I'm hearing Caleb has painted his nails black to mark her passing.

I wonder if the Bears will improve now like the Blackhawks did after Dollar Bill Wirtz croaked.
Funny story - the day of Wirtz's funeral, a group of the senior partners were having a conversation about him near my desk. The Blackhawks were dreadful back then, and the words "I wonder if they'll improve now that the cheap prick is dead" were poised on the tip of my tongue, but then my Spidey-senses kicked in and I held silent. Almost immediately, one of them said "Well, who's driving?" They all knew him and were going to funeral. |

Big question is if her kids want to sell. That would be ideal for Bears fans. Get the ownership out of the family because her kids aren't thought of as great either.

No. I seriously doubt if a 100-year-old woman had much to do with the day-to-day operations of the team. They definitely need new ownership.

Virginia McCaskey famous made-up quotes:
1934 - You don't need a quarterback when you have Red Grange. 1934 - You don't need a quarterback when you have Bronko Nagurski. 1968 - You don't need a quarterback when you have Gale Sayers. 1984 - You don't need a quarterback when you have Walter Payton. 2017 - F*** it. Trade up for Trubisky.

At least she lived long enough to draft the first female NFL QB.
