Highlights
Chicago Bears

A charter member of the NFL, the Chicago Bears were known as the Decatur Staleys when A. E. Staley established the team in 1919 in Decatur, Ill. George Halas and Edward Sternaman were hired to run the team in 1920, and Halas bought the club from Staley in 1921, and moved the franchise to Chicago. Sternaman stayed on as a partner. The team became known as the Chicago Staleys that same year. In 1922, the name was changed to Bears and they began playing their games at Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs.

In 1970, the team moved to a new lakefront stadium, Soldier Field, their current home. Halas was the head coach on and off for 48 years. He became sole owner in 1932 and held the position until 1983. His daughter, Virginia Halas McCaskey, took over the ownership that year, and remains owner to this day. The Bears have won a total of eight NFL Championships and one Super Bowl (XX). In 1940, they clobbered the Washington Redskins 73-0 in the title game. The Super Bowl team is considered one of the best in history, after losing just one game in 1985 and winning the title, 46-10 over the New England Patriots. The Bears are a member of the North Division in the National Football Conference (NFC). Famous players include Halas, Bronko Nagurski, Red Grange, Sid Luckman, Bill George, Mike Ditka, Walter Payton, Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers. The Bears have 26 members in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, most in the league. The club's headquarters are in Lake Forest, Ill., a northern suburb of Chicago.  « Show less

  6. Matt Vensel's 2012 NFL mock draft -- version 4.0

    The 2012 NFL draft is now just over a week away. Free agency has died down, and teams are shifting their focus to the draft to round out their rosters. The Ravens are no exception. Their primary needs are still the same as they were entering the offseason: offensive line help, a pass rusher and a receiver.

  7. Looking at the past 10 selections at No. 29 in the NFL draft

    As you know, the Ravens hold the 29th pick in next week&rsquo;s NFL draft. Being the only NFL team that has made the playoffs in each of the past four seasons, they have grown accustomed to drafting at the tail end of the first round.

  8. Matt Vensel's 2012 NFL mock draft -- version 5.0

    Finally, after months of teams poking and prodding NFL draft prospects, scouts picking apart players they had previously pumped up, and media folks like me doing hours of homework trying to make sense of it all, the 2012 NFL draft is less than 48 hours away. I would be lying if I told you that part of me wasn&rsquo;t ready for all of this just to be over and done with, but still, draft weekend is easily my favorite weekend on the NFL calendar.

  12. NFL free agency primer: safety

    In the last installment of our position-by-position free agency primers, we will look at the safeties. The Ravens will likely have holes to fill at safety, but they aren&rsquo;t going to be in the market for a high-priced free agent, not with Ed Reed returning in 2012 and not after strong safety Bernard Pollard fit in so well in his first season in Baltimore.
