I dont have paramount +. Any other way to watch it?
Not that I know of. I think you can get paramount for like $5/month if you can deal with commercials. I’m just using my sister’s.

It's crazy how many streaming services there are now. I'll end up paying the same outrageous prices I was for cable to have all the streaming services I want lol

Probably wouldn’t know.
Being a Bears fan, you'd think I could remember because we fire everyone every 3 or 4 years, but I seem to remember the search only lasted a couple of weeks.

Is that about right? I figure it will be a little longer this time tho. Do you guys expect an announcement right around the SB? That's right around a month.

I honestly have no clue. I see no need to rush this though and hope they do as thorough a job as possible. Get it right George.

If the guy they wants team is in the playoffs could be 4-6 weeks. I think all the harbaugh rumors have cooled off cause the raiders are in the playoffs. We probably weren’t in the picture it’s raiders or new contract at Michigan.

I thought the same thing. If Harbaugh was going to happen...I think we'd hear about an interview by mid-next week.

I don't get the Steelers thing with Kahn. When was the last time they were relevant in the conversation of winning a championship? I couldn't name you more than a small handful of players on their roster. Nobody besides TJ Watt stands out as a draft pick, and their head coach is a wizard who gets the team to overperform every year relative to their overall talent level.

I don't look at Pittsburgh as this mecca for acquiring football talent, and I can't really understand why people think looking at their organization for GM's is a good idea.

For what it's worth...Ryan Day is in the same boat.

I never realistically thought these 2 were coming. Good news to me honestly.

Right but if you trade with your family then you can end up paying for 1 or 2 and having all of them.

Right now I have Netflix, Hulu, HBOmax, paramount+, discovery+, appletv and Disney+. I’m only paying for two and I don’t have cable. Oh and Amazon is included in prime. So I guess technically 3.

The Pace hire took 10 days, I read that somewhere recently. I would expect GM to be pretty quick and HC a few weeks after.

Pittsburgh is one of those teams that's truly a QB away. Tomlin is one of the 5 best coaches in football.

Loads of experience, successful offenses, an established identity, developed an MVP, loves the run, and has worked/developed numerous QBs with similar skill sets to Fields

Why bring him in?
#Bears
It is odd that he is not being mentioned

I wonder if he has dog shit breath? Nuclear fart problem? Really doesn’t make sense that he’s not even getting interviews

6 out of 10 seasons with 10+ wins and no losing seasons. They did have Big Ben but he hasn't been a special QB for a few years now. Definitely a solid organization.

But I agree with you on Kahn. I either want an assistant GM, director of pro personnel or director of college scouting. Those are really the only 3 people with major weight in personnel decisions. Kahn is an executive and may have had little to do with talent acquisition. I think he is worth a look but I would need insider info that he was heavily involved in the draft and free agency before I would even consider him.

Look for deals. Right now I pay for Netflix, and AppleTV (I don't count Amazon Prime because free shipping offsets the cost). Due to having Verizon, with my phone plan, I get the Hulu/Disney+/ESPN+ along with Discovery+ for free. With my xfinity account, I get paramount+ for free. I also get YouTubeTV and bundle in HBOMax...then split that with a friend so we each pay half...that won't work with everyone, but it does for us due to living in the same area and only streaming one device per household usually. You could do the same with Netflix and AppleTV. I ultimately pay very little.

Does any of those carry live games and the red zone??

I have ESPN+, Hulu, Netflix and just got Paramount+ when Mayor Of Kingstown started like a month ago. Another really good show.

Ireland would be a disasterous choice, so he's the probable pick, after all this is the bears were talking about here
