Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

What awful news. Most mornings, I wake up and put The Score on while getting ready for the day. This morning, I find out within a minute that Les Grobestein had passed. The dude was a walking encyclopedia when it came to Chicago sports. It’s a shitty day today as a legend has left us.

I remember Grobber in the early/mid-2000’s being on CLTV Sports Page on Sunday nights. In today’s age, sports talk is everywhere and it’s oversaturated. Back then, there was that nightly show that I did everything I could to watch. Grobber was on the round table at times on Sunday nights. This dude knew everything about Chicago sports. He knew the dates of those games and what happened in them without any hesitation. It was unbelievable.

I called him to let him know the Bulls were basically frauds back in 2011. Les got myself and many more through horrible nights on The Score for the last 12 years or so.

There will never be another like him. Grobber will forever be missed.

Don’t worry. If the Bears hire a piece of garbage for a head coach, his name will go up at the header as well. That’s what happened four years ago after Matt Nagy promptly blew a huge lead as the play-caller for the Chiefs in the playoffs that cost them the game. The Bears literally hired him within a week or two after.

Ted, do everyone a favor and fuck off. You’re better off taking inventory at Costco.

I am very busy today with work and am currently listening to the shit show press conference by George McCaskey. And yes, Ted Phillips was confirmed to be involved in the hiring process for a general manager and head coach.

Fuck this franchise. Your thoughts in the thread.

For the love of God, George, fire everyone.

I didn’t see this report until Chucky posted it in the previous thread.

Seriously? We’re going to find out just how stupid he is on Monday. Fuck this guy and the entire franchise that I’ve followed for 30 years. Fuck.

The march to the demise known as the 2021-22 Bears is nigh. Your thoughts on this game in the comments.

On Christmas Day, I was able to watch the John Madden documentary on FOX. I made it a priority to do it that day and not delay it.

When the previews were going on the weeks leading up to it, I legit had a feeling something was off. This documentary could have been made a decade ago. Why now? Was Madden sick and they wanted to celebrate his life? It just seemed insane. Like they wanted to show appreciation for him while he could see it.

Then, a few days later, he left the world. I could not believe it.

My memories of him were seeing him on TV and of course, the video games. I’ve played nearly every game since ’94 and buy the new version every year. After seeing that documentary, I realized I took all of his work for granted. It’s just insane. There won’t be another like him. When he was on TV, what comes to mind are games involving the Cowboys, 49ers or Packers. Of course, the Bears sucked ass and therefore, Summerall and Madden didn’t call many of their games growing up. But the times they did, it was a treat.

Everything he did was iconic. When Super Bowls are discussed, the image of him being lifted up after the Raiders won in 1977. Talk about an image that is remembered forever.

The football world will never be the same.

No recaps for the rest of the season, my frendts. Nothing to play for, as it usually is around this time of year. Justin Fields is hurt again. It didn’t have to be that way if he was just benched a few weeks back like he should have been. And now, Foot Long Foles is out there like it should be.

And while I am at it, Fuck Roger Goddell and his idiotic idea of 17 games in the season. I know, I’ve said that before. It needs to be repeated.

Your thoughts in the thread for those who are watching.

I try my best to wish everyone well, especially around the holidays. With all that’s going on in the world, your support here is much more appreciated.

None of this is taken for granted.

Also, here’s to the prayer that Ted Phillips, Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy are all given the boot.

Seriously, can someone tell me what redeeming football qualities does Ted Phillips possess that allows him to stay as the PRESIDENT OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS?

I’ll await answers in the thread.

Fuck this team. I’m missing a game for the first time in years. I’m in Milwaukee for Monday Night Raw instead. Yes, Raw is utter trash and I’m choosing that over the Bears. Let that sink in.

I may watch some of this game on my phone. But there won’t be a recap. Throw in your own thoughts if you desire.

FIRE TED PHILLIPS. FIRE RYAN PACE. FIRE MATT NAGY.
