I'm excited. I know people will grouse about "distractions" but in this day and age I just don't see a big deal.

The Bears organization should welcome this as well. There's a whole generation of fans who have no clue about the rich history of the franchise. They should use this as an opportunity to educate people on it.

And the Bears have had a resurgence (in a positive way

) with the hoopla this year already with the Bears drafting Caleb and Rome. You're right, it is an opportunity to showcase a franchise coming back into relevance.

I believe the Bears have had the most amount of coverage in this draft cycle. Caleb Williams seems to be a darling of most if not all the coverage. Personally, I would be surprised if we weren't on Hard Knocks

100 percent agree. I'm reading "When Pride Still Mattered". They get into how Halas saved the Packers. Also talked about how Nitschke and Ditka ran into each other at a Milwaukee restaurant and had to be separated as a fight almost broke out. I also didn't know Mr Packer Ray Nitschke grew up in Chicago! Good to know the history of both teams.
