The Bear's Den, July 6, 2016

Ken's note: I scoured the net for Chicago Bears news & analysis, and could find exactly TWO articles produced in our newspapers, radio, TV and professional media outlets online about the Bears since yesterday. Lester beat that all by himself, not to mention the rest of the crew. It's that time of year for them, but we at WCG will keep killing it, dragging it home and grilling it so keep hitting us up!
