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. Well life as a Bear ain’t really laid back. Goes oh so close, not so close, heart attack. Georgie-boy’s loose, the fans are gonna craaaack.… Read more

It’s BJ Day in Chicago
Still in disbelief. Had one meeting today and it was at 2:30 right when Adam Schefter tweeted out that Ben Johnson will be the next Chicago Bears Head Coach. I am so glad. Relieved. So many great words to express my feelings on a day known as “Blue Monday”. This “holiday” (not MLK day) is… Read more

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

Sunday Slate: NFL ATS Picks for Week 18
Week 18. What a journey it has been. The 2x defending Super Bowl Champion Chiefs are 15-1 after not scoring more than 30 points all season – wait, what? The NFC North quickly defined itself as the best division in football … while the No. 1 overall pick not only struggled, but saw how dysfunctional… Read more
