Bears bites: Buh-bye Bears

Sigh:The 182nd time wasn#146;t the charm.

Bear down:There#146;s some confusion over whether last Monday or today is officially #147;Blue Monday#148; #8212; the most depressing day of the year.

Um, it#146;s today.

But hey:Did you ever think they#146;d make it this far?

Did you think they#146;d have a chance to tie it up in the closing minutes after the way things started?

Did you ever think it would be Caleb Hanie leading the charge?

Buh-bye now:Todd Collins. It#146;s been real.

Jay#146;s still our quarterback:Fans were burning Jay Cutler jerseys after the game and joining with current and former NFL players in lighting him him up online after he sat out the second half with a knee injury.

#147;You can play this position hurt,#148; former QB Trent Dilfer said on ESPN. #147;Some of us have.#148;

Hmm.

Wonder if the response would have been the same had it been Brian Urlacher out instead of Cutler?

Unbearable:BTW, it#146;s always a super idea when local TV stations send reporters to Chicago nightspots for reaction shots. The insights gleaned from the overserved are beyond fascinating.

Just remember:Pitchers and catchers report in less than a month.
