The Bears sure do suck, but that doesn’t mean you can’t watch the Bulls fighting for first place this weekend with a four-game winning streak and the Blackhawks doing much better despite only having four defenseman to play with. Corey Crawford has three shutouts in the last four games.

Stat time (cue The Yeti): 21 out of the 32 teams are under .500 this season in the NFL with three weeks left. I don’t know the last time the NFL was this bad, but I feel I have some theories that some of you may be thinking as well as to why the NFL sucks big time. Many others around the football world may have some the reasons. Now, for the Bears, they suck because they are mismanaged and not coached very well. They are the exception to these reasons I am about to give.

I should correct myself with the word “theories” and replace it with “facts”. I truly believe these are just some of the reasons why teams are just so bad.

1. Over-saturation: Too much of a product is never a good thing. Now, I am no expert, but I do have my own business in real life. I have learned that too much of one product to sell can take a long time to sell. Having football on TV nearly every night of the week (both college and pro) is, for the lack of a better word, stupid. People are busy on some of these days and ratings have shown it. Yet, the greedy bastards in college football along with the ultimate fucker, Roger Goodell, are reasons why this won’t change.

Less is more in a business. Football on Sundays and Mondays is all they need. Sure, when I was a child, they had some games on Saturday at the end of the season. I am fine with that along with Thanksgiving games. However, I don’t need Thursday night games for the first 15 weeks of the season.

These Thursday night games tend to lower the quality of the game. We’ve seen it. Short rest, players not having enough time to recover from injuries and them not being in their normal routine during the season are all contributing factors. Less. Is. More.

2. Changing rules of the game: Well, I don’t have the stats in front of me (maybe Yeti does?), but it seems that there are more injuries in the last few years. When did this all happen? When Goodell was changing the rules of the game. From changing helmets, to how to hit players and all the way to virtually getting rid of kickoffs, he’s done it all. Want some hypocrisy? Roger Goodell makes the extra points longer and thus, gives the other team a chance to take back blocked/missed ones for safeties? What if players start getting hurt on those returns? Exactly. This guy is a greedy little fuck who could care less what happens to a player.

3. Money: The ultimate fucker loves his money. How does he make more for him and his business partners? Fining players for those illegal hits. And trust me, they say this money goes to concussion research. Well, just like a politician, he’s lying. Most, if not all of it, is going into the pockets of himself and the owners. Want more? Those Thursday night games load his bank account big time. Just last year, he moved one of the Wild Card games from broadcast television to ESPN. And fuck ESPN for doing that. They are fueling the fire that is, the NFL. This will make the NFL interested in putting more playoff games, if not, even the Super Bowl to ESPN one day. TV deals in general, fuel the NFL to continue to make money at all costs. Roger Goodell gets his salary from the owners and in addition, TV deals.

In conclusion, I am not advocating players to beat each other’s brains in. I am not trying to be Dr. Dan Bernstein of The Score, who continues to talk about injuries like concussions. It’s shitty what’s going on with that. These players are sadly, taking their own lives and there isn’t a solution to that. However, I think changing the rules of the game have lead to players changing their style and thus, leading to more injuries because of where the hits are being made. Even if the NFL were to change from tackling to two-hand touch, there will still be injuries (including concussions). Sadly, it’s part of the game.

Fuck Roger Goodell.

Well, the Bears made a comeback. They tied the game in the 3rd. It appeared, once again, that the Bears had the chance to win. But, Kenny Albert and the reincarnation of Carlos Huerta did it for the second week in a row.

Fuck Robbie Gould. For the love of God, how bad does someone have to be at their job before they get fired?

I have zero motivation to talk about anything else that happened in this game. And why should I? I cannot believe this shit. I seriously cannot. The words that I put in this recap do not do justice of how I truly feel. I fucking hate this team and Kenny Albert can go swim in battery acid.

I seriously feel like calling up Fox Sports and telling them to go fuck a horse for making Kenny Albert call all of these games for the Bears. I feel sorry for Daryl Johnston and Laura Okmin. To hear that weasel talking in their ear pieces for three hours has to be the most horrific form of torture that mankind has ever endured.

Since 1987, the Bears are a PATHETIC 3-13 against the Redskins. And that fucking ass clown Kenny Albert is announcing this game, too. Needless to say say, history isn’t on their side. The question isn’t whether or not the Bears will lose this Sunday. But HOW will they lose?

Your thoughts?

As you can see with the header, the mission to fire Gar Forman and John Paxson as Bulls’ top brass is taking a back seat for the time being. Now, I present to all of you a mission for the Chicago Bears to release Robbie Gould. Some may be wondering, why not ask the Bears to trade him? Well, the answer to that is simple: nobody wants him.

Robbie Gould has been here for too long and he has regressed as time has went on. He was awarded the largest contract for a kicker in NFL history two years ago. He has simply not lived up to that money. It’s time for a change.

As we all have witnessed here, we have a track record of getting results. Let’s see if we can get yet, another result in our favor.

Release Robbie Gould.

There really isn’t much else to say. Robbie Gould, the most overrated kicker in football, threw yet, another game away for the Bears in his career by missing two easy field goals in this game.

I fucking knew it after the first miss that the Bears were going to lose this game. I told myself “remember that missed kick”.

Yet, the Bears got a gift at the end of the 4th quarter by some dude, who I already forgot his name, take back a 75-yard run to the 25 or whatever it was.

Gould misses again at the end of regulation.

Fuck Robbie Gould. Fuck him until he turns blue. And fuck Kenny Albert, too. If nobody believes he isn’t the kiss of death to Chicago sports now, then I don’t know what will convince them. Every big game he calls for a Chicago sports team, they end up losing. I would be very happy if someone ripped his vocal cords out.

Season over. Now, I can start looking forward to the offseason where I will pray that the Bears will release the highest paid and most overrated kicker in the NFL for someone who actually won’t bitch about money.

David Price is going to the Red Sox – 7years/$217 million (!) – and Greinke is rumored to sign with the Dodgers or Giants. Thoughts?

Anybody see that one coming? I know. Me either.

I am too worked up after giving myself a headache by screaming at the TV the last three hours. I’ll post some thoughts in the thread when I calm down.

In the meantime, add your opinions.

Goodnight.
