12. Not So Fast!

As a Bears fan, I share your frustration, but...
The Bears have won more playoff games this century than Dallas. They've also been to a Superbowl & 2 conference championship games. Dallas is at zero & zero.
There are better teams to watch based upon routine success. SF, KC, Philly, Pittsburgh, LA, Baltimore...
If you had named any of those teams I'd be in complete agreement.
I have said for years, there are 2 kinds of NFL owners:
1) People who own teams because they were billionaires.
2) People who are billionaires because they own teams.
We have the latter. There is nothing in the McCaskey profile that suggests any of them would be big successes in another field. They inherited the team, but not any special acumen. They still run the team like it's a neighborhood tavern & not a multi-billion dollar business.
