    It was a good read,placing the onus mostly on ownership for making cheap,stupid mistakes.
    Honestly,they could have laid into them even harder,IMO.
    For a family who's only business is the team,you would think they could get it right,but noooo.
    Jerry Jones may be a tool,but he is a savvy businessman,Virginia and the boys could learn a few things,
    if they were paying attention.
    As usual,the light is on,but nobody's home.

    DB is going to rip this thing to shreds, it claims the mc's are cheap; and gawd knows that db, as an unofficial employee cannot allow that to be said w/out ripping it.

    I'm going to disagree with this author & say that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is the worst owner in professional sports. Granted, the author makes very good points about Chicago ownership but the Bears are a few years removed from a Super Bowl appearance. Sterling's Clippers would NEVER make an NBA Finals appearance.

    its an idiotic article, and shocked you think its good.

    The Bears are located in the second largest market in the NFL, yet they play in the smallest stadium.
    This allows the McCaskeys to charge season ticket holders a fortune, while routinely putting an inferior product on the field.
    If the Bears played in an 80,000-seat stadium, like real NFL teams, they would not be able to charge anywhere near what they do for season tickets and would be forced to spend money on premium players in order to fill the stadium.
    His "premise" that somehow building a smaller stadium means more money for the owners, beyond idiotic- the bears receive zero, zilch, nada from the secondary market of higher ticket prices, so if we had a 80,000 stadium would mean an extra $12 mill/yr to the mcaskey's bottom line. whereas the smaller stadium means NOTHING to their bottom line, so his idea wrong- the secondary prices go to scalpers or even long time season ticket holders financing their own tickets, so if anything its conter-intuitive to say it hurts the fans. And the 10+ year waiting list tells you whether the stadium was 60,70 or 80 or 890K it sells out and makes no difference in any football decisions.The price of the tickets to STh in line with the league

    Following the 2006 season, which featured a lucky Bears team being defeated in the Super Bowl, the Bears had a huge amount of money available to acquire free agents. Instead, the McCaskeys, content with their failure to win it all, decided to stay under the cap in order to divvy up a few more million dollars amongst themselves.
    That is completely inaccurate, we actually spent right up to the cap so again a completely false statment- but never expect much from a high school kid trying to be a 'wanne be" reporter- and always cracks me up the old "lucky" to get to the superbowl nonsense or ignoring paying for peppers, cutler, urlacher ,hester ,briggs, harris etcetc etc

    i get the emotionalism of after a loss saying everyone sucks and all is lost, but to say an article that is completely inaccurate and makes zero sense is 'good" sad.. and just being factual

    Just remember... every time there's a sellout; Virginia gets a new fur coat!

    Heard it was made of exotic lynx fur this week.
