Ha! I have no recollection of him. 

They acquired him at the deadline from the Seahawks I believe.  He wasn’t around long and was just a spot rusher

Loveland was the most athletic TE I've ever seen at UM and we've had some good ones. He has unreal hands and fluidity for a guy that big. Some of the catches he made in big spots for UM were the definition of "game breaker". In the championship game against UW he caught a ball that I think even 90% of NFL TEs don't catch and he made about 40 yards out of it, got UM the momentum back. I believe it would have setup 3rd and long if he didn't catch it, instead it was a huge chunk play. 

He tried to play through a badly injured shoulder his junior year in a season that was over really before it began with Alex Orji and Davis Warren the QBs. He could have just shut up shop and gotten ready for the draft but he reinjured it instead and it cost him his first NFL training camp and lord knows how many weight room days leading up to the combine. 

He's a gamer on top of everything else and wants to play even when it might cost him personal stats if he can help the team anyway he can. Willing blocker and has a mean streak too. Other than maybe not being roided up like Brock he has no weaknesses. Create a player type guy.

Cap off the incredible weekend by having Rodgers look like an old ass loser, please.

Having him realize his potential in the playoffs would be a hell of a boost

I hate Rodgers with every fiber of my being but I'm also low key glad Stroud's arrogant ass is struggling.

Bye bye Rodgers. Please let the door hit you on the way out. 

Official. Rams @ Bears = Sunday at 6:30 ET on NBC

Every pic of Rodgers getting sacked this year looked like this, lol.

It makes me wonder if he will retire now…

Hard to imagine a scenario in which anyone other than the Steelers rearranges the team for him, and it doesn’t seem like the Steelers and Rodgers are gonna continue this relationship.   I would imagine he is done  

What a shame if his final NFL pass is a pick 6 to seal a playoff loss.

I used to think that if you're down by 2 scores with less than 5 minutes the game is pretty much over (at least for the Bears). But we've come back from that kind of deficit 3 times this year.

Tomlin is done in Pittsburgh.

Except he has the power of his army of 15 daughters wishing him well before the game and willing him victory.  He’s going the Philip Rivers route.

Right now showing it’s gonna be like 8 degrees.  Hopefully they can pressure him and make it a all around bad day 

Flipping topics here, I heard (not sure how true) on radio that Indiana will pay for the Bears stadium.  The radio conversation was that the Bears make billions so they should not move.  I still am of the thought that the McCaskey family has wealth from owning the Bears but it is mostly on paper.  Yes they have money but not enough to walk away from the offer.  Indiana knows what it is doing.  They can build for $2B what will cost Illinois $3B.  Tie it in with Hard Rock Casino.

It's closer to me than Arlington Heights.

LIke I said before, I have no doubt Indiana will whore itself out in order to try to win this. Really it is up to Illinois to how deep they want to dig.

Agreed but he meatball Bears fans still think the Bears have $8B sitting in a checking account. 

I think if IN pays the full amount it gets built in IN.  Greg's high school may even play their football championship there LOL

I think that has been a problem for a while in Chicago sports in general.  We have a lot of paper rich owners in this city, and not cash flow rich.  Especially before the Ricketts bought the Cubs, outside of maybe the Hawks owners, these guys wealth was largely tied up in the fact that they owned teams.  Jerry being a real estate guy meaning, again, a dude whose wealth is NOT liquid.  The McCaskeys are literally rich because they own the Bears.  Unless they sell the team, they don't have billions sitting around to build a stadium, so the offer IS important to them.

Wirtz/Ricketts

Reinsdorf - I would think he has wealth access not as much as above but more than McCaskey

The McCaskeys are a mom and pop operation and they are spending a lot more on the operation then they have in the past.  Dennis Allen is making $5M.  Not certain the stadium is generating the revenue to pay for a minimum of $2B in Debt servicing.  There needs to be other businesses to shift funds around and I am not certain they have this.
