NFL draft preview: Offensive tackles

2013-04-13 14:14:00

This class looks pretty enticing to a tackle-needy NFL. Three tackles figure to be top 10 picks. The talent drops off a little after that, but a number of others have enough ability to be starters pretty quickly. As many as a dozen tackles could be chosen...

Reader Q&A: Bears mailbag

2013-04-15 14:58:00

Who's the best edge rusher in the draft? RaiderNation4Life, from Twitter It’s Georgia’s Jarvis Jones. Forget about his slow 40 time. He has the burst to defeat a blocker, and he can close on the quarterback. He fits better in a 3-4 as an...

Another obscure draft pick for Bears GM

2013-04-26 00:00:00

Dressed comfortably for a long Thursday night in blue jeans and a Bears jacket, team Chairman George McCaskey entered Halas Hall and promptly placed a stack of 2013 pocket schedules on the receptionist's desk. How misleading. Nothing else the Bears...

Free agent left tackles could entice Bears

2013-02-20 16:26:00

INDIANAPOLIS — The left tackles will be on parade here at the NFL scouting combine like beauty pageant contestants on a runway through Tuesday. Lumpy, hairy, 4-XL contestants, that is. The draft prospects will go through the drills, interview...

Bears show willingness to pounce on free agents

2013-03-19 21:08:00

PHOENIX — Perhaps they should rename them the Chicago Vultures. Somewhere along the way, the Bears have become scavengers, sustaining themselves on what other teams have left behind. If you had to project the Bears' 2013 starting lineup in...

'Perfect storm' carried Bushrod to Bears

2013-03-13 19:08:00

Jermon Bushrods don't just happen. Jermon Bushrods hardly ever are available in free agency. Jermon Bushrods rarely are available in the draft after the first handful of picks. So when Jermon Bushrod falls from the sky in March, and your starting...

Pasadena area baseball teams ready for transition year

2013-03-02 18:51:00

Whether the turnover was high or a local team is returning a solid core, it appears that term transition was in the vocabulary of the Pasadena area’s 10 baseball squads as the season began. Of those squads, San Marino High finished third in the Rio...

Wichita State Baseball rolls Oral Roberts

3 reasons game 3 is a must-watch

2012-08-24 00:00:00

If you're passing on Friday night's Bears-Giants game, I don't blame you. Summer is evaporating and it makes sense to enjoy these final weekends before the leaves change colors. For the Bears, however, this glorified scrimmage is the biggest day since...

Chris Williams was the Bears' 14th overall pick in the 2008 draft after the big fella was a 2007 first-team All-SEC lineman, allowing just one sack in 12 games at Vanderbilt. Things went a little differently in Chicago.

2013-06-10 00:00:00

Original pick: Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt New pick: Matt Forte, RB, Tulane The Bears drafted Forte (above) in the second round of this draft. A dual threat out of the backfield, Forte has gone to one Pro Bowl and played well enough to earn a sizable payday from the Bears last

. Angelo had his ups and downs but a series of bad drafts put the club in a position where it has had to pay big in free agency.
