Bears on SI Cover

Well it's official, the Bears will become the latest victim of the SI Cover Curse. I anticipate Jay Cutler and Devin Hester to run into each other on the first play of the game and have them both simultaneously tear their ACLs.

Caleb Hanie For President

So I was skimming SI.com and found this article by the mostly enjoyable Don Banks about backup QBs.

Guess who is dead last in his rankings of backup QBs, that's right, Caleb Hanie. The man people wanted to see start at QB last year for the Bears. I personally love Caleb Hanie, but I understand this ranking. He's never played a down, he didn't have that much hype in college or coming out of college like Smith, Young or Lienhart. Still, I like Caleb and think he's going to be a fine backup QB. Saying that, would I be terrified if Cutler is unable to play, you bet I would.
