Ugly first half against Minnesota

Point well taken, Roy. If the Bears had drafted Mahomes instead of Fields he might have just been one more in the long string of ineffective Bears QBs because of inadequate supporting players. Jim McMahon was good enough to win a super bowl, but the defense was the star of that team, and McMahon was injured too much during his career to become a superstar, perhaps because he had lousy OLs.

I was never much of a Cowboys fan but I liked Landry. And I detest Jerry Jones! Seeing Dallas lose is almost as enjoyable as seeing Green Bay lose.

And I remember my grandfather telling me that Irv Kupcinet had played (briefly) for the Eagles when I wondered out loud why a gossip columnist was doing radio commentary on Bears games. After an injury ended his NFL career, he got a sportswriting job in Chicago and went on to launch his gossip column. BTW, he started out at Northwestern but transferred to North Dakota.

He played for them, and eventually took over coaching the D. Its all in Gifford’s book.
