Reports: Lovie Smith Fired As Chicago Bears Coach

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport is reporting that Chicago Bears Coach Lovie Smith has been fired.

NFL.com is reporting that Chicago Bears Coach Lovie Smith has been fired. The Bears failed to make the playoffs despite starting the season 7-1. The team struggled to a 10-6 finish and lost out on the final playoff spot to the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears have not made the playoffs in five of the last six seasons. Smith did get the Bears to the Super Bowl in 2006. In recent years the Bears offense has been inconsistent, despite trading two first round picks for quarterback Jay Cutler. The Chicago Tribune noted that Smith had gone through four offensive coordinators during his tenure. Smith compiled an 80-63 record as head coach of the Chicago Bears since 2004, Yahoo! Sports reported. Like Niles-Morton Grove Patch on Facebook

Although this move is at least 3 years overdue, I was surprised that the Bear organization made the move since Smith still had one year on his contract and, to quote Mike Ditka during his playing days Halas throws nickels around like manhole covers, (Ditka was traded to Philadelphia the following day). Bottom line is still the bottom line. As long as the "long-suffering" fans tolerate and support…   more ›

Fans Wait Hours To Meet Ditka in Niles

Hundreds still enamored of Da Coach wait hours in line at Binny's in Niles to buy his line of wines and present helmets, footballs and posters to be autographed.

  People came from as far away as McHenry County, and waited as long as four and a half hours in line, to meet former Bears Coach and Hall of Famer Mike Ditka Wednesday evening. Iron Mike, as some in the crowd fondly called him, sat at a long table at Binny's Beverage Depot in Niles autographing bottles from his new line of wines from 6 to 8 p.m. Fans patiently waited in a long line that snaked through the gigantic store.  "People started arriving at 1:30, and that's when the line began forming," said Chuck Campagna, general manager of the Binny's Beverage Depot Niles location. Like Patch on Facebook for news, conversation Rick Parenti, operations manager for Binny's Beverage Depot's stores, had the unenviable task of standing outside to …

POLL: Will The Chicago Bears Win The Super Bowl This Season?

The Chicago Bears kick off their season at noon Sunday, Sept. 9 against the Indianapolis Colts at home in Soldier Field.

Hopes are high as the Chicago Bears kick off their season at noon Sunday, Sept. 9, against the Indianapolis Colts and rookie quarterback Andrew Luck. To put everyone in the football mood, we uploaded a video compiliation of Devin Hester kick returns to this post. Enjoy the most exciting moment in football – for a full 10 minutes! The Bears had a busy offseason adding a playmaker at wide receiver in Brandon Marshall, and depth at runningback and quarterback with free agent signings Michael Bush and Jason Campbell. Rookie wide receiver Alshon Jeffery also looked promising in presseason. But will it be enough? Or will their failure to upgrade the offensive line doom the team to another lackluster season?

A Chicago Bear Makes A Spicy (Cooking) Visit To Niles Meijer

What a way for Anthony Adams to forget a bad loss to the Green Bay Packers --doing a celebrity chef routine in Niles.

First came the cucumber, finely grated. Next was minced garlic. Don’t forget the mint. Gotta spice it up with jalapeno peppers. Tomatoes are always utilitarian--at the very least. Cilantro, spices and salt are added for seasonings. “If I say spicy, it’s going to be spicy,” said chef Maribel Alchin. Anthony Adams didn’t spill any of the above ingredients. Better yet, he didn’t fumble. One day after his Chicago Bears were thumped by the Green Bay Packers, defensive lineman Adams got into the culinary arts’ end zone Monday by successfully assembling a container of spicy Indian dip at the Meijer store in Niles, with the helpful directions of store healthy living advisor Alchin. The unlikely pair, chef’s uniform-adorned Alchin and the affable …
