Hopefully, this will become a good place for us to share news and talk about the Bears.</p><p>I&#39;m sure by now you know the drill: the introductions thread is where we all make ourselves known for the first time. Looking forward to meeting you all...<br /> </p><p>My name is Craig. Grew up in Jersey City, NJ and now live in Harlem. I just finished an MA in Anthropology and all I&#39;m doing with it is working part-time as an editor and web developer. Go figure.</p><p>As far as sports go, football has always been the love of my life. I&#39;ve played it and watched it for as long as I can remember. I must have played football almost every day between the ages of 8 and 16. But I actually didn&#39;t grow up a Bears fan. My older brother was a Giants fan (I was surrounded by them in Jersey), and my knee-jerk reaction, of course, was to root for the 49ers. I wanted to be Jerry Rice. </p><p>Later in high school, and then through college, I had to step back from the game to focus on my studies. When I started paying attention again, 4 or 5 years later, needless to say it was a very different league. Rice was gone and I didn&#39;t feel much lingering attachment to the team I&#39;d grown up rooting for. In the meantime, the stint I&#39;d spent as a player (at FS, mostly) had sparked in me a love for play-making, hard-hitting defense. Naturally, then, in my first season back as a football fan, I fell in love with the Bears (I think it was during that miracle 2001 season). This was how I liked to see football played. Since then, I&#39;ve lived and breathed Chicago Bears football (made my first pilgrimage to Soldier Field in early 2006). And while I&#39;m not on the same level as all of you lifelong Bears fans (I salute you), I do love this team...</p><p>Anyway, a bit long-winded, but that&#39;s my story. What&#39;s yours? </p> http://ballhype.com/group/chicago_bears_fans/thread.34/#cid85 Mon, 2 Apr 2007 16:02:06 +0000
