The deal should have been done weeks ago. The Bears had no leverage.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Who cares? It's done now.

CRISIS AVERTED!

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Bob is a piece of work. It does not matter what happens he is going to bitch about it. If Williams signed on June 1st he would have been bitching about it being too early

If I'm wrong about Caleb then I will own it.

Bob is still mad about:

1934 "sneaker game" the Bears didn't change their leather cleats and the Giants did at half time. Defeating the Bears and ruining their undefeated record.

Ed McCaskey calling heads in 1969 to determine who got the first pick in the draft against the Pittsburg Steelers. Bob was recently heard screaming, "McCaskey, you bum, you can’t even win a coin toss!”

Pop-up ads. Bob still hasn't been able to figure out how to use an ad blocker.

Mad that he can't sell his collection of Betamax video tapes on Ebay.

His longest complaint that started as lil baby Bobby is what the fuck is the point of chewing gum if you can't eat it?

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Fans better be prepared for Williams to always take the route that will result in the most exposure. It will mean both Super Bowl victories and holdouts. He'll probably even take a political position no one appreciates.

It doesn't hurt to ask for it. The Bears would be insane to give it to him.

I would be open to negotiating an extension already.

This is going to be a great couple of decades to be a Bears fan. My kids aren't as young as I was in 1985, but they are still young enough to have that wide eyed enthusiasm that will make this next super bowl win a landmark in their lives.

Should be, 1 every 50 years or so is pretty damn historic.

The Brewers would kill for that success

Let's follow the Bears record over the next decade.

Is this the one?

But it didn't end there. After the Bears announced Williams signed his deal, Florio revealed Williams' camp made other attempts to help the rookie signal caller earn untaxed money.

According to Florio, Williams' camp attempted to convince the Bears to pay Williams as an LLC (Limited Liability Company). In Illinois, LLCs have zero income tax filing requirements, meaning Williams wouldn't have to pay taxes on his four-year contract worth $39 million.

Another attempt Williams' camp made was earning a forgivable loan, which would have resulted in "Williams getting the money tax-free until the loan was forgiven, as many as 10 years into the future," Florio reported.

The Bears, according to Florio, went to the NFL with both of these proposals, finding no evidence they were invalid in the NFL's CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement).

But the league nixed both of the proposals

The NFL told the Bears player's money can't go to a business entity other than the player, per the report. There was no reason given for why the league axed the idea of a forgivable loan.

The clauses Williams' team pitched could've been historic. No rookie NFL player has ever notched a clause in their first deal to exclude the prospect of a franchise tag from the future. And no player has ever been paid in the form of an LLC or through a loan

I've seen hundreds of dicks in my life.
