I got a kick out of working on a sports desk with Ken Paxson during my five years at the Chicago Tribune. He is now enjoying retirement after last night’s shindig. I’ll always be thankful that he edited the two published pieces I wrote that made it into newsprint, which I believe had a helping hand into launching me to where I am now. Enjoy retirement, Pax.

8 teams have picked at least three times in the top 10 of the NFL draft in the last five years. Of those 8 only the Rams, Bears, and Titans are playoff contenders. 49ers, Jets, Giants, and Jaguars likely headed to another top 10 pick.

Rams CB Aqib Talib said Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky can present "the Russell Wilson effect" or "the Cam Newton effect." Or both. "He’s kind of like both of them put together."

Saw the clip of Sean McVay breaking down Bears personnel making the rounds. Each week, Mike Tomlin spends 1,000 words or more on the opponent. Here’s his Raiders breakdown, which barely fits on three screenshots. pic.twitter.com/47KKipWEq4
