A Chicago News Network Had Eyes In The Sky To Keep Track Of...Cody Parkey Practicing Field Goals?11/15/2018
While I question the allocation of resources in a city whose murder rate remains a relatively sizable concern, I must say that I respect how invested Chicago as a whole and Bears' fans are in making sure a winning season that's been a long time coming doesn't get completely decleated by a kicker. While being impressively accurate in his inaccuracy by doinking four field goals in a single game, Cody Parkey didn't even manage to steal a sure win from the Bears...
However, you can't help but appreciate the inherent paranoia of fandom that has a flagship news station stalking his every move like he just pulled off a heist of the Federal Reserve. I'd argue that an organization should probably just cut ties with their kicker if those that are emotionally invested in its success feel the desperate need to put choppers in the sky to track his mid-week progress, but I sure hope they don't as I'm rather enjoying the ridiculousness of Cody Parkey getting the O.J. Simpson treatment. Now, I'm not sure how bringing that haunting feeling of everyone watching him to the practice field is going to help a guy who is clearly already in his own head. As I understand self-fulfilling prophecies, it sort of seems like he might be at a higher risk of killing another drive after being made into a murderer by the local news, but don't let me interrupt the coverage of an NFL kicker who is being swarmed like he just committed 5 star's worth of felonies on Grand Theft Auto.
