LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Move over Dave Wannstedt and Marc Trestman, you have company.
From the NFL charter franchise whose greatest hits include Wannstedt’s “all the pieces are in place” (they were not) in the mid-90's and Trestman’s hilarious misspeak “we’re going to be a team that is selfish and undisciplined” (they most certainly were) comes the latest addition to the catalog, courtesy of Chicago Bears president and CEO Ted Phillips.
On Wednesday, Phillips uttered 19 words that are sure to live in Chicago sports infamy. Nineteen words that illustrate the gap between how the Bears see the current state of their organization and the reality their paying customers witnessed this season.
