So....who is this guy?

I'm going to write in my twitter bio

------ -------- @srbearwrtr

Analyst, former College OC, HFO Bears Writer, covering the Bears since 1982.

That way when I post things I'll be immediately believed and posted here without question.

That is why I personally put more weight into what I read or view from people who have a track record of being insightful about the Bears.  Some are also players who played the game at a high level AND ALSO have been a trusted resource, being proven right over time - a lot.  

Everyone here probably has their favorite sources they value most.  It has been a disappointing start to the season and fans are understandably disappointed about that.  We care.  It is helpful (to me anyway) to see what these trusted resources have to say about the situation.  They may or may not be "right" about it.  But I like to hear their take on it all.  They know a heck of a lot more than I do.  These other wannabee sports media people I may listen to their take but I don't put much weight on their opinion.  I do like how we post a LOT of these "takes" on the situation so people can have something to talk about here.  We don't have to agree with them or each other.  LOL, we never agree on stuff anyway 

Posting news is one thing. Posting MSU stuff from some guy that bought his check mark on twitter and reposts information from real reporters as "my inside source" or flatly making things up is another. We all need to be a little more responsible with what information we believe. Take the Bears tryouts last week where they brought in a KR/PR. On this board we were told "VJJ's fate is sealed, he's gone." But...still here. I say this a lot but one reason I come here so much is that we have some pretty good posters here. The content on this board is fairly high compared to other sports boards. But recently we've lost our minds. Between the revisionist posting (no one--and if you have receipts post them--mentioned trading the #9 pick, but suddenly multiple posters are claiming "I was talking about trading the #9 and drafting [insert player no one mentioned before the draft]) and the posts about when do Poles/Flus/Waldron get fired--before or after the bye week, its like this place has taken crazy pills.
