Realizing how little most of the posters actually know about football and why most of the football discussion here is akin to a bunch of teenage girls fawning over Taylor Swift at a Chiefs game.

The Claw will continue to add at least some actual applicable football discussion when he gets bored, but the responses here are predictable and expose the posters lack of football acumen.

If you do not possess a rudimental understanding of basic fundamentals, you will always be limited in your ability to process what you see on Sundays, the posters here prove that on a daily, no make that hourly basis.

Almost comical that a grown ass football fan cannot watch all of the players on a given play and understand the play design and how the play does or does not work, here is a hint for the dumbasses here, it has a lot to do with the abilities of the lineman.

Here is one to grown on for the tepid football thinkers, why is LT considered a skill position and why do they make so much money? Watch the Niners with Trent Williams and then without, or the Rams with Aaron Donald and without, thanks for your call.

We lose a lot of rights when we look the other way when it doesn't affect our lives or it isn't a cause we agree with.

Offensive and defensive line play matters in the NFL and has a big impact on the success of teams. Shocking insight. Teach us more please.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

I think we agree on most things. I do think there is this urge to completely diminish Ditka's contribution to those Bear teams <cough> Bernstein <cough>. Ditka wasn't Gibbs, Parcells or Walsh, but he was a good coach for the Bears.

I give credit to Finks to bringing in most of the players to the Super Bowl team. And I certainly give credit to Ryan. But if Finks would have found a good quarterback in the 70's, the Bears probably would have won a division title or two before Ditka. For a former quarterback, he was lousy in picking them for the Bears until McMahon was available, and who knows if Finks would have drafted a QB that high if Ditka and Halas didn't have a say.

Ryan was also here four years before Ditka, and they didn't win really anything. Ryan also would have kept Len Walterscheid instead of Dave Duerson. And I think Ditka pushed Ryan to replace
Jim Osborne with Steve McMichael. So Ryan wasn't infallible. And Ditka's offenses did move and control the football for the most part, which helped the defense. I think the four years under Armstrong, the Bears never finished better than 22nd in total yards on offense. From 1983 thru Ditka's last year, they never finished below 13th in total yards.

Vainisi was an accountant, not a player personnel guy. He was Ditka's confidant. Actually if McCaskey doesn't fire Vainisi at the end of the 1986 season, Vainisi may have convinced Ditka to handle the 1987 strike a bit differently, not be so pro Spare Bear.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Bears defensive lineman Dan Hampton has signed a four-year contract extension starting in 1986 that will make him one of the highest-paid defensive lineman in the NFL.

The four-year package agreed to Wednesday is estimated worth $2.7 million.

And drafting.

Taking nothing away from the McMahon injury....Mike Ditka is the only coach that could limit that roster to only 1 Super Bowl win. There is simply no excuse that they fell short in 1986 and lost at home to the Redskins. There's much about Coach Mike Ditka that I liked and admired, but it's quite obvious he got distracted by the fame and spotlight, as did a few of his players.

Bernstein must be very upset still about the election results, but it's coming across to me as a liberal looking for his safe space on left wing Blue Sky. Also think it's kind of pathetic that he now spends time on most shows talking up Blue Sky as how Twitter used to be (without the Nazi's) and spends time with the show guests congratulating them for making the move. To date, Blue Sky is where you go if you want to be alone, and in an echo chamber with moderation that is over the top

He mentioned on the air that he was trying to get the station to shift their social media there...seems like a big mistake if they moved there because he doesn't like Musk and the election results.

The way he promotes this to his guests and a few times on most shows...what a whiny penis.

Yes?

Watching the Bears is enough emotional torture but once the game is over, life goes on. But with the Score's extensive Bears coverage on every show, one is forced to relive the horror of the Bears latest flop. Who needs it? I listen to sports radio in a number of cities. As unintelligent as the callers and hosts are at WFAN New York, they have been talking baseball a lot in the weeks since their similarly awful football teams went under.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Dan talking about venturing to 83rd Street (83!!!) to hear gospel music and eat chicken cracklings.

He seems to listen to a lot of christian music.

Leila Rahimi's NFL thoughts are not getting better.

Is she not aware of how bad Borom is this season? She is arguing he should have started because he's a veteran, etc. and would be more prepared.

No awareness of how bad he has performed this season and that he was behind the rookie on the depth chart.

The rookie should have gotten more help, that was the issue, not that Borom should be starting because he has experience.

She then went on to lecture the "process" and tell "hard truths".

Brutal.

I thought is was Bernsie that was touting the need for veteran Borom. Anyway, WTF was he talking about when he claimed to be drinking Old Style and shots of Malort?

Did she "bring receipts"? After getting canned from NBC 5, (which has never been mentioned/explained?) she's taking any shift she can,
if I'm Harris, I'm getting more angry with each appearance she makes on his show.

Harris is just happy to have a gig like this in a major market. If he does not rock the boat he will be around for awhile. A decent dude, he does not seem to have attitude issues others at the station do.

Harris shows on Linkedin as looking for work which might be a reason to keep Leila for now

Dan is really going out of his way to praise Dan Campbell saying he's smarter than people think, his wife has a crush on him, and something he did during an on-field interview was adorable.

Dan saying nice things about Campbell is not something I expected to hear.
