By now all of Chicago has heard the news. Mitch Trubisky, the first-place Bears’ second-year quarterback has an injured shoulder and may not play on Thanksgiving against the Lions in Detroit. The city holds its breath in concern.
At the same time, I have an aching soreness in my right shoulder too. Whose shoulder matters more?
