@FB_Helmet_Guy Created for Bill Buckner after numerous ankle/achilles problems

Check out Jack Lambert's high tops. They remind me of boxing shoes.

@WyattzWorId 1:30-4:59! 5:00PM and later is supper time. This was agreed upon in late summer!

When is dinner time?

@AlbertBreer I can only come up with Ken Stabler/David Humm and Boomer Esiason/Erik Wilhelm.

Last time a team had two southpaws atop the QB depth chart?

@WyattzWorId Probably made you eat supper in your bedroom too.

How my mom would react if I missed the school bus

@Super70sSports Dennis Eckersley hitting a home run at Wrigley Field.

What’s the best sports moment you witnessed in person?

@LosassoPhil @courtney883 Ye of little faith.

@courtney883 Total embarrassment

Bears defense should flat out be ashamed. This was always going to be their Achilles heel, but for these Packers to be wide open every time is ridiculous.

@WyattzWorId Could be genetic. I’ve got the same condition.

I’m right handed in every sport besides Hockey, I don’t get it

@Patrick_Reusse At age 55 it’s the damndest thing I’ve ever seen. The only thing I can compare it to is Tyson vs Buster Douglas.

I reposted this column before reading it, being an admirer of the author. Just read it now at the can’t sleep, prowling around hour. It’s terrific.

@BradBiggs Maybe Kenny Margerum is free that week.

Seems like the #Bears could respond the next time they play San Francisco at Soldier Field by rolling out R.W. McQuarters as an 'Honorary Game Captain.'

The #49ers have a familiar 'Honorary Game Captain' for this evening's tussle.

@TheRealCarlG Much like the snapping turtle/duckling fiasco of years gone by, there’s nothing you can do about it.

Our family has made the difficult decision to cancel our family Christmas celebration. Nobody is in the mood and we agree that rather than pretend to be happy we will all do whatever we need to do to help our team succeed in subsequent weeks and we urge everyone to do the same.

@WyattzWorId I prefer mutton

Ground beef is a sleeper choice for the best meat out there.

@FB_Helmet_Guy Antoine Winfield Jr.’s father.

Who am I?

@FB_Helmet_Guy Elvis Grbac? The only rookie QB to ever throw a pass in the Super Bowl.

Can you name this Chiefs player who was a QB and wore #15?

Who is the greatest athlete you’ve seen play in person in their prime? I’ll start:

@TheRealCarlG C. Bears 6-3 D. Lions 6-3 Tampa 6-3 Green Packer 5-3-1 Losers 4-5

It was a good effort. We’ll be fine. Get healthy and come back. At least we aren’t an embarrassing LAST PLACE TEAM with terrible fans.

@TheRealCarlG Second oldest rivalry in the NFL. Chicago Cardinals vs Green Bay.

It’s time for the real football teams to start playing. #WARRIORS

@KevG163 One of the great moments of my life. It was at this moment, I knew the Bears would beat both previous year’s Super Bowl teams and eventually win one themselves.

Early in the second quarter of the 1984 NFC Divisional with the #Bears trailing the #Redskins 3-0, safety Todd Bell lowered the BOOM on Joe Washington — forcing a fumble that changed the entire tenor of the game. #DaBears prevailed, 23-19 — their first postseason win in 21 years

@KevG163 Always baffled that a bunch of QBs and WRs didn’t even wear chinstraps. At what point was that badge of honor worth it?

The #NFL, 53 years ago today A sport much different than today. Head shots, clothesline tackles, horse collars, unprotected quarterbacks, baseball infield dirt, concrete-like AstroTurf, punches thrown, wooden storm fences near the field, late hits out-of-bounds October 8, 1972

What was your very first favorite prime time television show? I’ll start:

@PatKessler @usbankstadium Try not to beat up any Carthaginians or Gauls while you're there.

The 2000 year old Roman Colosseum is bigger than ⁦@usbankstadium⁩, at two football fields long. It had a seating capacity of 78,000, and scientists say spectators could exit the facility in 22 minutes, faster than any modern football stadium in the world. ⁦
