DA BEARS!!!! Since I was 9 baby!!!

I predict Hester will run it back in the first game.

2nd Oldest team in the league, born 1921 (Cardinals 1898)
2nd most championships (GB has 12, CHI 9)
Most seasons leading league in TD's (13)
Most seasons leading league in gained yards (12)
Most seasons leading league in rushing (16)
Most games won in a season (4way tie, SanFran, Minn, Pitts)
2nd most connsecutive games won (New England first by 1)

I could go on but see for yourself at the greatness of Bear's legacy at:

Go to any team records section and Bears will be at the top or very close to it. Yes even in fumbles.

"The Bears won their first title the next season (1921) with a 9-1-1 mark..."
