Nostalgia, when probably like half the fan base isn't old enough to really remember his playing days. and his playing career was pretty short. i had no idea he tore up his knee in the SB and that was what ended his career, apparently.
-
I really doubt Frazier is going to happen. This is how it would probably play out if it did, but I see it as more of an irrational worry for me. I won't rest easy until someone else is hired, because Bears, but looking at it objectively, I just don't think he'll come out ahead given this candidate pool and (as you pointed out) how he compares to almost everyone else.
-
I wonder if this is the situation Rose was in (IIRC) where he can either remove it and come back sooner or repair it and take a lot longer. Or maybe it's so minor that rest is all that's required.

I think the obvious argument is to just get a slice* of cake with a side of shake. Bite then sip. Repeat. Can even mix it up with vanilla shake then. *or the whole cake. Get the whole cake. My bro-in-law will go get the full cake through the drive through for his son's bday cakes and they apparently frequently act amused and I'm thinking he can't be the only person rolling up to the drive through getting a whole cake. Maybe it depends on how much other stuff you order? Like they obviously expect it with catering. But I've definitely had it at family or friend functions where the rest of the food was not Portillos, so is it really that rare for people to get like just a cake or dinner for one plus a cake? i've definitely gotten a full cake at the drive thru also, not a big fan of the cake shake. the clogged straw thing is obnoxious. to me, the must order item is a beef (not that it's one of the best ones around, but it's fine).

It sounds like this might be the reason we heard about a few guys signing on with Boras -
i'm as open minded as it gets as far as being willing to believe these guys may have real sources sometimes, but lambert/sports mockery ain't it. that guy definitely just makes horsefeathers up. take it with a huge ass boulder of salt.

He's a Bills fan and trying to be cute
-
i dont remember that, what was it about? Before the season in a season preview piece he said he'd eat his laptop if the 2005 Bears won the NFC North. https://sports.yahoo.com/news/read-react-last-call-020000907--nfl.html

Am I the only one who still thinks of the "I'll eat my laptop" line about the 2005 Bears when they see Charles Robinson's name pop up somewhere?
-
The primary reason he's gotten hype as a coach is because he put up two winning seasons with horrific rosters.
-
The Bears aren't speeding up their process. He's responding to a bunch of angry fans saying the Bears better hurry up because the Giants have their finalists.
-
Pretty sure he means the latter. To me it reads as a response to what people are saying in his mentions and around Bears Twitter.
-
Yeah, I mean, I saw him missing targets by like 10 yards at the NFL skills competition and didn't think Lamar Jackson would ever be a remotely viable NFL QB obviously was extremely wrong and probably shouldn't have based anything off of this lol
-
not even close. it's very common.
-
this is literally the only thing that matters tonight. could not possibly care less about the score.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting to read about some of the stuff we've wondered about for years. What a disaster organization lol. That said all it takes is the right hires at GM and coach and a lot of the issues are irrelevant Nagy is/was obviously terrible, there must have been some evidence of his deficiencies prior to hire? No? Really, does lend credence to the belief that Nagy was brilliant in the interview room but, unfortunately, not so much where it really counted - in the football room. If so much weight is put on the interview as opposed to the body of work I do not know if they'll get it correct. Why can't McCaskey just be removed from the equation? nagy had just presided over an offense wherein the chiefs were one of the best deep ball throwing (or best?) teams in the league with alex smith and got nothing but praise heaped on him by andy reid. he said he'd never had a better head coaching candidate on one of his staffs. the biggest on field red flag would've been the chiefs playoff game. but andy took the bullet for him on that one, IIRC. it was unclear when reid had him calling plays and when he called them himself that season. but he was one of the hottest young candidates around.
-
yeah he has missed an absurd amount of bunnies
-
Funny you say that because I saw this tweet today: Very cherry picked so it doesn't refute your point but I don't think he's been as bad as many think. He hasn't.
-
more jeff confirmation
-
pretty sure his connection is actually through Ted
-
Jeff is beating Schefter to scoops by several hours lol this is hilarious
-
Identity is an effect, not a cause. A lot of people get the direction of causality backward. It's kind of like the concept of self-esteem. Or (in the vast majority of cases) team chemistry.
-
For me, it's more about trying to suss out what their philosophies and strategies might be by looking for interviews/articles where they talk about stuff. (An example might be that Theo clip that went around where he went on the radio and talked about how RBIs aren't a good measure of a player - not that I needed any convincing on Theo). I want to know how they feel about analytics. Scouting vs analytics and how to blend them. How much do they value draft picks and what is their philosophy on trading up vs. down? What traits do they look for? How many guys do they want in the room? Etc. As others have mentioned, trying to figure out who is responsible for certain successes in a given organization is a fool's errand with the level of information we have on most of them.

I've seen somebody say, just yesterday, that the Bears need to stop trying to play like they play in a dome and run the ball and play D because the field is so bad. Like really? They play the damn Packers every year who's field is in a random neighborhood, 200 miles away from Chicago and is somehow 60 degrees colder on a normal basis, and they throw the ball all over the freaking stadium. (You're absolutely right, but the Packers have a much better playing surface than the Bears)
