We at The Heckler have one mission: To bring Sports Illustrated to its knees.

Contract negotiations between Lance Briggs and the Bears broke down this week as they continue to work on terms of a long-term contract. While the two sides have agreed in principle on the signing bonus, salary and contract length, one roadblock remains: women.

After a pair of convincing victories this weekend, the Chicago Bulls have decided that enough is enough.

2006 was not kind to the Chicago Blackhawks as a whole. And it seemed fitting that the team finished the year off with two losses.

With thoughts of bringing in 2007 with a bang, Bears back-up quarterbacks Brian Griese and Kyle Orton loaded the Bears locker room with champagne and party favors. A New Years bash before whopping the rival Green Bay Packers was a perfect way to end a successful 2006 season but, of course, the Packers had other ideas.

Soulja Boy's hit song "Crank That (Soulja Boy)," has gripped the nation and will now leave a lasting impression on Chicagoans after an agreement between the 19-year-old artist and the Chicago Park District, the Bears' home field will now be named Soulja Field thanks to a the 10-year, $100 million dollar agreement includes $100 incentive every time the song is played at the stadium, which should nearly double the contract's payout.

It was another easy win for the Bears Sunday as they blew out the weak Division III San Francisco Tech 49ers 41-10.
