Boy, am I ever excited about the Bears’ newest generational player.
I’m referring to fourth-round punter Tory Taylor, in case it wasn’t obvious.
In 2024 in sports, everybody who’s anybody is being called “generational” by somebody, and the overuse of the term is rampant and comical. In both fan and media circles, it seems to be younger folks, in particular, who rally around this term like flies to muck. In fairness to them, it is a five-syllable word, which must make it alluring. Then again, so is “unoriginal.”
Anyway, the use of “generational” isn’t merely a generational thing; far from it.
