Before the Chicago Bears were able to end their regular season on a high note by defeating the Green Bay Packers for the first time in six seasons, they had lost 10 in a row.
One of those recent 10 losses came at the hands of the Detroit Lions, who embarrassed Chicago at home at Soldier Field just a few weeks ago. For fans who remember the infamous "stumble" play, this was the game where Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson did his best to not only audition for the head coaching vacancy, but embarrass this Bears team at the same time.
It was also a game that saw a huge outpouring of Lions fans in the stands at Soldier Field, which was a rarity. Bears players, coaches and fans didn't necessarily take kindly to seeing so many Lions fans at this game and, at times, the Bears were even bothered by it on the field.
In a home tilt, Caleb Williams and the offense had to use a silent snap count at times.
In a recent radio interview on 670 The Score, this topic was brought up on the "Spiegel and Holmes" show. The two of them brought on Derek Stevens, CEO of Circa Resort and Casino, who also happened to be a die-hard Detroit Lions fan.
Holmes first played the audio of an annoyed George McCaskey who was talking about Lions fans taking over a few weeks back.
"I was more bothered when Lions fans tried to take over Soldier Field and force the home team to go to a silent snap count," the Chicago Bears owner said.
Bears fans should not be surprised to learn that George McCaskey is one big, lying hypocrite
After hearing what McCaskey had to say about being disgusted with Bears fans selling their tickets to the Detroit crowd, Holmes asked Stevens what his thoughts were on the matter:
"What was it like trying to take over Soldier Field, Derek?"
"Well, I don't know where you want me to go with that because McCaskey sold me his suite," Stevens responded.
There you have it. McCaskey tried fooling us all into thinking he was angry over Bears fans selling their tickets to Lions fans for the game, when all the while, it was McCaskey who sold one of his very own suites to a Lions fan.
More Bears news:
You cannot be more of a hypocrite than this, folks. It cannot possibly be done.
The very literal definition of hypocrisy, for those wondering: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.
In other words, a hypocrite is someone who says one thing but does the exact opposite. The old saying, "practice what you preach," might ring a bell here.
McCaskey is not, in fact, practicing what he preaches. This man isn't just a self-proclaimed "non football guy," but he is an outright liar.
It's no wonder nothing has changed at Halas Hall. It's no wonder there are questions about whether or not some top head coaching candidates will truly want this job. The Bears' very owner is a blatant liar, and there's no other way to put it.
