Pretty cool football history here.

“The Bears have been the NFL’s winningest franchise since before the team was called the Bears and before the league was called the NFL: In 1920 and 1921, when what is now the NFL was called the American Professional Football Association, the franchise that is now the Bears and was then called the Staleys won the most games, and that team has remained the NFL’s all-time winningest franchise for a century since then.”

“That can change tonight.”

The Bears and Packers currently each have 786 wins in franchise history, which means if the Packers beat the Titans tonight they’ll be at 787 wins, one ahead of the Bears.”

“The Packers entered the league just a year after the Bears did and had plenty of success in their early years, but the Bears had plenty of success too, and the Packers weren’t able to gain significant ground on the Bears in the franchise win total until the arrival of Brett Favre, and then Aaron Rodgers: Since Favre arrived in Green Bay in 1992, the Packers have won 85 more games than the Bears. Three decades of first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterbacks are good for a franchise’s win total.”

With a win tonight, Packers would overtake Bears as NFL’s all-time winningest franchise

The Bears have been the NFL’s winningest franchise since before the team was called the Bears and before the league was called the NFL: In 1920 and 1921, when what is now the NFL was called the American Professional Football Association, the franchise that is now the Bears and was then called the…

Saturday had them practicing outdoors this week a couple times despite playing at home this weekend.

WTH is happening to these players getting injured in practice? I'm assuming it's practice since I didn't see them get hurt in last week's game.

Woods was injured in the New England game. He was inactive against Los Vegas last week also.

“If Wentz plays at least 70 percent of the Commanders’ offensive snaps this season, the Commanders have to send a second-round draft pick to the Colts. If Wentz plays less than 70 percent of snaps, the Commanders send the Colts a third-round pick.”

“Sunday’s game will be the fifth that Wentz has missed, and five games is 29 percent of a 17-game season. So if Wentz were to return to the starting lineup after Sunday’s game, Wentz would likely finish with just over 70 percent of the snaps, and the Commanders would have to send the Colts a second-round pick.”

“If Heinicke starts just once more beyond Sunday, that should push Wentz under the 70 percent threshold, and the Commanders would only have to give the Colts a third-round pick.”

“It’s possible that none of this will matter, as Wentz may not get cleared to return from his broken finger next week.”

What's the rest of the story here?

He made $13.7K on Colts rings that reminded him of being fired by team. Was it worth it?

"Final Colts chapter in my life closed," said Mike Jansen who was fired as the team's stadium announcer in September after nearly 25 years.

That ship has sailed. It’ll be a 3rd rounder for sure. I think the whole Wentz fiasco was what ultimately sunk Reich.
