Ben Johnson on his message in the locker room of "Fuck The Packers" to the team: "I don't like that team. George and I have talked and we're on the same page."







@FootballEJ @BrettKollmann I’ve been listening to you guys for a while, but it doesn’t look like either of you are from the Chicago area unless I’m missing something? What are your Bears’ origin stories?





Fanzine wise, thanks so much for the support this year. Podcast upturn is great +28% higher. Mag wise, we -10% down App, -15% Kindle, -15% Print and +10% PDF. That's not sustainable in long run so fingers crossed. Please if you say support the fanzines, please support us in 2026.

The outrage over tickets landing in ineligible hands last night is justified. While the club didn't issue them, the presence of club-affiliated personnel instantly raised the issue’s profile. The biggest insult? The club thought it was okay to post pictures of this on social media for "likes." This is peak disconnection. Loyal fans face strict sanctions, bans, and procedural breaches, while the club celebrates the very rules that match-goers circumvent. It proves there's one rule for social media optics and another for the actual fanbase.
