What could the Bears do today that would make them better Thursday vs. San Francisco?

Trade Lovie Smith for Mike Singletary

Pray. Really, really hard.

Let's start with covering and tackling properly and we'll go from there.


If we borrow Ced Benson for a day and have him back in Pittsburgh by noon Sunday, hmmm. @ilovetayswift

What punishment would you give Tommie Harris?

Force him to inhale next to Lindsay Lohan.

Someone gets to punch him in the face every time he does something stupid.

Having to watch the Bears' sad defense from the sidelines just might be punishment enough.

Let him spend a day with Coach Ditka.

Playing for the Bears seems appropriate. @caubin

How will the Bulls cope without Tyrus Thomas for a month or more?

The same way they'll cope without a bale of lint.

Seriously, the man injured himself doing a pull-up? And they still want him?

I say tie a couple of pogo sticks to Kirk Hinrich's legs and let him do his best Tyrus impression.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Maybe they can borrow some Bears players; they aren't doing anything right now. @CisforConnie

Patrick Kane is to the Blackhawks as ...

... cousin Oliver is to "The Brady Bunch."

... talent is to, well, no other sport in Chicago right now.

... Emilio Estevez is to the "Young Guns."

... North and Jiggetts are to "The Monsters."

... Boardwalk is to Monopoly: The only one the average person can name offhand. @Henjealy

Busy week in sports: Bears, Bulls, Hawks, Fire all in action. What's your priority?

In order: Blackhawks, Bears, pizza, TV, porn.

Fire, Hawks ... then nap while the other two are on.

Considering Cutler is my fantasy QB, the Bears.

Commit to the Indian.

Ugh ... when does baseball start? @JCapp1538
