On a mild, but damp Christmas Eve day in 2000, our team bus rolled through the streets of New Orleans. The city that was alive the night before was quiet as we pulled up to the Louisiana Superdome. After a 6-0 start with the best offense I ever have...

If last Monday night's game won Kyle Boller respect, last night's impeccable performance might have won him a starting quarterback job for next season. With touchdowns coming from his strong right arm at an unstoppable rate, Boller carried the Ravens...

For the third consecutive game, the Rush fell behind early and was forced to play catch-up the rest of the way. Former Rush quarterback Raymond Philyaw passed for five touchdowns Saturday night as the Cleveland Gladiators beat the Rush 65-44 at Quicken...

Chris Greisen threw six touchdown passes to help the Georgia Force clinch a playoff spot and capture the Southern Division title with a 50-47 victory over the Rush on Saturday night. Russ Michna threw five touchdown passes and ran for a score for the...

Thomas Jones got his 1,300 yards. The defense failed to get its franchise record or even hold its No. 1 ranking for yards allowed. And offensive lineman Lennie Friedman took snaps at defensive tackle. That's all you need to know about the Bears' 34-10...

Before Bears quarterback Kordell Stewart jogged off Invesco Field on Sunday after the Bears' 19-10 victory over the Broncos, he acknowledged the adulation above him with his patented toothy smile. That's the one Stewart brought to Chicago and hadn't...

The Bears' quarterback competition began in earnest in the second half of Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, with Jim Miller replacing starter Shane Matthews while the rest of the No. 1 offense remained on the field. Where the competition...

Whom to blame now? When Bears quarterback Cade McNown left Sunday's game with a separated throwing shoulder after being tackled on the sideline two minutes into the second quarter, conventional wisdom had it that an injection of Jim Miller would be...

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...
