Chicago Bears: 5 optimistic predictions for the 2020 seasonUsayd Koshulon September 13, 2020 at 1:00 pm


The Chicago Bears are full of potential in 2020. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Combine an elite defense with an offense that is hopefully ready to live up to expectations, it’s clear that the only word used to describe the Bears while being optimistic is potential.
This offseason, general manager Ryan Pace made a number of moves that indicated he was in win-now mode. He signed Robert Quinn to a lucrative contract to upgrade the pass rush. He made additions to the offensive line by signing guys like Germain Ifedi while also signing Jimmy Graham and drafting Cole Kmet to ensure that the tight end position would be stabilized.
Additionally, with the quarterback situation now figured now and Mitchell Trubisky ready to be the starter for the third straight year under Matt Nagy, the Bears season just got a lot more interesting. Many assumed that Nick Foles would be the starter due to his impressive resume which includes a Super Bowl MVP.
Overall, the Bears offseason has been interesting considering the team has continued to build towards the future but then also followed a win-now approach that should keep the team competitive, especially with a Super Bowl-caliber defense.
With high expectations in 2020, the Bears are one of the hungrier teams in the NFL. Despite winning just eight games in 2019, there seems to be a renewed sense of energy around Halas Hall which shows that while many are counting the Bears out, the Bears are blocking out noise and focusing on the 2020 season. With that said, what are some intriguing predictions for the Bears 2020 season?

I have another note about pending expansion in the Chicago beer scene. The village of Westmont saw groundbreaking on a mixed-use, multi-family residential development called Quincy Station. Holladay Properties is building the property south of the Metra station on Cass Ave., at 1 W. Quincy Street. The prospective first floor commercial tenant will be Whiskey Hill Brewing Co.
I’ll look forward to that, as Whiskey Hill’s new spot would replace the departed Scallywag Brewing in downtown Westmont, and would set up four consecutive stops on the Metra BNSF line within pub crawling distance of a brewer: WH in Westmont, and Goldfinger, Emmet’s and Alter at the three Downers Grove stops. This is on a line that also stops near Flapjack and Lagunitas, and ends at the Two Brothers Roundhouse.

Last Game: Cubs 4, Brewers 2
Up Next: Cubs (27-20) @ Brewers (20-23) 1:10 CST
Game Recap
It looked like more of the same: A DOA offense wasting a quality start for the third time in four days.
But then, the 9th inning happened.
The only thing about the first eight innings that bears mentioning was the greatness of Kyle Hendricks. The only blemish over his 7.2 innings of work was the two-run homer by Ryan Braun. With an assist from Jason Adam, who struck out Christian Yelich with a man on for the final out in the 8th, Hendricks kept the Cubs within striking distance despite their slumbering offense.
Even the 9th started out on a low note. Kyle Schwarber, down two strikes to Brewers super closer Josh Hader, attempted a surprise bunt to try an beat the shift. Knowing any at bat that reaches two strikes against Hader is practically over, it wasn’t a bad idea. Unfortunately, Schwarber’s bunt popped foul for a strikeout, leaving the Cubs with just two outs to score two runs.
The struggling Javier Baez came to the plate next. It wasn’t promising. Baez perhaps took a cue from Schwarber. He didn’t try to do too much. Just get on base, and hope someone can pop one over the fence later in the inning. Baez punched one the other way. It wasn’t hard. Baez even hesitated leaving the box because it looked like a catchable ball by the first baseman off the bat. But thankfully, the Brewers first baseman was Dan Vogelbach, not a player known for his hops. The ball would end up floating just over Vogelbach’s leaping effort and into right field.
Instead of allowing Victor Caratini to face Josh Hader from the right side of the plate, David Ross called upon Anthony Rizzo off the bench. An interesting decision to be sure, but the Cubs best chance against Hader was a homer, something Caratini was unlikely to do but something Rizzo had done against Hader back in 2018. The hoped for long ball didn’t happen, but Rizzo did end up replicating what was the likely positive outcome from Vic: a soft single.
This put the tying run on 1st in the form of pinch runner Billy Hamilton. An extra base hit would tie the game. The odds were still not in the Cubs favor however as due up was another lefty, Jason Heyward, followed by recent acquisition Idemaro Vargas. Despite Heyward’s great season, he had not homered off a lefty all season, and besides no lefty against Josh Hader can be considered a good matchup. And despite what little success Vargas had at the MLB level had come from the right side, no unproven righty can be considered a good matchup against Josh Hader. But small odds are not zero odds…
Jason Heyward comes up clutch and the @Cubs steal one.

Funeral services are pending as Chicago mourns the news spread for 58-year-old activist Mark Allen, father of 2 who made his transition believed to be of a heart attack at 9:37 a.m. Saturday, September 12, 2020, at the University of Chicago Hospital with his family and friends by his bedside and just minutes after Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. prayed for him over the phone. Allen was a beloved Civil rights activist and founding member of Rainbow PUSH.
The Know1 Radio host Mark Allen was found unresponsive Friday afternoon at his National Black Wall Street Chicago Office 4655 S. King Drive, where he was president and CEO—an organization he began 13 years ago, according to his brother.
In a detailed statement by Chinta Strausberg we learned;
The Allen family had also called Saint Sabina’s Father Michael L. Pfleger who gave a prayer of thanksgiving “for his life” and strength for his brother, J. Minor Allen, and sister, Michelle Allen-Marsh. His sister said her brother died of a heart attack.
His brother said while Mark, who is a father of two, died while in an induced coma Saturday morning. At his brother’s bedside – besides himself, he was surrounded by his family and friends including his sister, his son, Marcus Allen, his aunt, Patricia Barnette, and her daughter Erin Dawn Barnette, cousins Floanda Allen, Derrick Allen, and Richard Allen Jr. and his long-time friend, Rev. James Antike.

Later, speaking to dozens of Rainbow PUSH Coalition volunteers, Rev. Jackson said a prayer for Mark Allen thanking him for once being his national field director.
Thanking Rev. Jackson and Father Pfleger for their prayers, J. Minor Allen said, “Mark was in an induced coma so they could work on him. He had a pulse and a heartbeat,” his brother told this reporter. “The doctors stabilized his heart. That is when I thought my brother would make it. He didn’t.
“The problem is nobody knows how long Mark was unconscious…one or two hours,” his brother recounted. “My brother was without oxygen for a long time,” he said referring to Friday, September 11, 2020, when he kept calling Mark and finally asked a friend who lived close by his office to make a security check.
“I knew something was wrong because Mark didn’t do his show (“Can You Hear Me” that aired on the late Rev. Leon Finney’s Urban Broadcast Media (UBM) Network).”
The last time he spoke to Mark was about 11:30 a.m. Friday morning He was going to pick up his brother and take him to Gatling’s Chapel for the funeral of Ramon Senior Wade, the father of radio personality Ramonski Luv, that was held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Having a key to Mark’s office, when his brother’s friend entered Suite 203, Mark Allen, chairman, president, and CEO of National Black Wall Street Chicago he launched 13 years ago was found slumped over his desk unresponsive.
That is the time, the moment that changed the Allen family forever. Mark Allen was rushed to the University of Chicago Hospital where he was born on March 18, 1962, and died on September 12, 2020.
“The doctors tried everything to keep him alive,” his brother said. “He was a fighter.” Referring to his father, the late Minor Allen, Sr. who died in June of 2018 following the death of his wife Ollie, who passed in 2014 of breast cancer, Mark’s brother recalled how his brother attended Operation Breadbasket when he was just 6-years-old.
“Our father used to take Mark to Operation Breadbasket when it was held at the Capitol Theater located at 79th and Halsted,” he recalled. “He’s been an activist for a long time. Mark even ran for mayor of Chicago in 1976 against attorney Ellis Reid and Harold Washington as a write-in candidate. He was just 13 years old.”
“Mark eventually gave Ellis Reid his support,” he said referring to the 1976 mayoral election where Reid, Harold Washington, black undertaker A.A. “Sammy” Rayner, and others lost to Michael Bilandic.
Years later, in 1982, Mark, who graduated from the Western University and attended Columbia College majoring in broadcast communications, and his friend, James Anyike, who is now a minister and author in Indianapolis, were once ‘Students for Harold.’
“Mark, who was a Kappa Alpha Phi, and James got all the students registered all throughout Illinois including the colleges,” his brother proudly recalled. We must mention he was a beloved fellow CVS Cavalier where he went to high school.
Born and raised in Hyde Park and a member of Salem Baptist Church, his brother said Mark was always involved in social service jobs including working at the Chicago Urban League, DCFS, Illinois Department of Human Services, Midwest Academy, Citizen Action, and Rainbow PUSH Coalition as field director. Mark was also a delegate for Rev. Jackson’s 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns.
“For the past 15 years, Mark has been doing his own thing as chairman, president and CEO of the National Black Wall Street Chicago, and he was a talk show host on the Urban Broadcast Media Network but he got his start on WVON,” recalled his brother. He said Mark worked under the late Richard McGee, Richard Steele, and produced the Wesley South program.
“My brother left here and gave me the words ‘no matter what happened, stay structured, focused, and positioned.’ His favorite quote was, ‘I didn’t come to preach, but I can.’”
One of his greatest supporters was Florence Cox, former president of the Chicago Board of Education. “I am shocked and sadden to hear that Mark has passed because he was a person who worked tirelessly on behalf of the community.
“He was a very giving person, a jovial person, and someone who was supportive of me when I was president of the Chicago Board of Education. He always did research. He always had good information. He was a very energetic kind of person always looking to get away to help the people. I know that a lot of us will miss him,” said Cox.
“Everybody leaves a void when they make a transition but Mark was a fighter and a community activist,” she said. Sending her condolences to the Allen family, Cox added, “I am sorry that he has left us. Sometimes when people are in pain, it is better to have shared a portion of a person’s life than none at all. We were blessed to have shared a portion of his life.”
Mark Allen leaves to mourn his children, son, Marcus Allen, daughter, DaNia, sister, Michelle Allen-Marsh, brother, J. Minor Allen, and a host of friends and relatives. In Mark’s final social media post the day before he transitioned; he said
“Hear My Voice, GOD Bless”
As the CEO and owner of High Society Management, I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Mark was an amazing person and friend and I am honored to have known him.

You can feel the season changing. Fall is coming. Rain, and the rainy sound of cicadas. Temps in the 60’s feel more like 50’s. In the past few days, people have gone from shorts and T-shirts to hoodies and sweatpants. My furnace came on overnight!
The virus is still with us. It changed all the things we would do in the summer, and will be affecting how we live this fall as well. That is our reality, now.
The weather has been challenging, too. After the storms on August 10, there are still fallen trees and damage here. Since then, Hurricane Laura has ravaged Louisiana, some parts still suffering damages from Hurricane Katrina 15 years ago. And the hurricane season is far from over.
Meanwhile, wildfires burning in California and the Pacific Northwest. There are fire-tornadoes and fire-clouds! The red sky over San Francisco has been called apocalyptic. You’ve seen the photos. This is what climate change looks like.
Here’s the National Weather Service outlook for today–
Watches and Warnings are up for Sally in the central Gulf Coast. Smokey conditions remain in the Northwest and CA. Critical fire weather threats may cause rapid fire growth around the CA/OR/NV junction. Locally heavy rain may produce flash flooding in the mid-south. pic.twitter.com/IPHD64dNGV

And here, in Chicago it’s sun and Sunday. The milkweed pods are ripening, and there are many monarch butterflies. The waning crescent moon in the morning light was so beautiful! Yes, there is beauty in this world.
Even in these uncertain and pandemic times, there is beauty, and hope and courage. Every day.

If you take care of your inside it will radiate on the outside. It is not about looking like a super model but having a healthy lifestyle. If you take care of yourself physically and mentally it will show on the outside. Do you know someone who does not fit society’s standard for beauty; yet their confidence and energy make them attractive? Do you know someone who does fit society’s standard for beauty, but they lack confidence and you can discern they have a negative view of themselves? What is the difference between the two people? One person has learned how to feel good about themselves. When you feel good about yourself it shows.
How do you feel good about yourself? You may feel people have damaged your self-esteem; however, we can be our worst critics. You do not have to agree with the negative words people have spoken about you. Do not participate with their negativity. Practice positive self-talk. Use positive self-talk to let go of any negativity, doubt, bitterness or self-pity that may have taken hold of you. Forgive yourself for past mistakes. Acknowledge that it is okay to love you. You may have imperfections, so what. Do not let family, friends, co-workers, the mirror or society determine your self-worth.
Do not focus on external things for your self-esteem. Focus on living a healthy lifestyle by making it a priority. Think positive about yourself. Spend time around positive people who can reinforce positivity in your life. Eat healthy, exercise, and get your rest. Concentrate on the inside and watch it manifest on the outside.

I have been interested in preventive medicine since my childhood. In the 70s, my aunt would take me with her to meet with a doctor who emphasized preventive medicine. A lot of the things that doctor discussed then has become standard today.

The Cubs were completely baffled by Brandon Woodruff and wasted a quality outing from Jon Lester Friday. Cameron Maybin and Brett Anderson were scratched before the game. Brent Suter has been a thorn in the Cubs side for years. Kyle Hendricks has been very good his last two starts.

Providing a new service of just Spirit Communication and Circle of Energy from Chicago Psychic Medium Edward Shanahan.
As time wanders into the abyss as it passes by, some memories never get lost in time, and some new memories can be created from times past, through experiences.
I have decided to provide another service for groups of individuals, be it held at their location or a haunted historic home is in the S. W. Suburbs. The home was built in the 1800s and remained in the family of a Senator until the youngest of the family passed, and no one has lived there since.
It is a combination of my Circle of Energy Seance and Spirit Communications during the Circle of Energy to provide an entertaining, spiritual, and an experience of what is waiting to be known from the Spirit World.
I will start with a short reading of each individual participating as a way of knowing who the old and young souls would be. Then the candles will be lit, and the lights turned down, and eventually, the candles being blown out.
At your location, you decide on the number of individuals you would like to invite, most seek to bring about their loved ones, and all can try.
If a large group of individuals, then there would be the circle of people around the table, I leave the Spirits decide who will be at the table, and the other individuals can sit behind those sitting at the table.
At times a person’s home has spirit activity. Then I provide more to help determine who or what the active spirit is before we go and do the Circle of Energy Seance with Spirit Communications.
If a location is active and the owner desires to bring calmness to the situation, then I will make that my goal by the end of the session.
My new service can also be provided at the historic home mentioned in the article. It will be limited to the number of people who can participate, but if interested, there are the spirits of the historic home that can also be attempted to bring across.
Some decide on a combination of loved ones and the spirits of the historic home.
As with any of my services that I offer to the public, the fee is based only on time spent, not the number of people participating.
For information on this new service, go to my website (Edward Shanahan) and email me from there seeking information about the service and mention it in your email.
Also, doing Psychic Phone Readings by appointment and even Private Psychic Readings with Spirit Communications or Design Your Own Psychic House Party, details are on my website at https://edwardshanahan.com
Be ready to experience what is already there.

The time has finally come. NFL football is here. It seems as though this calendar year has taken a decade to work through, but the wait is over. For Chicago Bears fans, it has to feel good to simply make it to the real thing.
All offseason long, fans have debated over a few different topics. None has been more divisive than the quarterback battle, though. After general manager Ryan Pace traded a fourth-round pick for veteran Nick Foles back in the spring, it seemed a foregone conclusion he would end up as the starter.
Fast forward to the present day, and it is in fact Mitchell Trubisky who will take the first snaps of the season. Regardless of who is under center, though, this is the time where fans put aside the debates and root for one thing and one thing only: Wins.
Starting the year on the road in Detroit is going to be a bit different than normal years, without a full crowd supporting either team. The lack of a packed stadium will be weird. It will be different, and it should play a part in key situations, that’s for sure. But, it’s still football. It’s here, and for that, we are thankful.
This is the first glimpse we get of all the moves made over the offseason for both teams. In Detroit, this could be Matt Patricia’s last chance before he’s let go. You better believe he will come out as ready and motivated as he possibly can be.
On Chicago’s side of things, some wonder if Matt Nagy could be on the hot seat as well. Starting fast will be important to both of these coaches, but for the Bears specifically, a win would mean the following matchups go their way. Let’s dig in.

It is no secret that yours truly is a big fan of Trevis Gipson and has been since the Chicago Bears drafted him in April. We’ve written about the type of impact he could have on this team a number of times, and he will likely get the opportunity on Sunday.
Yesterday, the Bears released their final injury report before their Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions and the first thing that jumped out is that newly acquired free agent Robert Quinn missed practice again and was listed as doubtful for the game.
The next item that caught your attention was likely the fact that Khalil Mack was listed as limited again, and questionable for the game.
It goes without saying that missing one of those players is a tremendous blow to the defense and their ability to get to the quarterback. Losing both would be nothing short of catastrophic. Of course, you never want to overreact, and perhaps they are just being cautious with Mack’s knee. But with Quinn out and Mack potentially limited, that leaves a number of snaps up for grabs.
The official depth chart lists Barkevious Mingo and James Vaughters behind Quinn and Gipson behind Mack. However, you could see a scenario where the Bears give the rookie an opportunity to get after the pass rusher on clear passing downs.
While Gipson is still somewhat raw, his athletic ability is undeniable. He is more than capable of using that athleticism, his speed, and power, pinning his ears back, and setting his sights on one thing — Lions’ quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Many were high on Gipson, the fifth-round pick coming out of the University of Tulsa. They knew he had an awful lot of potential and alongside guys like Mack and Quinn, he would pick up a lot about how to play the position through osmosis.
Hopefully, he acted as a sponge during their limited training camp and picked up as much as he could because come Sunday, he may need to call on that wisdom as he finds himself with an opportunity to make an immediate impact for the Bears. I know I’m excited to see him in action.
