Bears reportedly rolling out the red carpet for Mike McCarthy.....​

Is that good or bad?

Is that good or bad?

I mean, I'm not that impressed, but who the hell knows.

I was thinking the same thing. From an outsider’s view, it seems like the Bears want validation and McCarthy may bring that along with stability. However, where are you 3-4 years from now? A playoff team that can’t advance? Say hello to the Steelers…

I think its good. He was a winner in GreenBay and spoiled idiot Rogers got him tossed. He went to Dallas. That place is a Jerry Jones mess ! and was pretty successful there.. @Imbobman should weigh in on this. Bobby, whats the skinny on McCarthy ?

Bobby here! IMHO, McCarthy is a very good coach. He had the guts to let Favre go & start playing Rodgers. ..13 years @ GB & they made the playoffs 9 years.
You know, then after some years Rodgers became the smartest guy in the room &..... 'We'd like to thank Mike McCarthy for all......" I think after some years players tune a coach out! The Packers likely wouldn't have won the SB in 2010 with anyone else @ HC. He had excellent assistant coaches he brought in.
I think he would have a good chance to help the Bears improve..If their GM gets out of his away or is fired.. Though in some ways I hope he isn't hired by them. I like it when the bears suck & would like the status quo to continue Sorry Gene.

This chart below is interesting! GB was there for 6 out of the 10 years, more any other NFC team & did 'Jack Squat' with it!

Jeff Daniels a lifelong Detroit Lions fan was on the Tonight Show last night and told the story about the Curse of Bobby Layne, a Detroit Lions QB who, in 1958, after being traded to the Steelers, cursed the Lions to not win a championship for 50 years. In 2022 he and Payton Manning went to Ford Field in an effort to break the curse.

The details

He even wrote a song.

Well, the curse is going on for over 65 years now. So there must be some other explanation.

Yeah, they mentioned that. Heres the whole segment. The Detroit stuff starts at about 6:50. The Dumb and Dumber stuff is pretty good too.

Who says that the Jets aren't a good team? LOL

But poor @GOS , the Blackhawks really suck with not only the worst record in the conference, but in the entire NHL.

 

[LuvMyQuad]

Wow sombody is even worse than the Sabres at 17 22 5. Dont worry. The Sabres will get to the bottom eventually.

@rugene did you see this opinion article regarding Tomlin and the Steelers?

@marpow , your note to your wife about football game times was a good idea. I just handed mine to my wife and she thanked me for letting her know.

 

[marpow]

I think we can all agree, if your an NFL fan this is the best weekend of the season.

Pacific time, definitely the Goldilocks of time zones.

I swear I did not do this on purpose, and I did not even notice it until I saw my note on the screen. Detroit and Buffalo are the only two teams spelled out. They are my two picks, subconscious voodoo?
