Buzz Before the Slaughter

The Bears’ record presently stands at 4-8, which comes out to a .333 winning percentage for all you math whizzes out there. If the Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs or White Sox played seventy percent of their season winning at a .333 clip, you’d need an electron microscope to locate the coverage. In the bizarro world of Chicago sports, with the Munsters, it’s wins be damned, full coverage ahead. Yesterday, the Sun-Times devoted 12-1/2 pages of its expanded “Sports Saturday” section to the likely beatdown the Bears will likely receive from Aaron Rodgers and the Packers tonight in Green Bay, on national television, no less. Meanwhile, the Tribune devoted two full pages today to a “Matt Nagy Timeline” in today’s paper. Can’t read? Well, turn on the TV or radio for you share of Bears’ coverage. Gluttons for punishment welcome. I heard rookie quarterback Justin Fields say he likes being the underdog, in which case he’s definitely playing for the right team. My guess is the first play from scrimmage for the visitors will be a bubble-screen right, and it’ll all go down from there. Of course, Fields, Nagy and company could prove me wrong and do that “band of brothers” thing Nagy is always alluding to. But I doubt it.
