So ESPN talks on and on (and on and on and on) about Terrell Owens returning to Philly and make no mention of how Bears fans will react when Daimon Shelton lines up in a Bills uniform at Soldier Field. Who ever could have seen him in anything but Bears...

A lovely Chicago fall afternoon welcomes the Cardinals back to Chicago. Since they left in 1959 not much has happened with the franchise. They moved to St. Louis and St. Louis eventually traded them in for the Rams and a Super Bowl. Perhaps this old-...

Face down and motionless, Kordell Stewart just lay there at the 5-yard line of a Lambeau Field that delivered the coldest of realities to the Bears during Sunday's 34-21 loss to the Packers. Stewart lay so still for so long that two Bears teammates...

Up in the air it hung—the ball and possibly Dick Jauron's future. Jauron later said he didn't think anybody had an idea how good a kick Paul Edinger's game-winning 45-yard field goal into the teeth of a 22-m.p.h. wind Sunday at Soldier Field really was....

On the Bears' trip south along Interstate 57 from Bourbonnais to Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, an Illinois state trooper pulled over the team's three buses. Seems the buses were spending too much time in the left lane. It wouldn't be the last...

Heat lightning lit up the desert sky Friday night in the fourth quarter of the Bears' 27-17 exhibition loss to the Arizona Cardinals at Sun Devil Stadium. Unless the Bears caught some of that lightning in a bottle, they returned to Halas Hall for practice...

Playing the perfect Homecoming game guests, the Bears did everything Sunday but blow up balloons and serve the punch. They allowed the second-worst defense in the league to celebrate its most suffocating performance in years. They facilitated the...

It was not an artistic success. But it was a success just the same and as far as the Bears are concerned, that's enough for right now. They made more mistakes than quality plays at several critical points Sunday yet escaped with a 14-13 win over the...

The 2002 injury nightmare worsened for the Bears on Sunday. Already without their best pass-rushing defensive lineman, they lost their best run-stopper when Pro Bowl tackle Ted Washington went out after turning his left ankle early in the second quarter....

One victory like this and they're getting away with something. Two of the kind the Bears are putting together and you wonder if it's the mark of a good team. One more and it becomes their trademark: "We have no idea how we keep winning, we just do."...

Walking slowly off the field Sunday at 3Com Park after the Bears' humbling 49-7 loss to the 49ers, Brian Urlacher seldom looked up and never removed his helmet. His team didn't show up during the game, and Urlacher felt ashamed to show his face after it....

A look at how each player on the 2003 roster came to be a Bear. Thirty-two of the 53 players on the active roster (60.4%) were either draftees of the Bears or undrafted free agents signed with the Bears. Only one player (R.W. McQuarters) was acquired via...
