Bears down!
It has been quite the week at Halas Hall as the Bears have started the NFL season a disappointing 0-2.
Defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned, citing health and family issues as multiple reports have indicated that his home was raided by the FBI, and quarterback Justin Fields provided further context to a viral press conference moment, walking back remarks where he cited “coaching” as being responsible for his assertion that too many thoughts cloud his instincts on the football field.
So it was that Stephen A. Smith called the Bears “trash,” the quote was written up by a Chicago aggregation account on X (formerly Twitter) — and then the tweet was “liked” by Bears safety Jaquan Brisker.
“Let me tell you something right now. The Chicago Bears are trash,” Smith said on “First Take,” as relayed by the X account @ChiSportsUpdates.
“Let’s just call it what it is. They are not a good organization. It’s a damn shame they represent the City of Chicago. They stink.”
Brisker was asked Thursday afternoon about why he liked the tweet.
“I just really love the noise. Love everything about it,” Brisker said, as covered by CHGO Sports’ Nicholas Moreano.
“Just favorited that tweet just so I could remember exactly what they said. Stephen A. said. They’re going to swallow their words pretty soon, so that’s the reason why I favorited the tweet. Really for me it’s to motivate me even more even though I’m already motivated, but I love hearing noise like that.”
The Bears are 12.5-point underdogs in Kansas City on Sunday, and are +490 to win the game outright, so if a hypothetical Bears winning streak begins at that point it would be a very surprising result based on the odds.
