Bears Legend Jim McMahon Says Chicago Is 'Where Quarterbacks Go to Die'

Legendary quarterback Jim McMahon had some choice words for the organization he led to a Super Bowl while appearing on 12/52 Sports' FatMike Chicago Sports Show this week.

Asked why the Chicago Bears struggle to develop quarterbacks, McMahon had a simple explanation.
