With bigger needs on defense, the #Bears went offense with all three Day 2 picks and it's tough to quarrel with that. This is every player drafted in Rounds 1-3 in Ben Johnson's offense with the Lions and Bears. Not too many misses here:
Tomorrow night you’re gonna see beautiful blimp shots of Downtown Chicago high above a packed Soldier Field. You’re gonna hear a lot about “Bears weather.” You’re gonna hear jokes about “dome boy.” How Chicago has multiple reasons to have the home field advantage.
I understand the McCaskeys need their golden nest egg but I am gonna take our quirky, weird little stadium on the lake in January over that every time.
There is nothing like it in the NFL.
Today as the Dead faithful celebrated the life of Bob Weir, John Mayer delivered perhaps the only “Ripple” that’s ever made me smile-cry… Highly suggest.😔
I’ll typically take bad football over no football, but we cannot let the NFL go to 18 games. These last two Saturday slates + Christmas Day have felt like a chore.
Playing all four majors in 15 weeks is a true flaw of the golf calendar. Everyone needs more time to decompress. Tennis gets one in January/February, one in May/June, one in July, one in August/September. Much better spacing.
Anonymous Coaches' Comments on Indiana in Athlon Sports CFB Magazine
“IU is a case study for putting your money where your mouth is. They invested heavily in NIL and support. Cig [Curt Cignetti] is a fantastic coach, obviously, but he wouldn’t come without that commitment. That’s how they succeeded immediately.”
“I think they’ve improved the O-line enough to stay in games against top-level, physical defenses.”
“They’re leaning on the portal again in the secondary because they’re still a ways off on true, top-end depth for this league.”
“Everyone is asking who the next Indiana is, but there’s no real reason why it isn’t Indiana again. Will they win as many games? Probably not, but they’re going to be in the hunt for a playoff spot again.”
“Maybe the biggest culture change at a program in the history of the sport.”
