Winner

(Exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you for not disappointing me )

The Bears can now say that they won every game this year . . . and the Packers have lost every game this year. HA. Gotta look on the bright side. Seriously though, that game was very dramatic how the Bears were ahead for most of the game only for that ugly green team to come out to lead with a minute left and then the Bears end it with a 51 yard field goal at the last second to win the game. So glad they won. At least they end on a good note and something to reflect back on.

I hope your drivers will have a great season!

Let me guess...it's not the Bears. HA. The Bears get to go hibernate after Sunday's game. HA.

Ugh. That must seem like forever. That's like my wait for my Cubs baseball season to start. Maybe it's time you jump over to NASCAR. Chase Elliott is a good driver . . . hint, hint. LOL I bet it would be easy to pick up. But this Chicago Bears fan have a hard time following anything green. It just brings out a bad taste. LOL

If I do, it's only because I am too lazy to get to bed. I've never gotten too big on the New Years. 2025 will mark a quarter into the "new" century . . . wasn't the whole Y2K only last year? LOL

I would, but I don't know if my poor heart can take any more bad luck seasons than I already do with my Bears and Cubs. Everyone I follow tends to do poorly and breaks my heart even worse. If I wasn't a Chase Elliott fan, he'd probably have won the last three championships... (Sorry Chase...but I did help you win the most popular driver award again. ) Plus, I'm too old to learn any new sport. It took me forever to understand football and I still don't understand all of it. I understand it enough to know my Bears will most likely earn a great draft pick yet again next season. HA. One more game left of the season . . . would be great if they could end this year with a win. Though with their season done, I have no one to follow until Daytona. January is going to last forever! (As always. January is by far my worst month...as is February. The only good thing with February is NASCAR and Daytona!)

Thank you Spike for a great update. I don't have much news...other than there is Jimmie Johnson / Alex Bowman number of days until Daytona 500! In other words, 48 looooonnnnnnggggggg days. Ugh.

Thank you, Roger. Yeah the Bears have had a rough season. I hope that your Steelers will prove you wrong and will win for you. That's exciting that they have made it this far! I'm sure Santa will be understanding for you talking football on a NASCAR thread... Though I am beyond ready for NASCAR to be here, already!

Chicago

Mess

Thank you, Cousin Roger. I am sorry that I just took off like I did. I was just needing some space and time away. But, I am back. I missed you all. (Though I did stop by to check in on y'all from time to time. Just wasn't signed in.) With that said...fifty-six long days until the Daytona 500! My Chicago Bears are in hibernation mode this season, so I am really going through my withdrawals this year. Countdown to The Daytona 500 | Days Until The Daytona 500

Chicago Bears!!!!

Well sadly I have fallen into the same rut as I was in last year and haven't watched a race yet this year, though have followed it on my phone. They raced at the Charolette Roval yesterday where it looks like Kyle Larson dominated it or led a lot and ended up winning the race. Kyle Larson's team mate, Alex Bowman failed post race inspection which has gotten him disqualified from the final 8 round of the standings of the Chase. Hendrick has declined fighting the punishment, so Bowman is now out of the Chase for this year. With that said, the final eight of the Chase has been sealed moving forward. (For my two cents worth. I am sad to see Bowman disqualified, but am glad to see that Chase Elliott made it into the final 8 in seventh place. Now he needs to win... ) Anyway, here are a few links from NASCAR.com.
