Like they always say, never look a gift neckbeard in the mouth.
Quarterback Kyle Orton became available this week when the Denver Broncos pledged to full-fledged Tebowmania for the remainder of 2011 and waived Orton.
The timing is perfect for the Bears, who have possibly lost starter Jay Cutler for the remainder ...

First thing I thought upon reading that Jay Cutler had signed a two-year extension with the Chicago Bears that inks him through the 2013 season: This situation just became impossibly rich.
Think about it. The Bears traded Kyle Orton, two first round picks and a third-rounder to the Denver Broncos for ...

Trick question:
How do you make Kyle Orton even more awesome?
I know, I know. It doesn't even seem possible. But some techno genius has done it. Or should I say, Tecmo Genius?
That's right. Orton's miracle shoulda-been-an-interception game-winning heave to Brandon Stokley has been reinvented in 8-bit Tecmo Bowl glory.
There are some ...

In today’s Chicago Tribune (wait, people still read newspapers?), David Haugh, who covers the Bears, warns Jay Cutler may be too honest for his own good with the media following Saturday’s disappointing showing against Buffalo.
In an offseason and training camp where the media has done nothing short of a providing ...

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 ...

It was Oct. 5. I remember sitting at my local Buffalo Wild Wings. My head hurt, my stomach churned and my heart ached.
The night earlier, my beloved Chicago Cubs were swept out of the playoffs by the Los Angeles Dodgers. A season that looked destined to break the franchise’s century-long ...

This is the first of two random, subjective quarterback evaluations we have from the same game. Let us begin.
We know how fashionable it's been over the last couple years to dog on whichever quarterback the Bears are trotting out there every Sunday. In fact, it's pretty fun.
Admittedly, it's more fun ...

Yep, we totally agree that mercifully firing Matt Millen was both a long time coming and much needed. But that obviously doesn't change anything that's going on with the Detroit Lions.
That is particularly obvious when you let Bears quarterback Kyle Orton roll you up for 334 yards in the air ...

I never thought I'd title a post with a reference to Dave Matthews (unless it involved something along the lines of literally dumping shit into the Chicago River). Then again, I never figured that Rumors and Rants would turn into some fancy, classy looking operation, which Phillips has single-handedly managed ...

I hope Timbaland is working on a Super Bowl Shuffle remix, because the Chicago Bears have officially entrusted their offense into the hands of one Kyle Raymond Orton. Now the only thing missing is an offensive line, running back and wide receivers. (Fortunately the Bears should have three solid tight ...
