It came out of nowhere, a gift from above, a sure sign that the goofiness had finally, marvelously returned.
Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky was talking with reporters in a video conference a week ago, and behind him was a framed version of Theodore Roosevelt’s famous “Man in the Arena’’ speech from 1910. The speech is a middle finger to those sallow ninnies (critics) who wouldn’t know the meaning of “macho’’ if a cargo plane dropped a load of pecs and biceps on their heads.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better,’’ Roosevelt said.
