Chicago Bears chairman George McCaskey was spotted doing the most unusual thing during team practice at the Walter Payton Center.
George McCaskey has overseen another disappointing season in the Windy City. The arrival of first-overall pick Caleb Williams brought new hope to the franchise, and the Bears actually started on a high note with victories in four of their first six.
But Chicago has dropped seven games in a row, assuring a fourth straight losing season. Simply put, the group hasn’t been the same since their Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders on Jayden Daniels’ last-second Hail Mary touchdown.
George McCaskey has been the subject of criticism during the frustrating season in Chicago. If he wasn’t the butt of enough jokes among Bears nation to begin with, check out this photo of him casually hitting the pen during a team practice:

We’ll assume that the venue allows indoor smoking/vaping…or that McCaskey is just breaking the rules since he’s the one in charge.
The Bears will try to end their losing skid when they visit the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings on ‘Monday Night Football.’
George McCaskey Has Another Long Offseason Ahead
The Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus following their Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions, thanks to completely inept and inexcusable clock management. Not only will the Bears need a new HC, but McCaskey must decide if he’s going to retain GM Ryan Poles.
And if Poles is brought back? There’s a long way to go in fixing up this roster, with only the quarterback, running back, tight end and wide receiver positions filled up.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
