If the other thing had happened, who would have complained?
If the Bears had gotten the two third round picks, who would have said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Matt Ryan's really the primary football executive in Atlanta.
The Bears should not have gotten those picks.
No one would have said that.
So the whole thing is just stupid to me and it's another example of how the NFL tries to avoid true accountability for its failures in hiring both as the coaches and executives over decades by coming up with these clunky band-aid
PR-driven excuses instead of addressing the real problem.
And as DeMora Smith, the former NFLPA executive director explained to me, we had an interview at the Super Bowl, Radio Row.
You can find it on our YouTube page.
The problem is there's never any real accountability.
It's the commissioner every February at his Super Bowl press conference with a word salad answer when the question comes up.
And then it's like Punxsutawney Phil, which is perfect because this year it happened on February 2nd.
You disappear for a year.
Nothing happens.
And then the next February, the commissioner comes out for the press conference, gets asked about it, gives his word salad response and disappears for another year and nothing ever changes.
So the whole thing is a mess and it's going to continue to be a mess until there's there's real accountability.
The problem is there is not.

from the Jaguars?
Chris, your thoughts on former Pitt linebacker Kyle Lewis' performance yesterday?
