I don't get it either, especially if you consider yourself a fan. He has access to people and knowledge ordinary fans can only dream of. Who on this message board wouldn't want to have a beer to pick the brains of guys like Gary Fencik, Olin Kreutz, Mike Singletary, Brian Urlacher, or any number of Bears legends? Who wouldn't love have access to film of legends and current players we have no access to? Who wouldn't love to talk to some exec to get the inside scoop on players and coaches? Who wouldn't want to be able to talk to pro coaches about the game, instead of watching some YouTube video and message boards?
Part of my vitriol is that George has access to things that only fans could dream of, yet he never used that to make this team better. As a fan, if had 1/2 of what George had access to, I'd exploit every single resource to make my team better. And the plus for me is that I would actually enjoy the process. I'd love to have a beer with Jimbo Covert or Jay Hilgenberg to talk about how I could fix my offensive line. If my coach was losing the locker room, I'd have Olin on speed dial to help. If my D defense were lacking motivation, I'd have generations of players and coaches I could reach out to. I would love watching films of legendary players to set a standard for my own players. I get to watch every game from the best seats in the house, so I can really see what's happening in the game. I get to interact with other fans in a way that no other can. And the best thing is that I have no other businesses to attend to other than football. George has a dream gig in a many ways, and it's a shame that he's squandering such an opportunity.
