WWE star CM Punk rips Bears' leadership amid team's disappointing season
Phillip Brooks, better known by his WWE ring name, CM Punk, is not happy with the state of his hometown NFL team.
Punk, who was born in Chicago, aired some of his grievances with the Bears during a guest appearance on Netflix's NFL coverage Christmas Day.
"Nothingβs going to change until the McCaskeys sell the team. I said it," Punk said in reference to the family that inherited ownership of the Bears from team founder George Halas several decades ago.Β

"Weβre live on Netflix, I donβt care. Iβve been there. Oh, Lovie Smith is going to change the Bears. Oh, Trubisky is going to change the Bears. Then, we trade up and we lose [Patrick] Mahomes."
ROOKIE QB CALEB WILLIAMS IS FRUSTRATED WITH LOSING, AND SO ARE BEARS FANS
While quarterback Mitch Trubisky finished his four-year run in Chicago with more than 10,000 passing yards, his tenure was viewed as a disappointment.
"Weβre going to just walk off the set and let you rant," pregame show co-host Devin McCourty said.
"Mahomes right now. No, heβd be on the Bears. Sorry," Punk responded.Β
Trubisky was the second overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, when the Kansas City Chiefs used the tenth overall selection for Mahomes. In April, the Bears had the draft's first overall pick after trading the 2023 top pick to the Carolina Panthers. This year, the Bears kept the pick and selected USC Trojans standout Caleb Williams.
Williams has struggled at times this season.Β
The Bears enter Thursday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks with a 4-11 record. The Bears have already been eliminated from playoff contention and parted ways with coach Matt Eberflus last month.
But Punk, a self-proclaimed "Chicago sports fan," suggested the franchise's shortcomings should fall at the feet of the team's leadership.Β
"Iβm a Chicago sports fan," Punk said. "And, ladies and gentlemen, it doesnβt get any lower than that right now."

DeSean Jackson finalizing deal to become latest ex-NFL star to land college head coaching job: report
Another former NFL star will be leading a college program in 2025.Β
DeSean Jackson, the dynamic wide receiver who spent 15 years in the NFL, winning one Super Bowl and making three Pro Bowls, appears to be heading to Delaware State to become its next head coach.Β
Jackson and the school are reportedly finalizing an agreement, according to ESPN.Β
"He did an on-campus interview in recent days, and the sides are expected to come together in the near future," the report says.

ESPN adds that Jackson has always wanted to coach at an HBCU program, and Delaware State will fulfill that dream for him.
Jackson retired from the NFL in 2023, but he wasnβt away from the game long. He was coaching at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, California, as an assistant throughout the 2024 season.Β

Jackson will get a crack at leading a program, a Hornets group that went 1-11 in 2024.Β
Jackson is the latest notable former NFL star to join the collegiate ranks. Michael Vick, a former Philadelphia Eagle like Jackson, accepted the head coaching role at Norfolk State.Β
Bill Belichick became the next head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, a shocking development considering heβs never been a college coach during his illustrious career.Β
Deion Sanders made the leap to coaching in college with Jackson State before transforming the Colorado Buffaloes the past two seasons.Β
Jackson played his last NFL season with the Baltimore Ravens, catching nine passes for 153 yards in seven games. But many remember him from his days torching defenses with the Eagles, making all three of his Pro Bowls with the Eagles from 2008-13.Β
Through those eight seasons, Jackson recorded 6,512 receiving yards and 35 touchdowns, many of which left defenses in the dust. He was also involved in one of the most memorable special teams plays in league history with the "Miracle at the Meadowlands II," returning a punt against the New York Giants as time expired to win a game, capping a fourth-quarter comeback from a 31-10 deficit.
Jackson later played for the Washington Commanders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders before that final year in Baltimore.Β
Jackson finished his career catching 641 passes for 11,263 yards and 58 touchdowns.Β

- Toledo, Pitt make bowl game history in extended contest that becomes instant classic
Toledo, Pitt make bowl game history in extended contest that becomes instant classic
Bowl season is always crazy, but on the day after Christmas, college football fans saw something they had never seen before.
Thursday's GameAbove Sports Bowl between Pittsburgh and Toledo took nearly five hours to finish because of a bowl game first.
The contest saw six overtimes, the most ever in a bowl game, en route to Toledo's 48-46 victory.

Overtime was established in college football in 1996, and it was just a month ago that we saw Georgia and Georgia Tech go to eight overtimes. The most in any game is nine from an Illinois-Penn State battle in 2021.
In the first half, Toledo was down 12-6 but scored two touchdowns in a 14-second span β a 67-yard pass and then a 40-yard pick-six β to take a 20-12 lead.
Pitt rallied to go up 30-20 at a point, but Pitt tied the game with just under five minutes to go in regulation.
Both teams scored field goals on their first overtime possession, and then they matched one another with field goals on their next. New overtime rules state that from the third overtime on, teams must convert two-point conversion plays.
Both teams converted on each of their first three tries, but in the sixth overtime, after Toledo hit their fourth-straight, Pitt's pass fell incomplete.
In the fourth overtime, though, Toledo had actually celebrated twice. But their first stop was called back due to a penalty, and after thinking they stopped Pitt again, replay review reversed the call and continued the game. The Rockets got the victory anyway.
Toledo's Tucker Gleason went 26-for-50 for 336 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while also rushing for a score. Junior Vandeross III had 12 catches for 194 yards and a touchdown.
Desmond Reid ran for 165 yards on 32 carries for Pitt in the losing effort.
Toledo is now 12-10 in their bowl game history; it was the fourth year in a row they made a bowl game.
Pitt missed a bowl opportunity last year after taking home the 2022 Sun Bowl.
