       Their "president of football operations" doesn't make football
       decisions he is a figurehead and has said so.  This is DEI BS in
       action.  It allows them to reward whoever they want to and not
       reward others based on something undefinable.

       In retrospect, what the Bears should have done was to request a
       ruling from the league as to whether or not they would be
       awarded the picks.  When the league said no, the Bears should
       have made a condition of allowing the hire that the Falcons
       re-title Ryan's position in such a way that the Bears would get
       the picks.

       The Bears could have said then it was a lateral move and he
       can't leave unless the Falcons trade us picks.  But the Bears
       never play hardball.

       Sue the NFL.  If this was Jones or the late Al Davis, there is
       no way in hell they would swallow this bullshit.  Unfortunately,
       George doesn't have the balls and is just focused on Hammond.

       Yeah, but you don't want to be "that" team.  My suggestion costs
       the Falcons nothing and achieves the objective.

       Yeah and Blank just handed out the blueprint.  Was it in his
       mind to screw a team out of picks by splitting McKay's old
       position into 2 freakin' presidents?  Probably not.  And maybe
       the Bears should have done a double take and confirm with the
       league after Ian first interviewed for the Falcon's president of
       football ops job which everyone knew was going to be handed to
       an ex-QB figurehead on a silver platter.  But it's a copy cat
       league in all facets.
