High-Wire Act, Flea
Circus
A day after the Bears’
eleventh loss of the season, a 23-10 sleep inducer to Minnesota, GM Ryan Pace woke up
from hibernation to fire “coach” John Fox.
According to the Tribune, Pace hadn’t spoken with the local media since
September 6. Fear not, Bears’ fans, for
the boyish-looking and ever-sincere Pace promises to get it right this
time. Until he does, I am the walrus.
The good thing about
this is that Pace has no place to hide anymore.
He hires the right guy, or he’s gone.
The weird thing about this is all the attention it gets. Forgive this very old-school measurement, but
I think it’s worth something—not only did the Trib devote the first five pages
of today’s sports’ section to the Bears, it put the story above the fold on
page one. Our Lord should get that kind
of coverage for the Second Coming. Of
course, if He timed the return during football season, nobody would probably
notice, anyhow.
