In football news, the Bears canned offensive coordinator Terry Shea after one year. This is like killing the patient to prevent the spread of the disease. Not too surprising that the Bears blew yet another hire, but this firing is a joke. Even Don Coryell couldn't have made lemonade out of the urine the Bears handed Shea, as well as the injuries. There is no way one year is enough time, given the injuries, to determine whether the St. Louis/KC offense could have worked in Chicago, and based on Lovie Smith's public comments about the firing, we're back to the three yards and a cloud of dust offense that worked so well in prior years. If you really wanted a quick fix, why not fire Lovie Smith? Or better yet, ax Jerry Angelo or Team President Ted Phillips? In a city of pro teams that are jokes, the Bears are quickly becoming the biggest punch line of 'em all.

I want to help generate a loud collective voice of Chicago sports fans calling for the removal of Jerry Angelo as General Manager of the Bears. Once again he has proven his his uncanny knack for wasting first round draft picks. He's gotta go!
