The [Monday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

Wow, I wanted to come out firing on all cylinders today and had material all lined up and instead I'm knocked out with a bug of some sort that has the best of me. I started with a cough a few days ago and went into full preventive mode, downing chicken soup and various liquids and so on, but to no avail. It doesn't feel serious, but at the moment I'm achy and coughy and generally feel funny - and not funny like a clown. Concentrating hurts. So it looks like I'm out for today, but I really, really, really want to be back tomorrow. Even later today or tonight. I've got an awesome podcast in post-production and tons of other stuff for the whole site, so let's just see if I can push through and get back on the horse here. (Back on the horse?) I feel like I need tea. And whiskey.

Spend a whole year walking backwards OR another year riding off a cliff?

Charter a plane OR a school?

Pave paradise OR tear down a parking lot?

So just to be clear: Ernie Accorsi is now the most important person in the #Bears organization. And he's not even in the Bears organization.
