Week 18 Other Games Thread

Fields throws a good ball; some in Chicago think he is going to be elite. The bears are going to let the bidding begin for that draft pick

I know what Bears fans think. Fields threw for 2,000 yards in a full season. I’m not sold on him. But the front office knows more. They have options. But there’s no way I pass up on a better QB if he’s there.

I actually am rooting for the Rams. I don't like Seattle, first, and secondly I think the Loins will play better - looser - if they have nothing to lose.

I will say this: the Packers better be ready. The Loins play hard and they hit hard.

All true.

[QBME]

If the Bears like Fields then they can sell it for a ransom.

Even if they don’t, the sentiment remains the same.
Depends on how much savvy Ryan Polce has.
From what I’ve discerned living in Bears land, a bunch.

[QBME]

It can be the difference between Payton Manning and Ryan Leaf. Or Troy Aikman and Tony Mandarich.

Ha! You and I must be of the same vintage
Those two leapt to my mind
As just previously opined, Ryan Polce seems pretty savvy

Let’s hope the Bears fuck ups live on

Virginia turned 100 this week. Not a bad milestone.

Yup, the last of Papa Bears offspring

Soon the whole thing goes into disarray

I’m not totally dialed in, but the Bears have some sort of dispensation from the NFL ownership rules regarding whom can own what percentage of a team

The Bears ownership family are living off the Bears. Nobody has meaningful employment

They better not, there is already one too many exceptions to the strict ownership rules.

Kind of disturbing that people will go their entire lives without contributing anything of value to the rest of humanity, just because they don't have to.

That kinda sounds like 99% of humanity to be fair.

The guy that wraps your burrito is contributing something to you. Small, with no historical significance, but still a contribution.

I guess with that standard by owning the Bears she employs lots of people including the guys who wrap the burritos on game day and all the other stuff.

I'm not taking a shot specifically at Virginia McCaskey. I have no clue how much she has done with her life, I was speaking to the random family members floating on Bears money.

To your point, yes the Bears existing does contribute to humanity. Someone or some people have to run the business. Those people are contributing. People just getting Bears family money aren't contributing, or at least they appear to be non-contributory.

Need to vent - Dallas is absolutely killing me!!! They are going to screw up my, so far, perfect 7 leg Parlay!

Bastards!

Fair enough Smuggler. No idea on the the family nor do I care. Man, you guys have a helluva game tonight. Should be fun although I have to work super early so may not see it all.
