NFL superstar Devin Hester -- one of the greatest kickoff returners of all time -- is imploring Pop Warner football to reconsider its ban on kickoffs because... well, isn't it obvious?

Hester says he believes there can be a safe compromise and doesn't...

What can't the Manning brothers do? Rap, apparently. DirecTV released a near three-minute commercial starring NFL quarterbacks and brothers Peyton and Eli Manning doing their most-earnest Lonely Island impression. The best -- or worst, depending on how you look at it -- line: "Look at this guy using his phone as a phone/your phone ain't for calling/your phone's for footballing!"

Ok, I’ve had about all I can take of the negativity surrounding the Chicago Bears after their week 2 disaster in Green Bay. The Packers walloped them. The offensive game plan had some holes in it, the offensive line had some holes in it, and apparently Jay Cutler’s head had some holes in it. Time to move on, time for a different type of look at the Chicago Bears.

Alrighty then. Now that I’m in the proper mood to tackle some glass half full thoughts on the Monsters of the Midway, it’s time to get down to business.
With the Packers win, the Bears loss, the Vikings loss, and the Lions loss, there’s now a four way 1-1 tie atop the Nfc North.

In 2010 the Chicago Bears hired Mike Martz to be their Offensive Coordinator, with the hope that he would rekindle the magic from his ‘Greatest Show On Turf’ St. Louis Rams days. While the Rams played in the controlled environment of a dome, the Bears play on the comical sod of Soldier Field.
The Chicago playing surface has a sketchy reputation, with an almost weekly resodding, and many fans started joking that the Bears offense under Martz would be the Greatest Show On Sod. While the Bears did have some success under Martz’s guidance, a truly great offense never materialized. To be fair to Martz, part of the blame has to fall on former general manager Jerry Angelo, who failed to upgrade the offense with enough weapons for trigger-man Jay Cutler.
Martz “elected” (wink wink) to walk away from the Bears after his contract expired following the 2011 season, and they...
