Why did they name them Bears? AFAIK, there are no Bears in Chicago.

You should ask the Chicago Cubs
``You should ask the Chicago Cubs
Chicago Bears-When this team became a charter member of the American Professional Football Association (APFA) in 1920, the team was located in Decatur, IL, and was named after team sponsor, the Staley Starch Company. The team moved to Chicago in 1921 and became the Chicago Staleys. In 1922, after team founder-manager and star end George Halas purchased the team, he changed the name to the Bears. Halas reasoned that because football players were generally bigger than baseball players, and the city’s baseball team was the Cubs, then logically the football team should be the Bears.
Interesting.

Hey you guys lost AGAIN. What that 0-3 now?
Brady wins 30 to 7 in game 3 making us 2-1.
But we still have zero faith in Tom Brady. We aren't getting our hopes up. We are expecting a losing season this year.

You know preseason doesn't matter.
Saints are the best team in the NFL right now.

Tough Luck @WebMaster last night (Pun intended). Denver played well but Indy stormed back. That completion on 4th down could have been clutch. Good game!
Reggie is getting old, Luck needs to look some where else now.
Great game though, could have been better.
