@BradBiggs I’m sure you’ve answered this in the Trib or here on X, but what’s the cap impact if #Bears cut Gordon? What’s the most likely outcome of his confounding injury situation?

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@dcastella @BleacherNation Or at least move him down. Or maybe he can choke up just once instead of his long, full swing with 2 strikes. I’ve never understood his approach.

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@brendenmoore13 @AdamHoge Does the Guv’s choice of blue suit and orange tie think that’s going to sway a multi-billion dollar decision with no solid legislation to back it up? Nice try!

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@JohnSciambi Has there been a noticeable drop in trash-talking between dugouts and HP umpires thanks to ABS challenge system?

Should be, right? If you don’t like my calls, challenge me! 🤷🏼

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

How can #AaronRodgers feel “irritated” with #Steelers? He’s held them hostage through 2 offseasons. They’re trying to run a business and build a roster - you’re playing personal games!

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@ZachZaidman FUN FACT: Pretty sure they preserved home plate in its original location at the old Yankee Stadium.

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@ErikLambert1 At what price are the #Bears are back in on #Crosby, or has that ship sailed?

Do you believe the Bears actually offered two 1st round picks as reported by Rich Eisen?

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@ggabefootball Of course, but so are a lot of tweets 😉

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@ErikLambert1 Agree - If RP/BJ can find a gem like #Monongai in the 7th, no need to stretch up in the 1st for a RB.

If one of their top 2-3 Edge guys slips into the teens - or even top DT - then go for it. Otherwise ride the depth wave at those positions and maximize all of your picks.

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@AaronLemingNFL @ggabefootball Isn’t it a $10 mil/1 year deal? Or maybe it’s $5m guaranteed?

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@NFL Bad look for the #NFL not awarding compensatory picks for the PROMOTION of Ian Cunningham.

Totally violates the spirit of the “Rooney Rule”!

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@thescorechicago @grotesports Even more importantly, what would Virginia think?

Would this painful dance be dragging on if she were still alive or would she have forced a decision a year ago?

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@thescorechicago @BradBiggs AMEN! Biggsy is the voice of reason…AGAIN!

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@JacobRobinsonJD @FB_FilmAnalysis Enjoy your work in The Athletic but wondering why the WPMOY didn’t make your list of awards that were announced on Thursday night, or did I miss it?

Seems like that one should be at or near the top! 🤷🏼

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@RapSheet Thank you for referring to this as “the big one”. Players should be acknowledged for their on-field successes, but THIS award acknowledges who they are as people, by how they treat others away from the game. Congrats to Bobby Wagner and all of the team’s nominees.

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@chicagobars Pretty simple…

1) Does IL state govt want the Bears (and the domed stadium and all of the jobs and tax revenue they’ll generate) in IL?

2) If yes, what is the STATE willing to do to make it happen? #Bears have anted up and said they’ll do the stadium.

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@CRoumeliotis Thinking “long game” with the #Blackhawks, do you think they might be letting KD handle the drafting and foundation of the rebuild, then bring in a more experienced GM to “finish the job”?

A little like what the #Bulls did with Doug Collins and Phil Jackson?

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@dpbrugler You’re right - I should have been more specific. I was talking about skill positions excluding OL and DL. My bad!

[BRIAN W @SANOT85]

@dpbrugler I read your Top 50 and “Next 12” draft prospect rankings in The Athletic and I only count 16 offensive players out of the 62 names. Is this draft really THAT unbalanced toward defense?
