What they're saying in Chicago about the Bears
What they're saying in Chicago about the Bears
Some of y'all are from out of the area, so let me fill you in on a few of the comments from the local media in Chicagoland...
The Bears don't have much of a team, so the media here has instead been hyping the new stadium. On Monday, many of the local channels did special pre-game shows, and I happened to catch one of them with former Bear Steve Mc Michael, being interviewed by sportscaster Mark Giangreco, who together had done one of those Go Bears Go shows back in the day (I swear to God even the *kicker* had his own show back then).
Mc Michael: "Well, the Bears have a real drug problem as a team."
Giangreco: (Taken aback, although he knows what a loose cannon Mc Michael is) "What?"
Mc Michael: "I'm serious...the Bears have a real drug problem...in them first two games, they been getting drug up and down the field."

A local sportswriter in the Northwest Herald has repeatedly commented on Bears offensive coordinator John Shoop having installed a "prevent offense."

Regarding the bathrooms, all you heard on the TV was how beautiful the new place was, how they had double the bathroom facilities, yada yada yada. The old Soldier Field was so run down, there was a crack in the wall behind one of the restrooms, with a constant stream of men recycling their used beer. You had to know your way around the old place
Good Luck, everybody,
