Glazer reported that the Bears are going to be "Major Players in the QB market" this offseason. Inevitably I am going to get my hopes up for Stafford or Watson and they will get Fitzmagic for 2 years/$12 mil.

When grown men are falling over at 3:30am trying to emulate David Roberts sliding headfirst back into first base in game 4 of the 2004 ALCS, its time to put the whiskey down and call it a night.

The Magic are SO fucked on Friday Feb 5th. LETS GO BULLS! last nights game was atrocious can we please please trade Denzel Valentine.

Hope Peter is doing alright.

Peter should make a full recovery.

There's just no chance the Bears make a good move at QB this season, because they've positioned themselves in win-now mode and realistically shouldn't be there. So, yes, Fitzy (although I would sneaky love that) feels more close to what they'll get.

Also, I love that report in general. Uh, they literally want to make the playoffs next year and do not have a quarterback. So, yeah, that'd make sense?

The “serving my kids fries on the ski trip” line got me good. Another thing I hate is when people say you should root for the packers it’s the nfc north blah blah blah. I don’t really care this team has embarrassed us basically for the past decade, I want to continue watching them lose on the biggest stage. I will not root for them.

I agree I wish we were getting someone better than the Weeknd. Unless Future comes out and raps the best verse of all time on low life we are screwed. I am already sick of him and all the blinding lights commercials. Also, I think we need to start not letting girls in on the squares for real because like you said the dedication we put week in and week out for 21 weeks of the year is exhausting. And awful for the bank account. I love every second of it but one of us should be rewarded. I am also gonna take anywhere between 5-20 prop bets for the game starting with the coin flip and I could not be more excited.

Those Bulls Fridays are exactly what I do on my Fridays. If you want to risk Pritzker busting you again let me know. There really is no better feeling watching the game with the guys and being so passionate without money on it. I think that’s gotta be one of the reasons why we gamble cause we are chasing that. And also why we emotionally bet on our teams cause a win-win like that is really the best feeling

I really liked what you said about hornets type wins compared to lakers type losses. They are on complete opposite spectrums. Those hornets games are games we should be winning or at least competing in. Yeah we basically lost in the first half against the lakers but they also are the number 1 rated defense, tied for 1st in the west and have much more talent. Might even call it a morale victory. Down 30 at half and lose by 11. This team last year loses by 45+. Although lavine played well against the hornets I think he was forcing a little too much. Granted nobody shot well on the team. He was trying to match AD who had quite the first half.

I am unfamiliar with the Bears new DC but seeing that Acho quote fired me up. Also, knowing he worked so well with Fangio is exciting. Since he has left they have had back to back decent/good seasons. We will see.

Let’s get this dub against the C’s. Getting 2009 EC First round vibes

Rooting for the Packers because they're in the NFC North is asinine. This isn't the Big Ten in bowl season. I don't have any allegiance to the NFC North whatsoever.

Low Life would change everything for me. If that happened, I'll delete this newsletter.

I have never won a squares bet, it's actually unbelievable. Super Bowl prop bets are probably the best part of the Super Bowl -- another great call by you.

You deserve merch. I'll see what I can do.

Unfortunately I am writing to you after the Cs game and it was anything but 2009 vibes.

Thanks again for another great comment. Taking over for Carrico in the top spot.

Do we have some bigger size options on those Bulls Friday shirts? If so, that might keep me from commenting on the Wine & Whiskey combination???

Bears, I love anything tied to Vic Fangio.

In other news, as I was driving in this morning The Score was talking about Bears coaching changes(mostly offensive coaches leaving Nagy) and they said that the feeling around Halas Hall is that Nagy will be calling plays again next year. If so, nothing else matters. Prepare for hell again.

The wine and whiskey combination may have to be revisited moving forward. Apparently some of the Bulls Fridays members were in bed until very late the next day.

Agreed on both Bears' fronts.

I have been MIA from the comment section for the last little while and for that I apologize. Please do not hold against me in the annual SGCTC certification renewal meeting. Bulls Friday is absolutely something I can get behind and look forward to participating in. If you aren't kicked out of the apartment after 4 days in October, maybe throw on Best of Johnny Drama or Ari Gold. As for the team on the court, Denzel Valentine's play is approaching a level of irrational hatred I did not know I possessed. Every time he touches the ball, my already elevated blood pressure finds new heights. Let's win a couple basketball games this week and stay on track for the over.

Do we think there is any chance that yesterday was the last time Aaron Rodgers plays in a Green Bay uniform? I know he likes to mess with the media and stir up headlines, but his post game presser sure seemed different than his normal bullshit.

Hey man, no worries.

It did feel different, for sure. But I just feel like there's no plausible way Green Bay doesn't do everything humanly possible to keep him there. Letting him go would haunt the franchise for a long time. I sure hope it happens.

Denzel Valentine is almost on my good side. He's so irrationally confident it makes me laugh. This was unbelievable: https://twitter.com/WashedStar_/status/1353178897702117377?s=20
