What we heard from new Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus, including building through the draft and what they see in QB Justin Fields

We want an attacking effort-based offense that has great mental focus and intensity and we’re going to measure every single one of those. Obviously, taking care of the ball is the most important thing and then being smart in their situations, being smart, presnap, postsnap and understanding the game of football. And it’s our job as coaches to educate that. So in terms of like philosophy of offense, sure, I want an attacking style, scoring points, protecting the football. Those are things that we’re working through with the staff. We just hired staff member here now. We’ll get to work soon that. So that’s what we’re going to do.

A new federal law targets medical bill surprises. Here’s what patients should know.

A chief nursing officer walks down a hallway in the recently reopened emergency room at a hospital in Houma, La., on Friday, Sept. 3, 2021. Patients worried about getting smacked with an unexpected bill after emergency care gained a layer of protection in January 2022 from a new federal law. The No Surprises Act prevents doctors or hospitals in many situations from billing insured patients higher rates because the care providers are not in their insurer’s coverage network.

Olympic athletes have 1 more thing to stress about in Beijing: The weather — where strong winds are expected, but not much snow

“You only have so many weather days built into the schedule,” said Shiffrin, who once again plans to participate in slalom, giant slalom, downhill, super-G and Alpine combined. “At the end of the day, you can make every move right. You can be rested and ready to go strong. And it still can be totally messed up for, essentially, reasons that are completely out of your control. I don’t really love that idea.”
