Like Ziggy does to you.

It's just "schtick".

[Jockey]

This guy is REALLY hoping for some pedophile and/or sex trafficking.  Kinda weird.

I see now why people always make fun of you.

I haven't said even one word about either pedophilia or sex trafficking.

[MUBurrow]

And now they release Nathan Peterman.

Day gets worse and worse.

Bears cleaning house on Petermen today.

But that's what the Twitter rumors are, and you're saying the Bears are BSing saying it's health related.

Wow. Is English a 2nd language for you?

[martyconlonontherun]

No, he's pointing out the obvious. It's why the Bears should be ahead of this

What does that even mean? Have a press conference saying he is or isn't resigning due to health issues? The worst thing that can do is say something that would open them up for liability. If worst case scenario it is something bad like CP, does it really make a difference if they say something now or in 3 days and just said they were letting police do their jobs and get the facts as they were totally shocked by what transpired? If it something health related, they probably have to wait until termination negotiations are finalized since its probably a mix between being fired and resigning.

[WhiteTrash]

Where do we rank the Bears as the worst organization in football?

It has to be between them and the Cardinals at the moment, no?  Browns?  Texans?

I don't think the Bears are capable of going up 20-0 on the Giants.

So you were insinuating...what?  Why don't you just come out and say whatever it is you mean so those of us who don't speak English can understand.

No, what they need to do is give full support to the current staff instead of leaving them to deal with the innuendo of not saying anything at all

They don't have to comment on it by simply saying no comment on matters with regard to the DC because if it is simply a health issue, then they wish him well.  If he resigns simply because of health, they aren't liable for fulfilling his contract.

Kinda wondering if this is more about a family member than him personally.

That would make a lot of sense, honestly.

Strath would have no clue on that. He has been his attorney for mere hours

More hours than you have been.

I'm wondering if it is not technically illegal, but still very ugly.

I know nothing at all on this, but they are calling it a "health issue" and "family issue," those could something of the ilk of addiction (lots of options here, some of which are not pretty), and infidelity (also possibly very ugly), where the two are really intertwined.

The only reason I go there is because of the oddities in how the Bears reported this, really seems like they are trying to distance themselves from something, and that something doesn't have to be involving criminal proceedings.

[WhiteTrash]

Lost in all the wonderful Bears news today was the "franchise" 3rd year QB admitted that being taught to read defenses is overwhelming.

The starting QB of an NFL team told everyone, "F the coaches, I'm going to do what feels right". Sounds like a recipe for success. 

[DegenerateDish]

If it truly is a health or family issue, it would make much more sense for Williams to take FMLA rather than to flat out quit his job.

The Bears have now re-signed Petermen.

[Uncle Rico]

The Bears have now re-signed Petermen.

Amazing

[WhiteTrash]

Not a good sign for the Bears or Fields. Rumors are the Bears coaches are ready to move on from Fields and need a serviceable QB, all within 24 hours.

The Bears have to be close to the bottom, right?

They just cut him yesterday. I would imagine this is more about contract/salary cap maneuvering than anything else.

I'm pretty sure he is/was making the league minimum. $1M for a 6th year player is right at the minimum.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

My guess is that they had a trade or FA signing lined up but it fell through.

Someone didn't want to play for the Bears? I'm shocked!

Arlington Heights first.  Then they're there.
