The Bears trading for Nick Foles won't change anything for the team

The fact that the Bears got Nick Foles and it is so perfect, by the way, that Nick Foles, I know he's a Super Bowl MVP, but it's not going to change anything. The Bears are still kind of stuck in what they are.

The Bears finished 8-8 and Foles was eventually benched back for Trubisky. The team remained mediocre as predicted.

I'm nervous that the 2020 NFL season might actually be cancelled or pushed back

I've reached the point where it started to hit me that football season might get [cancelled]. Okay, and yeah now it's real.

The season was not cancelled; it started on time in September 2020.

I will get in great shape during quarantine by walking around Brooklyn in an 80-pound weight vest

You guys right now are looking at the guy who just purchased an 80-pound weight vest. So I'm going to get back in shape. I'm gonna start walking around Brooklyn with a weight vest... I'll be walking around like Zion.

Big Cat did not famously transform his physique via an 80-pound weight vest during 2020.

It is never a smart move to sign a running back to a long-term contract

I know inside my own head that it's never smart to pay a free agent running back or just a running back in general a lot of money and to link them up to a long-term contract... none of those are going to be good takes three years from now, and I know that.

The value of running backs has continued to plummet in the NFL, with few long-term deals working out for teams.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.
