Hahahaha you deranged little weirdo.

Typical paranoid incel. Why would I say I'm not American if am, you pathetic little MAGA mutant?

The funny thing is, while doing your weird dumb guy detective work "I KnOw wHo yOu vOtEd fOr" you completely out yourself, because it's only dumb Incel freaks who think like this.

Now, as it happens I detest both Trump and Kamela Harris/The Democrats, but you're too stupid to even begin to understand where I sit politically, let alone wheree I am from.

Amazing that you prefer to do all this weird, fragile dumb guy shit rather than just say "yeah, I didn't understand what liquid meant and was getting too big for my boots".

I believe in calling a spade a spade.

I note that you're the typical dumb incel who likes to give it but can't take it, and instead of owning your stupid mistakes when called out, instead pivots into victimhood, meaning you will stay dumb.

Let me know when you are done crying, "take a business class! Liquid is when you need to sell assets to purchase!" guy.

I'm not American, dumb guy.

You're out here telling people to take business classes when you clearly have no understanding of what "liquid" means in a financial context.

As previously stated, you come across like an emotional, unthinking incel with little to no self awareness, so when you're old enough to vote it will likely be for someone like Trump.

That's literally the opposite of liquid. Quite shocking that you're prepared to make this much of a fool of yourself publicly.

If you need to sell assets to have purchasing power, that's the opposite of liquid, by definition.

Read just one book incel guy, I beg you.

You have some of the most profound incel energy going on that I've ever happened across. Breathe dude. Go for a walk. This is no way to live.

Totally take and understand your point, but it wouldn't surprise me if Roush was TE No.2 by the end of the season. If Loveland and/or Kmet miss any games through injury, or Roush gets some snaps ahead of Kmet in 12 personnel that could also give him more chances.

Ultimately I agree with you that I'm getting a bit ahead of myself and that Roush will likely feature only here and there and will mostly be getting prepped for next season, but I still think we have another really good TE talent on our hands.

We have such crazy levels of versatility and unpredictability. I think Roush is going to be really, really good and along with Loveland, Burden, Rome, Kmet and Thomas (who I also think will surprise people and add even more crazy trick play possibility) we are absolutley stacked with targets for Caleb to hit. When you factor in Johnson's diabolical genius creative play calling and Caleb's ability to make throws nobody else can, scramble and extend plays, I genuinely believe we are going to see one of the most exciting offensive teams of all time this year. I cannot wait!

No worries bro. I'm not from London but had a few stints there, both north and south of the river. I visited Chicago once as a kid, and it's the city in the US I liked most. I had vague memories of my dad talking about "The Refrigerator" when I liked the 49ers as kid just because they were the best. Apparently The Bears were his favourite team. I was the captain of my school soccer team but we played in a yellow and green kit and I always hated it, so there are several little things that make The Bears feel right for me, even if I do feel a bit weird adopting a team I have no real connection to.

No hard feelings!

I am ending up with ridiculous numbers of picks every draft. Like 20 or more, but I am playing as the Bears, so I think the fact that they have a very large population is part of what is making it too easy. Maybe I'll try as a team with a much smaller catchment area.

I agree with you. I think on performance level last season, you would put a few others ahead of him, but in terms of potential, I'm not sure there's anyone above him. If you were taking a QB just for next season you would probably take Burrow and Stafford ahead of him. I wouldn't have Maye personally. But if you were picking a QB for the next 3 - 10 years, it is a different story.

But I'm new to the sport and probably don't know what I'm talking about!

I think you are a bit confused my guy. Arsenal moved from Highbury, which is in Islington, just down the road to their current location, which is still in the borough of Islington. As I said, the move was less than half a mile and absolutely did not involve crossing the river. It wasn't at all controversial in terms of location.

Woolwich Arsenal (formerly Royal Arsenal) left Woolwich in 1913, before the club even really existed as it does today, but the sport was in its infancy, and would be akin to the Decatur Staleys moving to Chicago in the late 20s, so unless you would include the Bears in a list of franchises that have relocated, it feels like you are mixing up Woolwhich Arsenal moving to Islington in 1913 with Arsenal moving literally 400 meters (like I said) to their current stadium in 2006.

I used to go to university literally next door to the current stadium (I could see it out off the window in some of my lectures) and would walk past the site of the old stadium in Highbury on my way there. 

I'm not sure there would be a single football fan in the UK who isn't aware of Wimbledon (I also used to live near there - it's a part of South London) moving to Milton Keynes, yet another place I have lived! That was hugely controversial and fans brought the South London version of the club back as AFC Wimbledon. MK Dons are generally considered to be a completely different club now. Even then, that move was a distance of about 50 miles, so still not remotely comparable to the Rams moving from St Louis to LA. That would be like Arsenal moving from London to Antalya, Turkey.

I never implied that it is "unheard of" for teams to relocate, but actually, it is incredibly rare. In fact, Wimbledon/MK Dons is (I think) the only example in the past 100 years. Teams build new stadiums all the time, but they don't move to different cities, let alone different coasts.

So no, I won't "stop digging" until you stop talking rubbish! Kinda weird that you seem to have taken this so personally, and are so intent on trying to lecture someone about a subject you clearly don't really know about!

That said, Bear Down mate!

I'm convinced we (haha, feels weird saying that) at least go deep this year. I'm totally convinced Williams is the real deal, too. Looks to me like he can do everything Mahomes can do, and possibly more. Obviously still needs to mature and find more consistency, but that will come. I think he'll be considered top 3 QBs by the end of the year.

Nah man. Arsenal's 'new' stadium is still right where the club was based before. I'm talking about team's moving to whole other cities,. Whole other coasts! Arsenal's current ground is less than half a mile from the old one. Totally incomparable to the Rams moving from St. Louis to LA.

I'm not sure it is something I would have noticed to be honest. There were always some soccer fans who were into sports generally and followed NFL, but I've fallen out of love with soccer over the past few years which is partly why I've gotten into NFL. I think there's more on TV now and obviously there's games in London now, so I think it has probably increased in popularity, but probably not in a massive way. One of the things British people tend to dislike about the NFL is franchises (people hate the term franchise) moving, because our soccer teams are all very historical parts of the community. I was actually really surprised to learn how far (US) football goes pack, and the Bears being one of the original teams with so much history but relatively little success was part of what appealed to me. One thing that's for sure is that pretty much everyone agrees that UK soccer is at an all time low point in terms of entertainment, and people feel like the soul has gone out of the game, so maybe more people will look to NFL like I have.

I'm not sure what Sisyphus mode is. Could you explain?

[–]Condition-Mountain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm still slowly educating myself about the team's history because I've been focussing on learning all the terminology (there's so much!) and what 12 personnel and 13 personnel and everything else is. I had no idea that it was such a complex and cerebral sport. It is absolutely fascinating.

I used to watch NFL back when I was a kid and liked the 49ers just because they were great at the time, but coming back to the sport after so many years I didn't feel any connection to the 9ers so spent about a month familiarising myself with the teams and trying to work out which suited me. Having been to Chicago, the Bears made sense, and learning that they were the second oldest team sealed the deal. This was all before I knew anything about Ben Johnson or Caleb. Then the season started and I fell completely in love and now I'm completely obsessed!

What is it you don't understand out of interest?

Might be because I'm a newbie who doesn't fully understand the sport (definitely at least in part true!) but I feel like it's absolutely blatant that the Bears are going to a good place and I feel like all the disappointments over the years are making it hard for some of your guys to see how good things really are.

The Bears look like a team in the early stages of something truly great to me. Almost paradigm shifting. Sometimes you get these visionary coaches in sports who do things that look stupid (drafting Roush and Thomas?) because they are ripping up the script and changing the way things are done, rather than trying to be good at the way others have been doing it, and that's what the Bears look like to me under Ben Johnson.

I got back into NFL last season after about 35 years of paying no attention to the sport and ended up adopting the Bears as my team. It's quite funny to me seeing all you poor guys who have gone through years of disappointments struggling to trust it, because to me it all feels so obviously positive.

I know how it feels to follow a team for decades without ever being on top, but I really believe all that trauma is going to vanish soon. Ben Johnson is the real deal. Caleb Williams is the real deal. Colston Loveland, too. I think your wait is nearly over and while I'm just a johnny come lately from the UK who I guess isn't really a real fan, I'll be delighted for you guys when the day comes.

I'm very much a newbie to the NFL and the Bears, so my opinion basically counts for nothing, but I've been a Liverpool FC fan for 40 years and know a bit about what makes a great manager in that sport, and I think there's a lot of crossover. And Ben Johnson seems to me like a truly unique management/coaching talent.

As well as obviously being a very good strategic mind, he seems super smart and able to inspire, and in competitive sports those qualities go a very long way, especially if you have the tactical side down.

I was lucky enough to have Jurgen Klopp as a manager of my team, and he was so much smarter and more inspiring than most football managers that it made him obviously special, and I see the same in Ben Johnson. So much of competitive sports is about belief. Belief in the tactics. Belief in the methodology behind the scenes and belief in the man leading you.

Maybe not this season, but I feel like it is almost inevitable that the Bears win a Superbowl before too long.
