My All-Time Historical Bears Team: Team Sweetness
Never make the same mistake twice. In 2018, when the WCG crew did our first all-time Bears draft, I made a whole draft plan based on the notion that I would surely not get the #1 pick and therefore would not get to pick Walter Payton. So of course I got the #1 pick. And […]

My All-Time Historical Bears Team: Special Bears Unit
My version of an All-Time Historical Chicago Bears team is composed largely of standout players from the Bears’ rich history. With only a few exceptions, each player on my roster is representative of a “special” season for Chicago – be it 2025, 2018, 2010, 2006, 1985, or even 1963. This, along with an emphasis on […]
My All-Time Historical Bears Team: Gooch’s Chicago Monsters
This is my first year participating in the All-Bears Historical Fantasy Draft, and I knew I was up against stiff competition.
