We would really like this Blake Martinez kid… if he hadn’t picked No. 50 for his number.
But hey, maybe he’ll make us forget all about the atrocity that was A.J. Hawk. Then we would REALLY love him!
For now, he’s warming on us. He’s warming on us because he’s burning Chicago Bears gear.
Or at least that’s what he’s saying.
There was a story that came out after the draft that Martinez had gear from all 32 NFL teams. His dad wanted to make sure he had the right gear to wear after he got drafted, you see. So he stocked the house with every possibility.
What happened to all that gear?
Martinez says family and friends took some of it, while the rest was donated.
Except for the Chicago Bears gear…
“Pretty sure we burned the Bears stuff,” Martinez said.
Does this dude get it?
Well, he’s batting .500 so far.
He gets that the Bears can fuck themselves. There’s still that unfortunate number choice, though.
You can still change it, bro!
Either he puts the tenacity back in the 50 or we retire that number for futility.
