ESPN.com - NFL - Full circle: Bears QB Grossman will start Sunday
A no-brainer, now official. … I believe I’m going to be able to watch the Bears the rest of the way, starting with a nationally-televised afternoon game on Christmas at Green Bay. The regular season finale at Minnesota is a little more uncertain, but [...]
Full circle: Bears QB Grossman will start Sunday
Rex-mas
I got my first football cards in 1976, the year after Walter Payton landed on the Chicago Bears. Through TV blackouts and snowy receptions, my dad and I followed the Bears as best we could.
