The athletic is home to the most articles I wish I could read and never will because they are stubbornly married to a pay for play scheme that died over 20 years ago.

I'll probably squat 3 of you, or two of these "fat cat" CCSers. Pun intended.
My lifting life cycle was complete when I inspired a giant playing in the Mexican professional basketball league.
We worked out at the same little rink dink college gym well after we were alumni. I did play against him at midnight once when he graced the regular kid hard court rats with his presence.
As the second biggest guy I had to guard him, but giving up 4 inches and 100 lbs got completely owned without his trying.
It was at the gym on a fateful afternoon he caught me deadlifting 450-550 lbs for reps with my spindly, pale, scrawny ass
sticks for legs and toothpicks for wrists . He came over grinning mid set, and chuckling...and I asked this giant if he was laughing AT me.
He said "nah man,"
"That's truly inspirational."I'll never forget it.
So I like to think this massive dude is out there somewhere getting well marbled and squatting houses.

Yeah I get it. I refused to subscribe to them for a very long time; until they started accepting PayPal in fact. Despite PayPal being controversial at times, I have a couple of thoughts on it.
- I figure that however imperfect PayPal is, they know a lot more about keeping payments secure than all but the largest merchants. Put another way, unless a company has their own dedicated card and payment security staff, I don't want to give them my credit card. That's not to say that PayPal hasn't had breaches- but honestly, everyone has had breaches. I'll still take my chances with a large payments provider than a small to medium sized merchant.
- If as a merchant you don't accept PayPal, chances are you screwed someone along the way and got your merchant account revoked. In other words, if a merchant accepts PayPal, it adds to their legitimacy. I do know that there have been some merchants with legitimate issues with PayPal and their propensity to hold onto your money for weeks until they're good and ready. I've even had them to do this to me, and I'm an ex-employee.

I can only remember ever stealing my father's axe, a few times.
Why teach me to use it if he didn't want me to steal it?

Well it appears his lessons took a little too well. Perhaps there is time yet to correct and change at least in spirit or intention to at least die honorably.

The thing with Claypool was it looked like he was starting to come on in that game he got hurt, then the injury. The rest of the season does not really matter after that. It is a wait and see approach this season with Claypool to get a better picture (better protection and more skill players around opens the field for all receivers and backs). I like where the Bears are right now with the receiver core, including Claypool.

The Athletic has a large lineup of qualified writers who don't use sensationalism to get clicks.
They write actual journalist-quality stuff, not blogger crap.
They get facts, they provide insight, and they aren't immature knuckleheads.

What have I said that isn't factual? Please tell me what isn't factual about Justin Fields being a below average NFL passer...
I said the Bears should start Khalil Herbert ahead of David Montgomery last year because he was clearly a far better player and a better fit for the system. I caught hell for that too. How could I make such a statement after only 4 games starting from Herbert.
This shit isn't rocket science.
Here let me put it to you another way. The Bears improved their offensive line but they didn't improve it enough for Justin Fields to play at a high level. Most of this board is enamored with Ryan Poles and Justin Fields and they think he'll be far better than last year. The fact of the matter is the offensive line might go from horrible to below average.
For Justin Fields to succeed there will have to be a huge leap of improvement from Braxton Jones and Wright will have to play better than any rookie OT ever. This doesn't mean right won't eventually be good but it's a huge ask for him to be average in year one.

You don't seem to understand the difference between fact and opinion.
