- What I’m told: Carolina wanted to add a 2025 first. Poles wanted DJ Moore. Poles didn’t budge. Carolina did.
- The Broncos lost by 50 today. They open as 2.5 point favorites in Soldier Field next week.
- Aaron Rodgers clearly could have taken far less money and kept Adams. He chose not to. That’s who he is.
- I don’t care what Aaron Rodgers does. But just fucking do it and spare us the high school diary shit.
- Bears second half points allowed this season: 3 3 6 6 8 9 0
- On Poles. There were five members of this committee. All five ranked Poles their top candidate. That’s how good his interview was. Bears got their man.
- (I’m told Leslie Frazier is not a finalist for the Bears job.)
- Okay last bit. Then I’m done. Ben Johnson is more than comfortable with Poles as his personnel man but wanted assurances from George that he’d have no meddling from Warren/George. He got those. Deal done.
- Caleb: great. Flus: awful. Game does not require much more analysis.
- There were two distinct Coach camps in the lead up to Ryan Poles’ hiring. Polian/George wanted Caldwell. Ted & rest wanted Quinn. Poles went his own way.
- Excellent. I’ll “stick to sports” and weigh in. This would be, without question, the most remarkably dumb thing ever done by a sports organization. Including the Deshaun Watson trade.President Donald Trump wants the Washington Commanders to name their planned $3.7 billion stadium after him, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.
