LET’S HEAR YOUR STORY
The Chicago Bears are a storied franchise in the NFL. Despite the less-than-stellar success as of late, They’ve won the second-most games in the history of the League, have had some iconic players, and are an original member.
Despite that, the quarterback play hasn’t always been the best. Chicago seems to be on a perpetual quest to get a game-changing signal-caller under center to usher a more consistent and winning culture among the “monsters of the midway.”
Enter former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields who is now been handed the keys to the kingdom, the next in a rather lengthy line of candidates to sit atop the thrown in Chicago as an All-Pro type quarterback.
He recently spent some time with Bryant McFadden of CBS Sports’ “All Things Covered Podcast,” and was asked about one stat no Chicago quarterback has ever reached, passing for 4,000 yards in a season. Fields was asked if he thinks he could be the one to surpass the mark for the first time in Bears history, and he answered confidently and quickly.
“I will,” Fields said. “I will. I plan on doing it this year, too.”
It’s a bold statement for a guy that has struggled passing the ball so far in his very short NFL career. And while some of that is because the protection and weapons around him aren’t the greatest, he’ll have to show marked improvement from his best passing year last year as a full-time starter of 2,242 yards.
Fields has never been one to lack confidence, and his work ethic and skill set are there for him to achieve that lofty stat. It may not be this year, but I wouldn’t put it past a guy that has been proving people wrong all of his life.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
