       For anyone who would like to read the origin comic for Amos, you can find the images in my dropbox HERE.  Please be forewarned that there is a multitude of potentially triggering material starting with the fact it’s kinda wonky cause it’s in his head for the most part, game show style, there’s at least one use of a sex worker slur, mention of sexual assault, child sexual abuse, forced prostitution and a drug overdose & suicide and violence / death.  it’s not pc or pg by any stretch of the imagination.

The Bears’ top priority was an expensive Mitchell Trubisky backup plan

Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports

Chicago has a handful of problems to fix, and not many resources to solve them.

Last season was a regrettable one in Chicago. Head coach Matt Nagy failed to defend his NFC North title thanks in part to a concerning regression from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. With little consistent air support and an offense that ranked 29th in the league in both points scored and yards gained, the Bears slid from 12-4 to 8-8 and missed the playoff for the eighth time in the last nine years.

Fixing those problems this spring will be tough. Chicago doesn’t have a first-round pick thanks to its trade for Khalil Mack in 2018, and it has limited cap space to make any major moves in free agency.

Chicago Bears (8-8), missed playoffs

The Bears continue to field a championship-caliber defense, though some tweaks will be necessary to turn a top-10 unit back into a top-five squad. That means general manager Ryan Pace, resolute in his backing of Trubisky for the 2020 season, will have to focus his attention to a flagging offense that struggled to live up to expectations.

Before free agency:

Quarterback: Pace may be publicly content to roll with Trubisky, but a glut of available veteran quarterbacks will give him the opportunity to find a player who can push the young passer in training camp and/or step into the starting lineup should he underwhelm once more.

Tight end: Prized free agent signee Trey Burton missed eight games in 2019 and has caught more than 37 passes in a single season only once in his career. Former second-round pick Adam Shaheen has failed to turn into a dependable starter. Jesper Horsted is an interesting young talent, and Demetrius Harris adds athleticism and blocking, but neither is ready to carry the load at the top of the depth chart. Adding a member of a solid free agent class would give the Bears another trusted target downfield.

Offensive guard: Longtime starter Kyle Long is stepping away from the game at age 31. Depth option Ted Larsen is a free agent. The Bears could use some extra help up front to keep their QBs upright and to clear holes for second-year back David Montgomery.

What Windy City Gridiron wants most this offseason: Stability and competency at the QB spot would put this team squarely in the playoff race. Missing on the Trubisky pick could have set this franchise back even further, but with so many decent QBs available this offseason they can right the ship. Getting a right guard would help stabilize the running game too. — Lester A. Wiltfong Jr.

After free agency:

The Bears kicked off the offseason by getting their Trubisky insurance — and it wasn’t cheap. Chicago not only traded a fourth-round pick for Nick Foles, but also assumed the final three seasons of his four-year, $88 million contract in the process. Pace may be publicly content to roll with Trubisky, though Foles could wind up getting the call at the first sign of trouble. Chicago’s other big additions this March were tight end Jimmy Graham and Robert Quinn. That would be much more impressive if it were 2017.

Offensive guard: The Bears have the tailbacks to boast an aggressive and efficient ground game. They need blockers to clear a path for them (and take some pressure off the team’s aerial attack, too).

Safety: Eddie Jackson is a stud, but he’s lost his running mate — Adrian Amos and now Ha Ha Clinton-Dix — in each of the past two offseasons.

Linebacker: Nick Kwiatkoski and Leonard Floyd both departed this offseason, leaving gaps in Chicago’s second level.

After the draft:

The Bears took one step closer to fielding an all-tight end team when they drafted Notre Dame’s Cole Kmet at No. 43 overall. They bolstered the secondary with two nice additions at cornerback: Utah’s Jaylon Johnson (second round) and Georgia Southern’s Kindle Vildor (fifth round).

With the rest of their selections coming on Day 3, the Bears waited to address guard until late in the draft. Back-to-back seventh-round picks Arlington Hambright and Lachavious Simmons offer versatility along the offensive line. Chicago did not end up targeting a linebacker.

Dan Kadar’s draft grade: C+

Ten minute teaser for the season

The Expanse Season 4 Lowdown

Season 4 of The Expanse, is its first as a global Amazon Original. With it we begins a new chapter for the series. Here we have the crew of the Rocinante on a mission from the UN to explore new worlds beyond the Ring Gate.

Last season we saw that humanity had been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets. This has created a land rush and furthered tensions between the opposing nations of Earth, Mars and the Belt.

Planet Ilus

Ilus is the first of these planets. It one that is rich with natural resources. However it is also marked by the ruins of a long dead alien civilization. Earthers, Martians and Belters maneuver to colonize Ilus and its natural resources. But these early explorers don’t understand this new world and are unaware of the larger dangers that await them!

One interesting detail is that the length of each episode remains around the 46-48 minutes duration. This is the normal timing of TV station shows that fit into an hour slot with adverts.

Projecting all the offseason moves for the Chicago Bears

Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports

The Chicago Bears offseason is upon us and because of that, it’s time to let the imagination fly. Even so, this is a team that is currently tight against the cap and will still have more movement before they can spend with any sort of impact, if that is indeed the plan.

There’s plenty that can happen in an offseason, so I’m going to do my best to project a combination of what I think general manager Ryan Pace would do and what I would do as well.

Without further ado, let’s jump into this head first.

Current Cap Space: $18.146 million

This includes every currently announced cut and I also projected Cody Parkey’s cut in here as well, since there will be no additional cap penalties in 2019 because of the June 1st designation. This also includes the $2.5 million cap credit from Mike Glennon’s 2018 offset language.

Cap Savers: (+$12.751 million)

Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports

Restructure Khalil Mack. (+$8.396 million)

By converting Mack’s $11.3 million base salary into a signing bonus, it would allow the Bears to save a maximum of $8.3 million. That would include a sixth year minimum salary and spreading the remaining dead cap over a five-year period, which would start this year.

Extend Chase Daniel (+$2.33 million)

By giving Daniel a two year extension (two years, $8 million), the team could also turn around and convert his $4 million base salary into a signing bonus. After a minimum salary benefit and the proration of the bonus, it would allow them to save around $2.33 million in 2019.

Trade Jordan Howard (+$1.535 million after rule of 51)

This is a move the Bears should only make after finding his replacement(s). I’m projecting that the Bears will trade Howard and a 2020 sixth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for their fourth round comp pick (#132). This saves money and makes the most sense for both sides if Pace feels comfortable with the return.

Notes: Converting Mack’s base salary into a bonus is somewhat of a risk, but even an extra $2 million in dead space over the next five years isn’t going to cripple them, especially when the cap has continued to rise by $10-$12 million each year.

Total Cap Space: $30.38 million

Internal Free Agents (8)

2019 MOCK FREE AGENCY

Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports

CB Bryce Callahan (Four years, $26 million with $12 million guaranteed) $4.75 million hit (Comp: Bobby McCain)

WR Josh Bellamy (Two years, $3.5 million with $1.1M guaranteed) $1.5 million hit (Comp: Sherrick McManis)

G Bryan Witzmann (Two years, $3 million with $600,000 guaranteed) $1.25 million hit (Comp: Eric Kush)

LS Patrick Scales (Three years, $3.5 million with $1.25M guaranteed) $1 million hit (Comp: Mike Windt)

TE Ben Braunecker (One year, $900,00 with $150,000 guaranteed) $900,000 hit (Comp: Daniel Brown)

S DeAndre Houston-Carson (One year, $700,000) $700,000 hit

DL Roy Robertson-Harris (one year, $650,000 (ERFA) $650,000 hit

RT Rashaad Coward (one year, $650,000) (ERFA) $650,000 hit

Notes: This is going to be an interesting group to follow. It’s quite possible that the Bears could end up retaining both Adrian Amos and Callahan after hitting the market, especially with how packed both markets are at their respective positions. The Bears have been vocal about wanting to retain both, and judging by the lack of reported buzz from both players at the combine, this seems more and more realistic. Even so, I’m still going to make this a safer projection and assume that just one of the two comes back.

Total Spent (after the rule of 51): (-$6.87 million)

Current Cap Space: $23.567 million

Primary Outside Free Agents (6)

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

OLB Terrell Suggs (Two years, $12 million with $5.5 million guaranteed) $5.5 million hit (Comp: Cam Wake)

RB T.J. Yeldon (Three years, $12 million with $6 million guaranteed) $3 million hit (Comp: Isaiah Crowell)

DB Brian Poole (Three years, $10.5 million with $4 million guaranteed) $2.5 million hit (Comp: Terrance Mitchell)

CB P.J. Williams (One year, $1.5 million with $500,000 guaranteed) $1.5 million hit (Comp: Marcus Cooper)

K Kai Forbath (One year, $1 million with $200K guaranteed) $1 million hit

WR De’Anthony Thomas (One year, $900,000 $150,000 guaranteed) $900,000 million hit

Notes: This isn’t going to be some extravagant offseason for the team like in previous years. They don’t have the resources to go out and sign multiple contracts in the $8-$10 million range, but that’s alright. Their holes will be minimal and the focus should be more about finding missing pieces in the short-term that can help push them team closer to a Super Bowl. It’s possible the Bears could do better at safety than Poole, but I have a feeling Pagano will want versatility, which the former Falcon brings. There’s also “better” options than Yeldon at running back, but stylistically, he fits like a glove. Maybe they’ll shell out $7 million per year for someone like Tevin Coleman, but I’ll keep my projection more conservative for the time being.

Total Spent (After rule of 51): (-$10.98 million)

Current Cap Space: $12.587 million

Extensions: (-$3 million)

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

Notes: At this point, a Whitehair extension has not only been widely speculation by names like Adam Jahns and Biggs, but it seems like a foregone conclusion this summer. It’s a no-brainer and speaks to Pace’s ability to land talent out of the first round.

Current Cap Space: $9.587 million

Draft Class (-$2.5 million)

2019 MOCK DRAFT

Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports

3rd (#87): RB Miles Sanders (Penn St)

This is a running back class that simply didn’t test very well as a whole, but even so, there’s not a lot of first round talent, if any in this class. This should be a good thing for the Bears. Sanders is someone who didn’t originally pop to me on film, but the more and more I watched him, the more attractive he was. He’s a one-year starter with minimal miles. He doesn’t have a ton of long speed and may dance too much behind the line, but he has all the physical makings of a primary back in Nagy’s offense.

4th (#126): DB Amani Hooker (Iowa)

Much like the Poole signing, I expect the Bears to look for versatile options in the defensive backfield. Hooker can play in the nickel, either boundary spot or at strong safety. He’s someone that was used in multiple ways at Iowa and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to trust a good friend of mine who covers that team. He raves about Hooker and it’s easy to see why. Could be a plug and play starter from day one, but the Bears won’t need him to be.

4th (#132): TE Foster Moreau (LSU) Projected Trade with Buffalo

I’ve kicked a few different tight ends around at this pick. My other choice would have been Texas A&M product Jace Sternberger, but I find it hard to believe he’ll be sitting there in the late fourth, so enter Moreau. He’s not a crazy athletic kid, but he’s big, has steady hands and is an outstanding blocker. The Bears have invested heavy at the position, but this may be a needed addition.

5th (#162): WR Penny Hart (Georgia St)

Depending on who you talk to, receiver is either a bigger need than meets the eye or receiver is not a worry at all. I’m more in the middle. I don’t think they need to go out and spent big money or use a high pick, but finding Taylor Gabriel’s eventual replacement in the fifth-round wouldn’t be bad. Hart is smaller, but he’s very quick and could be used perfectly in Nagy’s offense.

7th (#222): K Matt Gay (Utah)

The Bears are likely to draft a kicker, seeing as how they have a pair of seventh round picks. Right now, the two kickers on the roster are Redford Jones and Chris Blewitt. Neither have NFL experience. Enter Gay, who has one hell of a leg.

7th (#238): OG Alex Bars (Notre Dame)

This pick is all about value and development. Kyle Long restructured his deal to help the team for a year, but has over a $9 million cap hit in 2020. Bars has experience with Harry Hiestand and could be a nice developmental pick or depth at worst.

Total Remaining Cap Space: $7.087 million

This Week in Television

Well guys, I know I said I would stick it out, but I just can't do it. I've stopped watching The Young Pope. I got to the third episode and I just couldn't continue it anymore because of how Trumpian the protagonist is. This week has been particularly rough in the United States and I'm someone who is very politically involved. I volunteered for the Clinton campaign and on election night I nearly threw up. If this past week is any indication, it's only going to get worse, much worse. As I'm writing this now, a Muslim ban, for all intents and purposes, has been created severally restricting immigration from several different countries. And with this going on, it's very hard for me to separate the character of Pius from Trump. Both individuals seem to have been long shots, ill-suited and disinterested in their respective roles, and appear to be breaking down tradition at every single turn. Television, for now, is an escape for me, which is why I've begun watching Baskets and The Expanse.​

​

Now for those who don't know, Baskets tells the story of Chip Baskets (Zack Galifianakis​) who returns home to Bakersfield California after failing at becoming a clown in Paris. The show was created by Louis C.K., Zack Galifianakis, and Johnathan Krisel and the show has a very Louie vibe to it. It's often absurd but some episodes, like the Easter one, really shine. You get a good understanding for the show. Louis Anderson also plays Chip's mom and is really quite good in the role, earning him an Emmy for this role.

The reason I started watching this show was because it made me both laugh and feel something. The characters are well defined and the scenes often involve absurd situations but this doesn't detract from the real humanity that these characters show. I've laughed and I've been moved by many of the episodes in the first season, so much so that I'm rewatching them with my girlfriend. Have you watched Baskets? Do you like the show? Let me know below!

​

As I mentioned above, I've also been watching The Expanse. Now I've read a few of the books that this show is based on, I stopped after they appeared to become very repetitive, written by James S. A. Corey and it tells the story of a future where Earth, Mars, and the outer planets are at each other's throats over access to resources. It tells this story quite well, through Detective Miller (Thomas Jane) who lives on a space station investigating the disappearance of a girl, Jim Holden (Steven Strait) who is the captain of the Canterbury who finds himself caught between two warring planets, and his crew mates Amos Burton (Wes Chatham), Naomi Nagata (Dominque Tipper), Alex Kamal (Cas Anvar), and Shed Garvey (Paulo Constanzo) who are along for the ride. The show also displays the tensions on Earth as Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo) who works for the UNN attempts to understand the role that Mars, Earth, and the Outer Planets Alliance plays in this potential war.

This show is a Syfy channel show and usually I'm not a fan of them, but you can seen some time, energy, and money went into making this show. The clothes seem authentic and it doesn't have the cheap feeling to it, that sometimes plagues my watching of other Syfy shows.

Why am I watching it now? Because this cast is hella diverse and it depicts people of all races and genders coming together for a common cause, equality. I'm down for that right now. I'm all in for that. Have you checked out The Expanse? If so what did you think?
