Tom Brady has the New England Patriots back in the Super Bowl.
Tom Brady's way of dealing with Tebowmania was to silence it with a record-shattering performance.
An unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, the opportunity to quarterback the Bears couldn't have come at a better time for Caleb Hanie.
When NFL players decertified their union months ago, it was a cosmetic, procedural move to pave the way for antitrust litigation in an attempt to gain leverage against owners bent on grabbing a bigger share of the profits.
Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees said Wednesday "it is time" to wrap up negotiations on a deal to end the league's lockout.
Calling the players' offer "fair for both sides," quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees - plaintiffs in the antitrust suit against the NFL - said Wednesday "it is time" to wrap up negotiations on a deal to end the league's lockout.
NFL players who sued the league for alleged antitrust violations liken the league to a "cartel" in their latest court filing, again urging an appeals court to lift the lockout.
New York Giants co-owner John Mara is warning that the players' strategy in the labor impasse, if successful, would lead to NFL chaos.
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Richard Nelson has combined the the lawsuits that involved current and former NFL players.
Super Bowl XLV kicks off Sunday between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. With nine Super Bowl titles between the two teams, you can bet this will be an intense game.
Tom Brady didn't play his best facing the Jets. He threw away possibly more passes than he had all season. The New York Jets beat the New England Patriots 28-21 and move on to the Steelers next.
The NFL playoffs are heating up and teams are trying to intimidate each other. The NFL doesn't want any of it and has warned players not to go too far.
If I were a New York Jets fan, I wouldn't even bother watching the teams playoff game this weekend against New England at Gillette Stadium.
As the Bears head into a bye week, we couldn't help but share with you some amusing quotes from the NFL season. Who said he was the best but didn't want to say it? What did the Cowboys' adviser have to say about the team's $54,896 dinner? How did Jay Cutler feel about throwing four picks to DeAngelo Hall?
For just the second time in the history of the Chicago Bears a player has gone over 1,000 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving in the same season as Matt Forte did so yesterday.
With the Packers' loss last night to the New England Patriots, the Bears can now clinch the NFC North title, and a spot in the playoffs.
The Bears are ready to play in a frigid day on a hopefully thawed field. The question, however, is are the Vikings? Minnesota hasn't played an outdoor home game since 1981 and the Metrodome's collapsed roof moved the game to TCF Bank Stadium.
TCF Bank Stadium is not meant to be played in during the winter, and Bears' Quarterback Jay Cutler knows this.
The Bears went from playing their best football of the season, to playing their worst game of the season. Despite the 36-7 loss to the Patriots, the Bears can still lock up the division, and a playoff berth, with a win over the Vikings and a Green Bay loss.
How bad was New England's 36-7 defeat of the Bears on Sunday? Figure this; the Patriots were leading 33-0 at halftime while Jay Cutler and Mike Martz could only lead the beloved to 33 yards of total offense in the first half.
Apparently one storm wasn't enough of a beating for the Chicago Bears and their fans on Sunday. Like a great prize fighter, Mother Nature unleashed a vicious one-two combo of blistering winds and steady snowfall upon the unfortunate souls inside Soldier Field.
Eleven years ago, I was sitting in the press box at Michigan Stadium, watching the Wolverines storm to a 27-7 lead over Illinois midway through the third quarter when a kindly, gray-haired U. of M. alum seated in my row leaned in toward me.
Every Bears loss has felt devastating this season. Jay Cutler was nearly sacked to death in New York. You don't lose to Seattle at home. You don't lose to the Redskins at home.
So the Bears are not as good as the Patriots. We probably knew that, at least those of us who expressed pessimism about their chances, even in mythically-advantageous weather.
