The Draft is over. Thank God.

The NFL draft is out of control. For three months everyone talks about players who have not played one down of pro football. Speculation and unending prehash. Then, after the draft, they grade the teams selections. Say what?? That is comparable to a schoolteacher giving a grade on a test based on how the student held her pen and sat in her chair while taking the test. How about waiting until you actually can grade the performance. The rehash...equally exhausting.

I stopped reading the local papers coverage of the Bears. The columnists are spinning tall tales and creating controversy where there is none. The most recent example of this nonsense is the Greg Olsen rap video. Now Olsen has to apologize for doing something dumb but harmless as an 18 year-old college freshman. Olsen now joins millions of current and former 18 year-old college freshman in the stupid act department. What a story. These writers are talentless. David Halberstam is spinning in his grave. Dopes.

I love the Bears, but I will try to get it right. I will try to write well.
