Saying a prayer for Bears general manager Ryan Poles

Eulogies usually begin with a prayer, followed at some point by song. The prayer to contextualize the death of, the song to put everything in perspective.

Not even his Bears eulogy. That day, with his role now officially on-the-clock within the Bears’ Halas’d Halls, will be upon us in the nearer future than the distant.
