I just don’t get
it. Here we are at the end of May, the
early prime part of the baseball season, and both newspapers act as if it’s
late August, when they go into 24/7 Bears’ mode. Last season’s 3-13 Monsters of the Midway—insert
whatever joke you want here—made the first page of the Trib’s sports’ section three
days running, and two out of three at the Sun-Times. Did you know the Bears have a quarterback
controversy brewing, or that they don’t want to comment on the injury status of
oft-injured former #1 draft pick Kevin White, or that they really did comment
by signing 30-year old receiver Victor Cruz?
Now you do.
What kind of
readers-fans-people care about this stuff, before Memorial Day? Why does baseball have to worry about the
whims and idiosyncrasies of millennial fans but football doesn’t? Why don’t the Bears just go away, at least
until after the Feast of the Assumption?
I wish I knew.
