The Lions should have a parade if they win the division and then more parades for any subsequent playoff wins

Knowing the little bit I know about the bears as an org, my gut reaction to this statement is that this requires more faith to believe in than faith to believe the Lions will win the NFC, or the superbowl

The bears are 1-1 in superbowls. The lions have to overcome 60 years of dysfunction. I dont have any hate for the lions and i want them to win (just a little), but they havent won a championship since 1957 and have never appeared in a superbowl.

The bears really just hosed up when they canned lovie and jerry angelo. I didnt like jerry much then, but i learned to appreciate him more after the series of fuckups they hired after him.

Wasn’t that roughly around when the kids took over running the org?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding or over extrapolating, but as I understood it it was the failsons that started the descent into madness

Mike McCaskey took over the Bears in 1983 or 1984, and that's when the team started to spiral downward. He replaced Mike Ditka with Dave Wannstedt in 1992, and infamously announced a press conference to announce the hiring of Dave McGinnis as their new head coach after the 1998 season ... except McGinnis hadn't actually agreed to a contract yet, and was on his way to Halas Hall to discuss final terms when he heard about the press conference on the radio. He backed out, and the Bears, with egg on their face, turned to Dick Jauron.

That was the incident that led to Mikey boy being kicked upstairs and Ted Phillips and Mark Hatley taking over the team.

If Wikipedia is to be believed, WCF Sr took over ownership in 1961. So I think the Ford family as a whole is to blame here.

They should trade for Slay and Diggs too. I'm waiting for them to announce pencil dick has joined the team in some capacity - put him in a time out seat and show him how to properly run a team.
