* Cubs lead league in spring training attendance; White Sox are 21st.
* Coffman, SportsMonday: “This team won 95 games last year. It won 95 with its best hitter missing 60 and struggling with the after-effects of an injured shoulder for half of the rest of them. It won 95 with an absolute ace pitcher sidelined virtually throughout. There might be something I’m missing, but I don’t think so.”

1. From Tom Chambers:
Until the Bears can prove they can build a winner, they can’t.
They had, like a bird flying into it, their window last year. I will bet either or both of you $50 that the Bears won’t reach the Super Bowl with this team.
C’mon. Go to battle with a failure kicker? Classic Bears. Classic. Generations DNA Bears. I remember when their biggest weapon was their punter! There are hundreds more examples.
Sorry gents, this has been going on for decades. I’ll believe it when I see it, simultaneously with their search for a KICKER!.
They make a 33-year old Twinkie last forever. They have 60+ years of ineptitude to overcome.
The Bears have done nothing but disappoint and taunt this city since the day I was born.
Just sayin’.
P.S. The punks didn’t give Walter the ball.
2. From Andrea Kaspryk:
The American Alliance Football league may be a good place to possibly find a good, reliable kicker.
