Oh, the quarterback carousel in Chicago just doesn’t seem to want to quit.
Just months after being anointed The Bearded Savior, Kyle Orton is looking over his shoulder.
Orton didn’t have an awful season. He threw for 2,972 yards and 18 touchdowns, but after a midseason ankle injury he wasn’t the ...

After what was arguably the most interesting final Sunday in NFL history -- The Big Lead at least had a premonition of this awesomeness, but it played out far wackier than any of us could have anticipated -- and a fairly decent Wild Card weekend, we're down the final eight playoff contestants. ...
