“The biggest thing for us, it’s so hard to sit there and make predictions or project what is or is not going to happen,” he said. “For me to sit up here and say, OK, we haven’t had one practice or one game with each other, and to say what we’re going to look like weeks, months from now, it’s going to be hard to say. But certainly the expectation is you want to be able to compete at the highest level and make deep runs in the playoffs.
Built in 1977 and located just off County Line Road, the house underwent a major renovation after the couple purchased it. The house has 4½ bathrooms, three fireplaces, volume ceilings, stone and wood detailing, walls of glass, white oak hardwood floors, stacked stone walls, designer light fixtures, custom wood shutters and a kitchen with Sub-Zero and Gaggenau appliances. The home also has a first-floor primary bedroom suite with a cathedral ceiling and a private laundry area, a primary bathroom with a fireplace, and a lower level with a rec room, a wet bar and a wine cellar.
“Again, I would like to keep all that private. Please just respect my privacy,” he said. “All the questions kind of leading me into what’s happening, just please, everything will be released at a due date once we get this cleared up. But as of right now, just please respect my privacy regarding anything about home games, what’s happening, vaccination, please.”
But will whichever direction the Bears go in — and for whatever reason — matter? Three games doesn’t tell the story of an entire season, far from it. But it’s enough to leave hints as to what the final outcome might look like. The Bears are 31st in scoring, averaging 13.3 points per game, ahead of only the woeful New York Jets. They’re 32nd in yards per play at 3.3, triple what they averaged against the Browns, who entered the season with seven new starters on defense. The Bears have one pass completion of more than 20 yards, fewest in the league with 20 teams already having eight or more.
“There’s enough factors left that are going to impact who gets the ball, what the roster looks like, all that stuff,” he said. “Right now, if he gave us a real good game today like the last time he faced (the Tigers), that’s important to note.”
“Even last year, Duncs was here and Seabs was around. This year, without those two guys who are such good players, but also their voice carries a lot of weight in the locker room. You’d wake up and be excited to see Seabrook at the rink, just to hear what he had to say. His stupid little jokes all the time. Definitely miss that.
The Cubs don’t feature much postseason experience on their 26-man roster. That group is limited to Willson Contreras, Ian Happ, Kyle Hendricks, Zach Davies, Heuer, Austin Romine, David Bote and Jason Heyward. Davies and Romine are free agents after the season. Collectively, this roster needs to learn how to win together, along with whomever the organization brings in during the offseason.
“I think Hall of Fame voters have become more open-minded about players at all positions,” NBC Sports’ Peter King said during a phone conversation last week. “If you look at what has happened at the safety position in the last five or six years (John Lynch, Steve Atwater, Troy Polamalu, Donnie Shell, Ed Reed, Brian Dawkins and Kenny Easley inducted), what you see is that probably for a 20-year period, there might have been one or two pure safeties put in. Now we all realize as a group that we ignored the safety position in a lot of ways, and so there has been a gold rush. The door might be open, who knows, for a LeRoy Butler or whoever. What I mean to say is not only are there people now looking at positions like safety, which was ignored for a long time, I believe specialists are going to get a longer look than they probably did when I first got on the committee — I hate to say it — it’s been 30 years.
