Try to find a sports franchise more incompetent than the Bears. First they announce the hiring of a coach who has not agreed to terms.

A few years later they pay more than $300,000 to a search firm only to hire a GM from their own conference. During this time a member of the office staff is allegedly betting on games and nobody notices.

The great Michael McCaskey (a Harvard graduate) cannot get a deal on a new stadium. Now this year the Bears go through another draft without a GM. They pick an oversized receiver with average speed from the Big Ten–an exact replica of D’Wayne Bates. Of course they have trouble signing the pick and have just found out their best player needs back surgery as a result of an injury from last season.

What a sorry organization.
