George McCaskey is… Making Me Happy?? Ben Johnson’s Bears Intro
I can’t believe the title here either, don’t worry. Since Sunday’s news, I’ve mostly just felt excitement about finally landing the head coach EVERYONE was hoping for this offseason; but today, after watching our new coach’s introductory press conference, a new feeling crept in.

Ben Johnson, Welcome Home Big Boy!
Rewrote John Denver’s “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” up through the first chorus as “Thank God BJ Is A Bear”… If unfamiliar, click on the song title to listen.

Post Wild Card Weekend Coaching Predictions
And just like that, Fat Face is out of Dallas. Jerry Jones, 82, has decided to cut ties with Mike McCarthy in a shocking turn of events, especially after reports suggested he would be getting an extension. At this point, though, you can’t really be surprised by anything Jerry Jones does. He’s an 82-year-old owner… Read more

Bears Coaching Search – We’ve Ridden This Train Before
It is January 12th, 2025. I wake up to the vibration of my phone on the nightstand to my left and ignore it as I adjust my position, get comfortable under the covers, and pass a little gas (to my wife’s dismay). Another vibration, then another….. and another. The texts are coming in early and… Read more
