Chicago Bears Fire Coach Matt Eberflus After Turkey Day Debacle: Matt Eberflus is out as Chicago Bears head coach after a colossal blunder late in the game's loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. The Bears were nearing field goal range for a tying kick but after quarterback Caleb Williams was sacked with 32 seconds left, they only ran one more play -- a long incompletion to Rome Odunze as time expired. Eberflus takes with him a 14-32 record, six-game losing streak and the timeout he kept in his pocket yesterday.

In a siloed media climate, sports becomes the only place where facts matter: Sports is one of the last remaining institutions in America that is truly bipartisan. As such, figures like Mike Greenberg or Colin Cowherd, or Scott Van Pelt are among some of the only individuals in the entire country that regular people on both sides of the aisle actually listen to together.

Ryan Clark wants to see same media response to Nick Bosa MAGA hat stunt as Colin Kaepernick protests: “It seems very clear to me Nick Bosa understands that when you wear that hat, you take a side,” Clark said. “You take a side of division in a sport that’s supposed to bring us together. I’m just waiting for all the people who comment under political and sports things to shut up and dribble or to shut up and play football, to tell him to shut up and rush. But they ain’t going to say it cuz they feel the exact same way he do.”
