TOPIC 1: GRADE THE BEARS’ OFF-SEASON SO FAR.
Jimmy Greenfield: I give them an “A.” But it stands for something quite different than what you think.
Phillip Thompson: “I” for incomplete. Certainly there’s more coming in that Thomas Jones trade, right?
Rahula Strohl: If trading Thomas Jones means my guy Adrian Peterson gets more carries, then “A.”
Mike North: Worse than any report cardI ever got.
Evil Super Computer: I think you mean “upgrade” them. Next time use me. I’m one hard drive that drives a hard bargain.
TOPIC 2: WHAT IS CEDRIC BENSON THINKING RIGHT NOW?
Jimmy Greenfield: “J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!”
Phillip Thompson: “If I struggle at first, at least we’ll have Rex Grossman to lean on.”
Rahula Strohl: Well, if it’s before he opens his mouth, nothing.
Mike North: “Yes, no competition!”
Evil Super Computer: “Yes, Evil Super Computer, I will obey!”
TOPIC 3: WHAT IS THOMAS JONES THINKING RIGHT NOW?
