		<description><![CDATA[The optimistic Chicago Bears fans will say that the bounces just didn't go the Bears way in tonight's Sunday night nationally televised game against the Atlanta Falcons.  The realist will look at the same game and say that the Bears found yet another way to themselves in front of a nationwide audience, losing on the road to the Falcons 21-14.  The Bears treat nationally televised games like a child's trip to the dentist.  Lots of fumbling, mental and physical mistakes and stupid penalties marred tonight's latest sub-par prime time performance.  Once again, there is a big question mark hanging over the head of Bears head coach Lovie Smith when it comes to the quality of weekly game-time preparation.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sportsmaven.wordpress.com&blog=692038&post=1476&subd=sportsmaven&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stunned silence......that's all that remained in the wonderful, grand city of Chicago this morning.  Another first round exit, Chicagoans and non-Chicagoans comparing the swift elimination to the Chicago Cubs post-season performances for the past two seasons.  October 2, 2009 will be a maelstrom in the history of Chicago sports.  Pundits will use it as fodder for yet endless metaphors for authors penning excruciating, unimaginative fairy tales of how Chicago will always be the "Second City".  But this time, it wasn't even second today, at least in the eyes of the voting International Olympic Committee members.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sportsmaven.wordpress.com&blog=692038&post=1467&subd=sportsmaven&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The similarities with the Chicago Bears two victories this season are eerily striking in it's very nature.  The Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks are two entirely different football teams, but the Bears approach to each game seemed to be virtually the same.  The Bears began each game very lethargically on both sides of the ball, stayed in the game while being steamrolled for most of the first half, picked up the intensity in the second half, scored on late drives engineered by Bears QB Jay Cutler and capitalized on two missed field goals by the opposing kicker to scratch out hard fought victories in each game.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sportsmaven.wordpress.com&blog=692038&post=1436&subd=sportsmaven&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the Chicago Blackhawks opened their fall training camp with some new faces in key places.  The most prominent new face is that of newly installed General Manager Stan Bowman.  Behind the scenes, lurking in the shadows is the true architect and face of the organization, the stature of William Scott Bowman, or Scotty as he's affectionately known.  The senior Bowman was hired in July, 2008 as Senior Advisor of Hockey Operations for the Blackhawks.  Since that day, owner Rocky Wirtz and team president John McDonough have turned the reins of the hockey operations over to the 9-time Stanley Cup champion coach.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sportsmaven.wordpress.com&blog=692038&post=1423&subd=sportsmaven&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chicago Bears fans, welcome to the Jay Cutler era.  Don't you wish you had QB Kyle Orton today?  It is incredibly easy to put all the blame on the horrific play of QB Jay Cutler, but he had plenty of help from his teammates and the coaching staff tonight in a 21-15 loss to the Green Bay Packers.  This truly was a total team effort.  The Bears made key mistakes on offense, defense, and special teams.  There was bad playcalling, missed blocking, tackling and coverage assignments, dropped balls, receivers quitting on routes.  The expectation is that no team in the NFL plays an entirely perfect game, but the totality, timing, and magnitude of the mistakes is startling and alarming.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sportsmaven.wordpress.com&blog=692038&post=1404&subd=sportsmaven&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is Chicago Cubs IF/OF/C Jake Fox becoming the next Mark DeRosa for the Chicago Cubs?  Fox's hitting has been widely praised up and down the Cubs leadership hierarchy, posting downright gaudy numbers this season at AAA Iowa.  His .409 BA, 17HR, 53RBI and OBP of .495 in just 45 games are completely off the charts.  In 29 games with the Cubs, Fox's stats are .312 BA, 4HR, 15 RBI with an OBP of .356, very impressive for a part-time role player....<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sportsmaven.wordpress.com&blog=692038&post=1392&subd=sportsmaven&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
