The cheapest Bears/Packers tix on StubHub right now are nearly $400 each. Wow, people are crazy.

Too bad they apply higher standards to Simmons than the other guys they hire.

 

This is almost two years old from Deadspin, but worth a read re: the "journalistic standards" at ESPN...

Will Leitch had a good article on the Simmons situation: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/96333...espn-suspension

 

I do disagree with the point he makes that the only reason ESPN has all the power is live sports. That might be a key differentiator today, but what made ESPN big was SportsCenter. A huge portion of the day you can watch news all about sports. Or not watch - you don't have to pay close attention, it can just be the thing that's on in the background. I almost wonder if some of the other channels are screwing up by not focusing on this. NBCSN, I don't want to watch cycling. Tell me the same thing about yesterday's sporting events over and over.

He is cool, I dont mind him. He is a Bills fan though, so he is a bit off his rocker and babbles a lot

I've been able to go to a bunch of Packers vs. Bears, but all here in Chicago. Never saw them play the Bears in Green bay.

Bears rule concussed DT Jeremiah Ratliff OUT for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Damn, 2 weeks in a row. He was very good the first 2 weeks. Guess I'm just glad all it is a concussion and not something worse.

It must be a fairly serious concussion.

Well a concussion could very well be worse, it just isn't automatically so by definition. The longer a guy is out with a concussion, the more I worry that he'll never be the same. A not noteworthy concussion usually doesn't take 3+ weeks to recover from. Even worse for a lineman who will bang his head against the guy across from him every single down.

Interesting year in DC

@ZachZaidman: Brandon Marshall catching balls from Jay Cutler in warmups. Cutler doesn't waste practice reps. Marshall is playing today.

Jared Allen is inactive today...Hurray for more Willie Young.

Unleash Willie Young!

Willie "Will Eat Your" Young

Brutal call on Peppers to keep the drive alive. Sweet.

Beast Marshall.

Cutler with 9 TD's already. What a year for him.

So sick of Conte not doing his job

Looks like whoever's defense sucks less today will win.

 

The gay dude is pretty good.
