Good teams—think the
A’s or Yankees with Reggie Jackson on the roster—will fight from time to
time. Bad teams—think just about any
Bears’ team—fight all the time.
It happened up at Halas
Hall just this week, receivers Josh Bellamy and Tre McBride going at it loud
enough for reporters to hear; McBride was then cut the next day. “Coach” John Fox said the decision to let
McBride go was “just kind of churning the roster” over, which 3-8 teams can be
expected to do. Fox also dismissed the
contretemps as something “that happens all the time” in the NFL. “I just think that room [where it happened]
is closer to y’all than I probably would have designed it.”
That makes perfect
sense. After all, if a ship is sinking
and the alarm goes off, people will realize the ship is in fact sinking. But it you can keep from sounding that damn’
bell, why maybe everyone can go down to Davy Jones’ locker without being any
the wiser.
That’s what passes
for a plan with the Chicago Bears.
