Sonny Styles comes in heavier and taller than Arvell Reese. Lol what a freak. 

And goes on to have one of the best combine testing performances ever.

RIP to the great Raymond Berry. Hall of Famer and holder of every imaginable receiving record when he retired. Also had an ok run as a Head Coach. Took the Patriots to their 1st Super Bowl where they were cannon fodder for the ‘85 Bears.

Wow. Looks like Indiana will now have TWO NFL teams. 

Bears appear to be moving to Indiana. 

This is about 15 minutes from where I grew up.

Expected this.  The ILL statehouse finished business a week ago and didn't do anything to help Chicago for a new stadium.  It is like they called the Bears bluff, but they were not bluffing.

I love it. As a downstater, the thought of driving all the way up to Arlington Heights was a hideous thought.

I don’t like the Bears, but it’s technically a shame they’re moving from Soldier Field.  I like a classic city view stadium on the lake.

But, they botched the renovation in ‘03 and obviously it hasn’t worked out with the city and state.

Hopefully it all works out for Hammond and it’s a win for the area etc. etc.  What a crazy turn of events.

There really needs to be a ban on states receiving federal funds if they use public funds to build sports stadiums.

This is only NFL-adjacent, but I’m watching some CFL (let’s call a spade a spade; I’m gambling) and our old pal Mitch McCarthy is punting for the Hamilton Tiger Cats. Stevie Scott plays for Montreal, but hasn’t played in about a month.

I try watching CFL occasionally between now and when CFB/NFL starts but then some guy is 12 yards deep in the end zone trying to return a missed field goal with the goalpost in the front of the end zone and I give up.

Same. It should be fun based on all the popular goofy rules, but something (it could be the horrific QB play) makes it a tough watch.

This is a sad situation.  I am not a Chiefs fan, but I hope she has a speedy recovery.

Welp. At least IU isgood

Colts have given up 300 yards and there's still 5 minutes left in the first half. 

 

NFL defenses aren't supposed to be that bad. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Colts needed a top to bottom change the past few years. Pretty much a lifeless organization in my eyes.  Putting faith in a very mediocre qB, and virtually no super impact makers outside of JT.  Another year to write off.  

[str8baller]

I hate Ballard more than Grigson. He’s such a loser and I was out on him day 1, so it’s been a rough few years. Bleh..,

Playing a Chiefs team on the road next week in prime time ought to help move that change along. It may resemble Howard vs IU.

Anarumo was terrible at Cincinnati for years, somehow the Colts organization believed he would be great in Indy....as long as Ballard is the GM this team will continue to circle the drain!
