| Cutler can now rest easy for a while. After being the unwitting target of a polarizing public debate over his early exit from his team's NFC Championship Game loss to the Green Bay Packers, the media hounds have (for now) released the controversial Chicago Bears quarterback from their clenches in favor of some fresh meat to carry on the tedious tradition of Super Bowl buildup. In the nearly two weeks that have passed since the Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers punched their tickets to Dallas for this year's t |

A die-hard Chicago Bears fan, writer Veronica Arreola, said she wouldn't even pick Roethlisberger for her fantasy team. ``I don't think on-the-field performance redeems off-the-field behavior,'' she said. ``As a feminist and a mom, I would never buy a Roethlisberger jerse |

DALLAS (AP) - Jim McMahon says that when he runs into ex-teammates from the 1986 Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears, the conversation goes like this: ``How are you feeling? Are you forgetting stuff like me?'' The former quarterback says he feels he's in a daze sometimes and occasionally can't remember why he walked into a room. McMahon spoke Thursday at a news conference held by the Sports Legacy Institute, which he is helping to promote concussion education. The institute is hoping cities - including |

The president appeared to be trying to straddle two crucial electoral states after rooting unambiguously for his hometown Chicago Bears earlier. Obama previously said he wouldn't take sides in the Super Bowl, after his Bears were eliminated. Obama visited Penn State University to tour research labs and talk about the economy.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights r |

| INNEAPOLIS (AP) - Aaron Rodgers threw for 301 yards, with three of his four touchdown passes to Greg Jennings, and Green Bay beat Brett Favre and Minnesota for the second time this season. The Packers (7-3) kept pace in the NFC North race with the Chicago Bears (7-3) and ruined any realistic hope the Vikings (3-7) had left to give Favre another shot at a playoff run in his 20th NFL season. Instead, this 100th meeting between these border-state rivals, likely the last for the 41-year-old Favre, was marked |

He had been thinking about President Barack Obama's promise to attend the Super Bowl if the Bears were in it.

| (MySportsbook) - Of the Green Bay Packers' objectives going into their NFC Championship Game bout with the Chicago Bears, near the top of the list was keeping the football out of the hands of game-changing return man Devin Hester. It was a mission well accomplished, thanks to the work of a relatively unknown first-year punter whom the team nearly cut loose at midseason. Tim Masthay was one of the overlooked heroes of the 21-14 victory that vaulted the Packers into their first Super Bowl in 13 years, with |
