Not Today, Thank You

It’s a good thing Jesus didn’t plan on making His return trip yesterday. Bears’ fans got their savior, thank you very much, in the person of Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields. I heard that Fields is “one of those generational talents” and read that he has “franchise-changing potential.” I also remember Johnny Morris nearly hyperventilating on-air when the Bears traded for running back Carl Garrett back in 1973. At least that was a bad trade that led to them drafting Walter Payton. If Mitch Trubisky is Garrett, things might work out. But if Fields is Trubisky 2.0? Not my problem. It was nice of the sports’ outlets to get around to reporting on the White Sox sweep of the Tigers, 3-1 and 11-0, behind the combined efforts of Carlos Rodon and Dylan Cease, who pitched his first-ever shutout. Ordinarily, Cease’s performance would qualify as “stop the presses” news, but it was the NFL Draft, and this is Chicago. Oh, well.
