Nathan Vasher News

Play-by-play of the Super Bowl from a guy who really can't believe he's at the Super Bowl.

Ugh... terrible... Another night time pick, this time to end the game. On 2nd and 10 is there really a reason to FORCE that pass to Greg Olsen ? Jay Cutler played a pedestrian game up until that point, very 'game manager like', very safe, yet somehow he seemed to be playing scared.

If Jay Cutler can't get it together quickly, Bears coach Lovie Smith will face a painful question.

Five things to look for today. We'll answer them on Sunday: 1. Which Nick Florence will Texas get? Baylor's freshman quarterback definitely got defensive coordinator Will Muschamp's attention after Florence threw for 427 yards on the road against Missouri.

Why did the 49ers raise their umbrella of caution in the second half of last night's game? It was as we suspected.

Lovie Smith likes to say November goes a long way toward defining a football season, and fewer regular-season games in his tenure have more significance than tonight's meeting with the 49ers at Candlestick Park.

In their first 89 seasons of professional football, the Chicago Bears ' defense gave up 31 or more points in the first half five times.

Mike Singletary became a Hall of Fame linebacker with the Chicago Bears during a 12-year career spent all with the same team.

Ben Patrick #89 of the Arizona Cardinals catches a touchdown pass as Nathan Vasher #31 and Al Afalava #24 of the Chicago Bears attempt to defend at Soldier Field on November 8, 2009 in Chicago, Illinois.

The Cardinals' Anthony Becht scores a touchdown past the Bears' Lance Briggs , Danieal Manning and Kevin Payne on Sunday at Soldier Field.

Kurt Warner envisioned doing this on a regular basis at Soldier Field. Good thing for the Arizona Cardinals, the Chicago Bears took a pass on him.

The public "dissatisfaction" over the Bears ' win over the Browns is interesting.

Nathan Vasher gets burned by Green Bay's Greg Jennings on the game-winning TD in the 4th quarter at Lambeau Field.

Welcome to ESPNChicago.com ! The Bears are coming off a rout of the Cleveland Browns and face the defending NFC champion Cardinals Sunday at Soldier Field.

The progress of the Bears defense has been treacherously betrayed by the man running it.

It's well-documented that politicians' hot air, not weather conditions, is why Chicago is called the Windy City.

One of the problems the Bears have had on defense the past few seasons is that they haven't gotten production from some of the players they have paid.

If this eventually will be viewed as a statement game, then the man who had to speak through a fractured jaw made a loud one whose impact was surpassed only by the Bears' performance.

Looks like Lovie has made some changes in personnel . 1. Hunter Hillenmeyer goes back to the Mike and Nick Roach moves back to the Sam.

Back at practice, Tommie Harris appeared to be in a good mood as he walked off the field giggling with linebackers Lance Briggs and Jamar Williams .
