Pete would absolutely improve this Bears team, no doubt. His ceiling these days is an early playoff exit I'm afraid. The NFL has evolved beyond his ability to adapt.
If the Bears want a Superbowl window within Caleb Williams' rookie contract (the easiest time for a team to make it seems to be while their QB is on a small contract), then Pete is not the right move. I would be Ben Johnson or bust if I was the Bears FO.
I wish I had record of it.
They had reached out to me after years of no contact to catch up and we chatted back and forth for a day just telling each other what was new in our lives and how good it was to talk after so lomg. Then immediately after, they cut me off completely for the last few years of their life. I'll never know exactly why, but I suspect they just didn't want to burden me and others with all the things they were struggling with (a string of bad luck so uniquely terrible anyone that knew them would know who I was talking about if I said everything I knew about here).
A couple months before they passed, they completely dropped off the face of the earth and their Facebook was hacked. When whoever now owned the account got tipped off that I knew they were a scammer, they blocked me and I lost all of our message history.
I have never hated a complete stranger more than whoever this person is.
They might be ESL or have a disability that affects their ability to write. What they wrote here might be a huge improvement over what their English writing looked like a year ago.
Attack their ideas, not their language. Plenty to go after there without targeting the person behind them.
He scored me 55 points last night! What???
Damn has it been 7 years already? I remember the "pretty good, for a RB" jokes when they were genuine, before Lamar had proven he could pass as well as run. Now the dude's outplaying Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and has put up a few of the best all time QB performances in the last few years.
Starting to understand all the folks that have been following the game for 20+ years, it's wild how fast the time goes...
It's basically a requirement in the US to file a lawsuit to get anything done with regards to businesses doing shady/illegal shit. There's just too much bullshit for the agencies responsible to go after every single offender. And corporations know it.
Is this... a Cloverfield meme?
TLDR:
Return rates have increased substantially, but not quite to the level they'd hoped. Injury rates aren't public yet, but they seem lower. Expect return rates to increase a bit more in the second half of the season.
New kickoff rules expire after this season, hopefully they reinstate them plus shift touch backs to the 35 from the 30 to further incentivize returns.

The Dynasty Cube is a collaborative, league-style draft in which teams of players draft through the history of Magic, starting with the first handful of sets, and cumulatively adding sets in chronological order in subsequent Seasons. Drafts are done rotisserie style online, with matches played through the following weeks to determine a Champion. The collaborative aspects of The Dynasty Cube have also heavily inspired by Blaseball - expect The League to evolve into something entirely different over time.
The League is currently looking for additional participation to keep the final Beta phase moving before the first Season begins at the end of this month.
The first Beta phase (Season 0) just completed (congrats to the Season 0 Champions, Innistrad Creeps!), and The Season 0.5 Draft begins today, Thursday Oct 3rd. This will be a "Draft-Only" Season intended to work out any bugs in the progression between seasons. The League will reset before beginning the first real Season that follows.
As no matches will be played in Season 0.5 and everything resets shortly after, the stakes are as low as they're ever going to be to jump in and see what The Dynasty Cube is all about!
The inaugural Season 1 will begin the week following CubeCon, with the Draft kicking off Oct 24th.
Additional details about The League and Season 1 list.
Discord server where you can join a Team and start participating!
If you have any questions about The League that aren't answered in the links above (or, hell, if you're just to lazy to click them), I'll be answering them here for as long as people are asking 'em!
I fucking hate this rhetoric.
Voting for a third party is not "taking a vote away" from anyone.
You're arguing with someone who would in all likelihood JUST NOT VOTE if not for an alternative option. If you want assurances that fascism doesn't get voted in, how about you direct that passion towards getting people to vote for someone, anyone, instead of staying at home? That is the only certain way of getting not-the-GOP-candidate elected time and time again. Republicans always come out to vote in about the same numbers every election. Just get more people voting, and not only do the Dem numbers go up, but the viability of a third party goes up astronomically as well.
Just VOTE. For anyone!
Oh, hell yeah. Always wanted to watch the ELF while I lived in London, but it was impossible to find a free stream.
If only the situation were even that "good" for Palestine. It's been an occupied territory by Isreal for years - long before last Oct. There already are "border fences" - Gaza has been under blockade by Isreal for at least 2 decades, restricting any movement of Palestinians. I recommend having a look at a map to see just how dire the situation is for Palestine when they have Isreal right in the middle and all around simultaneously.
Palestine isn't even recognized as a country by several, including - conveniently - Isreal and the US.
So, neither of those proposed alternatives would really be a good argument to Israel I'm afraid.
It's my first automatic watch. Had been working great until a few months ago, now it seems to struggle to keep a charge and occasionally sticks even when it should still have a charge. Need to find a place to take it in, sadly I've now moved from London to Chicago or I'd have just brought it back to the seller.
Interested to know how you think this will make kickoffs worse. It will make them more risky for the kicking team - is that what you mean? This change would further incentivize the kicker to kick the ball into an area where the returner has to field the ball, which increases kickoffs actually returned, and hopefully results in more exciting game moments.
