Why I Am A Chicago Bears Fan

Have not been blogging much this week. Most of my spare cycles have been spent trying to find a seat at Super Bowl XLI. I have been to four Super Bowls. I am starting to resign myself to the fact that I may not get to this one.

But I am a Bears fan. Why?

The Wall Street Journal, of all publications, seemed it up pretty well today.

And the names of famous Bears and bits of Bearsiana are so hallowed you expect to hear an echo when you say them aloud: George Halas. Red Grange. Bronko Nagurski. Gale Sayers. Walter Payton. Mike Ditka. The Monsters of the Midway. “Brian’s Song.” The Super Bowl Shuffle.

On on top of this, defense has always been the key for the Bears. I have been a defensive kinda guy since my days of playing at Westport.

A little later in the week I will outline the keys to a Bears victory. Right now I am just playing out my last hopes for a ticket.
