The Bears. The Texans. Tyson Bagent. Davis Mills.

Football is back.

The NFL preseason officially kicks off tonight in Canton, Ohio with the annual Hall of Fame game. While we likely won’t see a single starter tonight; we will still see helmets, a football, and grass. For now, that’s enough.

The Bears and Texans will actually be a legitimately fun matchup when they play each other in week two of the regular season. However, tonight will be a preview of next week’s Hard Knocks. No Caleb Williams, no CJ Stroud, no DJ Moore, no Stefon Diggs.

If you’re a real degenerate sicko, the Bears are currently a 1.5 point favorite with an O/U of 30.5. The corporate fat cats at FanDuel and DraftKings won’t let us be great and bet player props, but if you’re really itching, the spread and totals will have to do. I personally have faith in you cashing in, responsibly of course.

Welcome back, football (betting).

Apparently, Justin Fields is Now Devin Hester

Some absolute bananas “news” out of Pittsburgh this morning. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers, as confirmed by running back Jaylen Warren, are considering using recently acquired quarterback Justin Fields as a punt returner. 

Punt. Returner. 

As if this man hasn’t been boned (pause) enough; what was meant to be his fresh start with a patient, quarterback rich organization, quickly has become a circus. 

The Bears made the right choice in dealing Fields and going with Caleb Williams, for a number of reasons. Even so, they absolutely LOADED UP the second he was gone. More help than Fields ever had during his three years in Chicago. Just have to imagine it stings a little bit seeing your old team put the pedal to the medal from afar.

But the guy gets a new team who has done a lot of winning, and it almost immediately turns into a freak show. Even if this ends up not being true, the fact that he is continually treated as a pawn has to be incredibly frustrating.
