Collaborators

Well, the McCaskey family definitely comes from the “there is no bad publicity” school of thought. Yesterday, team chairman George McCaskey and team president Ted Phillips joined with GM Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy for a Zoom version of the annual team season debriefing. Or should I say they all collaborated on presenting a united front marching into the next season where mediocracy’s the ceiling? Before I go any further, let me give a shout-out to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic for sitting through what must’ve felt like old-school root canal. Fishbain counted a minimum of fifteen times when the benighted four uttered some form of the word “collaboration.” If you feel a need for examples or punishment, read Fishbain. Whether or not you do, know this about the clown show up at Halas Hall—none of these dolts considered darker connotation of the term, as in anyone who collaborated with the Nazis during WWII. Unless, of course, they did know and went ahead throwing the term around anyhow, in which case they’re even dolt-ier. What, “consensus” was booked all day?
