In January 2013, Bears interviewed Bruce Arians--that season's NFL Coach of the Year--to replace Lovie Smith. Arians wanted job. Embraced challenge. Then-GM Phil Emery hired Marc Trestman instead--a historically bad blunder. Congrats to Bruce Arians, Super Bowl-winning coach.

Hey, look, an exceptional rookie QB with an opportunistic defense and a defensive-minded head coach who lets an innovative play-caller run the offense is winning a playoff game. #Texans #NFLSuperWildCardWeekend

Life can be cruel. This is crushing. J.D. was the absolute best, as positive as they came, universally respected in the business and loved by all his friends. RIP, buddy.

Absolutely heartbreaking news to hear of the passing of ESPN reporter Jeff Dickerson. You will see/hear a lot of great things written/said about him and they are true. His wife, Caitlin, passed away in 2019. Heartbroken for their 11-year-old son, Parker, losing both parents.

It's almost inconceivable to think that the Bears team embarrassed tonight in its final home game at Soldier Field is the same group who opened the season on the same field, in front of the same NBC cameras, considered legit Super Bowl contenders.

A 65-yard interception return for a touchdown by Vikings CB Patrick Peterson, on third straight fourth-and-1 Bears called a pass, provides the fitting end to the absurdity that was the Matt Nagy play-calling experience, 2018-2022. What a ridiculous lack of common sense. #Bears

Not sure pro athlete could’ve handled himself under circumstances as well as Andrew Luck did at emotional press conference. Honest. Articulate. Introspective. Luck’s a bright, exceptional young man who happens to be NFL QB. His life, his terms. I don’t get the criticism of him.

Darryl Drake was one of Lovie Smith’s most valued assistants for the Bears from 2004-12, and certainly the most entertaining. Funny and honest, Drake held everyone from WRs to columnists accountable. Steelers announced today Drake passed away at 62. A good guy gone too soon. RIP.

Best available head coach goes to the Chargers. He’s gonna keep winning. Always going to wonder if he was willing to leave Michigan for the NFL, why didn’t the #Bears make more of an effort?

Breaking: Jim Harbaugh is leaving Michigan to accept the head coaching job with the Los Angeles Chargers, sources tell ESPN. The Chargers get their man while the national champions now have a head-coach opening.

#Bears struggle badly with crisis management. This is a crisis, already mismanaged. Their biggest rival isn’t Packers; it’s transparency. Be simple, clear and strong. Address whether credible report is true or false. Make an exception to your rule. Issue statement, at minimum.

In a season full of illogical and inexplicable decisions by the #Bears head coach, this is the latest. Foles led the team to its first victory in a month yet gets demoted? For Dalton? If Justin Fields were healthy, of course he should start. But starting Dalton over Foles? Silly.

Bears will start Andy Dalton on Sunday with Nick Foles backing up.
