i know a lot of bears fans will be happy about this .............. he's had plenty of time so I don't mind this move

 

I love the move BUT the chance of Jerry Angelo's buddy Tim Ruskell getting promoted to GM seem pretty good. I hope it doesn't happen because i've heard that Ruskell and Angelo share a brain and that scares me.

 

Initially a GREAT move for the Bears...

 

Looks like spring cleaning in the NFL with the firings by the Bears, Bucs, Colts, and Rams,

 

The Bears need new blood. This is a good move but they better not blow it and promote from within.

 

yep, we knew there were several coaches in danger but i think more of these g.m.'s are falling than expected.

 

I wish someone with the initials JJ was on the list, but that ain't happening.

 

That's step one in the right direction for the Bears.

 

Half a hurrah...

LS has earned a ticket on that same bus out of town. Sure, JA has been the architect of that POS OL/WR Corp but LS has been as culpable for not going to the mat on glaring weaknesses in personnel.

All this has done is hamstring the next GM before he's even shown up by giving LS more power/pull than he's earned .

Same BS, just in a different package...
