Chicago Bears: Farewell letter to Kyle Long
Hearing the news that Kyle Long is stepping away from football was difficult for me as a fan. He has been one of my favorite players going back to his draft day. BearGogglesOn and I would like to personally thank Long for his time here in Chicago.
The year was 2013 and the Chicago Bears were coming off a 10-6 season. Unfortunately, they still finished third in the NFC North and missed the playoffs. This was the year the Bears front office made the drastic decision to fire Lovie Smith despite a winning season. Phil Emery was the General Manager at the time and he tried buying himself more time with the move.
