Ben Franklin thought
that fish and visitors smell after three days.
In that case, what would he say about the Bears?
Think about it. Our woeful 5-11 Munsters of the Midway last
played on December 31st (a loss, naturally), and three months later,
they’re still garnering major sports’ coverage.
I wake up this morning to find a full-page action shot of linebacker
Leonard Floyd on the back of the Sun-Times.
Over at the Tribune, two Bears’ stories and a photo of the
soon-to-be-released Mike Glennon took up a mere 80 percent of page one in
sports. As for TV, no local sportscast
would be complete without an update on which Bears’ veteran is about to be
cut. All I can say is: Does anyone out
there know how to read a calendar?
Guys, it’s March, when
our attention should be devoted to basketball and baseball. The NFL draft is nearly two months off, and the
upcoming combine for draft-eligible players has as much to do with demonstrating
relevant skills as American Ninja Warrior does.
As a friend of mine says quoting ex-Bear Doug Buffone about the combine,
how many tables does a player have to jump over in a game?
Do us all a favor, and
give it a rest. That, and devote some
time to covering spring sports.
