All You Ever Wanted to Know About Da Bears-- Part 1: Monsters of the Midway

From  the September 5, 2014, Chicago Tribune "Faker's Guide to the Chicago Bears" by Steve Rosenbloom and Drew Litton.

Despite the less than less stellar efforts put up by our guys the last two weeks, we still "be" Bears fans.  Here's some stuff you may or may not have known 'bout Da Bears.

1.  'MONSTERS OF THE MIDWAY"--  The team picked up the former University of Chicago moniker in the 1940s when quarterback Sid Luckman set all kinds of team passing records that stood for decades while he led the Bears to four victories in five title games.

2.  73-0--  During the 1940 regular season, the Redskins defeated the Bears 7-3, after which redskins owner George Preston Marshall called the Bears crybabies and quitters.

Before the championship game in Washington, George Halas showed his team the comments.  They score 28 points in the first half and 45 in the second for the greatest margin of victory in NFL history.
