Bears HC Ben Johnson to @ProFootballTalk when asked about the Green Bay Packers and HC Matt LaFleur:
“Who likes the Packers?” 😂
Absolutely love Ben Johnson. 🐻⬇️
Back before ESPN went to garbage, we had SportsCenter in its purest form.
No fluff, no filler, no viral debates. Just. Highlights.
Its why Millenials are the peak of ball knowledge. We’d get up early to rip this the hour before school and be READY.
A win would’ve been nice, but it was still the greatest night of my football life. It’s the moment that I will always remember when the real reason for football clicked in. Football isn’t just a game played with a ball on a field. It’s not just 3-D chess with men colliding. It’s human connection. It’s family genetics. It’s an allegiance passed from generation to generation. I witnessed my son standing in the same place that I stand, screaming at a black square with color pixels for an orange and blue team as if somehow his cries could affect the outcome of the game. Last night was the night that I knew I had done my real job as a Bears fan. I pass the game to the next generation. I shared a forever loyalty. He is fully on his way on a life time journey or highs and lows, love and loss, passion and grit, strategy and might, joy and disappointment. And when the day comes where my son and I are at an impasse. We can always talk about the Bears.
