We're Black and Blue All Over. (We're also on Facebook and Twitter.) GREEN BAY, Wis. -- We had two wild games Sunday in the NFC North and we're still not done with Week 4 yet. It won't be over until the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys play on ...

We're Black and Blue All Over. (We're also on Facebook and Twitter.) Minnesota Vikings tailback Adrian Peterson has noted often that he does not consider himself 100 percent recovered from major knee surgery in December. I suppose you could say he...

We're Black and Blue All Over. (We're also on Facebook and Twitter.) Sorry folks. Hit the wall Monday afternoon after a quick turnaround from Sunday night's game at Candlestick Park. We have some loose ends to tie up from the weekend, starting wit...

We're Black and Blue All Over. (We're also on Facebook and Twitter.) SAN FRANCISCO -- And then there were four ... 1-1 teams in the NFC North. Through two weeks, it's all even in our fair division. As we consider the possibilities for the 2012 ti...

We noted Monday that the Chicago Bears' left tackle situation has become something of a spectacle, and so it was with great anticipation that I noticed left tackle J'Marcus Webb's early-morning offering via Twitter and Facebook. A day after offens...

Hey, whaddya say we throw together a weekend mailbag? Comments, questions, criticism and praise are always welcome through the mailbag, Facebook, Twitter or skywriting. Via Facebook, Kona reacts to the latest lively comments from Green Bay Packers...

Even a quiet week by NFC North standards leaves us with some loose ends to tie up over the weekend. I see many of your blog comments and Facebook responses, all of your mailbag submissions and every one of your @replies on Twitter. Proceed accordingl...
