Some of this from the Bears may sound familiar

The Chicago Bears fired head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace on Monday morning, which left Bears fans feeling uncharacteristically hopeful that things might actually change.

But much like Nagy’s second-half collapses, Monday went from great to hopeless once Chairman George McCaskey took center stage later that afternoon.

McCaskey met the Chicago media for roughly an hour, where he addressed everything from Nagy and Pace’s firings to the search efforts for a new head coach and GM. But with McCaskey, even a routine end-of-year press conference always seems to develop into an absolute disaster.

While many didn’t think it could get worse than last year’s press conference, it’s right up there with it.

Here’s a look at some of the most embarrassing moments from McCaskey (and Phillips) during their press conference:

I know, but the Bears are an absolute disaster. Misery loves company, I guess?
Wow

Could you imagine having that POS suit as your owner? Are the Mara’s really on this level? I don’t think so.
Not great in public but let's be real.....the difference between the

The Bears and GB is Aaron Rodgers.

Not some mythical organization...the media can spin it anyway you like.....and they obviously don't like the guy.

Had no idea the Bears owner was this bad

Mara is nowhere near that level of a doofus. George seems like an actual POS. Mara is seemingly a good guy, means well, but gets in his own way.

We always think we have it the worst .... because we are emotionally attached.

There is a lot worse.
Holy cow

I know we are down on Mara but this press conference is Olympic level stupidity and way worse than Mara.
Brother in law is big Bears fan...

You think we hate ownership? Their fanbase might be on par with us.
None of that is all that familiar to us if we're being honest

Unless one wants to overstate things.
Common factor?

What a ridiculous statement. The Bears are run by a man who's mother is the COB, and the board is littered with family. How in the world does that look like GB, a publicly-owned franchise that puts board elections up to its shareholders?

There is little chance that the GB board would put up with this kind of leadership.
What makes the Bears worse

is they are cheap as hell.

Mara is a loser, but he'll spend money trying to win. The Bears are as tight as they get.

Bears ownership trying to control a narrative with that high school comment that they have no business commenting on. What a bunch of A$$holes.
I mean I have a biased picture of what a midwestern guy looks

and sounds like and McCaskey just fits it perfect.
Yeah the HS game stuff was done by a bunch of HS students

And widely condemned at the time of the incident

No need to bring that up, particularly as an addendum to taking about a reporters death.
