Thanks To Pestering Fans, Caleb Hanie Gets Some Coverage

By Ryan Corazza

Everywhere you look, there is Jay Culter coverage. Can you believe the Bears might have a passing game now? That they might look to run only to preserve a lead, not as the focal point of their offense? OH MY GOD HOW CRAZY.

But, unlike most over-coverage, I’ll give the Cutler stuff a pass. When Chicago’s gone this long without a Pro Bowl-worthy quarterback, it’s going to be the story of the Bears’ offseason, training camp, preseason and actual season. It just is.

But where does that leave poor Caleb Hanie? After all, it used to be two quarterbacks in town: Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman. It’s now become a one quarterback city.

But fear not, Hanie fans, the TOTALLY HILARIOUS hecklers over at Game of Inches, who were down at Bourbonnais sometime this week, got Hanie to jokingly say he was better than Cutler.

Is this what they call citizen journalism?

Kyle Orton Has No Torn Ligaments …

By Ryan Corazza

… which is good news. But, it doesn’t mean he’s coming back any earlier. A high ankle sprain is a high ankle sprain and Mr. Orton is not expected to return for three weeks to a month. Bummer, bro. However, would you like to know some particulars of a high ankle sprain according to ESPN’s injury analyst? Of course you would.

“The problem with the high ankle sprain is that every time we take a step, there is stress placed across the ligaments (that join the two lower leg bones) that form the roof of the ankle joint, stress that would tend to stretch or widen the roof,” Bell said. “If the roof continues to widen, then you get instability … and ultimately lead to an arthritic condition.

“One of the things they look at with high ankle sprains is how ‘wide’ that roof has become. If it’s not that bad, then it’s treated conservatively with a boot. If too wide, it becomes a surgical situation.”

BUT WHAT IF THE ROOF IS ON FIRE? Anyways, yes, Orton is coming back about when we thought he would — perhaps even a week earlier. The ball is in your hands, Rex. Unless you don’t do so hot. Then Caleb Hanie could have the ball. But let’s not let it get to that, OK?
