Poll of the Day: What position do you want the Bears to draft?
Last year the Chicago Bears were fortunate to have Wisconsin's Gabe Carimi fall to them in the draft. Offensive tackle was a need position and Carimi was a top prospect on the board. It worked out for them that a player so high on their draft board just happened to fill a need. This season the...
Smart Or Not? A Junior's Decision w/ Tiree Eure, TE, Minnesota
Tiree Eure and his siblings were raised by their Mother in Plainfield, New Jersey, where Tiree could only dream of one day playing in the NFL. Eure a 6’6, 265 pound Tight End was in tremendous shape and had done a tremendous job at marketing his name. After a good junior year, the sure handed...
Boston College Daily Links: Kuechly, Fletcher And The 2012 NFL Draft

NFL Offseason Dates to Remember
Well, the Super Bowl is finished, and while the Bears weren't participating, at least neither were those cheeselovers up north (or those Clint Eastwood-backed, Eminem-loving, car-making up and comers from Detroit). So begins another offseason, full of hope and optimism - especially now that Jerry...
