Kind of cool to think about. I'd also like to see the B1G to go to 8 games and to play an ACC/B1G challenge every year. So... in 2019 OSU won the B1G, as did Clemson ACC, so they play each other. IU finished 7th so we would have to play against the 7th from ACC who would be 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 one of WF, FSU, UNC, BC, PITT, MIA..... Or IU just play UK every year.

Was so good so early and he loved being a Bear. Last few years with injuries it became more annoying to me as a fan. Can't imagine what a staff/GM would think. I think it was Pete Carroll who discusses availability with players. He mentions you can be all world but if you aren't available find a new team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Jamal Adams was the 6th pick overall in 2017 draft and one of the better safeties in football today. After 3 seasons he's wanting a trade with a couple years left on his contract. Nothing earth shattering but my point is this. Don't these players realize the NFL isn't like the NBA where forced trades are common? Maybe something happened between Adams and Jets but not even getting to final year of his first contract and making these demands? It's not like he's Mahomes where he's outperformed, out earned, outdone everything on his rookie deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now his teams need to start winning but he along with staff/ownership have created a culture of being on the right track. Guys actually want to join Colts operation. I don't think Adams would be feeling this if he was here in town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me. I know Bears fans and for the most part Chicago fans are better at the complaining department....but just in my Bears world (1980 or so on) why are we the only franchise in sport that can't get the position right. Even the Jaguars, Jets, and Browns have hit on a few QB's over the last 40 years. We could draft Peyton Manning and somehow he'd retire after 2 years because of injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to go back and study but I remember how the team was passed down was to avoid estate taxes....and there's roughly 15-20 ownership stakes in play but Virginia has controlling voting interest. When she passes that seems to go to George I would assume but don't know. Trust me I'd love new ownership. People here in Indy bang on Irsay for many things but I'd die for a guy like him and his daughters to be in charge of my team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
