Enough Already


Who was it who said there’s no such thing as bad publicity?  It had to be the McCaskeys.

I get up this morning and go to the Tribune sports section to find the 3-13 Bears still making news, with the head of the NFL Players Association blasting the team for trying to get the Illinois workers’ comp law changed so the team won’t be on the hook for claims filed by ex-players in middle age and beyond; God forbid the arthritis doesn’t kick in right away.  We thank you for your service, now get lost.

On the bottom of that story is a tickler for tomorrow.  Coming Sunday: Bears special report.  “How did the Bears go from the Super Bowl to also-ran in ten years?”  Who cares?  Or let me put it this way: the White Sox did the very same thing, from World Series champ to chump, between 2005 and 2015, yet the Tribune didn’t feel the need for a special section.  I wonder why.
