For all the angst over the putrid regime Ryan "Snails" Pace has thus far wrought, there is unbelievably an individual within the Bear organization that has somehow nonetheless exceeded the ineptitude of the carefully coiffed quaff, 14-and-34 notwithstanding.
He's a nice guy, a "huge Bear fan" we've been (t)(s)old, and wants more than anything the team to win. He's lived and breathed this franchise since he was a kid sitting in the frozen ticket booths outside the stadium distributing passes into Soldier(s) Field. He's an Everyman not afraid to engage with the fans in the stands. And he's one of the worst Team Chairmen who's ever tipped his teacup to wash down crumpets at Virginia's family breakfast table.
Apocryphal perhaps, but the story goes that Papa Bear himself, on his death bed, croaked out famous last words to daughter Virginia before ascending among us: "Anyone but Michael .... " .... Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep . . .
Flatulent, fey Michael's reign of error is well documented within the various Bear online forii (pl: forum). Mostly and most eloquently of course by yours shoop-ly himself. Michael is generally regarded as an incompetent fool.
"King" George has been even worse.
Indeed, friendly George has made Beardom forget Michael. He's bottomed out by presiding over four straight 10-loss seasons in a row six years into his reign, when the "rebuild" is supposed to be showing dividends. Ponder that as you continue to insist a franchise that doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt must somehow yet again be given it.
The Kingster is responsible for Phil "Emery" Bored. He's responsible for Marc "Canada Dry" Trestman. For John Fox. For Snails himself. For - for Halas's sake - "Uncle" Ernie Accorsi.
At last year's season ending presser announcing the firing of the crotchety Fox and the most undeserved extension in the history of sports front office contracts to Pace, the Kingster put aside the diplomacy in illustrating that Everyman trait that makes him so much more endearing than high-fallutin' Michael despite his incredible inequities in lamenting with regard to the Bears' rebuild, "this is taking a lot longer than any of us thought it would."
It sure is, and the shoopster thinks he knows the reason why . . .
