Never have I felt so good about the Bears chances of winning that game, then that moment. :(

There might be 3 Lovie Smiths in that pic...

The guy to the left of the guy with his hands in the air, the bald guy in the t-shirt, and the guy on the far right of the pic. Lol.

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. (Vince Lombardi)

It was one of the best single moments in my life as a Bears fan.

Awesome… and I’ll never forget it.

Hester took us to that game… and then started it off for us.

I can't believe

that i have to pay $108 for that fricking 4th preseason game again. Why can’t can’t we ever get the third game when the starters play alot? I hate that 4th game..waste of money..

Or....

You could pay $300 for a great seat watching two crappy NCAA teams.

If cutler does come to chicago

that August 30 game would undoubtedly be the most hyped Exhibition game in the history of sports.

I'm sure the

Bills game will get plenty of hype for the TO debut. He hasn’t even played one down yet and i’m already tired of hearing about TO and the Bills.

If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let's face it.
