Justin Fields and Luke Getsy shared the most awkward hug of the NFL season

 On Wednesday, Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields vented his frustrations to the assembled media and drew headlines for suggesting coaching was part of his poor play to start the season. As his quotes started making the rounds, Fields called the media back for a quick huddle just to make sure everyone knew he was taking accountability for his play and working alongside the coaches to figure out how to solve Chicago’s many problems.

Fields’ quotes were almost immediately overshadowed by the mysterious departure of defensive coordinator Alan Williams shortly there after. The fact that the Bears also put their starting left tackle, Braxton Jones, on IR with a neck injury barely even registered.

On Thursday, as the Bears were still grappling with the fallout of the myriad of issues, Fields and offensive coordinator shared for moment captured by cameras. The result was a hilariously awkward hug in an attempt to bury the hatchet. Justin, blink twice if you need help.

This might be the most awkward sports hug since Dwight Howard invaded Stan Van Gundy’s press conference as he was pushing his way out of the Orlando Magic.

Chicago’s offense has been horrible so far, and Fields and Getsy are both under the microscope. The Bears’ game plan to have Fields make quick throws to the flats on screens and swing passes doesn’t fit his skill set. At the same time, Chicago has gone away from the designed runs and deep shots they had some success with last season. It will be fascinating to see if Chicago’s offense looks any different going forward.

The Bears, at 0-2, are in desperate need of a win, especially after Fields’ comments this week. Unfortunately for them, next on the schedule is a date with Patrick Mahomes and the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. It’s hard to believe things are going to get better for the Bears before they get even worse.

Spooky Sips: Witches Brew Halloween Cocktail Recipe

  You know me and my cocktail loving self just had to come up with a spooky Halloween drink. This cocktail is simple and effortlessly fashionable, I mean just look at that  color . These will be a hit at your next party (or just on the couch watching Halloween films, Y’all know that’s my Saturday night). These drinks are the perfect cocktail trio: light, sweet, and a bit bubbly. This cocktail is flavored with Midori (a Japanese honeydew melon liqueur), lime sherbert, and lemon-lime soda. It is a pretty sweet cocktail compared to what I normally post since I like more fresh flavors and don’t eat a ton of sugar (but they are probably average compared to most cocktails). There is also vodka added for more of an alcohol kick (Midori is only 20%). I feel like Halloween cocktails are all about the look and the taste is a bit of an afterthought. I kept looking through other Halloween drinks for inspiration (and because I didn’t want to make something that has been created over and ov...

Among the New Year's good luck traditions of eating greens (for the prosperity of folded money), legumes (resembling coins) and noodles (for long life) are round or ring-shaped cakes for a sweet full circle, the cycle of life.  In some cultures, the first piece is made as an offering to a saint and subsequent slices are served in order of age.  Sometimes there's a small token hidden for extra good luck to the finder.  So today I'm offering you a round cake in the hope you may enjoy a lovely year full of goodness and light and the very best of good luck As we turn the page into the 2023 winter season, I’m drawn to the fabulous trio of nuts, spice and chocolate.  And although I tend to go with almonds and pecans most of the time, I do love toasted walnuts in pa...
