The Bernstein Brief: Talk Of Bears' Offense Is Mind-Numbing

By Dan Bernstein--

(CBS) I'm applying a special filter to anything said about another version of the Bears' offense at this point in training camp: I hear it and read it and then immediately delete it.

Not again. Not again, again.

I don't care if it's the usual droning from Jay Cutler, revisionist gobbledygook from weirdo Mike Martz or anything from Adam Gase or the already-frustrated John Fox. Let's get to the exhibition games and see what it is, kinda. I can't take much else, even when I'm in the middle of talking about it or asking somebody else about it -- if that makes any sense.

We can regurgitate any stories from any of the myriad transitional seasons for Cutler and whomever, all saying essentially the same things with different names inserted. And then the season starts and a bunch of guys get hurt and everything becomes the usual gelatinous amalgam of mediocrities, with some good and some awful, the moments of latter more often undermining longer stretches of the former.

We've been here before. In fact, we never left.
