“Being heard is so close to being loved that most people cannot tell the difference.” Good listening is a powerful but waning practice. I loved these suggestions, from @blake_glosson , for how we might improve our listening and make others feel heard.

@jacobinfante24 I forgot @thomasqjones played 12 seasons in the NFL but only 3 with the Bears(?!) He always felt more like a Bears lifer to me, especially since he played such a key role in their SB run. Loved watching him growing up.

It has been so hard to watch "the worst team in the league" #Bears these last 2 games. Other than dominating on both sides of the ball and outscoring their opponents by a combined score of 67-11 (since halftime of Wk 1), the #Bears have looked so bad.

Really wanted to see the #Bears get a chance to score there, they were moving the ball well in the 2nd half. Gotta think Flus would've gone for 2, too, based on his aggressiveness this game. Truly a valiant performance by Fields today; he carried the Bears and gave them a chance.
