I feel like I’ve watched that exact same Bears game about 1,000 times in my life.

JUST IN: Massive half-mile wide tornado reported in several counties in Nebraska, knocking over a semi-truck.
Western Omaha residents are being told to seek shelter now as the tornado is moving towards Elkhorn.
Multiple toronados have been reported in the Lincoln area with 60mph winds and "golf balls-sized hail." (Nebraska Public Media)
According to the Lincoln Journal, one of the tornadoes was "a half mile wide at one point."
Insane.

This needs to be said by all #Bears fans, but s/o Ryan Poles and Ian Cunningham.
These two had a plan. A 3-year rebuild. In one of the worst situations they could have walked into.
In 3 years
-Fixed the books
-Built a culture
-Built a team
And now? We’re looking at potentially having success for the next decade.
I know everyone said build Caleb a statue if he wins, but man, I’m building Poles and Cunningham one first.
Grateful for these two 🤝

Mother—
These words evade me. The Draft Council sent word by telegram that I am to be dispatched to Chicago in immediacy!
Rest assured that I will carry our family name with honor & distinction. Your pride is my guiding light.
I find myself gone with the Wind to Chicago.

In the last 9 yrs the Chicago Bulls have 3 playoff wins (Pistons/Magic only 2 teams with less) and 2 playoff appearances (Kings/Hornets only 2 teams with less)
The Bulls suck and should be viewed as a bottom tier franchise in the NBA as long as Jerry Reinsdorf owns the team

The Illinois fanbase is an enigma to many. Some outsiders label it as an obsession, while others deem it pathetic, delusional, unrealistic, or blindly loyal. As someone involved in recruiting, I frequently interact with families and parents, and it's remarkable how often the Illinois fanbase comes up in conversations in all sports.
Having spent over 20 years in this profession and traveled the country extensively, I've observed that the Illinois media's commitment to covering the team matches the fervor of the fans.
Jeremy Fear Sr., whose son Jeremiah committed to Illinois is a '25 recruit, once shared his perspective with me. He said, "Ked, those Illinois fans are just different. They love their school, they will travel across the country to support them. I wanted my son to experience it." #Illini

What a freaking season from Harrison Butker this year:
▫️44-of-46 on all field goals (95.7%)
▫️15-of-15 on field goals of 40+ yards
▫️7-of-7 on field goals of 50+ yards
▫️46-of-46 on extra points
▫️2 field goals from 50+ yards in the Super Bowl
▫️the longest field goal in Super Bowl history (57 yards)

I hate to say this, but…
Brett Favre was traded by the Falcons and had 24 INTs to only 19TDs his 3rd year with the Packers
Aaron Rodgers was given 3 years on a bench to watch defenses
That Packers have arguably the best back to back QBs in NFL history but they were given the opportunity to make mistakes and develop
The #Bears have rotated QBs for years, NEVER giving them a chance to go through the ups and downs
Justin Fields hasn’t even played 2 full seasons worth of games (30) in the NFL and fans already asking for a new QB
Typical Bears fans

The Bears' 14th-consecutive loss is tied for the largest blown lead in franchise history.

Matt Eberflus has earned whatever happens to him in Chicago. He’s worked hard for his fate. I am disgusted. #Bears

3 minutes left
4th and short.
Tie game
Bears try to get Broncos to jump. They don’t
Call timeout
Go for it anyway instead of a 35 yard field goal
Dont get it
Give up a 47 yard pass
Then a field goal
Then lose
0-4
