Pace gambled when he decided to go into the 2021 season with inexperienced players Kindle Vildor at cornerback and Marqui Christian and Duke Shelley at nickel. Salary-cap issues prompted Pace to release veterans Kyle Fuller and Buster Skrine in the offseason, and the Bears have paid the price. It’s also obvious that when Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks aren’t on the field, the Bears defense loses a lot of its bite, and both have missed six games. Add in injuries of varying degrees to Eddie Jackson, Danny Trevathan, Jermiah Attaochu and most recently Roquan Smith and DeAndre Houston-Carson, and the Bears’ depth has been seriously tested. The 2018 Bears defense feels like a long way off. At least Robert Quinn has had a fun season, Smith has continued to play well and Johnson provides a shred of hope for the future. Otherwise, the defense’s situation would feel very dark.

There are only 1,000 to 2,000 reindeer in the United States, many of them purchased in small numbers by people with farming backgrounds who fall in love with the animals, according to Jeff Phillips, central region director for the 110-member Reindeer Owners & Breeders Association (ROBA). Growth has been slow but steady since the early 1990s, Phillips said, and today there are about 25 reindeer farms in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.

The pandemic severely disrupted college sports in 2020, though this year’s football season largely came off without widespread scheduling problems. The basketball season that began in early November has now seen the number of postponements or outright cancellations grow in the last two weeks, with Tulane idling its program all week.
