If in a year or two Mitch isn’t ready to lead, they have to be starting their fourth rebuild of the decade...right? Pace has already gotten to hire two coaches and draft his QB. If his coach can’t develop his QB into at least a no-doubt starter, everyone in that front office has to be gone. IMO Pace should’ve been out…

It’s weird to me that so many Bears fans seem more upset over a Bears win in which Trubisky looked shaky than they were about blowing a 20-0 lead the week before.

That bothered me too. Her education has absolutely nothing to do with her credibility.

It’s nearly as tone deaf as when men defend another man accused of assaulting and/or harassing women by saying “he’s always been respectful and professional with me.” Of course he has! You’re not a woman.

I was seriously confused as to why a middle-aged guy would be at a student housing complex in the first place...that makes sense.

Cruz is just insane...by Amber Guyger’s own account of what happened, she should be instantly fired and should be charged with, at the very least, manslaughter. This isn’t a case of an on-duty cop shooting a suspect and insisting that the suspect posed a threat (never mind how often those turn out to be essentially…

Sure, but with a midround linebacker or DB or RB you’d hope to at least get some value on special teams or see enough promise to keep a guy on the practice squad. Cutting a draft pick 2 weeks into the season means you wasted the pick.

This is why you never, ever draft a kicker (especially any earlier than the 7th round). If they’d used that 5th round pick on any other position, there’s a good chance they’d have someone who could at least contribute on special teams or be stashed on the practice squad to try to develop.

I don’t have any particularly exciting stories compared to some on here, but I do love road trips. When I was in college, I went to as many Bob Dylan shows as I could and drove to a number of places because of that. My favorite road trip memories from those experiences were, in no particular order: driving from…

I don’t think marijuana should be banned, either, but the fact is that Josh Gordon is clearly addicted and unable to stop using it even in the face of having a potentially lucrative career ruined. That’s a problem. He also apparently has some mental health issues (and maybe the weed is in part self-medication for…

Remember how the Giants’ QB was 37 years old, and not good, and not going to get better, and the Giants had a once-in-a-generation draft position, and did absolutely nothing to address the problem?

They can’t get past the simple fact that they’ve already admitted: that she was off duty and entered the wrong apartment by mistake. Obviously, even if she was there on police business and if the marijuana was actually his (which I doubt) it still wouldn’t remotely justify his murder, but the fact that she entered his…

I think the ban is totally off-base. First of all, texting during a meal is not going to bother anyone except perhaps your dining companions. It is no other diner’s business if someone chooses to be on their phone in a way that isn’t disruptive to others. Second, I can certainly understand why someone carrying on a…

It is entirely unfair, but with the vast body of research available indicating that names matter, and not just in politics, you have to wonder about the mindset of parents who give their kids exceedingly odd names.

Yeah...I know the Deadspin party line is that the NFL is always wrong, but I’m glad Kendricks is being allowed to play. Especially because guys who’ve been credibly accused of much worse crimes have not only been allowed to play, but often venerated by the league. And while I agree completely that Kaepernick and Reid…

You nailed it. To hear conservatives talk, all unions are like police/fire and can basically protect their members from any form of discipline no matter how deserved. But when it comes time to actually criticize a specific union, you will never see them say a word about cops or firefighters specifically...they’ll save…

No one should have a billion dollars. A billion dollars in the bank account of a single human in a world where poverty exists is a profound failure of politics and morality.

All of the criticisms about the way Bezos runs his companies and treats employees are so much more meaningful than “he only gave away $2 billion.”

Wouldn’t it be something if the Bears won the Super Bowl next season and the Raiders were the worst team in the league? That’s obviously unlikely, but even if the Bears merely make the playoffs there’s an excellent chance that the Raiders 2020 2nd rounder will be only a dozen or fewer picks lower than the Bears 2020…

I really enjoyed the BBQ bacon burger when they had it. I was incredibly disappointed when they changed it to a chicken sandwich (and kind of annoyed when they wouldn’t still make me the burger - you have burgers, you have the BBQ sauce and bacon; there’s really no reason to stop making the BBQ bacon burger).
