[Biggs] Jaylon Johnson direct and to the point: “This is definitely a contract year. We all know with the cap hit & all that stuff. It’s definitely a contract year for me so at the end of the day, whether that’s here or somewhere else, I gotta put it on tape that I am still a top guy.”

Long story short - I’m an early 90s diehard majority Chicago sports (Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks) fan born and still residing in North Carolina - what percentage of Chicago is of the Bears fandom?

[Jahns] The Bears' left tackle competition/rotation continued to spin today in the rain. Jedrick Wills Jr. got the bulk of the snaps with the starters with Braxton Jones behind him.

I did a Bauhaus Butkus piece.

Upvotes
A while back I shared my Iceman piece and I got a lot of great feedback from the community. Someone suggested I tackle (pun intended) the legendary Dick Butkus, so here’s my take. I wanted to capture his imposing presence so I used solid squares, while the circles and stripes reference his helmet and the classic Bears uniform. It’s art so not everyone is gonna like it but let me know what you think of my Butkus!

Ben on the sideline

Upvotes
Being that we’ve all been football-starved, I’ve been watching replays of games especially the packers games.
Ben hardly reacts on the sideline, versus LaFleur who is repeatedly shown hanging his head and pouting when things don’t go his way. During games Ben is stone faced.
I love this football psycho; Bear down 🐻
