No Bears Despair this year as Chicago still proudly flies the W

Football. Chicago Bears football. Deplorable. We are approaching week 12 – three quarters of the way into the 2016 Season and again our team, the once “Monsters of the Midway” have drained the die-hard fans of all but a teeny weeny, measly sliver of any hope to make it into the playoffs. Consequently, My Sports... Read more »

Warning: Sports Talk Will Infringe on the Shopping Spree - My BFF Learns a Lesson

Last week my best friend Roseann came to visit for a few days. One morning over coffee, we were planning our day and chitchatting when (I guess) in the spirit of politely including My Guy in the conversation – she made a huge mistake.

Some Advice For Fans on How to Chase Away The Chicago Bears Blues

Sunday morning started out positive. Football-Game Day-Chicago Bears and the Miami Dolphins playing in Chicago, and the soothsayer Sports Brains were all predicting a Bears victory in Soldier Field. Of course, they would win. They had to win. They LOST their first two games at home and couldn’t possibly go 0-3 at home. The team... Read more »

Cheese Grater Hats, Wine Bras, and Plastic Totebags for Soldier Field: Must Have Football Accessories

The Cheese Grater Hat has arrived. In response to the always fashionable Cheesehead Chapeaux (a large wedge of foam cheese proudly worn on the heads of scores of Green Bay Packer fans), rival Bears fans have been spotted as Cheese GraterHeads. This visual is self explanatory and hysterical one-upmanship. Last night we were watching the... Read more »

Sunday Fun Day. Chicago is 2-0 and Bears fever for NFL Game 3 actually started the minute after last week’s win over the Minnesota Vikings. Now, at some point during the week, I realized that Da Bears have the 7:30pm Sunday night slot against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also, at some point during the week, I... Read more »

Happened to watch a snippet of the NFL Today show on CBS before the Bears game last Sunday. The Talking Heads were (or so I thought) quizzing each other on football trivia. Questions: “What city will the AFC Championship game be held in this year? And “What team will get the first pick of the... Read more »

Brian Urlacher Jerseys Saved From The Goodwill Pile

Ever since Brian Urlacher began his negotiations with the Bears, I have been duly concerned about the fate of the Brian Urlacher #54 Jerseys owned by tens of thousands of Bear’s fans. If you are at Soldier Field, or for that matter, at any sports bar in the city on a Bear’s game day, what... Read more »
