To say that I’m absolutely stunned is an understatement. Just hitting the wires right now that Gaines was taken to a South Carolina hospital and pronounced dead.

Chicago Bears defensive end Gaines Adams died Sunday morning after he was taken to a Greenwood, S.C., emergency room, the county coroner said.

Greenwood County Coroner James T. Coursey said Adams was taken to the emergency room at Self Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9 a.m. ET Sunday morning.

I didn’t see this live but Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio caught this on his DVR last night as the Bears took a knee at the end of regulation and sent the game into overtime.

The crowd didn’t like the decision. And they made it known. Loudly.

After quarterback Jay Cutler flipped the ball to the official, he gestured quickly toward the end zone, possibly with his middle finger.

I don’t know how else that can be looked at. Because personally, I’ve never made a gesture with my hands
like that without it being the middle finger. Unless that’t the one-finger shocker. I’ve been known to do that once or twice.
