Season Ender

It was the best of times and the worst of times. The Bears had a great season. Almost every week they seemed to get better and have more fun. Today the season ended with a loss to our nemesis - the Green Bay Packers. The Packers will take on the Steelers February 6 at Cowboys Stadium. Congratulations to the Packers and Steelers.

The last chance to watch some of our Bears play will be next Sunday. Devin Hester, Lance Briggs, Julius Peppers and Brian Urlacher will head for Hawaii to play in the 2011 Pro Bowl. What menu do you think is appropriate for a Pro Bowl game?
