@Sodboy13 (quoted above) and @The_Admiral can opine with more clarity on the politics and local points, so I'll not bother, but as a very passionate and long-time Bears fan, the non-twitter reaction to the renderings, the financial plan, and the church sermon/press conference has been quiet. Dead quiet. I think most will view this whole endeavor with a pre-installed fatigue over the consistently mind-boggling financial decisions the Bears organization has made for decades, bolstered by the tiresome and constant hand-wringing of billionaire NFL owners crying poor, and how stadiums are, for whatever reason, only lasting maybe 10-15 years before it is absolutely vital that a new stadium be built with a huge allotment of taxpayer dollars. The twist of having this particular mission being, apparently, a mission from The Lord, is a particularly insulting one, but I guess relentless prayer has kept Virginia McCaskey alive since the Battle of Bull Run and was surely the primary constructor of US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, so what the hell do I know?

The prayer before the stadium presentation was really a bad look. Kevin Warren's faux-ministry bull stuff really makes me ill. I could give a rat's ass about the renderings or the financial plans.

Old Poorly-Educated Great-Uncle Voice: HEHEH LOOKS LIKE DEH TEXANS ARE ON THE RAGGGGGG

That's a great look. I like the new numbers, personally. Collar looks good with pads.

HOME AND AWAY: ALTERNATE: COLOR RUSH:

Between weed, painkillers, and HGH, they'll be plenty high for both road and home games next season. edit: Oh, and cocaine!

This feels very much like a Jets situation. They'll drop these crap-ass new unis and go with the old school look asap.

The captain looks far more bored in the new branding. In the previous design he's pleasantly sauced, arrogant, and trying to get laid. In this new one it's the same photoshoot but the next morning when he's hungover as and is preoccupied with getting Taco Bell.

Guessing they'll do something like Copperheads or Honey Badgers.

What else can be said? We’re in hell.

The White Sox odds are +25,000 to win the world series, so

This looks like a cover for a 90s Madden game. Also there's no shortage of guys that can come in and play DL for UFL squads. Guy is a jackass and can find work elsewhere, at a Waffle House or something.

Tua will probably push to get him signed to the Dolphins PS or something. He'll do everything under the sun for at least a year or two before going to the UFL, because while to the average person like you and me, the UFL is the obvious option, but to a dope like Taulia, it's better to rot on a dozen practice squads than to lower himself to this league.

Pretty easy top pick this week. A feast for the eyes.

The lemons were just the beginning. Someday there will be another seemingly harmless promotion that will result in meme-actions aplenty once more. The league may publicly poo-poo things like hurling lemons, but they need that kind of organic tomfoolery to generate buzz.

It's about as close to Robo-Umpires as the sport can get. There's eye in the sky for all the flags and infractions, reviews are fast and ultimately judged by Dean Blandino. It's butter smooth, IMO, but it'll never reach the NFL unless the NFLRA is dismantled.

Stallions v. Renegades Matt Corral is an intriguing talent The Renegades can suck it Battlehawks v. Panthers Great uniform matchup Not a great turnout. Easter/Elite Eight weekend didn't help, but I hope those numbers turn around, for everybody's sake McCarron may not finish the season if his line doesn't give him more protection. He's gonna get rolled up on one of these games. EJ Perry is once, twice, three times a Panther, and he was solid. Gutsy draw at the goal line, knowing he was going to get rocked. He puts on a good show with his legs, somebody to keep an eye on as the season gets going. The color commentator was peaking all over with his mic levels. Annoying. Jake Bates is going to be an NFLer this season if he keeps this up. Showboats v. Roughnecks aka Broke-Ass Wal-Mart Oilers Houston continues to have probably the worst uniforms in the sport. Just awful. Darius Victor, 30 years old, the Liberian Loveboat, gave CTE the stiffarm (for now) with some tough runs. Not many good runs, but ya know, tough-like. Case Cookus sucks. Daewood Davis is someone to keep an eye on. TJ Pledger confused me. For a minute I thought his name was "Pleasure," so when the broadcaster said that Guarantano found Pleasure, I stifled a giggle. Sage Surratt's name being called reminded me of the existence of Chazz Surratt, who never amounted to much. Bummer, I really liked Chazz coming out of college. Game ending on a muffed punt kinda blew, but hey, UFL football baybay. Defenders v. Brahmas McFarland returning the opening kickoff with one shoe is peak UFL. Keep the name Pooka Williams in mind. He's in the running (from the cops) for the UFL's Bad Boy candidate of the year. Cool red zone play by SA, fake shovel pass into an end around. Didn't score, but I liked the concept. Love the optical measurement of the 4th down. Again, another brilliant thing the NFL should adopt, but probably won't because the officials wouldn't be able to shave points. Big swollen balls call by the Brahmas to let their punter chuck a deep ball for a touchdown just before half. Caught by the center, no less! The UFL needs to encourage this kind of stuff. Go wild. Jordan Ta'amu fumbling for no reason, then completing a no-look whoopedy-doo spinning pass while taking a hit is what this league is all about. Jean DeLance not only committing a false start, then spitting on a guy is the inaugural, and thus eponyous recipient of the Jean DeLance Award for Being a Sports Dumbass.

Correct. Kickoffs Kickoffs will look like more traditional college/NFL kickoffs but will take place from the 20-yard line of the kicking team. A kickoff out of bounds will give possession to the receiving team 30 yards from the spot of the kickoff or at the spot where the ball went out of bounds. A kickoff that is untouched by the receiving team may only be recovered by the kicking team up to 20 yards from the spot of the kick. Other Kicking/Touchback Rules All touchbacks on kicks (punts or kickoffs) will be placed at the receiving team’s 25-yard line. Any punt that goes out of bounds inside the receiving team’s 25-yard line will be considered a touchback and placed at the 25-yard line. Non-kicking touchbacks will also be placed at the 25-yard line.

Bears twitter has basically already decided he is a homosexual and should be run out of the game. It's really, really depressing, but not unexpected that people behave like that.

Here's a side by side of the Texans with the red facemask, socks, and numbers for comparison.
