John Dempsey, WLS-AM 890 News
Former Bears Quarterback Jay Cutler is going to be trading his helmet for broadcast headphones. Cutler is announcing his retirement and will be joining FOX Sports as a football analyst, working on a team with Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis.
Fox Sports president John Entz issued a statement saying “We’re thrilled to welcome Jay to the Fox Sports family. We’re very excited about the potential he brings to the booth and are looking forward to hearing his analysis during what is sure to be another great season of the NFL on Fox.”

Bears’ Hall, Packers’ Dorleant arrested in Iowa
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in central Iowa say Chicago Bears cornerback Deiondre Hall and Green Bay Packers cornerback Makinton Dorleant were arrested outside a bar in Cedar Falls.
Hall was cited for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and interference with official acts. Dorleant was cited for interference.
Police say officers responded to a report of a fight outside the bar Sharkey’s Funhouse on Saturday night.
According to a police affidavit, Hall did not respond to police instructions and spit in the officers’ faces. Police say an officer used a Taser on Hall’s legs in order to get him into the squad car.
Dorleant was detained after authorities say he approached officers “in a threatening manner” following Hall’s arrest.
A Packers spokesman says the team is aware of the situation and “gathering more information.” The Bears have not responded to an email looking for comment.
Both men played college football in Cedar Falls at Northern Iowa.

U of I announces Athletic Hall of Fame class
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — The University of Illinois is announcing its first Athletic Hall of Fame class that includes legendary football coach and Chicago Bears’ owner George Halas, baseball Hall of Famer Lou Boudreau and Harold “Red” Grange, the football star whose fame in the early 20th century rivaled that of Babe Ruth.
In a news release, the school lists 28 men and women who competed or coached in sports, ranging from football to volleyball.
The class includes well-known figures such as football great Dick Butkus. But it also includes Nancy Thies Marshall, who in 1972 became the only Illini women’s gymnast to compete in the Olympics.
Another inductee is Harold Osborn. In 1924 he became the first — and still the only — gold medalist in both the high jump and the decathlon.

Will The Bears See Their Coldest Game Ever This Weekend?
By Jen DeSalvo & Ray Stagich, WLS-AM News
(CHICAGO) WLS-AM and The Weather Channel Meteorologist Ray Stagich tells us that the Chicago Bears have been tracking kickoff temps since 1963. Their coldest home game on record was 2 degrees (wind chill -13)
Their coldest home game on record was 2 degrees (wind chill -13) against the Packers on Monday, December 22, 2008. The second coldest home game on record was 3 degrees, also against the Packers, in December 1983.
With the Bears taking on the Packers in frigid temperatures yet again this weekend, there is a chance that the record for the coldest game since 1963 might just happen.
According to Ray Stagich, the forecast high on Sunday is -2 degrees.
Regardless, the game should also make one of the top 10 coldest games on record if predictions are correct.
Here are the last five of the top 10:
6. 1/20/2008 Lambeau Field Packers vs. Giants -4 (wind chill -24)
7. 12/3/1972 Metropolitan Stadium Vikings vs. Bears -2 (wind chill -26)
8. 12/10/1972 Metropolitan Stadium Vikings vs. Packers 0 (wind chill -18)
9. 12/26/1993 Lambeau Field Packers vs. Raiders 0
10. 1/15/1994 Ralph Wilson Stadium Bills vs. Raiders 0 (wind chill -32)
Chicagoans to urge Kaepernick to stand for anthem at Soldier Field
(CHICAGO) Several Chicagoans will rally Saturday morning to urge San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to stand for the national anthem when his team plays the Bears this weekend at Soldier Field.
The rally is planned for 11 a.m. Saturday in front of the Police Memorial at Soldier Field’s Gold Star Park and is expected to include several Chicago Police officials, including former superintendent Phil Cline and Fraternal Order of Police president Dean Angelo Sr.
Kaepernick has made headlines for kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality. He donated to the local chapter of the Black Youth Project 100 in November, the Sun-Times reported.
“While we respect Colin Kaepernick’s right to express his views, we asked him to be sensitive while at Soldier Field to the sacrifices made by those who defended his freedom, and their families,” said James Balcer, a retired alderman and Vietnam War veteran who is organizing the rally.
“Not standing during the national anthem on these hallowed grounds would be disrespectful and hurtful to thousands of families who lost loved ones,” Balcer said.
