I hope that is an attempt at comedy Muda....I am going to give you credit that was the intent.....

Spelling and grammatical errors with me....well, that's just how I roll. I chuckle with the feedback and move on

She’s a beaut Clark!

what say everyone? Wonder if we will see Reg as part of the Heisman House commercials?? https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40014492/reggie-bush-heisman-trophy-returned

I don' believe his reference was to left-handed people....then again, I think you knew that.......

Did his apology truly feel sincere to you?? Also, even if sincere, is an apology enough? Does it wipe the slate clean? I think with Mr. Doyel, its bigger because of his track record. He goes at others for a variety of social issues without reservation. He's been brutal to others and as such, is not a fan favorite. Had his methods been different with his treatment of people, perhaps response to his 2 gaffe's last week would have been different as well.

No one in my mind has been more woke than Doyel over the years, especially going beyond sports to dive at political issues such as covid vaccines, (picking on certain athletes while letting others off the hook) civil war monuments, gun control, etc. Hard to earn much empathy from the local reader base when they have read his countless attacks over the years in the Star and on social media. His apologies through the Star and social media....many not sure they are sincere. Live by the sword...die by the sword.....

Surprised nothing said this week with Doyel repeatedly making poor comments regarding Clark. Tons on social media and national news services...mainly going after Doyel hard. Doyel trying to apologize on social media, but not sure having an impact. Thoughts??

I think his comment was in jest/sarcasm. Innocent on the criminal side....considered liable for the murders on the civil side.....and ordered to pay $33M. Always found that one interesting to say the least...... https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/13/us/oj-simpson-damages.html

huge learning curve in year one for any drafted QB...including year 1. I don't thnk Manning took the Colts to the playoffs in year 1. He also has to have the tools around him.

I am beginning to think you might just be CW's agent...... I am going to be a clear as i can....yes, some of William's past actions...have me question his maturity and overall leadership abilities and readiness. Questioning is not stating. Questioning causes me pause. Your Bears GM may feel totally opposite. Glad Herbie and McAfee are on board...but I bet if you use your favorite search engine, you will find others that have on and off-the field concerns. I am not sure I agree based on CW's performance last year an unbiased person would call him the best of his sport over the past 2 seasons....especially last season. That being said...hope you are correct and he's a great selection for your Bears. While I have pause due to concerns with leadership, doesn't mean the other decision-makers that count do. Again, not so sure why you are fixated on my thoughts. Good luck running the CW fan club....you never know...I may seek you out for membership information in the future. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/caleb-williams-doesnt-talk-media-following-ucla-loss-draft/ Williams is confident. That much is clear when he does interviews. As talented as he is, he has every reason to be confident. But we’ve seen confidence devolve when circumstances change at the NFL level, and that mental swing can be hard to recover from. When the meter turns, and it’s Williams’ turn to stand in front of the media after a tough loss, NFL evaluators will want to know if he can avoid controversy, preserve the team’s focus, and keep his own mental composure. Those concerns, as irrational and unvalidated as they may be at this point, are real among NFL decision-makers, who are charged with mitigating risk just as much as acquiring franchise-changing talent. For that reason, they can’t be dismissed. Teams in contention for the top quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft class may look at Maye on the other side of the aisle and see a QB who more closely exemplifies what they look for in a “face of the franchise” entity. Whether that’s right or wrong, things like front-facing composure, mental fortitude, and focus can make a difference for personnel executives and coaches who will be working with these QBs day in and day out.

Generational stereotype? Perhaps for sports...although I haven't seen it a ton. As I mentioned earlier, clearly not a taught or expected leadership trait for younger military leaders, especially in combat units.
