Now that we're at the halfway point of the season and seem to have functional depth, if the Bears draft in the 15-25 range, have you identified any 2026 position group as one to focus in on that would still project high value in the second half of this first round? RB, DL, OL? John Roche/Brookfield

Hightower's teams have been a disaster for most of the season. Hopefully the activation helps a little. Average starting field positions for kick and kick cover have been really disappointing. Doesn't appear that Duvernay has any explosiveness left in the tank either.

Excellent venue with a nice staff and a willing audience. If you get a chance, go check out #BrokenHeartsBar and if Nick and his band are coming through your town, check them out too. They sound mighty good. This song is called 3 Flat Acres inspired by a little fest we used to play in Lancaster WI.

Zach Miller could be a finalist on the honorable mentions list too. Sad that his career went the way of the Johnny Knox's of the world - ending due to a devastating injury in their prime. Still, 2015-17, catching 101 passes for 1,161 yards and 11 touchdowns is pretty good for a Bears TE.

That brings back some of my all time favorite musical memories. My first shows. They opened my mind to musical possibilities that I hadn't previously fathomed.

Was just coming here with the same news. Dang! "Jonathan Joss, the esteemed actor renowned for voicing John Redcorn in the beloved animated series "King of the Hill," was tragically shot and killed outside his home in San Antonio, Texas, on June 1, 2025."

I didn't hear about this, but I'm looking forward to it. Would love to see the characters aged into a whole new set of unique situations or Hank merged into his prototype, Tom Anderson, of the Bevis and Butthead universe. It would be hard to keep trucking along with no Dale and few other changes.

Will do! I think this one might bring a few people out of the woodwork. Never know who might show up when you play a DeKalb show.

They made it close for playing a little flat for much of the game. His ball skills are impressive even if he weren't 6' 10". He and Giddy makes for a really long backcourt and both can pass, dribble, shoot, and finish at the rim. I like Matas' defense at times. Giddy is a bit of a work in progress.

He's beginning to look like a steal as the 11th overall pick. Great west coast road trip.
