Justin Fields finds Cole Kmet — and the offensive line makes moves: Brad Biggs’ 10 thoughts on the Chicago Bears’ 2nd preseason win
10 thoughts after the Chicago Bears got a scoring drive from their starters on the game’s first possession and didn’t look back in a 27-11 victory over the Seattle Seahawks Thursday night at Lumen Field. 1. The Justin Fields-to-Cole Kmet connection is something most thought they’d see more of last season. Kmet was productive in Fields’ rookie season and the tight end was easily the No. 2 target behind wide receiver Darnell Mooney for the quarterback. Kmet was targeted 52 times by Fields and made 32 receptions for 330 yards in 2021. That accounted for roughly half of his production (60 receptions for 612 yards), which stands to reason as Fields played in 12 games with 10 starts . The pair got going right away Thursday with Kmet catching a screen pass for 12 yards on the first play from scrimmage during a 10-play, 52-yard drive that led to a 35-yard Cairo Santos field goal. Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy seemed to want to have Fields get the ball out of his hand quickly, and … [Read more...] about Justin Fields finds Cole Kmet — and the offensive line makes moves: Brad Biggs’ 10 thoughts on the Chicago Bears’ 2nd preseason win

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 MATTAPOISETT, Mass. (AP) — A huge fire at a Massachusetts marina left several boats and vehicles burned-out shells Friday and produced a plume of black smoke so thick it was picked up by weather radar. Aerial video taken by WCVB-TV showed much of the boatyard in Mattapoisett engulfed in flames Friday afternoon, destroying a number of boats, vehicles and buildings. Firefighters from around the region, including from as far away as Providence, Rhode Island about 30 miles away, responded to the blaze.

I’ve been on Tinder for 10 yrs. It’s given me the best and worst dates of my life. One couldn’t speak a word of English
THERE have been ten years of Tinder. A decade in which millions of people, including myself, have got a serious RSI from swiping right. When Tinder first appeared in 2012, I had the dubious privilege of being one of the first journalists to give this ‘crazy’ new way of dating a try. It seemed a weird novelty then to match with random people nearby, just using your phone. I optimistically wrote that this new dating app was a way to “find love from the palm of your hand”. I laugh now at how naïve I was. Or perhaps I should cry given that this week (a decade on) I’ve just joined Tinder again. Either way, in ten years since I first tried Tinder I’ve watched it irrevocably change the dating landscape. Perhaps the greatest sea-change Tinder led was removing the stigma from online dating, once synonymous with sad geeks and divorcees, and turning it into something cool.
