A strange thing has happened with the Bears over the last six months. In my time covering the team, I’m not sure if there ever has been a period like this. Things with the franchise seem more settled than ever.
Think about it. For the better part of two decades, Bears fans have used outgoing team president Ted Phillips’ name as a punchline. He has been replaced by Kevin Warren, and that move has been universally applauded. Warren’s credentials make it easy to believe that he was the right person to lead the franchise into the future.
