As fans, we have always enjoyed it when we are able to get the latest NFL news from our favorite source. I know that I liked it when I first heard early in the day that the Bears were courting Julius Peppers, hours before they signed him, and I heard it from a very reliable NFL source.
Don’t we all like hearing what our favorite team may do before they do ...
The champagne and beer have barely dried on the Stanley Cup and it’s already time to start thinking about a repeat in Chicago.
The Blackhawks have the talent and the youth, for the most part, so you would think that there would be nothing holding them back from repeating as Stanley Cup champs next season.
However, there is one thing that could splinter this team if they aren’t careful: money.
The Blackhawks have ...
The Chicago Blackhawks Win Stanley Cup, Savor the Moment
Posted: 11th June 2010 by Bryan Dietzler in NHL
As a big-time Chicago sports fan, the Blackhawks' victory in the Stanley Cup Finals was a sweet one. It was great to see a team that hasn’t won a championship for decades finally get to the top of the hockey world. My hats off to the Blackhawks, their managers, and their owners.
The city of Chicago has a proud sports history with many sports traditions. We have the Cubs, the darlings ...
If there has been one constant throughout the Stanley Cup Finals for the Chicago Blackhawks, it’s been the play of left winger Dustin Byfuglein. This team does well when Byfuglien is on his game, making plays and making a difference for the Blackhawks game in and game out. So what makes him so special? Let’s take a look at what makes him such a difference maker and what ...
The Bears haven’t had a lot of success at the cornerback position in the last few seasons.
Former Bear Nathan Vasher, once a successful Pro Bowl player, went into a steep decline that ended in his release. Both Zachary Bowman and Charles Tillman are injury prone, and the Bears don’t have any real good depth behind them in case they are out for a long period of time.
Hopefully we don’t find ...
2010 Stanley Cup Finals: Time for Chicago Blackhawks To Seal the Deal
Posted: 7th June 2010 by Bryan Dietzler in NHL
I have to admit, I hadn’t watched a lot of hockey prior to watching the first five games of the Stanley Cup Finals involving the Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers. Being a big Chicago Bears fan and writer, I thought that it would be nice to follow one of the other teams in Chicago and cheer them on to a championship but I got a lot more than I expected ...
The Bears are one of the oldest teams in the league, and after being around so long, they tend to have quite a few players that have played with them and haven’t played up to their billing.
Some of the players that they had have suffered injuries and have never been able to regain the same form that attracted the Bears to them in the first place. Others just came into ...
We are heading into the dead part of the 2010 NFL offseason and teams aren’t doing much right now aside from having the occasional mini camp, enjoying some vacation and trying to come up with new ways to win games in 2010. The team has added some players at critical positions while at others, they are relying on last year’s guys to help them win. Are these the ...
My family and I attended the 2010 Chicago Bears Fan Expo at Soldier Field this past weekend in what has quickly become a regular family tradition. I have never gone to an Expo that I haven’t yet liked, but I felt that this year’s expo would be different since it was going on during the 2010 NFL Draft and the coaching staff and upper management would not be in attendance. ...
The biggest change to come on the team this offseason was the acquisition of former Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers. Peppers should help ignite the pass rush for the Bears and make this unit feared in the eyes of quarterbacks. Yet another big change came when the Bears released long time starter Alex Brown in a move that not only saved them money but opened up the doors for ...
