Eber-gloop

Bears’ head coach Matt Eberflus makes Bill Belichick sound downright loquacious and informative in comparison. Asked by reporters yesterday to provide an update on the availability of quarterback Justin Fields for Sunday’s game against the Lions, Eberflus gibbered that he wanted to see Fields “Just functioning in the game of football.” As opposed to baseball or cricket, I guess. Wait, there’s more. “Once we see him in the game of football in terms of going against the scout team and all that stuff and taking snaps and playing full speed, then we'll make a determination, but it's not there today.” [quotes from story today on team website] The more Eberflus talks, the more I appreciate Bulls’ head coach Billy Donovan for the way he answers questions, which is honest and to the point. How Donovan ever ended up working for a team belonging to Jerry Reinsdorf is beyond me.
