@BishopOnAir @GovPritzker First of all. An executive branch member giving money to a judicial branch member is wholly unconstitutional. Pritzker should be brought up on ethics, as should any judge receiving any monies/payola.

@ESPNNFL @minakimes @minakimes you’re starting to lose credibility. Getting lazy, relying on metrics to drive points. Watch film, use common sense. Gilmore years past prime, Smith a major reach in 1st round. DC Quinn is only real weapon. In that division Dallas is least improved. Playoffs, prob not.

@kfishbain Contract years for Fuller and Prince. And Pace let Green Bay write the offer sheet/negotiations with Fuller. So not only is Pace bad at his job. He was lazy in letting GB set Fuller’s price. And GB stole Amos from Bears when Pace foolishly extended Massie instead. No priorities.

He probably can’t remember why and how he drafted Jokic or doesn’t care. Either way he’s listening too much to fans, radio and Micheal Reinsdorf. Typical Chicago

@djdurkin It’s Rodgers reading defenses more than anything. It’s the biggest separation between Bears and Packers. A quarterback who can read defenses and exploit matchups and one who doesn’t recognize what he’s looking at. Its why Bears need a new coach. Mitch needs next level teaching.

The Garappolo injury is exactly why NFL should not have a trading deadline. Why should the whole 49ers team be punished for losing 2 starting QBs. They should be able to trade for someone’s starter (Rodgers) or backup (Flacco). Giving good teams a chance adds drama to seasons end
