Bears interested in Plaxico Burress?

With Plaxico Burress having his case adjourned and waiting on the verdict of the Grand Jury, there is a good chance that he will be allowed to play this season. Of course Roger Goodell has to has his ruling as well. In my opinion I see no reason for Plaxico to be suspended. He was suspended last season for the last four games and lost about 18 million dollars. I feel he has payed the price and should be allowed to play they this season without suspension. He would be a major improvement over any Bears WR that is on the current roster. He always draws double teams which would allow Devin Hester to take his game to another level. With the addition of Jay Cutler and Orlando Pace the bear’s offense looks to be this year’s strong point for the 1st time in my 21 year life time. Burress is only going to get a one year deal. I feel it's worth the risk. He is the one that has everything to lose. He messes up again most likely it would spell the end of his NFL career. The Bears are reported to be one of three teams interested. The Jets are said to be backing off leaving only the Bucs and Bears. Bucs aren't going to win anything soon. So you would think that he would sign with the Bears. His close relationship with Jay Cutler won't hurt at all. You would have to think that with this possible addition this would only push the Bears defense even more just to prove that they are not past their prime. Expectations are high this year and anything less than at least a division championship is a failure.

Cubs vs. Sox

Tomorrow starts a new chapter of the cross-town classic. Despite both teams starting off to a sluggish start, they are both very much still in the hunt. The Cubs are out 3 games despite only having a .500 record. With A-Ram still on the shelf because of a dislocated shoulder and Milton Bradley not living up to his contract the Cubs seem to be a completely different team from the last few seasons. Because the lack of production the Cubs management decided that change was needed. They fired hitting coach Gerold Perry, who had this team last year in the top of all of baseball. The upcoming series could hopefully light a spark in the Cubs bats. You would think with this club they will most certainly be buyers come the trading deadline. With so many players on the Cubs roster that have no-trade clauses and the sell of the team up in limbo any deal might be hard to come by. There are really no must win series in June but you would think that Cubs are taking it that way.

Bulls must resign BG7

The Bulls must resign BG7(Ben Gordon). He is averaging 24.5 points a game in the playoffs. He is one of the best scorers in the league not named Kobe, Lebron, or Dewayne. He is a sharp shooter and when the jumper is hot man it's hot. He and Rose work well together. His defense might be lack luster but he makes up for it with that jump shot of his. How could you not want him back. You just can't lose him for nothing. Look at his numbers during his entire career 18.5 points per game, 41% from behind the Arc, 85% free throw shooter, and has something a lot of players don't have. That's ice water in the veins. Not afraid to take the big shot, make or miss he is taking it. The Bulls need a player like this. He was been consistent throughout his career with the Bulls. I say the Bulls need to get it down. Give the money that he wants and don't worry about 2010. No gurantee that any player would come anyway. If you were to get any player I would think it would be via a trade of some of the younger talent that the Bulls have. Ben Gordon is only driving up his price with every clutch shot that he makes. Big shot Ben needs to be around for a long time. Paxson needs not to worry about the luxary tax and do what's important. Take that step towards winning a championship. Ben played most of the 2nd half with a strained hamstring. He is the real deal and a player that would be surely missed when you need someone to take that big shot.

Blackhawks one game away

Tonight the Blackhawks looks to close out the series vs. the Flames. The Blackhawks lead the series 3 games to 2. It has been a hard hitting series which is expected in a playoff series. The young Blackhawks team know that it takes 4 not three wins. So look for them to come out with an effort somewhat similar to what they did in Game 5. It will be an exciting game for sure. My pick to click tonight will be Toews. Check back for after game thoughts.

Bulls Vs. Boston Best of 7

If you would have told me around the All-Star break that the Bulls would finish the regular season with a .500 record I would of called you a liar. Well you won't catch any lies here the bulls finished the season 41-41. They have won 16 of their last 17 home games. Now that it seems as if KG will be out for at least the 1st round the Bulls really have a chance. I am not sold on Boston. They tend to try and turn it on and off when they want to. If the Bulls could still one road game at least it will be an interesting series. The Bulls can't afford to fall back into their old ways like they did last night vs. Toronto. Ben Gordon has to really step his defense up but I highly doubt he will. My prediction is Boston in 6 hopefully I am wrong.

Rex back to the Bears?

I know this might sound like a crazy statement, but not really if you think about it. Just hear me out first. Currently the backups of Cutler are Caleb Hanie and Brett Basanez. Neither with any starts in the NFL. Brett Basanez is the only one with any experience. Rex is familiar with the offense and has led the Bears to the playoffs something that Jay Cutler has never experienced. God forbid Cutler gets hurt are you really comfortable with Caleb Hanie and Brett Basanez as the safety nets? If Grossman doesn't see a snap all year what harm is done? None at all. How quick was everyone to throw Rex under the bus? Never seen home fans boo a player at family night. I am lobbying for the Bears to bring Rex back as an insurance policy for the Bears season. Comment let me know your take on this topic. Until next time Chicago Sports Bloggers

Bulls clinch playoffs

The Oklahoma Thunder have beaten the Bobcats therefore guaranteeing no worse than the 8th seed. The Bulls are only a game and a half behind 76ers for the 6th spot. The Bulls are on a good streak and only getting better. Don't look for them to get swept by whomever ever their unlucky opponent is. I really believe they could get to the 2nd round at least. Stay tuned to the Chicago Sports Bloggers
