Bears

The Bears host the Arizona Cardinals in week three of the preseason tonight at Soldier Field. The return of the Cards brings back memories, good and bad for lifelong Chicagoans. The franchise called the Windy City home from 1922 - 1959.

Tony La Russa prepared his team for the MLB postseason with a preseason win over the Bears on Friday night. La Russa, considered one of the best managers in the game using unconventional managing tactics, lead his team to a 23-16 victory.

Dating back to last season, Rex Grossman has now played in 13 straight quarters without an injury—his longest streak since the beginning of the 2004 season. A stretch of game time longer than what his back-up Brian Griese could have ever imagined when he signed his five-year contract in March. It appears Griese is planning to take matters into his own hands.

WGN-TV Meteorologist Tom Skilling thought he was in for the mother of all weather reports when he rushed out of the Weather Center in a panic late Thursday night, thinking severe weather was coming from the West.

Bears fans with Super Bowl hopes were able to take a sigh of relief after Friday night's 24-3 spanking of the Chargers. Unlike the previous preseason game, both the defense and quarterback Rex Grossman actually seemed like they were familiar with the game of football.

The Chicago Bears eagerly wrapped up training camp in Bourbonnais Wednesday, and now the team heads north to prepare for its second preseason game Friday against the San Diego Chargers. Despite visiting Bears fans giving the town of Bourbonnais rave reviews, the players couldn't wait to jump into their cars and head back to Chicago.
