This right here.

I wish people would let the “Cheap McCaskeys” trope die.

From Khalil Mack to Ian Cunningham, it simply doesn’t hold water anymore.

The press conference will be live at noon at: https://www.chicagobears.com/

This works for me!

Love this draft. This would make me very happy.

I am officially out of the "My Guy" business. Last year, I was ALL IN on Adetomiwa Adebawore (AA). I even had some folks on the board swayed. I just KNEW he was going to come into the league and light it up. And if we didn't draft him high, we were gonna miss out. Dude got drafted in the F...

... We’ve seen nothing like that from Williams to date - in fact, just the opposite. He’s been attending the Quarterback Collective, in part under the tutelage of Shane Waldron, to get a head start on running the Shanahan/McVay offense. An overconfident player likely doesn’t do that. Nothing report...

I could be dead wrong but I get the sense that he has enough EQ to understand how and when to put his cockiness to work. Make no mistake, this is a team full of pros and they will push and haze him until they feel he has earned the right to be cocky. I know one thing — NOBODY wants to go to war with...

If you have an hour, I’d highly recommend watching this Caleb interview on the Pivot … with Fred Taylor, Channing Crowder and Ryan Clark. https://youtu.be/JsczrmkO-Yc?si=ACUvlVW2bIeR6eBX Really get a good sense of his leadership style, personality - how he reacted to the Fields trade, etc. He’s got...

Let's all admit that so far it's just talk. Good talk, optimistic talk, but talk nonetheless. I can recall hearing much the same from every top draft pick the Bears have had during my years as a fan and many top picks of other teams as well. When it finally comes down to I'm not gonna tell you what...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsczrmkO-Yc I don’t usually have time to invest in long form interviews like this but these guys are good at what they’re doing. (If you want to LMAO for quite a while, check out the one they did with Kevin Hart.) More importantly, this one is worth the time investme...

Boy, I can tell by all of the restless energy around here that next Thursday night is going to be BIG!!!



Are we going to have the discord open?

I think CBS should hire the howler monkey you reference ... some chimp randomly banging on a keyboard could create something more sensible than the shit this choad just puked up on their behalf Howler Monkeys? Did someone say Howler Monkeys??? ht...

It's my understanding that Nabers is basically a Moore clone (not a bad thing mind you) and he's 6'0". Odunze is taller at 6'3". I like the idea of the taller receiver because it's a compliment to Moore. I would be elated with either one. Co-signed How do you like this for a Receiver corp...

Odunze is my 3 of 3, but Steve Smith is wrong. Rome had a 75% contested catch rate - by far the highest of the Big Three. Agreed. I get that Steve Smith played in the league but almost every evaluation of Odunze speaks of his physicality, strength, and ability to win against DB's. Maybe Smith doesn...

Brett Kollman just released his WR big board (annoyingly in PDF form) this morning and has Odunze 2nd in this class, in the same tier as MHJ. (Nabers is third, but in the second tier). https://i.imgur.com/7dbr8Cm.jpeg Regarding Odunze, this is a small thing but it really stuck in my head. It’s a qu...

The Bears wouldn't lose that much more revenue if they went with AH and the taxes the school districts want. I figure Warren's playing high stakes poker. Save and excepting a downtown plan is developed showing significant revenues flowing to the Bears, I don't see how they can walk away from AH. De...

https://x.com/Chicago_NFL/status/1777483936718803166 This is really interesting Food for Thought. One of the things Poles said to McAfee a couple of weeks ago (in response to RG3’s asinine comments) is that he and his braintrust were hired to “Break a cycle.” One could identify that cycle as “load ...

… The bottom line is that JF himself did not show enough for us to pass on drafting CW … This is it in a nutshell. It would be different if CW were not such a highly regarded prospect. Whether or not you agree with the “generational” tag, CW is just too good to pass on. I’m the world’s biggest tOSU...

Don't overdraft for a position of need when there are far better players still on the board. Theres something to be said for this. Top 10 talent is top 10 talent. We have two opportunities to pick blue-chippers, so that’s what we ought to do. Let’s go BPA. We don’t know the next time we’ll be picki...

With the Bears or with Wash, Sweat has been between 64-70% of the snaps in all 5 of his years in the league. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SweaMo00.htm Looking at the O or D as a whole, instead of by position, is a fair argument. Although I would counterargue that the biggest pro...

Supposedly a fight has broke out in AH over the Bears' plans. Folk are screaming at the school districts asking if they're willing to forego tax revenues which, although maybe not as big as they'd desire, would still be larger than almost any other development(s) on the property and allow for signi...

It’s pissing me off seeing several ESPN heads saying they have Daniel’s as the best QB. That is all. the fuckers this morning were asked who might be like houston this coming season. the pricks said washington with their new qb blah blah blah. fucking fuckersss. die!!! Okay, otis . Tell us how you ...

All-time stupid move right before a draft. Teams maybe including the Bears probably sorry they didn't draft a guy for smoking grass, something not exactly unknown among NFL players. Yeah - In retrospect (with weed now legal in most places) , this is a great big nothing-burger. That was definitely a...

If I was making the call for the Bears, I think it has to be AH. They get to own the stadium and all the revenue that comes from it - Final 4, Super Bowl, Disney on Ice, etc. They also get to develop the land how they want and reap those profits - sell land a a crazy high price to hotels or enter i...

For once, we have smart, visionary leadership that’s making BOSS LEVEL moves. It's WWAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too soon to be confidently claiming something like that. Totally disagree. Just off the top of my head, this regime has: 1) Brought in real football people. 2) Gotten us out of salary cap hell. 3) Re...
