Yes, he's saying he believes in the rebuild and the job that Pace is doing. Doesn't he have to say these things?

He's a seasoned veteran at not answering questions.

They have not contacted any potential candidates because "we wanted to give this day the respect it deserves". WHAT ?????

I can see why they extended him. Perfect for this organization.

And did anyone hear? Ryan's "excited"!

Dan is very disappointed in today's outcome.

Pace did not win the press conference. He is very annoyed.

The is the first time I can remember Laurence pushing back against Bernsie.

Aren't most GMs answering to ownership and basically telling them this is what we are doing?

The Bears are the only team who has a bean counter seperating GM from Ownership.

Ted Phillips is GM, Ryan Pace is lead scout.

When you think of their roles that way, which btw is the correct way, everything makes sense. The baffling way the Bears seem to do business isn't really that perplexing. They just have an extremely secretive and abnormal decision making process when it comes to personnel. The usual titles are meaningless when it comes to the Bears, with a series of stooges assuming "important" roles serve only as fodder to a pitchfork wielding fanbase when the (inevitable) failure comes. But the real culprits, the true incompetents, stay insulated in vague positions with little media exposure or prestige. In this way the Bears are very similar to a Reinsdorf team.

I come away feeling pretty good about Pace's football acumen because he does seem to be better than most at finding good players. When you admit that Pace has basically no input on big picture moves or the general direction of the club it strips away a lot of his supposed failures. Another team will be smart enough to hire him after Ted throws him in front of the bus and he'll do well when he's holding the keys.

What did Laurence say to push back against Bernsie?

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

Repeatedly challenged him on "Ted is just an accountant" narrative.

What was Dan expecting Pace to say today?

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

He's clearly more than that if he's involved at all in the coaching search, and that doesn't seem to be in question.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

It was clear to everyone but Dan.

So, after I move to Columbus next month, which Ohio NFL team would be less embarrassing to be a fan of than the Bears?

A few days ago, Dan said he thought Pace should be alone at the press conference and say, "I fired John Fox...it was my decision." Pace said exactly what Dan did NOT want him to say...that it was a collaborative decision.

I'm also disgusted by the utterly spineless media members that refused to ask even a single tough question.

And this is the bunch that used to talk about Bear Weather and now loves to trumpet how places like Green Bay have a lap dog media. When they arent telling each other how smart and great they are.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

It was clear to everyone but Dan.

He said the same thing today leading up to the press conference; guess his source isn't that great at all is it

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Browns have a seemingly competent GM now and have 4 picks in the top 40 or something ridiculous like that. Just go all in with the Browns.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I fairness to DB, I think he knew the truth but was perpetuating the lie to protect Phillips (who knows why...maybe he was Dan's source for news, maybe he goes to the same synagogue...).

The Bears are a Catholic organization, hiring heavily out of ND (where Phillips went). Wanny was beloved because he regularly attend mass.

The only non Christians I can remember in any position of power were Trestman and Cliff Stein.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Wanny was hired because he was the most sought after coach on the market when the Bears hired him.

Sid Luckman was the old man's most trusted adviser for years.

Didn't say why he was hired.

I'm glad you found a third.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Your premise is incorrect.

He was beloved for the same reason he was hired. Because he was the best and most popular candidate that year.

And Uncle Sid was the old man's guy for 40 years. So much for a Jewish guy having to be Catholic.
