Bottom Line on the Bears from Atlantic article

[corbi296]

There are 32 NFL head-coaching jobs in the entire universe. Maybe two or three come open every year. The starting wage is near $5 million. Of course people will line up for this job. Duh.

There are eight open head coaching jobs right now and the Bears are the destination of choice not only for the head coaching job but also the GM job. Oh those awful McCaskeys!

Thank you! I really hope you will come to St. Paul soon, so I can show you what fun really looks like. We will start with a poetry reading, then go to a lecture about how Norwegians settled Minnesota. Then on to a tour of Huntington Bank Stadium in February. You will need to bring your snow shovel. You are welcome to spend a night or two in my spare bedroom, although we may have to get up in the middle of the night to chase snowplows down the street for disturbing our sleep. In the morning, I'll make you my favorite Lutefisk and Lefsa scrambled eggs. This is gonna be so much fun, I can't wait!

1. It's true, casino's depress me.
2. Have you heard the expression OTTB? What do team owners do with retired baseball players?--They give them a retirement package. What do many race horse owners do with retired race horses?--They send them to kill pens to be shipped for slaughter in Canada or Mexico.
3. You got the liberal and St. Paul parts right.
4. It's the 21st century for god's sake--Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Renew.

Ummm…whack job was spot on too 🤷

What I have thought for a very long time.

"McCaskey remains in charge. He will ultimately pick the team’s new leadership but has done little to warrant confidence in his decision-making. “George says that he doesn’t meddle and that Ted doesn’t, but they do because they select, and they don’t realize it,” a former employee said. “When you’re the one making the decision, it’s just natural.”

The decisions made under McCaskey’s watch have resulted in 13 starting quarterbacks and zero playoff wins over 11 seasons.

“It all starts with the McCaskeys,” a team source said. “It starts with George.”

In any organization, the CEO has got to get one thing right almost to the exclusion of all others. And that is hiring the most qualified people that report to you. If you can't do that you will most likely fail. i was very fortunate (lucky) that I had an outstanding staff which made my job much easier. I could walk away and know things would be handled in an excellent way.

I assume you meant “The Athletic” and not “ The Atlantic” in your reference to the article. If The Atlantic were to publish a piece on the Bears, it would be several thousand words on how the McCaskeys are incompetent beneficiaries of wealth privilege, how the NFL corruptly exploits minorities and the labor class, how capitalist owners hold up municipalities for tax breaks with false narratives of economic development, and how night games should be abolished to reduce energy consumption.

Don't worry, once the sale of The Athletic to The NY Times is finalize the story will read the same as if The Atlantic were to write it.

What’s wrong with West Dundee, Santa’s Village. When I go to a game I can stay at my moms house!!!

Everyone should have an NFL stadium within 5 miles of their house, like me. Well, six miles.

You have an excellent grasp of the issues.

You are welcome to come to St. Paul with HJ, so we can put whack job to the test. What was this thread about again, anyway? Oh, Da Bears.

Yes, my fingers ran away from my brain.

Agree with your assessment of the Atlantic. Don't know why, when I typed that word, it didn't affect my computer with some exotic virus.

By the way, are you having buyers remorse yet?
