Dreaming of a white Snarksmas:
This is rich. This is perfect. This is so Bears.
Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said he’s trying to find a role for free-agent wide receiver Markus Wheaton.
Now, that might seem innocent enough for the worst offense in the NFL. The thought sounds earnest enough in slogging through a 2017 season that ended as soon as Mike Glennon was signed. But it can be viewed as bigger and more laughable than that.
For those of you lobbying for a complete change of regime, that’s John Fox’s guy who calls long-developing pass plays despite an offensive line in chaos and the guy who calls stretch plays for the pound-it-up-the-middle running back is trying to work in Ryan Pace’s guy who has more drops than catches.
The Choice (and remember, death is not an option): The word “brain’’ in the phrase “Bears brain trust’’ or the word “trust’’ in the phrase “Bears brain trust.’’
But say this for Fox: He has continually insisted on losing the job his way.
Ernie Accorsi will serve as consultant for the Giants in their coaching and GM search the way he did for the Bears during their last regime change. Hey, Ernie, looks like Fox will be available again.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell received his expected contract extension despite Jerry Jones’ lunatic yammering. It became so bad that the NFL reportedly debated taking the Cowboys away from him, and I’m thinking, if the other owners wanted to punish Jones badly and ensure the Cowboys stain their Super Bowl legacy, then they should give the team to the McCaskeys.
