Liam Coen is the guy Bears fans believe Ben Johnson to be.

I've watched a lot of college football over decades. I'm certain Brayden Trimble is an NFL WR.

I can't wait to watch Mark Clayton II play for someone else next season. But at least we have the world's largest TV screen.

Curt Cignetti is NOT the best coach in college football. Curt Cignetti is the best coach in football.

Boy, this is tough. Tom Waddle -- the toughest SOB I've ever seen wear a Bears uniform -- sharing his thoughts on Coach Ditka. youtu.be/0WbJi1z3e8E

Oregon will fire Altman into the sun soon. Silly to have him in the top tier. Baylor will give Drew the boot soon, too, if next season goes like this one.

After 4 games, both D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are on pace for 1,300 yards this season. I think a lot of people have this idea that Ben Johnson just wants to throw the ball all over the field. Ben Johnson wants to run the football down your throat. He wants to dominate you.

Brewers are going to win the World Series. I hope you're ready for that, fellow Cubs fans.

Fuck Swift. Monangai needs to be the feature back from now on. Sick of the running sideways and going down on first contact. My dead grandma gets more yards after contact.

I said it all year. The pitching issues were obvious. But this offense has a way of completely disappearing when you need them to step up the most.

The problem with the Chicago Cubs has always—always—been the offense. So many people have talked endlessly about pitching. Pitching. Pitching. No. It's always been inconsistent offense under Craig Counsell. Feast or famine.

Dennis Allen is an elite defensive coordinator. And there's every reason to believe he's going to be in Chicago for a long, long time.
