Sorry to say it Bears fans, but the scary news on the GM front continues to build, if you believe longtime writers such as John Mullin (which I do). Mullin’s recent article goes a little deeper into why it looks like Tim Ruskell may end up being the Bears’ organization’s choice to succeed (the ultimately unsuccessful) Jerry Angelo as GM. I did a tiny bit of research on Ruskell’s record. Of course the Bears’ website/propaganda machine touts the fact that Ruskell’s teams have gone to the Super Bowl twice (Tampa and Seattle) and appeared in NFC Championship games three times.

On Tim Ruskell as the next General Manager I know this was written about in the Tribune and picked up nationally by ProFootballTalk but I don’t believe for one second the Bears will hire Tim Ruskell to be their next GM. Firing Jerry Angelo was a move motivated by public relations as much as it... Read more »

When the Raiders named Green Bay’s Reggie McKenzie their GM and Baltimore’s Eric DeCosta decided to stay put, the two apparent front-runners [...]
