The Beast

Paul Konerko has $1,000,000 on the payroll for 2021 but that was probably already planned for years ago. I was surprised to see that this morning.

Mark Levin’s op-ed has some factual flaws: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theblaze.com/amp/levin-on-january-6-we-learn-whether-our-constitution-will-hold-2649701271 The voters in Michigan changed voting rules, the legislature in PA made changes with the Governor the year before, PA Supreme Court judges were picked in 2015 and not in 2018 and his argument on Georgia is more of an opinion. He is not the ground source of truth like his followers must think he is. I guess he’s just pissed about the high turnout and giving people a chance to vote during a pandemic.

I could be sold on that idea, but tell that to the fans who want someone different in there.

Rami is dull and is another Parkins. Spiegs has a bunch of energy and has good baseball insights. They would be better served bringing on Spiegs and Rahimi, even though I wonder if she’s better on TV. Thanks for sharing what I missed!

I haven’t listened this week. Where did you read that? Would love Rahimi and Bernstein and Spiegel and Parkins.

Thank you for sharing this with them, we need more guidance in our high schools.

Yes, though I think I read them. Why not offer stimulus checks to those who demonstrate need instead of across the board? I still don’t know why I needed $600 and $1,200...

I don’t know. Quarterbacks named Brady and Prescott started and they weren’t first rounders. Why not have a kick ass offensive line and a quarterback that is above average at best if you can’t get a decent one in the first round?

Philly is about to find out...

Couldn’t they just draft a tackle and find their Jalen Hurts in the second round?

I think many have already addressed this but as we get closer, what are the predictions for the Georgia runoff? Who you got?

Follow Sweden’s example in the U.S. they said. It will work they said.

Well folks, he was bluffing and signed it: https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-nw-second-stimulus-check-updates-20201227-lcuwnmemifapxht4f7jcltmjmi-story.html

Next year doesn’t look better for the Bears in terms of the schedule - Brad Biggs pointed out they would play the Cardinals, Ravens, Bengals, 49ers, the Browns, Rams, Steelers, Seahawks, Buccaneers and the winner of the NFC East. That could help support the argument for blowing things up or staying the course, depending on how you look at next year’s schedule and the outcome of this year. At least they can clear some cap space by cutting Graham, extending Hicks, cutting Leno or Massie, reworking Jackson’s contract or cutting Skrine. Painful moves are definitely going to be made, though the Bears won’t be the only team to have to do so.

Adults can change jobs every 3-4 times on average but careers? How often would someone from business go to nursing and then go to another trained profession in a lifetime? Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. High school kids need to know what they are good at, what they have an aptitude for and what they are interested in so they know the careers that are available. Let’s say a kid is a journalism major, goes to school and finds out he doesn’t like journalism anymore or where the job market is. He switches to business and graduates. Then he goes and works at some job in business. He finds out that he has an interest in helping people and because he knew what weaknesses could be strengths in terms of coursework, he goes on to be a nurse. Wouldn’t it be better to know what you are capable of, have an interest in and an aptitude for before you go to college? Smart inventories or aptitude tests could at least offer some better guidance instead of floundering and trying on different shoes to see what fits. It might help better decisions being made sooner. Otherwise someone in the working world could have responsibilities and be fucked or slow to make a career change because of responsibilities. I’m probably off base but I do think better career assessments are needed earlier on for high school kids.

You also forgot to mention that if they made another change, it would be hiring both their fourth GM and fifth coach since 2010. Why would hiring another tandem right the ship? Also I was responding to “The Bears need a football minded person to be Pace's boss.” Not even a football mind as president and Pace or Nagy keeping their job would be enough for them.

And yet, this isn’t enough for some Chicago fans and some of the Chicago media. They want perpetual rebuilding and think more moves will bring them closer to a Super Bowl title.

That last 2 minutes was so Bears. Bad INT and interception with a fumble and Smith possibly being injured.

Lol they are letting Glennon beat them. Remember when Pace signed him for 3 years and 45 million?

As an education system and in society, kids and young adults need better assessments of their skills and interests throughout their young lives, taking inventory of all of the possible careers they could be interested in, taking inventory of their skills and weaknesses that could be developed to get them into careers. It needs to be done early and reinforced better throughout high school so that young adults know more about themselves when they are looking at colleges in majors, that way they don’t just pick something for the sake of picking something. Doing all of this would help young adults make better career choices. Even if you are going into a health care profession that requires a BS?

Right, so I don’t get why people want them to lose further. It’s possible George has already made up his mind with the losing streak and some late season wins won’t change his mind. Pace might be the one to go since his deal is shorter than Nagy. We’ll see. Who made THIS roster? (And for your argument who hired THIS coaching staff?) Why is THIS roster underperforming? Coaching alone? I call bull. This team probably can’t win THIS Super Bowl for a collection of reasons. And there are a lot of reasons you could argue for getting rid of Pace and Nagy but a lot of counter arguments that are ignored by members of this fan base (not you) who either just want to b****, have meatball thoughts about coaches like Ditka who get “fired up, care and win” or just want change. Good luck finding that change in a year of teams with lots of staffing needs and with revenue loss. I’m watching for pure entertainment purposes. We can’t do much anyway with COVID so we might as well be entertained.

Better get your Glennon and Rodgers jerseys on and start cheering then.

Can we all at least agree that with a new team president, GM, coach and Michael Reinsdorf that this team is irrelevant, they will sell assets and aim for the highest pick possible even though tanking does not guarantee the highest pick?

James Robinson is out tomorrow. Hopefully the Bears can make them one loss closer to getting Lawrence.
