This is a special time of the year, a time when Bears fans, their annual hopes for a good season having been replaced by their almost-annual anguish, agitate for a change in team ownership.
The reality hits them full force that, under the McCaskey family, the franchise has been a moneymaker but a football-game loser. They’d like a divorce. They’d like an owner who can get to the playoffs more than a miserable six times in 28 years, which is what the Bears have done since 1992. A track record that bad is hard to do and even harder to believe, but there it is.
