I'm still trying to figure this whole Pokemon Go craze. There's no leaderboard or multiplayer function. You just chase imaginary animals??

Chicago Bears guard Kyle Long, especially, seems to have succumbed to his love for Pokemon, not even letting workouts get in the way of his quest to catch 'em all.

Not all players are happy with the new craze, however, as free-agent guard Willie Colon took more of an old-man-shouting-at-kids-on-his-lawn point of view of the game.
