BALTIMORE -- The Bears have landed at Baltimore's BWI Airport, nearly 24 hours after the team tried to leave. Now the Bears will bus to their hotel in the Inner Harbor, just blocks from the stadium.

Alex Brown tweeted: "Just landed in Baltimore safe and sound. We have a game in less than 15 hrs I better get some rest!"

The heavy storm in Baltimore has mostly stopped and there is nearly 20 inches of snow on the ground. Crews have been working to clear M&T Bank Stadium all day, and the Bears will play the Baltimore Ravens at 3:15 on Sunday.

Gov. Martin O'Malley has declared a state of emergency and deployed the National Guard to assist workers in Baltimore and elsewhere.

I have hard time reading your site with firefox, you would better update your site

If the team owners weren't so cheap they would have flown the team in early Friday. This weather was know on Thursday morning.

None of you fair weathered so called Bear fans have anything nice to say, do you? CESSPOOL!! You deserve everything you get!

Giggity giggity!

"Its not a disaster in any sense of the imagination."

I don't know, have you seen the Bears this year?

Its not a disaster in any sense of the imagination.

How is it they will be allowed to land, when all the airports in the area are closed? Do they open just for the Bears?

Geez, if I didn't know any better, I'd say the Bears get pounded tomorrow and have to spend the night sleeping in the hanger on the way back. That picture of Cutler looks like he just got caught trying to "help a goat over the fence" look about himself.
Please let's start a campaign to fire Lovie Smith!!!

Stupid NFL....why not just reschedule for Monday night? They've done that before. To ask a team to fly into a disaster zone is ridiculous. They shohuld just paly at Miller Park.

The Bears are airborne. Watch them get intercepted again.

If they are delayed any further and don't make it to the stadium in time, it won't be the first time this season they didn't show up for a game.

Biggs Time!!! (god I hate the Score for ruining AC/DC's "Big Gun" for this goof's segment open) Biggs Story!!! Not!!!! This is what the Tribune envisioned when they too him away from the Sun Times...a compelling and rich story like this? Hey Brad, break the story on Lovie and his cast of clowns getting blown out the door...leave the weather to Tom Skilling!!

LOL @ This being a story.
