Like a puppeteer - albeit a strange looking, incomprehensibly inept one - Bear Chairman "King" George McCaskey is setting the stage for a Bear Black Monday, an occurrence occurring far too often under his reign but one his failures to transform the Bears into anything but laughingstock has necessitated.
There's the Kingster's President, "Sweaty" Teddy Phillips, purportedly leaking leaks to the media that unsuccessful General Manager Ryan "Snails" Pace is in danger of being swept out with the rest of the garbage that is John Fox, "We Can't Lose" Vic Fangio, "Bowel" Loggains and a strengths and conditioning coach who appears to have implemented a program more befitting octogenarians than football players subject to the rigors of a 16-game season.
There's young Snails himself, purportedly leaking leaks that his job is safe and he - not evil overlord Phillips - will select the next Head Coach while obliquely suggesting he has nothing to do with the current mess because he didn't get to select the last one.
Hell, there's even fat, factious "Uncle" Ernie Accorsi, who in "consulting" with the Giants appears to have sold them like he previously sold the Bears on the crotchety, arrogant Fox, as they simply wait for the fox fur to fly on Monday so they can swoop in and claim their prize. Accorsi has turned into one of the most puzzling and bizarre pieces of Bear history and seems like he'll never go away. the shoopster can't decide if that's something to truly worry about or merely another piece of the odd comedy this franchise seems to revel in.
And then there's the "King" George himself, earnest as always in his commitment to restoring Bear pride (which centers around two championship wins in the modern era and a real good record when the game was something unrecognizable played on farm fields), but incompetent as ever in leading an organization toward success.
This is all the Kingster's circus, and he has his 37-and-59 record as Chairman since taking over for effete brother Michael to thank for it. on Black Monday, we'll see his latest machination.
If he sweeps Pace it with the rest of the garbage polluting the purview of Halas Hall, Pace will have no one but himself and his 14-and-33 record to blame for his loss. If the Kingster keeps Pace on and gives him another chance, it will be a defeat for accountability but perhaps George's last chance to try to build a lasting administration and nice something - anything - forward. The last word - as always - will be "Sweaty" Teddy's.
Despite reports that the Sweatster is already working the phones on coaching candidates, Bear fans are desperate to believe he's merely doing the Pacester's bidding and that the well-coiffed quagg is the man in charge. Behind this of course is the commonly accepted practice of the Head Coach choice being that of the General Manager. If Ryan Pace takes the podium alone to announce the well-deserved firing of the wretched Fox on Black Monday, then the Kingster has stepped in to normalize the hierarchy within Halas Hall. If Phillips is anywhere in front of the media, then it's business as usual. It's really that simple.
The Kingster has a chance here to show the fanbase who's really running football operations within Halas Hall's hallowed halls. The Black Monday presser will tell the tale.
