The Chicago Tribune printed this yesterday.

As hope fades for the Bears’ 100th season, it might be time for the McCaskey family to sell the team
Let’s stop messing around as the Bears’ 100th season has begun to resemble their 98th, 97th, 96th, 95th and so on, which is to say they look awful.
Maybe it’s time for the McCaskey family to put its birthright on the auction block.
Perhaps the heirs of NFL founding father George Halas should sell the team.
When a team musters just 9 offensive yards in a half of football en route to a fourth successive loss, it’s time for some honest introspection.
While it is an article of faith that Papa Bear’s dying wish in 1983 was for the franchise to remain in his family’s control in perpetuity when he bequeathed control to daughter Virginia McCaskey, now 96, it’s also safe to say he never wanted his team to go more than three decades without a championship.
