Growing up I wanted to be Dick Butkus. In Louisville, KY in the 1960’s the Bears were the closest NFL team and they were on television most weekends.

I became a fan of the Chicago Bears.

And after walloping the Rams last night the Bears are looking good. With their remaining schedule including teams that have a combined winning percentage somewhere in the .27 range the Bears could win out. If that happens any NFC ticket to Miami will have to go through Chicago.

In honor of the Bears I am changing out my blog picture.

Number 23… he had a pretty good night.
