I’ve noted many times that the NFL Combine is the most overrated event in sports when it comes to gauging talent, yet every year I get caught up in what a guy runs or what a guy jumps or what a guy throws (combine studs that probably went a bit high: JaMarcus Russell, Donte Stallworth, and jus...

Andy Reid is certainly built to survive in cold weather, but unfortunately his Eagles couldn’t make the same claim. Days before the Arizona Cardinals nearly applied a death blow to Steeler Nation, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in conjunction with Coors Light (for when you feel like having a p...

Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to tips@deadspin.com. Subject: Morning crap. The wind chill at Soldier Field last night was -13 degrees. It was the coldest recorded game in Soldier Field history, but that didn't stop the Bears from finishing off Green Bay 2...

It's Tuesday, and I have all the answers ... The game turned with less than 10 minutes to go in the relevant part of the Bears' season, and it was turned by two parts of the Bears' roster that had done almost nothing against the Packers on Monday night: the defensive line and the running game. Until...

It's Monday, and I have all the answers ... Don't choke, Bears. Simple as that. Don't choke Monday night against the Packers. Don't be the Vikings. The Bears got everything they needed over the weekend. They got the Cowboys to stink. They got the Eagles to stink. They got the Buccanneers to stink ag...

Amanda Kaschube at 11:25 a.m. This game could mean everything for the Bears or nothing. They could be in the playoff hunt after a win over the hated-rival Cheeseheads or be eliminated before even taking the field for MNF. Oh the drama. And we're not even in Dallas. Or New York. Or Detroit. The Bears...

The NFL Pro Bowl rosters have been announced, and like every year when these things are announced, there’s already a big uproar of who’s been snubbed and who doesn’t deserve to be there. You can get both the NFC and AFC starting rosters here and figure out who you think got snubbed...

It was a good week, and there’s a lot of questions left as to who will be playoff bound in 2008. Dallas and Tampa Bay have the edge in the NFC, with Atlanta and Philly a game and a game and a half behind, respectively. In the AFC, the Jets, Pats and Dolphins all battle for the East. Indy leads...

Rahula Strohl at 9:23 a.m. No prevailing theme emerged from the Bears' victory Sunday over Jacksonville. Some columnists pick up on the "Congratulations, you beat a bad team" story, others on the "Yes, it was cold, but that's not why the Bears won" story and others still on the &...

Last Week: 9-6 On the Season: 97-89 Locks of the Week: 13-5 Oakland Raiders @ San Diego Chargers (-10): The last time these two teams played, the Chargers defense had six sacks. Coincidentally, that was the last time the Chargers looked like the Chargers. San Diego is done with their playoff run. Bu...
