Don’t stop there, John Fox.
I guess the big news, if you can call it that, is the Bears have a new starting defensive secondary.
It’s a big overhaul, but it has to be done. Not sure what Antrel Rolle gets us, but the rest of the guys had to go.
And what I’m saying is, keep going. More defense. A quick check of the defensive line reveals … nothing.
Come on. Jeremiah Ratliffe, a 34-year-old nose guard, as our best lineman. Eddie Goldman has a concussion. No one else has shown much. Good luck to all. I think the entire unit should go.
Linebackers, not sure where to start. It seems like we have about 10 of them but nobody is that good. Right now, I’ll take two: Willie Young and Pernell McPhee.

Next up, offensive line. I’ll take Kyle Long, and that’s about it.
Seriously, how can this team be this bereft of talent? What exactly have the GMs and scouts been looking at the past decade?
Lance Briggs just announced his retirement. Lance, your timing is excellent. You don’t want to be around for this.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, I respect. Heck, he does his interviews in grey sweatpants and grey sweatshirts like Halas would have. Still. NO. TALENT.
So to ease our depression we’ll salute the one team in Chicago that has clinched a playoff spot—not the Cubs, either. It’s the Chicago Sky! They’re 18-12, a few games back of the New York Liberty.
So say hello to MVP front-runner Elena Della Donne. She can play just about any position and she can do it all. Some say she is the Dirk Nowitzki of the WNBA.
I don’t want to visualize that, but she’s really good. Playoff tickets are now on sale.
However, you have to go to Rosemont to watch them. Sorry.
In other mesmerizing news, the Toronto Blue Jays hired Mark Shapiro to be their new president. You know, that’s the job Kenny Williams was rumored to be gunning for. Sorry, Kenny, when you’re under .500 the past decade, no one really cares.
And, sorry Sox fans. Looks like we’re stuck with Kenny! Yay!
The Cubs are coming along at just the right time.
