Bears News:

Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman is set to receive the Ed Block Courage Award in Baltimore, March 2007. Grossman will be honored at the awards dinner in Baltimore and later by the Bears April 3 at Maryville Academy in Des Plaines. The much-coveted award is presented to a single player from all 32 NFL teams who exhibits an outstanding commitment to sportsmanship and courage and provides momentum to his team off the field. Grossman was voted NFC Offensive Player of the Month in September as he made a massive contribution to the Bears Super Bowl campaign - the first time they had qualified in 21 years. Grossman is set to become a football legend, and the toast of Soldier Field, the Chicago Bears stadium. Grossman is at the pinnacle of his football career, and stands proudly at the top of the Bears' roster, his recent heroic Super Bowl performance fresh in the minds of Bears fans everywhere.

On a contrasting note, Bears defensive lineman Tank Johnson was sentenced Thursday, March 15 to four months in jail for violating the conditions of his probation. Johnson was sentenced to 120 days in the Cook County Jail and a $2,500 fine after pleading guilty to the violation. Johnson was arrested on misdemeanor weapons charges Dec. 14 while he was on probation from charges stemming from a November 2005 Cook County case. Johnson appealed to Cook County Circuit Judge John Moran for leniency.

"Your honor, I don't believe I'm a man who belongs in jail," he said.

Johnson's lawyers claimed the football player's fame had colored the decision to sentence.

"This sentence was unnecessarily harsh," defense attorney Lorna Propes said. "It's pretty unheard of for these circumstances."

The mixed fortunes of Bears star players will all be a memory when the new season begins in September. Then we will see football tickets exchanged crazily, the bleachers will be filled, and the punishing NFC schedule will be pinned to peoples' walls. It is believed that following the Super Bowl success, tickets to Bears home games will be in increased demand. Bears' stadium, Soldier Field, scene of many recent triumphs in Chicago football, operates a dual ticket system. There are "PSL" and "non-PSL" seats in the stadium. PSL indicates "Permanent Seat License", which means that a license holder enjoys permanent control of the season ticket, in exchange for a one-time fee. The license holder may transfer or sell the "PSL", or else simply keep it for themselves. Other seat tickets are traded along more conventional lines. One thing is for sure, Chicago Bears tickets will be at a premium, and Soldier Field will be buzzing.
