Opposite Ends
Matt Forte's season ended Tuesday when the Bears placed him on injured reserve but the day brought some good news as the running back was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career.
Forte becomes the first offensive player general manager Jerry Angelo has drafted in 10 years to be selected to the all-star game, although he can't play because he was placed on IR with a sprained MCL in his right knee. Angelo now has selected eight Pro Bowl players in the last nine drafts.
Forte was one of five Bears players named to the NFC squad, joining linebackers Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs, cornerback Charles Tillman and special teamer Corey Graham. Like Forte, Tillman and Graham are first-time selections.
Of course, the Bears are in the midst of a 5 game losing streak and are headed home after Sunday's final regular season game. We're sure that each of these selections would give it all up for a healthy lineup and a shot a the playoffs.
In the meantime, on the other side of town:
- It took the Blackhawks 36 games to reach the 50-point mark. The last time they did it in 36 contests was in 2009, the season that ended with the Hawks hoisting the Stanley Cup.
Let the comparisons begin.

Where would be the best place or website to buy Blackhawks tickets?
As long as jagoff Kane doesn't get his ass whupped when he's out on the town drunk trying to pick fights. This guy is a class a asshole. Not everyone is an 80 year cab driver dude you will get your ass kicked one day you are awfully small especially without a defenseman protecting you.
Hopefully they can make some trades to get more production out of there 3rd and 4th lines like they had when they won the cup! Time to trade Frolic and Bickell. Lets see more of Kane at center also. This all means nothing if you dont have a hot goalie in the playoffs. P.O. H
What about Hester?
Go Hawks
Julius Peppers should have been there ....
What about Hester?
Can't skate backwards...
Why do they name players from a loser team like the Bears? The Bears lose because of their players. And you want them in a pro bowl?
don't be silly, Hester can't play HOCKEY!!! go hawks
they need a true second line center,a scoring left wingerwho will hit for the 3rd line,and another speedy puck movin d man!they need to see if morin and smith are ready.pirri is lookin good for the future.we have mcclean in rockford who is a depth center.connelly is an ahl all star who is speedy and can move the puck.is he nhl quality is what we need to see!
The Bears will never win anything as long as the cheapskate McCaskey family controls the team. Old man Halas had a reputation as a cheap mother fucker. He wouldn't spend a dime to see Jesus Christ kick a field goal on Christmas day. Fuck those rich selfish bastards.
For Forte, dealing with the Halas Family is like the police dealing with shortshanks or 9.5.
Go Blues :>
The. Bears'. Coaches. and. Management. Stink.
Unprepared, clueless at times, wrong defense for today's game. And yeah-let's keep running the ball. While Brees and Rodgers throw for 300-400 yards a game!!!!
Can't blame the players too much when the whole philosophy is from 20 years ago....
Wait-doesn't that remind you of another organization?
