Ben “Bleeping” Johnson, meet George “Bleeping” Halas

When the two star rookies signed with the Bears in 1948, they learned immediately the preferred vocabulary of their new head coach, George Stanley Halas. “Lujack and I joined […]

Fresh off the Bears’ Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers, you can […]

The Packers wanted the Bears… and then what happened?

The Green Bay Packers sure were mad after the Chicago Bears walked them off a few weeks ago. They talked and talked, hoping they’d get an opportunity for revenge on the Bears in the playoffs.

Bears 24-Hour Rule: Round 3 Goes To Chicago

I don’t know about all of you, but I’m having a tough time observing the 24-hour rule this weekend after Saturday night’s win. Yesterday, I spent most of the day consuming Bears-Packers content. Today, I woke up still on a high from the win. Luckily, I’m sure Ben Johnson has fully turned the page for him and his team as they prepare to host the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field on Sunday. Let’s try to do the same, shall we? It’s time to react one final time (well, for now at least) to the...
