Where exactly do the Chicago Bears rank amongst the NFC North in running back talent?
Last year, Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace notoriously moved up in the draft, as he does many times, and secured what he thought was his future starting running back in David Montgomery. After an up-and-down rookie year, Montgomery’s future can only get brighter, right?
Let’s hope so, because the rest of the NFC North is jam-packed with talent at the running back position. If the Bears aren’t careful, they’ll become more of an overshadowed afterthought in back field competition.
It’s not all gloom and doom, though, because Montgomery is a talented kid who makes a living by earning those yards the hard way. He’s one of the more elusive backs in football and breaks tackles better than most of his peers. Is his talent, alone, enough to land him high up on our NFC North running back rankings, though?
There is some stiff competition at running back in the black and blue division. The Bears are looking at some of the best duos in all of football, and having to play them twice a year, each.
The Packers’ Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams will continue to be a problem, especially given the fact that Aaron Rodgers‘ didn’t get his wish with a rookie receiver this offseason. Expect more and more running from Green Bay.
Meanwhile, the every-down danger of Dalvin Cook remains in Minnesota, with a phenomenal compliment in Alexander Mattison.

Where do the Bears rank amongst one of the better divisions in football when it comes to running back talent? Let’s get down to business ranking all four groups.
ChicagoBulls rumors suggest Ime Udoka is the frontrunner to be the next head coach.
Over the weekend, reports emerged that the Ime Udoka is the frontrunner to become the Chicago Bulls’ next head coach, replacing the much-maligned Jim Boylen. In fact, prior to the news breaking, our own Vinnie Parise identified Udoka as the man who should lead the Bulls in the next phase of this current rebuild.
It’s important to point out that these are merely rumors at this time and you have to proceed with caution. For all we know, this report could have been leaked by Udoka’s camp, or it might be a case of misdirection on the part of Arturas Karnisovas, who might still favor a guy like Adrian Griffin who has been linked to the Bulls recently.
But what if the reports are true and Udoka is the leader in the clubhouse? What do we know about the Bulls’ possible next head coach? Here are three interesting tidbits about Udoka.
Ime Udoka brings a little “Pop” to the Chicago Bulls
Perhaps the most intriguing thing we know about Udoka at the moment is that he has extensive experience as an assistant on a championship coaching staff. Considering teams looking for a new head coach are always searching for “the next Gregg Popovich” it certainly wouldn’t hurt to bring in someone who was on Pops staff from 2012-2019.
In that span, Udoka was on the sidelines for two NBA Finals, including a championship against the Miami Heat in 2014. During his time with the Spurs, he saw firsthand how a legendary coach like Popovich goes about his business, and coaches in big moments. That experience unquestionably works in his favor, especially for a franchise looking to reestablish a winning culture.
Marc Eversley knows Ime Udoka
Everyone knows that people, regardless of the industry, are often hired based largely on relationships. Sure there must be a minimum level of competence, but often it’s the relationship that seals the deal. Look no further than the Bulls who have routinely hired coaches (Fred Hoiberg, Jim Boylen, etc.) based more on relationships than competence.

This in no way is meant to suggest Udoka is not qualified for the position. It’s merely meant to underscore just how important relationships are when hiring a head coach in the NBA. At the end of the day, the front office is placing their job security in the hands of the head coach. They are not going to do that with someone they don’t know or are not comfortable with.
As for Udoka, he most recently served on the Philadelphia 76ers coaching staff this past season. You may recall the team’s new general manager, Marc Eversley also came from Philadelphia. It’s not very difficult to connect those dots, so you can see why Udoka may, in fact, be the frontrunner.
Ime Udoka appreciates the grind
Whoever takes over as head coach of the Chicago Bulls is going to have to be mentally tough and full of perseverance. In this regard, Udoka may be one of the most qualified candidates. Udoka went undrafted out of college in 2000, and for the next 12 years, he was a part of 16 different organizations in a variety of leagues and at a variety of levels of play.
The Bulls have been trying to emerge from this most recent “rebuild” for years, and it will take a coach with the fortitude to see it through. At the end of the day, that very well could be Ime Udoka.

Jeff Pentland was the Chicago Cubs hitting coach from 1997-2002 and believes that Sammy Sosa belongs in Cooperstown due to his talent, work ethic and incredible performance.
Pentland started working with Sosa midway through the 1997 season when then Cubs hitting coach Tony Muser left to replace fired Bob Boone and manage the Kansas City Royals in mid-July. Pentland and Sosa did not hit it off instantly.
“Sammy didn’t like me at all,” Pentland said. “He wanted nothing to do with me, but I stuck to him like glue and at the end of the year we had a meeting of the minds and he said I’ll do what you want me to do.”
There were some in the Cubs organization that thought Sosa had reached the peak of his talent, but Pentland believed Sosa was still scratching the surface of what he could do.
“I sent him some tapes,” Pentland said. “He was using an unusual tap step, more of a rhythm and timing device and his was not right. I sent him some videos of the best tappers in the game like Chipper Jones and Williams (Bernie) from the Yankees, and I actually sent him Mark Grace who did it very well and that was the premise we worked off of for the following spring training.”

Sosa was not a player that fell out of bed and showed up at the park hitting. He was a worker that was committed to his craft which was sometimes forgotten amidst all the kisses blown to the camera after his home runs.
“His work ethic was off the charts,” Pentland said. “I would flip to him sometimes 30 to 40 minutes in the cages until we got it right. Sammy had tremendous ability, but his timing mechanisms were never really that great and he held his hands really really high. I wanted him to stay more grounded.”
Pentland also wanted Sosa to plan and set his expectations high.
“Right before the season we made up 10 goals,” Pentland said. “My goals were 100 walks, hit .300, score 100 runs, lead the league in RBIs, and more statistical stuff. He came up with the last one, which was I wanna be MVP of the league. He wanted to be the best.”
Sosa did all of the above in 1998 winning his lone MVP award, hitting .308 with 66 homers leading the Cubs into the playoffs for the first time since 1989. Pentland continued to push Sosa’s motivational buttons throughout the year.
“One of the things I told Sammy to motivate him was your numbers against Atlanta are absolutely horrible. I said the All-Star Game goes through Atlanta cause they win every year and what do you think Bobby Cox thinks of you as a player when you are hitting below .100 against their big guys? You gotta hit Smoltz, Glavine and Maddux. And in 1998 he did, he killed ’em and every time he hit a home run he’d look at Bobby Cox.”
Sosa was 8-for-26, with three homers, .357 OBP with five RBI against the Braves in the 1998 regular season. His success against the Braves and the rest of the league brought Pentland his own acclaim.
“I remember going to restaurants, guys would say there’s Sammy’s hitting coach and they would stand up and give me a standing ovation.”

Like many other people around the world, the video of Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd’s neck is burned into my brain. Like many other horrors I’ve witnessed in my life, I only have to close my eyes to see it.
We live in a world where every time you think you’ve seen it all, the next day proves you wrong.
We saw Jason Van Dyke shoot Lacquan McDonald sixteen times and I’ve heard first hand testimony of McDonald’s arrival at Mt. Sinai Hospital.
Scary shit.
It was just a week before George Floyd’s death that we saw Ahmoud Arbery chased down and murdered by three Nazi pricks, one of whom actually provided the video.
It doesn’t take a lot of intelligence to be a Nazi prick. All evidence seems to point to the contrary.
NOTE OF CLARIFICATION: I don’t try to differentiate between the Ku Klux Klan, white supremacists/nationalists, run-of-mill racists, the American Nazi Party or the United Brotherhood of Complete Assholes.
They’re all Nazi pricks.
I don’t know if anything can be inferred from the fact that they all seem to love #PresidentPorkyPig, but if the swastika fits……
The thing about the video that increasingly holds my focus is Derek Chauvin’s left hand, casually stuffed into his pants pocket.
Chauvin was not afraid for his life, he didn’t seem to have a care in the world. He just kneeled there on George Floyd’s neck like he was in church, and maybe he was. We don’t don’t know where Chauvin prays.
Derek Chauvin was cavalier, the picture of a callous, cold and calculating executioner. A man was dying under his weight and he sat there like he was pondering dinner choices.
When I was a kid, we used to fry ants on the sidewalk by focusing the sun on them with a magnifying glass. I probably didn’t feel much about it at the time, but I may have felt more than Derek Chauvin felt as he crushed the life out of George Floyd.
It would have been wrong for Derek Chauvin to have shot George Floyd, but it would have made it easier to cast Chauvin as a bad apple with bad judgement.
Instead, we get a devastating blow to the solar plexus of humanity. A wanton disregard for life that threatens to become yet another new normal.
We are a nation of pseudo patriots, luxuriating in the moral superiority of fake outrage. We condemn a man peacefully exercising his constitutional right and civic duty, but feign horror when peaceful protests fail and violence erupts.
We are offended by a black man kneeling during a song so lame it wouldn’t make the country charts, but find ways-all disingenuous-to blame black, unarmed men for their own demise.
The image of Derek Chauvin nonchalantly executing Floyd while staring defiantly into a video camera may have taken us to a place from which we may never return.
If you close your eyes, you might even feel the ground moving under your feet. Like all seismic shifts, it could go either way.
I’ll remain hopeful, but not overly optimistic.

As I wrote last month, I’ve slowed my time on this boat not knowing when launch dates may be available. So I go only on the weekends my wife works. There were two weekends this month. However, a third weekend came into play, I was all set to go when I learned protesters were making things amuck and bailed out.
Eight of the remaining 20 projects I have planned for this winter are variations of prepping for paint, or painting. Of which I spend most of my time this month.
312. As I didn’t have the yard pressure wash the bottom when the boat was pulled out of the water in the fall in order to have the water scum line remain around the boat to re-adjust the bootstripe/waterline the bottom is dirty. I pressure washed the bottom for spring prep.
313. There are 20 cubby holes as I count them. Since we started almost 3 years ago, 5 have been painted. This winter I decided to slowly work at doing 1/2 of the remaining and the other half next winter. Of the 5 cubby holes around the boat that have been scraped, sanded, cleaned, then with use of liquid sandpaper, a 70+ degree day provided the opportunity to put paint on, with the before and after pictures (44 years since first, and last, coat of paint). Once the paint dried, I used wire ties to clean up the two cubbies with electronics in them.
314. While prepping one cubby, part of the tabbing had a crack. It’s hard to believe I keep finding problems after all I have done and inspected. The next day I fiberglassed in new tabbing.
315. A tooth on a gear in one winch broke last year, I spent a lot of time trying to track down a replacement. Finally settled on buying a matched used winch just for the one part I needed. It was a real cluster, guy sent me the wrong winch, and finally the right winch, with all of the back and forth it took 3 months to accomplish. Having removed this winch and its mate on the other side of the boat, I tore them down, cleaned the interior pieces, greased and oiled the components, then remounted the winches onto the deck.
Having read up on good ways to caulk fittings to the deck, there’s a lot of logic out there. In the case of the fittings I am re-installing now, they all carry strong loads. Sure I put caulk down the holes thru the deck, I cover the threads of the bolts before inserting, but one article I read made a lot of sense. You’re always mounting one flush surface to another flush surface and cranking the nuts and bolts tight – squeezing the caulk out between the two with nothing left. After cleaning the two surfaces, I countersink the hole going through the deck, so now there is a reservoir of caulk right around the perimeter of the hole that is compressed when the nuts and bolts are tightened.
316. As I continue to removed leaks from the boat, one is still coming from the lower bearing flange on the rudder post. I sand and clean the fiberglass and bronze, then applied 5200 which is a tenacious permanent caulk. Fingers crossed.
The next owner is really going to enjoy this boat.

As a lifelong sailor, I want to share Chicago’s most unused Park called Lake Michigan with everyone. Most of the time sailing is idyllic, and rare moments are scary. Sailors are fun family types, who go out for exercise, fresh air, sunshine and rain, camaraderie, and just to get away from it all. My plan with this blog is to explain the entry points, and most importantly destroy the myth that it is expensive. Your network of friends will amaze you with people of all walks of life. In fact, a sailor who is a writer for the Chicago Tribune recommended I write this blog. Your journey begins here……….
If we could all just embrace my dog’s mentality, things would be a lot more chill.
With all that’s going on across our country, it’s hard to think straight, let alone be mindful, present and grateful for each day (or whatever your meditation app of choice is telling you to be).
As I recently learned in my daughter’s book about planets, we don’t feel the earth spinning, because we are spinning right along with it. Time is passing us by. We are getting older every moment of every day. And that’s not just some “Ugh, I’m over 30 and I wish I was 25 again” sentiment – I mean literally every human comes a step closer to the end of their life every day. (I didn’t mean for this to become so morbid, so quickly, but we’re here now so let’s just go with it.)
It’s now early June. How many of us have let the world spin beneath our feet the past few months while we grapple with change or loss or sadness or anxiety or stress? If you’re like me, time has been flying – and not in a good way. So how do we make 2020 a year worth living and not just a year we wish we all could forget?
First, let’s back up and acknowledge what’s happening right now. On the one hand, we have a global pandemic that’s left many people jobless, mourning, or dead. On the other, we have protests, riots, and violence that are a result of years of oppression and social injustice that’s also left many Americans, well…jobless, mourning, or dead. We know the two topics are inextricably linked since the former incurs more damage on people of color than it does to white people. And the protests could potentially result in the further spread of COVID-19. It’s not exactly easy times.
These are tough, really tough, societal issues that we can’t control as individuals, unless you are on the frontlines (and to healthcare workers, peaceful protest leaders, community activists and all those working for change, we applaud you!). If you’re not on the frontlines, you can still do your part, and we all should. I can wear a mask when I’m supposed to and social distance, and you can do more than post a black square on your social media. We can educate ourselves, about both COVID-19 and institutionalized racism. And we should!
But for me, the big questions, the big thinking that’s required to wrap my head around these society-wide issues that have taken over so many aspects of our lives, are often moved aside to deal with smaller questions. And so I’m sitting here, just a few minutes after putting my daughter to bed, with a myriad of these relatively small questions running through my mind…Should I go get tested for antibodies? When is the plumber coming? What are we doing for childcare next month? Should I re-watch that movie about Ruth Bader Ginsburg? It was kind of cheesy but also I cried at the end so…everyone should just watch it. #RBG4Life.
Big questions and small questions. Big problems and small problems. Big wins and small wins. This is what life is made up of – a series of questions, decisions, wins and losses that will lead us to say 2020: a year to remember or 2020: a year to forget. The problem is, with all these things to think about, 2020 has made it really easy to push aside the concept of “being present” in exchange for thoughts of better days and a brighter future.
As humans, we already have a tendency to forgo the here and now for the future. Whenever I have X, Y or Z (more money? bigger house? Louboutins?) life will be great. And as parents, our minds always jump to the next task – prepping for the next meal, for bath time, for soccer practice etc., all the way up until the kids go to bed, when you can get a little reprieve – or maybe you’re just washing dishes and prepping for the next day then, too.
When my daughter was a wee babe and our world was flipped upside down as we learned how to be parents, my husband made up a ridiculous (genius?) song.
(set to an upbeat tune)
Getting ready for tomorrow,
We do this every day!
Every day is yesterday,
When you’re getting ready for tomorrow!
Now that our daughter is a little older and we have a handle on what it means to be parents, as well as how to make time for ourselves when we need it, we don’t need that song to make us laugh at the sleepless craziness anymore. But, we sometimes still need reminders that today doesn’t have to roll straight into tomorrow without a second thought.
So, how do we stop focusing on the memories we wish we were making, without losing the hope that comes with planning for post-COVID and, hopefully, post-racism life? I really don’t know the answer. But I think part of it will be shifting some of our hopes and dreams that we had for 2020 to new or different hopes and dreams. Maybe smaller ones. Maybe 2020 is the year that changes our mindset, overhauls our priorities and makes us grateful for what we have right now, rather than harping so much on what we might have in a year, or two years, or 20 years from now. Whatever happens tomorrow, I know I’ll be trying my best to not let 2020 slip away into oblivion.
No matter the size of your business, theft is an issue you’ll have to address. As a small company, you may not have as much to offer thieves, but you’re still a target. Not all theft is external, either.
Employee theft can be an uncomfortable topic, but it’s one you should take seriously. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reported that as much as 75% of workers have stolen from their employers. This issue is widespread, so here are ten ways you can help prevent it:
1. Screen Applicants Before Hiring
Before you hire anyone, conduct a thorough screening. At the least, you should call their references, and, depending on their responsibility level, do a criminal background check. Just make sure applicants consent to this search in writing, and apply the same measures to everyone.
2. Establish Clear Anti-Theft Guidelines
You should create comprehensive and easy-to-understand protocols for how your company addresses theft. Then go over these with every new hire so they understand the consequences. If they know what’s at stake from the start, they’ll be less likely to try to steal.
3. Check Inventory Regularly
Have a written record of what’s in your inventory and where it goes. Without organizational tools like this, things may go missing without you knowing about it. After you’ve compiled this list, use it to check your inventory regularly.
4. Divide Responsibilities
When you give one person too much control, you’re asking for trouble. You should split major tasks, especially financial ones, between multiple employees. If several people are involved in every action, it makes it harder to get away with theft or fraud.
5. Secure Vehicle Fuel Caps
Theft can happen where you least expect it. Fuel theft can account for up to 30% of your costs of operating a fleet. Use locking fuel caps or fuel cap covers to secure access to your gas tanks and prevent theft.
6. Foster a Positive Work Environment
If you make your employees feel valued, they’ll be less likely to steal. Make sure your workers are satisfied, engaged and comfortable working in your company. Since 42% of employees are only somewhat satisfied with their compensation, increasing pay might be a helpful starting point.
7. Emphasize Customer Service
Similar tactics can help you lower external theft too. If you’re a customer-based business like a retail store, make sure you provide excellent customer service. When your employees are helpful and considerate, your patrons will be less likely to steal.
8. Install a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV)
Security camera systems may be expensive, but they’re a worthwhile investment if you can afford them. CCTV systems can act as a deterrent, dissuading people from stealing by increasing the likelihood that they’ll be caught. If a theft does occur, CCTVs can help you find who’s responsible so you can recover from the loss.
9. Create a Straightforward and Confidential Reporting System
Your employees may be aware of theft but won’t report it out of fear of repercussions. You can help these workers by providing an easy and, most importantly, anonymous way to communicate issues like theft. That way, you can learn of any suspicious activity, and your employees can feel safe.
10. Perform Regular Audits
You should also randomly but regularly carry out audits like inventory or cash checks. Keeping these spontaneous will mean any wrongdoers don’t have time to cover their tracks. If employees know these audits could happen at any time, they’ll also be less likely to steal in the first place.
Secure Your Business Today
Theft, both internal and external, is a threat to your company. Thankfully, with the right measures in place, it’s not something you have to worry about. If you take a proactive approach to security and follow these steps, you’ll create a safer, more profitable business.
Born June 7th, 1959, Michael Richard Pence was previously the 50th governor of Indiana (2013-2017), a member of the United States House of Representatives (2001-2013), and is currently the 48th vice president of the United States of America. In his 61 years on this earth, this self-described “principled conservative” has done a lot.
From his time as Indiana congressman then governor, he is best known for the following:
trying to pray away an HIV outbreak
taking money from AIDS programs to fund ex-gay camps
attacking reproduction freedom
forcing Planned Parenthood to close five clinics that didn’t even perform abortions (Planned Parenthood does more than abortions. These clinics performed STD testing and losing this valuable resource contributed to the HIV outbreak in Indiana.)
not having lunch with someone of the opposite gender
signing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act AKA the turn-away-the-gays bill
As the U.S. Vice President his highlights include:
bringing a Karen (his wife) to the White House
cleaning up Donald Trump’s messes
overseeing the voter fraud commission which was unable to find widespread abuse
creating the Great America Committee which has raised more than $4 million to be used for the 2020 re-election campaign
quoting Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech in his pitch to secure funding for Trump’s Mexico border wall
spending $325,000 tax payers dollars to walk out of a Colts game in protest to NFL players taking a knee for democracy
not wearing a protective mask to the Mayo Clinic while visiting Coronavirus patients
holding up the “15 Days To Slow The Spread” laminated one-sheet in Coronavirus daily press briefing (the irony that the man who didn’t stop the HIV spread in one state was appointed to stop the Coronavirus spread in 50 states…he does know everything not to do…Second time’s a charm)
More about Pence…His favorite foods are bacon and moose tracks ice cream (maybe former VP Joe Biden can take him for a scoop). Favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz (probably because the protagonist rejects a new fabulous life in a sinful city to return to her simple life on a farm). Favorite radio host…Rush Limbaugh. And he’s a cat guy…has two pussies named Pickle and Oreo (I wonder if Trump grabs them).
His passion projects include:
mocking science and scientists
keeping the minimum wage as low as possible
withholding health care from children in poverty
suggesting smoking doesn’t kill (Pence has never smoked cigarettes but he loves Big Tobacco)
criticizing those who want to address issues about racial disparities and bias within law enforcement for using “the rhetoric of division”
Whew! Pence has been busy. Today…June 7th is his birthday and I hope you aren’t too busy to say Happy Birthday to America’s VP. Do something great in the name of Mike Pence by donating to any one of his favorite causes.

After several months of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, many Chicagoans are still facing great financial stresses. Services ranging from the Chicago Public Schools’ meal program to the CTA have been shut down or closed, and many coronavirus relief funds and mutual aid resources are either empty or require updates. With many Chicago residents requiring further services, two tech professionals – a user experience designer and a software developer – built a new online resource…and it all started with a conversation over Slack.
Dawn Xiana Moon (who works as a UX designer and front-end developer) and Leah Neustadt (a software programmer) created ChicagoMutualAid.net, a peer-to-peer site where people can donate funds for other Chicago residents who require assistance. (Chicago residents who are in dire financial need can apply for up to $200 and receive the funds through PayPal, Venmo, CashApp and other services). The site connects donors and recipients randomly and directly, so the organizers do not touch donated funds in any way. Since its launch on June 6th, ChicagoMutualAid.net has already raised almost $1000 for Chicagoans who need emergency financial assistance.
With Dawn building the website and writing copy and Leah handling backend functions, the eventual goal for the site is developing it into an application with a more robust software framework. However, ChicagoMutualAid.net arrives at a very critical time as the city begins reopening. With high unemployment numbers and dwindling and reduced resources, many Chicago residents need help now more than ever. This is an excellent opportunity for Chicago residents to jumpstart recovery as Chicago enters Phase Three of its Coronavirus Reopening Program.
Ways that you can support ChicagoMutualAid.net include both making a direct donation to http://www.chicagomutualaid.net (donations and distributions are run on the honor system) as well as spreading the word via social media (you can even share this post via the sharing links on top). If you have questions, you can contact ChicagoMutualAid.net via email.
As Chicago comes out of both the pandemic and recent protests, many Chicago residents need further help. If charity begins at home, here is a very necessary – and needed – first step for Chicago-area city and suburban residents to kickstart economic and social recovery for those Chicago residents who are feeling especially stressed in the aftermath.
