anybody else watch the Bears today? My god. And these guys are paid handsomely to catch footballs, without the distraction of classes, midterms, and downtown Evanston.
You think the Cats drop a lot of passes?

All of the Bears guys who are "paid handsomely" are out with injuries. Those guys who played today dropped a lot of balls but I think that they show quite a bit of talent despite today's performance. Best possible outcome, in my opinion. Get to know much about your roster but still lose to preserve draft position.
Was there.. What could have been an all time comeback turned into an all time letdown.
Just because your paid handsomely doesn't mean you have rich hands. They may not have Evanston to distract them but they do have places like Rush Street and Division Street.
No one, and I mean "no one", f***s up football like the Chicago Bears. The sheer variety and breadth of their ineptitude on any given Sunday is truly remarkable.
Excuse me, sir: have you seen the Cleveland Browns play during the past 17 years? Their freaking owner was nearly busted on fraud charges, and he's lucky the FBI doesn't investigate football fraud or he'd be locked up for sure. C'mon, they drafted Johnny MANZIEL in the first round and he could barely throw the ball 20 yards downfield!
The Bears don't hold a candle to that "organization"... although the Cutler long-term contract was an all-time bad deal.
The minimum NFL salary this year is $450,000... after one year of experience, it's $525,000, the next year is $600,000: https://www.spotrac.com/blog/nfl-minimum-salaries-for-2016-and-the-veteran-cap-benefit-rule/
If you were making that kind of cash at 22-24, please direct me to that company. I would like a job there.
If you don't care a f^ck about your body parts then that's your problem buddy.
So you're choosing to argue semantics about a figure of speech rather than the actual point of the post? Got it.
Good for you. I would have been terribly excited to make $450k out of school, and for me, that was law school. Glad for your 1% achievements.
I beg to differ. While the Browns have institutionalized bad quarterbacking decisions, the Bears have explored the depths of losing football games in all possible ways. We expect the Browns to be bad, and they deliver on that promise. The Bears however, find ways to remain mired in mediocrity while reading us with glimpses of capability, only to lapse into craptitude in creative and unanticipated ways.
