As the Bears prepare to take on the 49ers and head coach Jim Harbaugh, I thought this would be a good game to revisit. For those out there too young to remember, Harbaugh used to be the quarterback of the Chicago Bears. He also may have been the guy to single-handedly end the Mike [...]

Brandon Marshall’s Accuser Has Gone Into Hiding

Christen Myles, the former San Diego State hoops player who was allegedly punched in the face by Brandon Marshall, has gone into hiding according to her roommate.

This from the NY Post:

Police are reviewing surveillance video from the Marquee nightclub to determine if NFL superstar Brandon “The Beast” Marshall punched a Manhattan woman there Sunday night.

Christen Myles, 24, a former hoops player at San Diego State University, told cops the 6-foot-4, 230-pound receiver punched her in the face.

Myles, meanwhile, was a no-show at a meeting with detectives yesterday, sources said. A roommate said Myles has gone into hiding.

Gone into hiding? What does that mean? Let’s discuss after the jump.

One reason is that Myles lied to the police and is afraid to go face the music. Did Myles, who moved to New York to pursue a career in media, mislead police?

Another might be that someone not at all related to this blog, the Chicago Bears or Drew Peterson get to her to shut her up. Is there a payoff in the works? When you invest two third round draft picks and nearly $10 million a season, you have a reason to protect that investment from prosecution and possible suspension.

Marshall has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and stated he would be cleared. What do you think? Is Myles’ silence a coincidence or a little suspicious?

BEAR DOWN!!!

I saw this picture while rolling through the Tribune and got a kick out of it and thought you might too:

Billy Idol much?

Jimmy Mac living up to the “punky QB” mantra during the 1986 preseason matchup between the Bears and the Dallas Cowboys. Can you imagine those ’85 Bears on the loose in London for a preseason game.

Continuing our offseason series of Chicago Bears history lessons, we bring you the 1966 Chicago Bears, courtesy of Hulu.

The Bears couldn’t keep the momentum of the strong ’65 season, dropping to a disappointing 5-7-2 record. Gale Sayers led the team with 12 overall touchdowns, 8 rushing, 2 receiving and 2 on returns.

Now that we’re in full offseason mode, I thought it would be fun to brush up on our Bears history. Thanks to the power of Hulu and NFL Films, I can bring you a highlight reel from the 1965 season.

The 1965 Bears were highlighted by a pair of rookies – Gale Sayers on offense and Dick Butkus. Perhaps you’ve heard of them? Talk about a draft class that today’s Bears won’t match any time soon!

So take a few moments and enjoy this outstanding clip from NFL Films that I pulled off Hulu to remember the glory days:
