Happy Fourth Of July everybody!
If you plan to party hard today, please remember to be safe. If you're drinking make sure you have a designated driver or just pass out wherever you end up. A long 8 hour nap after drinking yourself silly would probably be best anyway.
Please feel free to utilize this as an Independence Day open thread. Anything that pops into your mind (within reason) drop it in the comment section.
Here's a bit of neat information for some of you... Did you know that you can change your SB Nation username? Maybe you signed up for Windy City Gridiron under a "cool" name like GeauxBears, Smudgers, OrangeShyGuy#1 or BizzleMyBearsNizzle, but now you're having a change of heart.
SB Nation is allowing users one change and one change only. If you truly want to change your SB Nation/WCG moniker just click here for the simple step by step instructions.
I think there's some mandate that every article on WCG at least mentions the Chicago Bears, so if you haven't seen this neat graphic on the 2014 Bears Travel Schedule, click right here!
Now please enjoy these Independence Day themed video clips.
