Thoughts From NFL Week 12: Chicago Bears and beyond

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Nov 28, 2011 3:27 PM EST on Windy City Gridiron

The next time the Harbaugh brothers coach against each other I think a drinking game is in order. Every single mention of the siblings and it's time to chug a beer. Any mention of their father calls for a shot. From my understanding there were plenty of such mentions during the Thursday Night...

Bears should extend Lovie Smith: Who'd you rather have?

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Jan 28, 2011 10:01 AM EST on Windy City Gridiron

I'll reiterate the opening from my earlier post (as seen here). If the only argument you have in regards to Lovie Smith is he has no fire on the sideline then don't even bother. Unless someone can show me a correlation between being animated on the sideline or in front of the press room podium...

Thoughts From NFL Week 9: Chicago Bears and Beyond

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Nov 8, 2010 4:00 PM EST on Windy City Gridiron

Another Sunday with not much live football watched. There's nothing worse than DVRing the Bears game only to find out the results before I get a chance to sit down and watch it. Actually... finding out they won is way better than finding out they lost. Knowing they lost and sitting through a...

by David Fucillo on Oct 6, 2010 10:00 PM EDT on Niners Nation

The 49ers and Eagles released their Wednesday practice participation reports. We've discussed plenty about LeSean McCoy and Michael Vick, but we have another intriguing name not practice for the Eagles today: CB Asante Samuel. Samuel is a very solid cornerback and if the Eagles are missing him on...

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Mar 2, 2010 11:00 AM EST on Windy City Gridiron

In part two (click here for part one) of this spotlight series looking at the Chicago Bears coaches and front office personnel, I was fortunate enough to draw Dave Toub. This is the part of my opening paragraph where I go with the "Toub is arguably the most popular coach the Bears have...

by JasonB on Jan 30, 2010 11:02 AM EST

Howie Roseman was officially introduced as the Eagles new general manager yesterday and met the media for the first time in his career. Although he's been in the Eagles organization for 11 years, yesterday was really his introduction to the fans. I thought he came off as generally a youthful,...

49ers-Eagles Wednesday Injury Report

by David Fucillo on Dec 16, 2009 7:00 PM EST on Niners Nation

The 49ers actually gave the team an extra day off this week and did not practice today. The schedule is thrown a bit out of whack due to the Monday Night game, but part of the reason for the day off is the team is a bit banged up following the victory. Even though the 49ers didn't practice, they...
