I haven't been a bears fan for very long. A friend of mine got me started liking them about 1998 when I went to her house to watch a game. They have been a favorite of mine since then.

Then recently I found a few old trading cards in a steamer trunk I owned (before it went to auction) that date back to the '50's and started reading about the history of the team and their cross-town rival, the Chicago Cardinals.

They have an interesting history!

~ born a Bear fan ~

Been a Bears fan forever and I was born in California and raised in Florida, don't know how it happend but it's the only way.  There is no better team to watch and their history is truly amazing. You should get the 2 disc DVD of the team history, really really good if you want to catch up on the old school things you probably didn't know about. http://www.nflshop.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2974249
