If you are going to put in Scott Rolen in the Hall of Fame you mine as well put in Mark Grace in who had 407 more hits in his career in one less season, struck out 768 less times and was every bit the defender. Rolen hit .300 3 times, Grace did it 9 times.

Takeaways from Tarik Cohen Players Tribune piece: 1. Calling any #NFL football player soft/questioning an injury is and will always be absurd 2. The Bears did nothing to explain what was going on with Tarik for reasons that are at best unclear 3. Rooting like hell for Tarik

3 things to like about Shane Waldron hire: 1- Took Geno Smith from nowhere to back-to-back seasons over 3600 yards. 2- Worked with all styles. Goff and Cousins, Geno and Russ. 3- Waldron chose Bears seemingly over other options. Must like roster/ trust any Poles direction

Ryan Poles out here doing dare I say -- Ryan Poles things. A one year deal for DE Yannick Ngakoue - a position of huge need - for money the #Bears had to spend - that gives the team a better chance to win - and for Justin Fields to have the ball more - makes a ton of sense.
