It’s Not That Bad, Bears

Cheer up, Bears fans…you could be the White Sox.

A pretty damning Wednesday at Halas Hall as outlined by Bears beat (Battlestar Galactica) writer Dan Wiederer’s Twitter timeline this afternoon. If you’re too lazy to click that link, here are a few highlights:

  1. Starting left tackle Braxton Jones is heading to IR with a potentially season-ending neck injury.
  2. No one knows who the fuck the actual defensive coordinator is now or moving forward.
  3. When asked about the reason behind his thus far “robotic” play, Justin Fields said “coaching.”

Well at least they have a nice easy matchup coming up Sunday…

Against the Chiefs…

In Kansas City.

But it can’t really be that bad in Chicago, right?

Who cares if, as an organization, you’ve only made the playoffs six times in the last 28 years. It shouldn’t matter that the highest your offense has ranked since 2019 is 22nd. In that same period, a franchise with heavy hitters like Brian Urlacher, Dick Butkus, and Mike Singletary…the highest defensive ranking has been 15th.

Some more bright spots? The best quarterback in the Bears’ 103 year history is Jay Cutler! Of the top five leading receivers of all-time, one of them came after the year 1987! Your all-time leading scorer is a kicker who hasn’t worn your uniform in eight years!

So chin up, Bear Down, and go shock the world Sunday…no way facing Patrick Mahomes at home will be a disaster.

Sunday State of Mind (SSM): June 22nd-June 28th

SSM is back in a big way this week. We are glad to be back serving up some shitty poetry about this week in sports.

So please, sit back, settle in, and enjoy this week’s SSM…

Just like the blog, baseball is back
We can’t believe our ears
There likely will not be any fans in stadiums
Still, a reason for plenty of beers

Our best American export Christian Pulisic
Beautiful I must say
Thriving in the EPL
Usually not done by someone from the ‘ol U-S of A

The Texas Rangers released, photos of Globe Life Park
It’s only fair to ask, did they build it in the dark?
It looks like a toolbox that I built in eighth grade metal shop class
An abuse on the eyes, the park is simply crass

Jay Cutler became 2020’s social media hero
Incredible response to an account who’s usage rate was close to zero
Documenting catching who’s eating his chickens, our dear, sweet Cutty
The guy is totally endearing, I wish he could be my buddy
