Russell Wilson is not even here yet and I’m already sick of him
I know that right off the top, being a Bears fan means that A) I assume everything will go wrong no matter what happens, and B) I don’t have a true appreciation of what it means for an NFL team to have a top-tier quarterback.

Everything John Schneider does is stupid and inexplicable
Seahawks general manager John Schneider continues to make me a very angry Seahawks fan. So, Schneider, let’s check in to see what you’ve done today to piss me off.

Wizards and Beal should consider parting ways

Three games tonight, and the best one features the New York Knicks. God bless if tonight’s a big gambling night for you because this is one of the season’s worst evenings on paper so far.
