@Gambo987 He has value. He won't lose or win games for you, which is what you can say about a lot of NFL starting QBs. Caleb seems indestructible, so he will rarely get in a Bear's game. Do him a favor a move him and get a quality draft pick in return.
@ErikLambert1 The Bears figured out that with refs not whistling the play dead as the pile moves, Tush Push gives a defender time to come from behind and grab the ball.
Last night I represented @afspil in a CNBC segment on the suicide of three CPD officers in 3 weeks. Suicide causes are complex, but police culture, firearms, insufficient mental health resources and work schedule burdens have created a dangerous situation.

Another violent weekend in Chicago. Five people dead and 60 others hurt in shootings across the city. The violence also taking its toll on the police as some officers say they’re sacrificing their days off and their mental health. @perryrussom reports.
As the segment notes, a new call center funded by federal money should result in most calls in IL being answered more quickly and locally, but we'll need state funding next year to keep from backsliding.
Good segment yesterday on @CBSChicago by @MeganHickeyTV on the transition tomorrow from the 10 digit Suicide Prevention Lifeline to 988, with some deserving shade on IL for its abysmal in-state answer rate. #988Lifeline@afspil@afspnational https://t.co/Cqj5f7n9Yp
San Antonio celebrated Dia De Los Muertos last weekend, with families showing that the dead are with us as long as we don't forget them. It was a perfect fit for the discussion of our son at my suicide prevention workshop there for the Christian Legal Society National Conference.
The 2021 #ChicagoMarathon is in the books. Our @RaceAFSP team members were still smiling as I took photos at mile 15. #stopsuicide https://t.co/nractpW6Lb
