Way back in 2000, during an episode of his late-night talk show, comedian Chris Rock charted Black progress in America, essentially the back-and-forth of Black Americans in their efforts to reach the proverbial “there.”In this hilarious bit, Rock spoke of the steps forward, which included advances Black folks made in civil rights, politics and other areas. But he also joked about the many steps backward, like embarrassing missteps of some Black entertainers, which seemed to negate that progress.

I still remember walking through my first home — my only home — back in 2005. It had hardwood floors, a garage with a covered deck, a backyard, an enclosed back porch that could be used as an additional room and a finished attic featuring a master bedroom and a family room. In the partially finished basement, there was a laundry room and enough open space for my three young daughters to run laps, play hide-and-seek and perform other feats of mischief.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles is predicting a “wild” Day 1 of the NFL draft on Thursday. With the number of elite players in the single digits but as many as 75 potential starters on the board, he sees fewer impediments than ever for teams to be aggressive. Perhaps even the Bears. “I feel really confident where we’re at,” Poles said Tuesday. The last three years, though, that’s yielded nothing more than league average production.
