I’m sure I’m not the only Bears fan who breathed a big sigh of relief at 3:15 on Sunday after the final seconds had ticked off the clock at Soldier Field. It was the Bears’ first victory over the Pack in Soldier field since 1993, and I’m sure a sturdy sense of relief resonated throughout the Bears locker room as well. Once again the Bears were able to get the big plays on defense and do just enough on offense to win 19-7 and move to 9-3 on the season.

I love Thanksgiving; it is truly is the perfect holiday for NFL fans. It is socially acceptable to eat like you?re at a tailgate party and NFL football is expected to be on televisions across the land. Each year, I only seem to have one gripe about this outstanding holiday; I am from Chicago and I want to watch the Bears. I am jealous every year of the folks in Dallas and Detroit. How did these cities become so lucky? Who decided that the Cowboys and Lions were the Popes of Thanksgiving Day, and just when did all of this...more

Da Coach? Ditka? Sausage? Payton? 1985 Super Bowl Champs? Da Bears!!!

Its 10:45 in the morning on a crisp November Sunday in Chicago and the tense expectation of NFL football hangs in the air. My level of eagerness for today?s Bears game is through the roof. Like many folks on a typical Bears? Sunday, I usually get fired up to the point where I yell and throw things at my TV from the ass groove that I?ve forged in my couch (I even yell during pre-game), but today is extra special. This Sunday morning, I?m on my way to...more
