Hi everyone. I'm new here and from the Chitown Bears board. I like your board here a lot (love that Twitter feed on the left, in particular). Hope to have some good discussions with you folks here this season. My hope is that more of our forum comes here, and invite you folks to our board. Ours is a very very mellow bunch of guys. We left the "official" Chicago Bears message board years ago due to the trolls and immature jerks there. We just wanted to discuss football with knowledgeable people who know football - and who can keep from personal attacks. We now have that kind of place at the Chitown Bears board.
We sure appreciate Funky who has helped us with our forum over there, and for getting this affiliate llink going between you folks, the Vikings board and the Chitown board. Good stuff for sure.
Regarding my personal info, I've been a Bears fan for over 55 years now. I live in Central Illinois. My wife and I are heading up to the Bears training camp later this week. I used to take my son and his buddies each year to Bears camp from the time they were young boys. It was so much fun. But now they are all grown up and live all over the country... my wife and I are empty-nesters now. My wife is good to go with me now. She's become a good football buddy. Oh, I recently retired a few months ago. It sure feels good to be retired :-)
Thank you for letting me join your board. I appreciate it.

I am color blind and too lazy to look into such things, but I always thought the Bears' colors were black and red. Learn something new everyday. If you like sci-fi, check out The Expanse. It was on SYFY channel and is now on Amazon. Amazon currently has seasons 1-3 and season 4 will be out next year I think.
I asked God for a bike, but God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike, and asked God for forgiveness.

I am Lombardi the Admin from gbpackeraddicts.proboards.com We are brand new to the forum world but most of my members are from other well known boards. We are a very open minded bunch... yes we know Rodgers can be a whiny little mommas boy and yes we have some obnoxious fans that make you want to scream.
As for me I was born and raised in Central WI except a year and a half when we lived in Waseca MN (Go Jays!) otherwise all Wisco. My brother and sister in law live in Burnsville MN and are both Mankato state grads. I have lived all over the country but currently move between the SE US (X lives there) and KC as thats my employers base.The rest of my extended family lives In Chicagoland... mostly Park Ridge/ Hoffman Estates and the Lincolnwood/Niles area.
Hope to stop in now and again and talk some hard core FB, we have an open door policy at our board so no worries about jumping in and busting our chops. We are excited to be affiliated with all of you and look forward to the upcoming season.
