Never understood the Biggs hate here. Yes he's big and can be a prick(apparently in person), but he's good at his job

He tells it how it is and when it comes to fandom of losing organizations, no one wants to hear that shit. The Bears beat has incredible reporters and then there's Hub Arkush for the 80 and up crowd and Nick Moreno for the twitter tards.

One of my gripes with media, and this is by no means limited to the Bears beat writers, but sports media in general is how many questions they spend/waste on a topic that the person being interviewed is just not going to answer. I get the first couple of questions, but for the love of god, move on. We don't need 7+ questions that are yielding the same non-answer because they have refused to play that game and they told you up front that they would not play that game.
For the Bears, I understand asking some questions about the Roquan situation. But, Eberflus and Poles were clearly not going to talk about it. They told you in their opening statements they were not going to talk about it. So, rather than trying to ask the same question 7+ times, find another topic and actually get some information that they can or will talk about.

First, let’s get through linebacker Roquan Smith’s placement on the physically unable to perform list. Eberflus wouldn’t say what his ailment is, but there’s something there. It came out during his physical on Tuesday. Smith also didn’t take part in the Bears’ conditioning test because of it. Smith briefly rode a stationary bike on the sideline at the start of practice.
Seems Quan might actually have a bit of an injury.

Growing up in Orland Park, Ill., Michael Schofield wanted to be a wide receiver, so he had a Marty Booker jersey.
Then he put on some weight, moved to the offensive line, has been there ever since, and now gets to play for his hometown team where he’s in line to start at right guard.
“I always wanted to land here,” he said. “Definitely growing up, obviously I was a pretty big Bear fan. It’s a dream come true for sure to be able to play here.”
Schofield comes to the Bears with 81 starts in his career, having appeared in 102 games. He has a Super Bowl ring from the 2015 Broncos. He also played for the Chargers and Panthers.
Schofield said that coordinator Luke Getsy’s scheme is “almost identical” to what he did with Kubiak in Denver.
“Just a couple different code words, a couple different techniques and stuff, but it’s pretty much all the same stuff, which is making it easier for me for sure,” he said.

Improvement in any of the 6 categories not all. That would make it much more likely to be LTBE

Yes @dennehy already corrected me earlier but so far sites like OTC are saying his cap hit this year is just 3m. If true that means all of the incentives are deemed NLTBE.

LTBE/NLTBE isn't based on projections or probability. If the condition was met in the previous season then it's considered likely to be earned. If it wasn't met then it's not likely to be earned.

Think he might have just been pointing out that it was any of the 6 as earlier I incorrectly said all 6. But yes either way they would be NLTBE as would not have been met in prior year.

Was that Goldman right before he retired to go to the nearest all-you-can-eat restaurant?

Mack hasn’t been “that dude” since 18. Can he get back there? Certainly possible and he’s definitely under the right HC to do it. He needs to stay healthy first and foremost.
