Do you have hope or despair for the future: The Bears are hosed for the forseeable future, the only thing I can hope for is that Aaron Rodgers finds a higher calling than professional football and retires to a life of wealth and comfort and not ruining the sport by being impossibly good.

It's still mind-boggling that the Bears dealt with Favre sticking a screwdriver up their rear end twice a year for fifteen years, and then he fucks off to New York, everyone breathes a sigh of relief ... but wait! Here comes Rodgers, and he's traded that screwdriver for a Sawzall. :suicide:

To stop insiders from having a betting advantage and from being able to sell information like that to Vegas/sharps.

I don't know what the NFL claims is the reason, but that's the actual reason.

The league's justification is that gaming the injury reports can mess with an opponent's gameplan, which is true -- you're going to scheme against the Seahawks differently if you know Sherman isn't running on all cylinders.

I think Mike Shanahan's Broncos were notorious for having like half the roster listed as questionable.
