on the Weekend Sports Report with Packer Dave and Steve Leventhal

….Jeff Rich joins us to preview the 2016 AFC and NFC Championship games. We also have as a guest a current NFL player who has authored a tell-all book about life in the National Football League.  Unlike a typical memoir, loaded with whitewashed anecdotes and cute stories, this is a no holds barred, real world look inside the daily life of an offensive lineman playing right now. It’s so explosive, he uses the pen name “Johnny Anonymous” and disguises his voice for interviews. No topic is off the table in this wide ranging interview.

Lastly, John Poulter brings us up to date on what’s going on in the NHL and the English Premier League.

Hear interviews from Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Greg Olsen, and Larry Fitzgerald.

Don’t miss a cameo from Bob Costas of NBC.

Chicago Bears vs New England Patriots Preview

by

The Chicago Bears are in a fight.

Not with another team or the NFL front office, but with themselves. On paper, the Bears have a star-studded cast of players with names like Marshall, Cutler, Allen, Forte and Briggs. If only the games were played on paper.

th13M9A295Every week the Bears find a way to shoot themselves in the foot, whether is be a turnover or dumb penalty. The Bears could be 6 – 1 going into week 8 against the New England Patriots but can not seem to get out of their own way. With terrible losses to Buffalo and Miami, the Bears look to turnaround their season against the AFC East’s best team.

The Pats stumbled out of the gate with a 33 – 20 loss to the Dolphins but have gone 5 – 1 since then, as Tom Brady has racked up 1705 yards, 13 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions. The Patriots are 2nd only to the Packers in turnover margin at +9, while giving up 22 PPG. “It’s going to come down to execution football for us. That’s the key… to make sure we’re on top of our game and do what we’re supposed to do in the run game and in the pass game,” Bears defensive coordinator Mel Tucker said when asked about stopping Tom Brady. Unlike Jay Cutler, Brady turns to a bunch of no-named wide receivers, led by Julian Edelman, to average 28.3 PPG at home.

With Stevan Ridley out for the year with a torn ACL, Shane Vereen (brother of Bears rookie safety Brock Vereen) will be the primary ball carrier. Vereen is a poor mans Matt Forte, as he averages 4.9 YPC and is a viable threat catching the ball out of the backfield. Brady’s favorite target, Rob Gronkowski, is getting healthy and looks to feast on the carousel of inexperienced Bears linebackers.

The Bears will also have to fight their urge to throw the ball when they are in a running situation. The Bears are 28th in the league in rush attempts, while having one of the most dynamic running backs in the league. The Patriots are 24th in the NFL in rush defense, giving up 126.3 YPG but boast the BEST passing defense with Darrelle Revis lurking in the secondary.Revis

Marc Trestman will need to call the game of his career this week for the Bears to come out victorious. Trestman’s game plan will have to limit the amount of high risk throws by Jay Cutler while keeping the Patriots defense guessing. If the Bears are repeatedly behind the chains, expect a long day from this Bears offense and multiple turnovers by Cutler.

To beat a team that has a HOF quarterback and a dominant pass defense, the Bears will need to run the ball to open up the passing game and keep the chains moving. The Bears offense will get a boost with DE Chandler Jones out for the Pats with a hip injury, but will still need to orchestrate long drives to keep the ball away from Brady. It will take a total team effort to limit the amount of opportunities the Patriots have Sunday.

It is a tall order for the Bears this weekend in New England if they want to get a win. The loss to the Dolphins knocked the wind out of Chicago. A loss to the Patriots will be the knock out blow for the Bears’ 2014 season.

Miami Dolphins vs Chicago Bears Preview

by

It’s about time… Jay Cutler and the Bears finally put together a complete 4 quarters against the Falcons as they controlled every facet of the game. “We have to get to a point where we can consistently play at a high level on all three phases,” Coach Trestman stated on Thursday. The Bears organization will never admit that they needed the victory, but Phil Emery and Marc Trestman know that 2 – 4 is way different then 3 – 3 in the NFL. Per PlayoffStatus.com, the Bears now have a 30% chance of making the playoffs after that win, while the Falcons (2 – 4) chances dropped to 12%. The Bears have an opportunity to go above .500 this weekend as the Miami Dolphins (2 – 3) come into town after their last-second loss to the Packers, 27 – 24.

The Dolphins might bring a losing record to Soldier Field, but have a defense and a running game that will require the Bears to stay sharp. Cameron Wake (DE) and Olivier Vernon (DE) anchor a defense that has given up the 6th fewest yards (331.6) per game while touting the 6th best rushing attack at 136.2 yards per game in the NFL. Knowshon Moreno was placed on IR due to a torn ACL, making Lamar Miller the feature back with his 5.2 yards per carry.

In his third year, QB Ryan Tannehill has posted an 81.5 rating, while complete just over 60% of his passes and thrown 8 touchdowns in five games this season. Tannehill has had a tendency to turn the ball over (23 in 2013) so the Bears defense will look to make the most out of their opportunities this Sunday.

Coming off the 2nd most passing yards of his career (381), Jay Cutler will be front and center as the Bears look to get their first home win this season. “We have to find out a way to start fast at home for these noon games,” Cutler said when asked about the lack of success at home. The Bears are 21 – 5 when Cutler does not throw an interception while 4 – 18 when he throws 2 or more INTs, which begs the question… Will good Jay or bad Jay show up this Sunday?

The offensive line will get a boost this week with the return of left tackle Jermon Bushrod. Bushrod injured his ankle/knee in practice and was replaced by Michael Ola. Thursday was the first time Bushrod, Slauson, Garza, Long and Mills lined up together since week one against Buffalo. If Mills continues to struggle at right tackle, look for Ola to replace him in the upcoming weeks.

The Bears need to turn things around at home and pick up the win, before heading out east to face the New England Patriots. The Pats have won 3 in-a-row and Tom Brady has found his mojo as the offense has put up 35.6 PPG during their winning streak.

Prediction: Dolphin 24, Bears 27

They Said It – Hero & Zero of the Week

by

Gisele Bundchen - Mrs. Tom Brady

Clark Griffith, Owner of the Washington Senators, about the team: “The fans like to see home runs, and we have assembled a pitching staff for their enjoyment.”

From the other calendar, a Prosecutor to a witness, after being told by the Judge he can’t ask the witness what he was told by someone else: “Very well then, Mr. Davies. Without telling me what he said to you, what did he tell you to say?”

Happy Birthday to Glenn Beck!

From nightlines, Jimmy Fallon: “In 2011, China will end America’s 110 year run as the #1 manufacturing country in the World. That gives me a great idea. We should start making the one thing we know the world will really need: ‘Made in China’ labels.”

For the HERO of the week, how about Jesse Waters, a producer of The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News. Okay, I imagine not too many of y’all know who he is, or watch The Factor, but his pieces on the show are hilarious! He does a series of interviews with people on the street, yesterday it was a bunch of students at Yale, getting opinions of ‘Sex Week’, which is being celebrated this week at the college. (That’s another story). He asks 1-2 questions to each person, getting a quick answer, and movie clips are interspersed within the segment. Last night they had clips from Animal House, Sixteen Candles, Caddyshack, and have had many other movies represented over the years. I think his segments are usually on Thursday nights, y’all should check them out. Pretty good!

For the ZERO of the week, we’ll go with Tom Brady’s wife Gisele Bundchen. All of you have probably heard her rag the Patriots receivers, for a couple of drops, which if caught, may have won the Super Bowl for them. She’s been criticized a little for what she said, but if she was not a Super-Model, she would have been slammed nationwide, by everyone. ALL players know that’s one of the unwritten ‘rules’, a player’s wife or parent or brother or whoever can’t blame someone else on the team for a loss.

Happy Weekend to all.
