Somewhere...

Somewhere, the late Abe Gibron is smiling. Gibron coached the Bears over the stretch of three horrible seasons, 1972-74, when they went a collective 11-30. But Gibron was only an assistant coach for the Munsters in 1971, when they lost 6-3 in a battle of field goals against the Broncos at Mile High Stadium on December 5th. Bears’ quarterback Bobby Douglass was sacked nine times and threw two interceptions. I remembered watching that game while watching the Munsters lose 6-3 last night to the visiting Seahawks at Soldier Field. Caleb Williams was sacked seven time while throwing one interception. You can see why I thought this was that and that was this. This—past or present, you pick—is what the McCaskeys and their lackies want the people of Illinois to contribute $2.4 billion for a new lakefront stadium. Not then, not now.
