Kadarius Toney getting in on the action:

i'm old enough to remember when multiple sources were saying Harbaugh wouldnt go anywhere that wouldnt draft JJ McCarthy. This shit is lazy connect the dots fantasy and I think if you want to believe it you will. /shrugs

Two thoughts: 1) Who's ready to trade Stevenson in the offseason? 2) Does this mean Poles whiffed on character concerns yet again? I don't believe these guys are like Antonio Brown level character concerns, just dudes who need a strong hand to keep them in line, which it turns out Flus did not poss...

Oh man, that first Eddie Izzard HBO special was so fucking good. There are a number of lines in it that are stuck in my head forever, and “Hello, what do you do? You’re a plumber? What on earth is that?” is one of them.

I hate the idea personally, if you know what a meddlesome dumbass bezos is with the washington post, this would probably be very similar. He'd just be another David Tepper "i'm rich therefore i'm a genius" schmuck. Hate to tell you this - It's gonna be a Rich Guy That poor Irish Potato fa...

And Bengals fans fucking hate Zach Taylor, so I'm sure they'd be happy if we took him off their hands. His situational acumen is Eberflusian.

I am still rooting for Brown to take hold and make this his job, but if he fails, I like guys like Stefanski, Zac Taylor if they're let go, also like Brady and others but a name that hasn't been mentioned is one I like very much and that is Wes Phillips. The job he and O'Connel are doing this year ...

My list Vrabel- Reminds me of Tomlin in his approach..players love him and the lazy players hate him, exactly what we need. Had balanced and disciplined teams that overachieved in TN. Gruden- Brings passion to the locker room and demands respect. SB winning coach that we can trust with the details ...

Jeff Bezos rumored to be buying @Rusty Trombagent's sex change operation

Jeff Bezos is rumored to to have paid for @Rusty Trombagent's previous sex change operation.

I'm nothing if not indecisive.

I hate the idea personally, if you know what a meddlesome dumbass bezos is with the washington post, this would probably be very similar. He'd just be another David Tepper "i'm rich therefore i'm a genius" schmuck.

man i just dont see belichick going through the grind of recruiting every year. that seems so weird.

lol, so easy to start a rumor that's "Jeff Bezos rumored to be buying ____."

Well I think the jury is still out on whether Poles deserves to be fired. I wouldn’t say anything was certain. He didn't deserve to be fired last year when all of this was happening (or not happening - depending on who you believe). Man, last offseason Bears fans were ready to erect his statue righ...

The thing about dudes like this throwing bullshit at the wall, if someone in the know truly chose now to leak this, what motive would they have? Who does this benefit?

So if neither draft nor FA can fix it, should we just quit and retire the franchise?

You have to do a Ryan Pace style trade or two

Flag planting is sort of a representation of where we are as culture. It's all just boring to me. One team plants flag: "Why they gotta do all that shit! It's unsportsmanlike! Just shut up and play!" Leading to the response: "If they don't want the flag planted, then they should have...

There’s a timeline in the universe where I believe Emery/Trestman could have succeeded if they hadn’t been saddled with an aging roster that hated them just because they weren’t Lovie Smith. Actually, I should say "I agree, minus Emery". I think a better scenario, but being stuck with him...

Hey where is John DeFilippo these days? Dude has fallen off the face of the earth. He was a darling for awhile and nothing materialized. He's head coach of the UFL's Memphis Showboats. He had his moment, and apparently it passed in a big way. Weird that being an offensive coach for the Bears someho...

I am so sick of hearing about David Montgomery. The guy didn't want to be here, and the only way he would have stayed, I think, was if the Bears dramatically overpaid for him. The framing of "he let Monty walk for Swift" is horribly disingenuous. RB is one of the least concerns I have wit...

Silly question, but do they rework his contract or does he stay with the pay he had? Seems like it's the latter, the DC would now be making more than the HC. That's a random thing I've been wondering! What exactly are the pay logistics for this type of scenario? It's a little weird how secretive th...

To be clear, I don't have any particular complaints about Brown. The upgrade in the offense the last couple games is mildly encouraging. But VIRTUALLY EVERYONE who comes in as HC or GM is greeted with "X - I love it!", "It's so great to finally have a guy who gets Y", "Afte...

Poles isn't a small guy and 40something isn't that young. But, sitting next to Warren, he looks like his college age son who's been thoroughly chastised and is being led, in tow, to apologize to someone at Dad's demand. :-P HEY 40SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY SUPER YOUNG AND ALSO MY HAIR ISNT THINNING IM G...

Bears likely would be better than that imo. Caleb would have gotten off to a much faster start - they likely beat Houston, Indy, Washington, Green Bay, Minnesota, Detroit and likely do not come up completely disinterested against a bad New England team. This is the ultimate in wasted in seasons imo...

Yes, he would be fired by now if he coached the Bears. Repeat and rinse.

What is this belief based on?


Have Bears fans ever turned on a HC in 1 year?

Hey, 5 minutes ago they'd never fired a coach mid season. It's a brave new world.

Fields will be a free agent next season, we'll see if anyone is even interested in him as a starter for vet minimum.

Sun-Times puff piece was good. Also I winced at the thought of getting my groin ripped off the bone. I don't even know what that really means.

Dan Campbell still makes asinine in game decisions - but when they fail he 100% owns them. I don’t think Dan Campbell is a ‘great’ coach. But he is a good coach and good leader who has surrounded himself with high quality assistants and doesn’t have so big an ego that he can’t take responsibility f...

That's kind of the funny thing about this all. I don't think anyone was in the bag for him, but some of us rode with it and tried to give him a fair shake, and some chose to try and read failure in every bit of minutiae to feel validated. Who fucking cares! My overarching thought was that it wasn't...
