Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war

Some of y’all might not like my first take, but it’s probably going to be correct…

Mizzou WR Kevin Coleman Jr. said he’s met with #Bears. He’s a St. Louis native just like Luther Burden III, and even took over Burden’s old role (and jersey number) when he transferred in.

And he’s a big fan of Caleb Williams:

I’ve heard this name more than almost anyone aside from Mendoza.

People here expect Ty Simpson to be THE biggest domino of the draft. Where do you think he goes?

The man of the hour.

Soaking in the moment.

Toledo CB Avery Smith mentioned he liked playing in the snow, so I asked him if he met with the Bears and Patriots. Interesting insights into what both teams were looking for in those interviews.

Smith’s a former QB who switched to CB, and says he still thinks the game like a QB.

This look when someone asked Avieon Terrell if he’s talked to the Seahawks says it all.

Has spent half his interview talking about how much pride he takes in tackling at 5-11, 180 pounds. Said being able to wake up and hit someone for free is the best part about football.

I was gonna say because he’s just kinda ubiquitous now as a commentator, and I’m like…weren’t you just saying the same shit a few years ago? We have the receipts!

The Man in the Mask (and surefire first-round pick):

Rueben Bain Jr.

Asked Texas Tech DT Lee Hunter what he wants to get better at in the league. Really engaging. Teams are going to love him.

#NFLCombine

Just heard Georgia’s Christen Miller say he’s planning to meet with the #Bears today.

Said he brings “violence” to the game and has learned a lot from past Bulldog defenders who are now in the NFL, like 2025 draftee Mykel Williams.

Kayden McDonald’s scouting report on himself is pretty straightforward.

Adds that he had a “really great” meeting with #Bears and knows they need DT help. Prides himself on disruption and consistency, not stat-chasing.

Choosing to wear that Team USA sweater or uniform at this moment is a political choice (though it can mean different things for different platforms). Associating with that dude is a political choice. Complaining about everything being too political is a political choice. Let’s not be obtuse.

So Kelsey Mitchell and Kelsey Plum lowkey hate each other, I see…I’m invested.

This Unrivaled 1-on-1 tournament is just a fun idea.

Bears Elevate Pass Game Coordinator Press Taylor to Offensive Coordinator The Bears have a new offensive coordinator, and it’s someone who knows what Ben Johnson expects to be done. @kdthompson5 with more here.

Press Taylor is the perfect hire for the #Bears. He already has experience supporting a play-calling HC as an OC, and just spent a year watching what Ben Johnson wants from someone in that role. If Ben thinks he's the right guy for the job, that works for me.

In all seriousness:

No one’s accusing Belichick of being up for a Nobel Peace Prize. But this is petty by the voters. Plain and simple. And it seems clear people still fundamentally don’t like the Patriots.

Which is why I hope they win it all in two weeks.

The new GOAT

This lol

1. Bill Belichick having to wait a year to get into the Hall is objectively stupid. No one asked for this moral policing of the game. He’s the greatest coach of all time. Period.

2. He did make Malcolm Butler wait til next year instead of playing him in the Super Bowl… (ducks)

Wolves-Warriors postponed to tomorrow. The right call by the league

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

Caleb Williams might be Jesus. Can’t confirm or deny, but that’s the word on the street.

Kayshon Boutte, oh LAWD.

Just give it time, and he’ll give you the ball
