After seeing Ryan Poles basically do what past Bear general managers have done by trading down for more picks, you would guess that history is repeating itself. But will it actually be different this time? My guess is no and I’ll give you one reason: He drafted a punter with one of the picks. They already have Pat O’Donnell. Why waste one of the picks on another one?
The Bears also drafted some players for the secondary. Are they actually bright enough to know how to cover a receiver? That seems to have been an issue for the last, I don’t know, 30 years. Fuck.
Discuss.

Let’s see what the coaching staff does with them.
Let’s see if they show up to training camp in shape.

I’ve got something I need to get off my chest, and now is the time to it.
I am becoming massively discouraged and disillusioned with ALL Chicago sports teams. The fucking Bears have been a joke for the last 25 years. The only reason they went to the Super Bowl in 07 was because nobody else in the NFC felt like going. They’re a 100 years away from going to another one. The Bulls are only better because they finally hired an actual coach in Billy Donovan. They still need a ton of players. The Blackhawks are in full suck ass mode. I’m glad I am not much of a hockey fan. The Cubs? Jesus fucking Christ. Where the fuck do I start? Jed Hoyer hasn’t got a fucking clue of what he is doing. He is no Theo Epstein, that’s for sure! They traded away the core of the World Series team for shitty returns, they haven’t hit worth a goddamn since the bullshit Chili Davis debacle, pitching has steadily gone downhill since the World Series win, with no replacements in sight. And why the fuck is David Ross still on this goddamn team? This idiot can’t manage a goddamned little league team! The Cubs are going nowhere fast. If anybody thinks guys like Frank Schwindel, or Patrick Wisdom are decent replacements for Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant, they have no business even thinking about baseball, let alone analyzing the game. Fuck the White Sox. Never been a fan of them. I don’t like soccer, nor do i like women’s basketball. What’s left? not much. Good thing I’ve still got motorcycle racing, I guess.
My point in this rant is just what in the hell do we have to look forward to in Chicago sports? In my opinion, I seriously don’t think the owners of any of these teams gives a flying fuck about us, or about winning. I’ve about had it with all of them. I’m sick and tired of giving a fuck about them.

Feel better soon Chucky. I follow the Sox enough to know the manager is single handedly screwing that team up also.
Bears secondary players do not need to cover a receiver, they will be a cover 2 team under the new coaches.
I never say a bad word about a draft pick from San Diego State. A very innovative offensive system but he will probably be a guard not tackle. Of course, the Bears staff is NOT innovative so his progress will probably end in a season.
I’m throwing all my attention to women’s beach volleyball and poker.
I still encourage all of you to follow the Colts. At least they know how to run the damn ball.

One of these days I’ll start a new Cubs thread…NOT today.
