Tall, twin outrageous orange doors welcome visitors to the latest outpost of desert chic in Palm Springs. As a suntanned man in a hot pink jacket ushers you inside the Parker Palm Springs, a new luxury hotel, it's clear that change is afoot. The once-...

If the Bears can turn a 17-10 comeback victory over the Minnesota Vikings into the foundation for a season, one 12-minute stretch Sunday will loom as the turning point. It was not on the field. It was in the locker room at halftime, when the Bears made...

As Bears defensive ends Alex Brown and Adewale Ogunleye picked themselves off the mound of bodies in the end zone Sunday at The Coliseum, they quickly found themselves buried in a pile of joy. Their teammates flooded the field to celebrate a game-winning...

They are 3-2 and kings of the universe. A real team with serious goals, an agenda and an attitude. They are one victory short of their season total for each of the last two seasons, but you'd never know it. Never guess that this was the same team that...

Jim Flanigan's jaw was clenched so tightly, his teeth threatened to shatter under the pressure, and you wonder how much a six-year Bears veteran can take. You wonder how many more of these any of them can absorb and dissect and move past when every week,...

Almost good enough never felt worse, primarily because it keeps looking better. If the Bears almost beat Jacksonville, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay the first three weeks of the season, then they really almost beat the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, performing...

The Bears go for their third straight win today as they face the Titans for the first time ever at The Coliseum. The last time these teams met, the current stadium was not built and they were the Tennessee Oilers. Bear fans, Adam Caldarelli is at The...

You were scared for them at first. Seriously frightened that for the first time in the annals of organized sport, a team might actually be ground into the artificial turf and disappear. Minnesota's offense operated as if running its pregame walkthrough,...

The teams were a study in contrast, both on and off the field Sunday in the Bears' 13-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The usually demonstrative Vikings were morose as they trudged up the hallway of the Metrodome to their locker room. They had...

If there were a question after the Detroit defeat last week—could the Bears fall any lower this season?—it was answered emphatically Sunday in a 25-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. If the Bears are not at the bottom now, they certainly can see it. The...
