I’m sure the “protect women’s sports” folks are allll over this, right? Right???
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 10h agoICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.
Chicago Bears might have lost more than one game with Caleb Williams injury
Chicago Bears might have lost more than one game with Caleb Williams injury | Opinion
Chicago Bears will only go so far as Caleb Williams can take them, which makes his injury against the Vikings all the more concerning.

There was a replay of Jayden Daniels that made Tom Brady say "oh shit" on air
I needed a NSFW warning on those replays of Daniels' injury.
The Bears went from 59 points last week to 3 this week. Only other teams with 56+ point drop from 1 game to next per @sportradar: 1920 Rochester Jeffersons 66 to 0 (W3-4) 1973 Falcons 62 to 0 (W1-2) 1934 Eagles 64 to 7 (W9-10)
Ben Johnson says he can't estimate severity of Caleb Williams injury. They'll know more tomorrow but says Williams is in good spirits.

Williams leaves field on a cart, towel covering his face
Nancy Armour@nrarmour.bsky.social · 14h agoThat's the last thing the Bears want to see. Caleb Williams falls to ground as he's scrambling. Looks like his right hamstring. Has to be helped off the field and isn't putting weight on his right leg.
Going from bad to worse. Bears just have what would have been tying FG blocked.

Aaron Jones is questionable to return with a knee injury.
this Vikings-Bears game is setting football back to the olden times when forward passing was a novelty
Through three quarters, Bears have 191 yards of offense, Minnesota has 170.
Caleb makes a terrific play, working out of two jams before hitting Raymond at the 1 and then Bears fumble on next play.
As I said ...
Chicago Bears follow historic Week 1 with disastrous half vs Vikings
The Bears followed a historic Week 1 victory, in which they scored 59 points, with epic sloppiness in the first half against the Vikings.

Nancy Armour@nrarmour.bsky.social · 16h agoUgly first half comes to an end with Vikings leading 6-3. Instead of high-octane offense vs. creative, smothering defense, we've gotten a slopfest.

Bears have four penalties on this drive alone: illegal shift vs Roush; holding vs Bradbury; intentional grounding by Caleb and false start by Bradbury. Not great Bob! Also, Bradbury has four penalties today. Has two other false starts.
On 4th and 3, Caleb Williams hits D'Andre Swift, and Swift slips on the turf trying to make cut, but he gets up and picks up the first down. The Vikings challenge, but after review, the play stands. Minnesota is charged a timeout.
Vikings faced a third-and-13 at the 34. Dennis Allen called a blitz. T.J. Edwards manages to get just enough of Demond Claiborne to trip him up. If Edwards didn't make the play there was green grass ahead of Claiborne. Vikings add a field goal. Vikings 6, Bears 3. 8:18 2Q
Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles just broke Caitlin Clark’s record for points scored in a WNBA rookie season. They entered today tied with 769 points — which Miles scored in 39 games, Clark in 40 games. www.wsj.com/sports/baske...
If You Haven’t Seen ‘The Spectacle,’ You’re Missing the WNBA’s Top Rookie
Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles is in the mix to join Candace Parker as the league’s second dual Rookie of the Year-MVP.

Oooof. Williams makes ill-advised throw and Byron Murphy picks it. I get it's the battle of wits between Johnson and Flores, but maybe stop trying to get too cute.
