I was up late last night (a.k.a. early this morning) looking for a World Series comp that my football-loving audience here at BN Bears would understand. Before nodding off to dreamland, I landed on the idea of the Blue Jays losing Games 6 and 7 (and, ultimately, the World Series) was the baseball version of the 49ers last two Super Bowl losses. Both teams had leads and command of the game against juggernaut favorites, only to not cash in on opportunities before the big baddies came through wit...
Good morning, Bears fans. Hopefully the extra hour of sleep gave the Bears an extra hour of planning to beat the Bengals. Last week’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens was a step backwards for the 4-3 Chicago Bears and their possible playoff hopes, but this year’s squad can’t possibly turn this loss into a ten-game […]

Current Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson played football at the University of North Carolina as a walk-on quarterback under offensive coordinator John Shoop, who also happened to be the Bears’ play-caller in 2001. Shoop, serving as offensive coordinator under then-head coach Dick Jauron when Chicago visited Cincinnati on Oct. 21, 2001, played a formative role in Johnson’s coaching development. Johnson has credited Shoop as one of his biggest mentors, and it seems fitting that we revis...

The Chicago Bears look to get back in the winning column after dropping one last week to the Baltimore Ravens.

Here we go again, Chicago Bears fans. That old fear is back. The fear that this team got it wrong again. With every chance to get it right. With the No. 1 overall pick in their clutches and the choice of any of the three top QBs in the 2024 before them. It was hard […]
