7 out of 10.
I apparently have enough time on my hands to take this test, but haven’t used enough of that time learning enough about Da Bears to ace this test. I hang my head in shame.
Yeah me too. Oops.

Rams fan here
I was wondering about the Bears interest in Danario Alexander. I heard they may have some interest, but it sounded like a 50-50 up in the air kind of thing. Have you heard anything about interest in him and do you have a visit scheduled or anything?
Btw, I only got 4 out of 10 on that quiz, most of them were complete guesses.

"Btw, I only got 4 out of 10 on that quiz, most of them were complete guesses."
Never come here again sir.
As far as DA goes, we’ve already got our own D.A. Devin Aromashodu! We’ve pretty much anointed him the next Jerry Rice/Randy Moss, he’s awesome!!!
As far as Alexander goes, we were supposedly holding a “Pro day” workout with him. I’m guessing we’re just seeing what he’s made of. Personally, I like the kid. He’s got size, speed, and skill. We’ll see what everyonelse thinks of him soon.
WILDCARD BITCHES!!! YEEEEHHHAAAAA!!!!!
We love him as well.
I know we have a visit scheduled and one other team does, I don’t know if its the Bears or not. Btw, I just forgot I posted this until now, my untimely reply wasn’t because you told me to never come back.

Joey Buttafuoco and John Stamos references in the same post?
Hold on to your IOU sweatshirts and Cross-Colour jeans folks, cause we’re going back in time…

I was really suprised I got #3 wrong. I thought for sure it was LeFevour.

I thought for sure that #8 was Boba Fett.
Damn it.

Naa, Boba wasn't much of an athlete.
Which is how he managed to fall down a hole even while wearing a jet pack.

good post. i can’t believe i thought it was olin on #1, i just read about that asiata guy earlier this week. 10 was a complete guess but i would like to see bruce banner in a bears uniform.
i got lucky on 5 and 7 because there is a good deal of northwestern football coverage every year in the local papers
Fun quiz...
I can see a monthly series here!
In the 8th grade Mike Ditka won his school's Science Fair with a model of a working volcano. There were 17 other working volcano's made that day, but only one named Mount Ditka.

Was totally D. I call shenanigans. And an injunction, to investigate more thoroughly.
