Justin Fields is him.No team in the NFL has a more pathetic history at quarterback than the Chicago Bears.

None of those moves changed the fact that Chicago has never had an elite quarterback. Justin Fields always had a chance to...

And the public should be invited to spit on them."Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville is fantasizing about having President Donald Trump’s “collaborators” publicly humiliated and paraded in the streets — and he says that “the public should be invited to spit on them.” Carville, the brains behind former President Bill Clinton’s “it’s the economy, stupid,” was speaking with Al Hunt on his “Politics War Room” podcast when he laid out what he referred to as a “fantasy dream” sequence of events that he’d like to...
