Runners at second and third. Infield in; two weak grounders, the White Sox find a way to allow both runs to score and record zero outs.
Coaches: clip that sequence, and use it for "what absolutely can't happen here" examples at practice.

Some Bears fans might not like it, but best available was the approach at 10, and Colston Loveland was the best available.
Two early seconds and a third to add to the trenches and land a running back remain for Chicago.

Bears TE Colston Loveland said he chatted with Ben Johnson about Lions TE Sam LaPorta, and the new head coach told Loveland, "I could see you doing a lot of those things as well."

I would have loved to see the Bears land Ashton Jeanty tonight, but Colston Loveland was my Plan B for Chicago if Jeanty was off the board in my final mock draft earlier this week. He's going to be a great fit in Ben Johnson's offense in Chicago.

In my Bears Bits today, I labeled the Grady Jarrett signing as one that I didn't hate (but wasn't crazy about), but credit where it's due: his introductory press conference was impressive.
I think he'll inject some life and leadership into the defensive line, at least.

The Chicago Bears did much of the heavy lifting in the trenches via trades and free agency, opening many possibilities for Ryan Poles and company during next month's NFL Draft.

The Falcons are releasing standout DT Grady Jarrett, sources tell me and Mike Garafolo, as the 2024 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee now heads to the market.
With Atlanta for every year of his 10-year career, Jarrett is now free.

I'm glad the Bears weren't in on Williams at $26 million per year.

The Drew Dalman contract is better than I imagined for the Bears. It's basically two years guaranteed at $14 million, which has a ton of value and allows them to draft and develop a center behind him.
