Still The Happiest Anniversary There Is

Nine years ago tonight, I was happy. Unthinkingly happy. Unconsciously happy. It was a haze of bliss then. It’s still a warm feeling now. Nine year ago tonight, the Chicago Cubs finally did it. Perhaps someday, when November 2 rolls around and I think about the anniversary it marks, I might be filled with more sadness than happiness. There would come a point – some year in the future, couldn’t say yet exactly how long it would take – when the distance from November 2, 2016 will feel so va...

WATCH: Tricky Bears Score Again With Olamide Zaccheaus

The Chicago Bears offense has the Cincinnati Bengals defense confused and befuddled in the early going. This is how they took the lead early in the second quarter after falling behind following a Cincinnati Bengals field goal: OZ takes it 15 yards for the score! 📺: CBS pic.twitter.com/IDGwDHDTW6 — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) November 2, 2025 I am 100 percent here for the trickery, gadgetry, pageantry, and misdirection.

Joe Flacco Update, NFL Playoff Odds, Trade Deadline Rumors, Players to Watch in Week 9, World Series and Super Bowl Comp, and Other Bears Bullets

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...

The Dodgers Repeat, Big Moments and Regrets, Former Cub Passes Away, and Other Cubs Bullets

The time change is helping this morning, because I was up way too late watching that game … There’s just no way around it: that was one of the most incredible Game Sevens in a very long time. Yes, 2016 tops it in my completely biased opinion, but this is right up there just behind it. Some tremendous individual performances. Huge game swings. Close calls. Eye-popping defense in big spots. A game-tying 9th inning home run. Extra innings. And then a game-winner in the 11th: WILL SM...
