THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL
BEARSSSSSS
Lawmakers sweeten pot to keep Bears in Illinois, with stadium bill linked to statewide property tax relief
Illinois going for the Hail Mary?
Bears should count on Coby Bryant to carry them at safety rather than sink major draft capital into position
Can he play both positions back there at the same time?
Bears QB Caleb Williams eyes leap, says 2025 ‘really wasn’t anything’
More. More! MOAR!!!!!!!
Bears QB Caleb Williams: I’ll probably talk ‘Iceman’ with George Gervin soon
Legit. Be sure to talk it over with Red Grange as well.
Bears picking up Darnell Wright’s option for 2027
Biggest no-brainer of the offseason. Now they can start working on an extensions with leverage, it would have made zero sense to let him on the free-agency threshold.
Coby Bryant Willing To Do Everything for the Chicago Bears’ Defense
That’s fine, but he can only play one spot at a time.
Edge Rusher Still Fits Bears’ Biggest Need in First Round of 2026 NFL Draft
I dunno, I might argue that a DT that can create pressure is the biggest need.
POLISH SAUSAGE

Pranking draft picks is некультурный (nekulturny)
KNOW THINE ENEMY
Vikings giving Harrison Smith “as much space as possible” as he makes 2026 plans
Rumor has it that that are leaving “as much space as possible” because he eats far too much cabbage for that to be a comfortable smell to be near if/when gas is passed. Of course I don’t believe that for a minute. That would be rude.
Justin Jefferson: It’s good for J.J. McCarthy to feel the pressure that Kyler Murray brings
See above comment about pressure.
49ers think there’s “a chance” they can trade Brandon Aiyuk
I think there’s a chance that I still have a chance with Scarlett Johansson. We all have our little delusions.
Andy Reid: Patrick Mahomes is doing great, we just have to be smart
Well, you did just get rid of Matt Nagy so that was a start on smart…
WR Eric McAlister broke a foot at TCU’s Pro Day
Tough break for the young man.
