You are talking about a group of mostly public universities that get government funding. There was a lot of political pressure to shut everything down in the name of safety. Look at what happened with public school districts. There are parents that pay tuition and worried about their kids' health.

I never agreed with the decision and thought the SEC shoved it up the Karens' asses, but it is much tougher for the Big Ten to do that. Their states are not as red as the Big Ten.


No forgiveness for anybody involved. You probably would have pardoned Aribert Heim.

I expect the Bears to be borderline playoffs next year. If they don't make it in year 3, both coach and GM should have tight collars.

I expect that Warren will develop a short list of candidates for both jobs immediately, if he doesn't have one already. I'd think, very quietly, he would like the opportunity to hire his guys. My guess is that Eberflus, unless he is great, will be Warren's first target.


Fields and the rest of the young guys could become elite, but as of right now both the Giants and the Seahawks have more talent than the Bears. You don't generally make the playoffs a year after gutting the team.

Bears were 3-14 this season. They were 1-7 in one score games. Look at their schedule next year. They do well in the draft and free ajency, coupled with Fields and other guys improving, there are ~8 wins to be had in 2023. That's a boderline playoff team.

Completely agree, but that's not much a stretch. Head Coaches are often the sacrificial lambs. I don't expect Eberflus to get a second contract. I will be very curious on how long Poles lasts....or if they hire a football person over him.

Lebron tweeted his support for the hire.

We’re close to assembling a Mount Rushmore of the dumbest people in the world, all of whom love the hire.

If Lebrawn is for it, it will be a bad choice. Does the new Prez kiss China's ass?

Tomorrow LeBron will Tweet a picture of himself holding a Bears media guide that is open to page 1.

This guy is about a boring and fake as you can get.

Listening to the press conference midday was a torture, like hearing Priztker. He gave cliche answers to everything

Congratulations, Chicago. You got your woke, politically correct Bears President.

Wear your damn mask!

Like you actually give a fuck one way or another.

Win a Lombardi Trophy. Then win another. I couldn't care less about anything else this guy does or says.

Its definitely out there, but Bob doesn't care. He'll be here complaining about the Bears no matter what they do. If hearing "GEROGE FLOWYD" really bothered him that much, he would have given up his fandom.

As we build our team to metaphorically step on the necks of our opponents , Im reminded of the man who puts the Saint in Minneapolis / St.Paul, George Floyd...

In addition to purchasing new season tickets at Arlington, I hope Kevin lets me know where I can send the check to pay for my White Guilt

He took the job because Arlington Heights is close to his old job in Rosemont

Caller Bob's post about George Floyd is very misleading.

I don't really like having Poles report to him. He tried to politician his way out of saying who had the deciding vote when it comes to roster decisions. All that did was make it clear that it's him.

If Poles has to go him for contact offers, that's one thing. Warren is likely going to control the money more than Poles. As far as draft moves or trades or whatnot, it should be 100% Poles.

He positioned himself for this job. I'm okay with the Bears being a dream job. I thought there was too much Missourah talk. It made me itchy.
