“And I said to myself, this is the business we’ve chosen...” Bell’s deal is $14.54 million. Thomas’ is $10.4 million. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be making more but they are making some. They should have pursued baseball.

I don’t know.  You stated yourself that two offensive linemen aren’t even blocking anyone.  If they would have executed it better it could have worked.  No dog in this fight but I’m not a big fan of second guessing one single play call.  Any number of plays earlier in the game could have made this play a kneel down.

To be fair the Bears aren’t a bad team. Their offense has been unproven but they have at worst an average offensive line and a solid rushing attack. Toss in a top 10 defense and playing at home and this isn’t as bad as it looks. Don’t get me wrong, it’s bad loss for them but it’s not like The Little Sister’s of the…

I love Watt but to be fair he did kind of stretch the truth when it came to him describing his home as some cabin in the woods.  All things considered it’s a pretty insignificant slight against him but I feel the need to share for a full picture of the guy.

I both love and hate football.  Sadly the hate seems to be growing and the love seems to be fading.  As not just a father but as a good human being, or at least someone who aspires to be, it sure is getting harder.  The illusion has been dispelled and nostalgia isn’t enough to sustain it.  It sucks in so many ways.

I don’t know why we aren’t fighting back?!?  Global warming hates America and thus freedom.  What we should be doing is sticking up for ourselves.  We start by nuking the atmosphere for failing us.  That both teaches them not to mess with us but also starts a nuclear winter.  America and thus the world wins.  Your…

So honest question here.  I feel like I’ve read that Seattle, Denver, and Baltimore all were options for backup positions and that he chose not to pursue them (or in the case of Baltimore they pulled back the offer).  Is this true?  I feel like my old man memory may be failing me but I could have sworn Pete Carrol…

Everyone is talking about a young man dying but what about how many wins Coach Durkin has brought to the program?!?  Since 2016 he’s 6-7 and 4-8.  10 -15 might not sound great but if it wasn’t for his hardcore approach they probably would be 5-20.  People need to remember what’s important here is a modest increase in…

To be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually make the vendors buy tickets in order to come to work. They are technically attending a game after all.

Nuanced opinions are difficult.

To be fair he was given $3 million guaranteed.

That’s not true.  He’s got $3.5 million in guaranteed money from the Bills.  Fuck off?  Wow.  Clear blue skies my friend.

Gosh, not knowing all the details it’s hard to pass judgement on the guy but on a certain level this feels really wrong. I’m fine with players calling it quits but if you sign a contract and show up and dress for a game you should finish it if you aren’t injured.  Like I said though I don’t really know what was going…

I place the blame on the offensive line.  Five lineman can’t block two rushers?  The play was probably for him to throw a very high arching pass that would give him time to run down field and catch it.

Even as a Bear’s fan I feel like the Packers got a bad break. To be fair, this rule was put into play because of Rodgers but still this is an impossible penalty to avoid and shouldn’t exist.  I honestly feel like football is trying to make me walk away from it.  It’s like the Devil betting God that Job will lose faith…

Whatever.  As a Bear’s fan I’m glad the Bears traded up to get Trubisky rather than stay put and get Mahomes.  Throwing TD’s is just one aspect of being a NFL QB.

Sigh. Clearly there are other aspects involved like a failure to communicate with one another. I love D&D but my lovely wife of 11+ years wouldn’t just leave me without having some kind discussions with me about it if it ever became an issue. She, just as I, want each other to be happy happy, and the knowledge that…

I love boxing and have followed it for decades but it’s less of a sport than a spectacle. Yes, there are legitimate fights where both sides want to win but there are far too many where the decision is “predetermined.” To answer your question I think boxing doesn’t care. Controversy allows for a second or third fight.…

Even in the trade they couldn’t help themselves and they sent a 2nd round pick to the Bears too.

So are you saying I should be sending my kid to school rather than home schooling her with video games and movies?  What’s next, Abraham and Turkey Sandwich Lincoln didn’t hunt vampires?
