BEARS' COACH HAS VIGOROUS DEFENDER IN FORMER SOAP STAR NOW NFL NETWORK YAPPER

 “ Don’t you just like a little hate in football? I’m  the Bears’ coach, and I hate the Packers … I hate  their coach. It’s great.” Boy, was the NFL Network ’s  KYLE BRANDT   fired up or what, defending Chicago coach  BEN  JOHNSON ,who took considerable heat for  letting his emotions get in the way of common  sense. Johnson went off on NFL Green Bay during a  locker room rant loaded with f-bombs after da  Bears scored 25 points in the final quarter to  win 31-27 and give Johnson, in his second  season, his first playoff victory. And, when the game was over, the former Lions’  OC who opted for Chicago over your Washington  Commanders, brushed off Packers’ counterpart   MATT LeFLEUR , barely making contact in the  traditional post-game handshake before turning  away. Who did Johnson think he was ...disrespecting  anyone or anything much less  VINCE  LOMBARDI  U.? So what? said Br...

LOTS OF STUFF. ... LIKE ACC AS WELL AS U.VA. SHOULD SAVE QB FROM NO-LONGER-RELEVANT NCAA

  Here, there, and just about everywhere ... So Virginia QB  CHANDLER MORRIS  was denied a  seventh year of eligibility. He should take the NCAA to  court over the decision … which makes no sense given  the body’s arbitrary, subjective approach that has resulted  in some athletes getting favorable response despite asking  for as many as 10 years (and more) to complete their  college “careers.” Besides, the NCAA no longer is the guardian of amateur  sports because, frankly, they no longer exist … and surely  is about to go out of business, hopefully sooner than later.  College athletics (notably football and basketball), where  everyone is a free agent and operating with no salary cap,  have become more professional than the pros. A product of the transfer portal … who proved a perfect  fit for U.Va., off as well as on the field … Morris deserves  better, and the ACC as well as the school should cha llenge th...

AT LEAST ONE ACC TEAM DESERVES APPLAUSE

  Briefly told … quickly ... So, howabout them Hurricanes? Guess they belonged in  the playoffs after all, eh? Win or lose in the final, Miami  gave the ACC much-needed respect … If only, if only …  coach  MARIO CRISTOBAL  hadn’t given his team an  instant excuse by making sure everyone understood his  players were ravaged by the flu. Oh, and take that Ole  Miss! By the way … what was all that stuff about SportsCenter  anchor  SCOTT VAN PELT  and asking Cristobal a  question he didn’t want to answer? Then making a  shallow inquiry that sounded more like a sideline reporter.  “What are you most proud of … tonight?” Yuk! A 6-6, 322-pound offensive tackle,  LOGAN  HOWLAND , is coming to Virginia Tech via the transfer  portal from Oklahoma. He has two-year’s eligibility  remaining. Manchester United, unaccustomed to being an also-ran  nin the English Premier (Soccer) League, dumped coach ...
