Milwaukee is more segregated than Chicago lmao.

And chicago loving pioneered zoning and white flight to keep the blacks away.
Milwaukee has mastered that poo poo.

Mostly yeah Wisconsin is only like at most marginally more racist than surrounding states. But ya'll still gonna see those jokes about how you enjoy saying Kuhn, because jokes.

Ask me anything about central and southern IL and I'll say similar things about the people down here.

Jake Rudock's hustle to get as paid as much as possible while being a backup QB is my favorite low-key Lions subplot.

What's funny is that Orlovsky has actually turned into a really good analyst on twitter for evaluating QB play.

I feel like this is the kind of approach -- instilling a sense of expectations to live up to -- that will quickly backfire if the Bears don't start strong:

quote:

3. The Bears and Cardinals kicked off their offseason programs Tuesday, and I’m always curious to hear how first-year coaches try to make a first impression. I love what Matt Nagy did in Chicago: As I heard it, he used the time with his players to explain the history of being a Bear, right down to the GSH initials (George S. Halas) on their jerseys, and the fact that their boss (Virginia McCaskey) happens to be GSH’s daughter. He did something similar with the staff a few weeks back at Soldier Field, and plans to have alumni back in the building to be around the players as soon as he can get them there.

4. Like a lot of coaches do, too, Nagy had some slogans for the players after they got through the history lesson and to a look at what’s ahead. One that stuck out: “Obsession.” It’s something that Nagy and GM Ryan Pace came up with, I’m told, with the implication being that being obsessed (in a good way) with football is what it takes to win in the NFL.

it's far better that the bears learn about the great bear teams of the past by flagging down one of the '85 bears at the nearest car dealership or boat and fishing tackle expo

Why didn't they tender him at the higher level so they'd get a draft pick out of this? Does Pace not loving understand the rules of free agency?

Second round tender gives him more guaranteed money. Clearly, they didn't think he was worth that.

If I had to guess, Pace just likes letting the market set a price and if he thinks it's fair, he matches. If he thinks it was too much, he lets them go. But he gives players the chance to determine their market, which I suspect they'd appreciate.

It's pretty silly if that's what he does, because you are giving up lot of your bargaining power. It's the only reasoning that makes sense though.

It's a million more for a good receiver or a 2nd round pick. Pace is clueless.

Dion Sims? 3/18, with 10 guaranteed. but he's being so smart being savvy about not overpaying by a million on the best wr the bears have had the last 2 years

Wheaton got 2/11 with 6 guaranteed. I have no problem with pace throwing around money then cutting bad players, but good grief there's no excuse for being ok with paying Meredith 2m but not 3m

hell, Burton got 4/32 with 22 guaranteed. all while the 2nd round pick rides the bench at TE. Pace sucks


just checked and Meredith had the most receiving yards of any player under fox in one season (alshon kept getting hurt). I don't get why Pace is so obsessed with overpaying other teams backups and not his own guys
