As a Bears fan I can honestly say, that is embarrassing.

That right there is why you put candidates through a fake press conference.

YES.

What's next? Is the Bear's GM going to tell us about a note someone passed him in gym class?

Of all the things that embarrass me as a Bears fan, this scarcely even registers.  I just hope its even 20% true.

^ Bet on the Giants
My D-i-L always meets her father at an away game each season and this time it's the London game, Packers lose almost every game they attend.

Is that a 'home' game for the Packers? I'd be pissed if I was a season ticket holder if it is.

I've heard some teams, like the Bears, have told the NFL "no thanks" to having a home game over seas. As founders of the NFL, I assume the Bears and Packers can dictate to the NFL that they will not loose a home game.

It has been designated as a "home" game for the Packers.  The team’s designated ninth home game was used on the trip to London.

The Packers will still get eight home games. The franchise is not unhappy about this.

There are a ton of overseas Packer fans.  London will be great for the team.

Wow.

Absolutely baffling to me.  Ive seen nothing from Brady that tells me he's gonna be some lights out, A+++ analyst.  I would have said it was ridiculous for Manning in the same position, and he showed far more potential for it than Brady.  We saw how Brees struggled.

The other shocking side story was Jim Rome getting $30MM a year from CBS Sports.  I mean, I know his radio show/podcast is very successful, but that is a HUGE chunk of change for someone that a lot of knowledgeable sports fans don't realize is still relevant.

Manning would have been fantastic because he pairs personality with knowledge, but he has a good gig dicking around on ESPN 2. I would not have anticipated Romo being as good as he is, but he very quickly became the best in the business

Jim Rome still has a job… any job? Wow. Efficient market my patoot, 0% chance there’s a positive ROI there especially considering the opportunity cost of paying him $30M to be invisible means you could spend $30M on literally any other productive asset.

Count me as one who didn't know Rome was still working.  I think this is the first time I've seen his name in 10+ years. Is this a 'come back', or has he been working this entire time?

He has been working the whole time.

Those who follow TV sports are speculating that Greg Olsen will be FOX's lead football analyst this season, and then Brady will take the job next year.

I doubt Brady will be better than the outstanding Olsen, let alone 20x better (or however much more Brady will be paid than Olsen).

After perhaps the initial telecast or two with some folks tuning in to see if Brady's any good, how many people will watch a game with Brady as the analyst who wouldn't have watched it anyway no matter who was the analyst?

This just seems like FOX spending money for the sake of spending money.

And Olsen is yet another guy who showed a ton of personality as a player.  Starting doing sideline work and analyst work while playing, then worked his way up.

Brady?  I mean, I'm not trying to argue his legacy as a player, but nobody except the biggest Brady fanboys think he has some super engaging personality or charisma.  Its just ridiculous to me.

Will people tune in to watch Brady who wouldn't have otherwise?  Yea, Mpretty boys.  But just wait till he does a Pats game and says something less than fawning over the Pats, if he's indeed being an objective analyst, they will lose their minds.

Yeah I don't get shelling out that much money for a TV analyst.  Are that many more people going to watch because of Brady, Romo, Aikman, etc. to make these contracts worth it?
