2021-2022 NFL Season

Yeah, you're probably right about Michigan. Whatever he does, he's got leverage at Michigan, and it doesn't hurt that two NFL franchises he has ties to potentially have head coach openings.

I believe strongly the McCaskey's would 100% hire him. I'm not saying I'd agree with it, but I believe they would absolutely do it (Harbaugh knows it too).

Any substance to any of the Sean Payton rumors? It feels like clickbait nonsense but it's still interesting scuttle given Brees' retirement and Payton's background/Pace connections

Payton is a package deal with Taysom Hill

I don't think there's anything to it, unless they kicked Pace upstairs and gave Payton roster control.

I always forget he went to Naperville Central.

Do they have any draft choices left to give up to get Peyton? He's under contract thru 2026 so it would take everything the Bears have left in the next draft to get him.

Hub Arkush says he will not vote for Rodgers for MVP.

You would think that a raging homer like Hub would love to vote for the owner of his team.

I booked 10 rooms at a variety of hotels in Arlington for Feb 12-14 early this afternoon. They've all quadrupled in price since I booked them.

Hmm...

AB releases long and detailed statement. Has significant injuries. This is going to get very interesting.

Gross, talk about a guy I wouldn't want as the Bears coach.

This just feels like Russell Wilson 2.0.

Why not?  Who do you think the Bears are going to get who's better?

Thoughts and prayers, Bears fans.

From the Tribune's Brad Biggs:

What do you think the odds are of Ryan Pace staying in the Bears organization in some capacity? — @jasonkmcguire

I can tell you in talking to people around the league, there definitely is a portion of folks who believe he has a good chance of remaining with the Bears either in his current role as general manager or in some other capacity on the football side of things. Others believe the Bears will make more sweeping changes than just replacing coach Matt Nagy.

I can tell you one source I spoke to earlier this week said a little more than a month ago, he would have put the chance of Pace staying at slightly higher than 50%. Now his belief is Pace's chances of remaining with the Bears is greater than that. We know Chairman George McCaskey has held Pace in high regard for some time. He's not going to let him be a guiding voice in a more than $100 million upgrade at Halas Hall without having total trust in him. It's possible McCaskey wants to allow Pace to see through the development of quarterback Justin Fields and maybe McCaskey likes some of the younger players on the roster.

Not surprising on Pace. I felt he was going to be retained in some capacity for a few weeks now and here come the reports.

George's tenure as chairman has been horrible. Poor decisions, after poor decisions. Keeping Pace is right on-brand. Yesterday was Virginia's birthday. She turned 99. While I don't wish her ill will, father time has to come at some point. And, truthfully, that may be the only thing that finally begins the process of changing the status quo at Halas Hall.

We must never forget what happened on January 6.

George's tenure has made me miss Michael being in charge.

I think my favorite part of all that was Nagy bringing in a ton of kickers for a tryout and making them kick a bunch of 43 yarders.

This whole incident was just the early evidence that Nagy didn't have the composure to handle the job.

Was that when the news stations all had their helicopters flying over Soldier Field?

I flew back to Chicago from Sunny South Florida to go to that game with my son.

Great time with my son.

Could the Bears screw something up worse than that?

The perfect reason why I avoid social media. When this ignorant skank is considered an "influencer", something is wrong with our society.

DailyMail is a glorified tabloid and they just toss dumb labels on anyone to pop stories.  Aka anyone with a bunch of social media followers is an influencer.

But keep up the yelling at the clouds and the vitriol, its a nice crotchety touch.

Ill give AB credit, he's a never ending content machine.

Obviously, I saw it was the Daily Mail.

And speaking of crotchety.....

Packers getting some dudes back right before the playoffs (Jaire off Covid list, Bak has been practicing) could make the playoffs that more exciting.
