What He Should've Said

Bears’ quarterback Mitch Trubisky certainly put his foot in his mouth answering a reporter’s question on Wednesday.  First, he said he was busy “trying to get some of these TVs in the building [Halas Hall] turned off.”  You see, the embattled quarterback is tired, tired of hearing what the critics have to say.

“You’ve got too many people talking on TV about us and what they think about us,” said Trubisky, “what we should do, what we are and what we’re not.  But they don’t really know who we are or what we’re capable of as people or what we’re going through or what we’re thinking.  It’s just outside viewers looking in.”  Oh, the injustice of it all.

Trubisky helped feed the preseason fantasy that this was a Super Bowl bound team, so he’s got to expect the backlash.  He would’ve been much better off saying something along the lines of “They’re absolutely right, I stink” or some variation thereof.  But you forfeit the right to complain about your critics when the NFL ranks you as the 28^th “best” quarterback in the league.

For Trubisky’s sake, he better win tomorrow, or the TV critics are going to come jumping out of the screen to chase after him.
