Hi, I'm Greg Chiakulas, and my blog is going to be about the Chicago Bears. This first blog is going to contain my thoughts on the Bears 53-man roster announced Saturday night.
The Bears made roster cuts a couple days ago and the big news was that quarterback Caleb Hanie made the roster.
Hanie was the best Bears quarterback in the preseason, outplaying both Orton and Grossman.
I was hoping he would make the team, and I'm hoping that if Orton falters, Hanie will get a look. The guy can scramble and make all the throws.
My biggest beef is that Mark Bradley made the roster over Brandon Rideau. Rideau had a strong preseason, leading the Bears in recieving with 127 yards and 3 touchdowns.
What is the Bear's infatuation with Mark Bradley anyway? The guy had about 6 good games his rookie season in 2005 and hasn't produced since.

Nice blog...for a Bears fan! I've never even heard of this Hanie guy. It'd be an interesting story if he could come out of nowhere and start over Grossman and Orton. Perhaps in your next blog (or even just edit it into your first one) you could give us some background on Hanie. I'm sure people will want to know more about this guy.
Good thought on Hanie, Alex. I consider myself a decent-sized football fan and I have no idea what this guy's background is.
ASSIGNMENT FOR TUESDAY --
Three things the Bears got right in Week 1, and three things that have to improve if they're going to have any shot of making the playoffs.
good blog... im not gonna lie , i thought orton was gonna do horrible against the colts, He did somethng grossman has never done in all the years he has played for us and that was scramble, and not only that but also take hits... he deffinately proved me wrong.... i give him a strong B for overall performance... As for Hester, i still think he has a good shot on offense, you'll see.... very cocky when it comes to returning.. that may effect his game.... i also agree with you on Hanie and was alittle shocked that lovie didnt consider him, we'll be ok though, we just need to find a go to guy....
