Bears' 26-20 loss to Green Bay,...

Considering that both teams had little to play for--the Central Division rivalry angle is wearing paper-thin and the game was a dud--it's tough to imagine a national television audience hanging in with the Bears and Packers on Sunday night. Any of the...

Walking out of Soldier Field Sunday with his team firmly behind him and the certain and continued scrutiny of the Chicago sporting public before him, Dave Wannstedt had to know that at the very least, he has accomplished one thing. The Bears might be the...

Correll Buckhalter likes the view he has of this Philadelphia Eagles training camp much better than the view he had of training camp 2002. This year, he is lining up in the Eagles' backfield and looking for seams and holes to burst through. A year ago,...

Packer fans give no indication when it's over. They don't jeer any louder. And they don't head for the exits. They could have revved up the RV's with six minutes remaining in Green Bay's 28-17 victory over the Bears Sunday, and maybe saved themselves a...
