While not really my job, but it is related. The other night (last Thursday night) there was a "riot" at the juvenile detention center here in town. 10 juvies went nutso on the staff there. All 5 staff members were injured, ranging from a broken arm to concussions (4 staff ). The fifth sta...

I get the tackles. We called it an ohlay tackle.

I should have been more clear. This technique doesnt seem to cause injuries. It's a completely natural move. Why would they ban it.

What's with this hip drop tackle talk. I keep seeing it talked about.

First, he could be sanctioned if any of the parties were to take action and make contact with is Chief Judge. Not sure that will happen. Really there are only the transcripts to go off of. With regard to calling the offender by the wrong name, he could claim ignorance on that. The decision can be a...

https://x.com/brettkollmann/status/1770537734026989605?s=46&t=sk0p8Tq4Tdv7hHrajOLkSw WOW I hope this is true and not some PR stunt. This would alleviate SO many concerns about his locker room / teammate vibe! Yes it would, but it also feels like a tall tail. If anything I'll tale it as true bec...

I don't think the "experts" really know anything more than most educated sports fans as the NFL draft has proven time and time again - a complete crapshoot guessing game ... if they are as they claim, why would they need 15 different mock drafts to display this alleged expertise? sure, th...

I have. Back when I use to make a big board. It continues now though with who I think the bears should have drafted. I do it in Google sheets. https ://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11FTEr47n98ePAs5p0HI_2N4gGDpctbDdIgKu11PTbuk/edit?usp=drivesdk I have kind of fallen off on the actual gradings amd o...

Yeah that's pretty true. My thinking is more the roster during 2006 or 2010 were much more complete. Even with QB issues. Perhaps I am wrong. The current roster is formidable, but definitely still not ready to be annointed as a playoff team (with a rookie qb). Yeah, agree. I trust poles will find s...

Playoffs... it's a long time from now to then. Yes on paper there is a lot to like about this roster. 2 key injuries and that paper tiger isnt so scarey. Especially with a rookie QB. William's could be the next great QB, but even the greatest have a learning curve. Poles has done an admirable job. ...

Jesus Chris dude, I'd like to think you are better than this. I thought you were better than turn coating on a guy you loved in the way you did, so I get the disappointment. In football I value players with high character, guys I can root for. CW just gives me a punk bitch vibe, and I’m really unce...

I kinda like this guy

@ri@RichH55[/me RichH55 I dont know what that says. It seems like you need cigarette and a beer. As someone that agrees with you on the Fields thing. It's okay to be right and it will play out that way. No one including me is happy he wasn't the goods I just hope some people man up as bad things we...

I honestly doubt many can be the man he outwardly displayed here. That's one thing he was spectacular at. Yep he was a high pick in my character only league - I went with the Army Ranger who adopted two kids and volunteers at the soup kitchen - He also can't throw over the middle Ha. Well he could ...

Justin and Poles both very gracious, I appreciate that. I was obviously wrong on the whole “keep both qbs” argument. My Steelers friends are ecstatic, none of them want Russ to play lol. Fields took the high road and has set a high standard for our next QB to meet in terms of work ethic, profession...

But I'm sure surprised he had less value than Mac Jones. He's a better QB.

The market doesnt think so apparently. I'm very suprised by the return. Even Fields detractors over rated his market value.

I think that speaks volumes of our biases as fans.

Wow we severely overestimated his value.

Good luck to him. Generally seemed like a good dude. Always want those types to succeed.

I think the bears believe this class is poor and that they are just opening the window.

Maybe not a super bowl window but a window to not be on the hot seat any time soon.

This is old news. Caleb didn’t necessarily “cancel” - they’re rescheduling for after USCs pro day. https://gridironheroics.com/caleb-williams-cancels-visit-chicago-bears/ Its wierd but also makes some sense. But it's still wierd. Honor your obligations. William's surely doeant make liking him easy....

Its wierd but also makes some sense. But it's still wierd. Honor your obligations. William's surely doeant make liking him easy. But if he wins no one will remeber the weird.

Just off my initial impression. It seems fair to both sides. I can't complain

The Mitch Morse thing confuses me a touch. I get Buffalo is in a bad cap situation. But if they planned on cutting him, why didnt they keep Bates as a cheap known replacement? Initially I thought it's a good move. However it may end up being less so. I still think it's an even trade and likely fills...

I can’t figure it out either. He’s not the most experienced, and he’s a little weird, but he’s really good at football. I'm willing to bet that he's not rated particularly low by NFL teams. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that the Bears were very high on McCarthy, nor would it surprise me mu...

100% based on what I’ve read scouts and pundits say. I don’t LARP and I don’t play YouTube scout make believe, I rely on what I read from experts. And while no one should assume they are always right because history and all, CW is talked about in a very different way than anyone else in this class....

After watching his presser (I was impressed, he came off far less douchy than I had imagined), and seeing him come in taller than 6'1 - I am getting very excited about possibly landing this kid. I'm not going full turncoat like G08, but once the die is cast I am not going to have a hard time jumpin...

I like many of the old uniforms. My daughter just bought 20 year old Jordan's. The old is becoming new again.

I think the best part of the older uniforms was the uniqueness. However the old uniforms like the bumblebee steelers are terrible

There’s nothing villainous about Caleb Williams. Mentally weak? Oh yeah. That’s the potential fatal flaw. Evil? No. The guy just has a personality which is fine. You boomers are so ridiculous. Any sign of emotional vulnerability and you write someone off. Fucking dolt Well objectively emotional vul...

I think I'm on the drake band wagon.
