The Bears have done it by virtue of the Packers not doing it. It is over. The North has been won. It has been conquered. It took a little bit and it took a second head

coach to get here. But Ben Johnson has done enough with this team and the Packers have let

it go. Losing to the Ravens, the Bears are your NFC North champions. This is an emergency

podcast. A CHGO Bears. What's up, boys? How about it? I mean,

who would have thought all these things would fall our way from last Saturdays win over Green Bay,

then to the Steelers and Lions game and then the Lions and Vikings game and now here the Packers

and Ravens. It's when you talk about Team of Destiny and your Chicago Bears, it just feels

like everything has fallen their way this season. They have earned quite a bit, but the football

gods have been smiling down on us all season long.

And we are very appreciative of that.

You know, Hogue, there's so many things going through my mind right now,

including the big money super chat, courtesy of Toyota, let's go places from Crystal to start

You know, it was three years ago, Christmas night, me and good old, Jaqueline met for the first time.

And tonight we're having our anniversary dinner. Went back to the wooden nickel.

Outstanding dive bar in Highwood. might have had a couple of cocktails, perhaps

not completely, you know, lucid right now. But, but happy to be here nonetheless. And, you know,

I can recall back a couple of weeks ago and being yelled at by my good friend Greg Braggs,

who I thought about this weekend too many times because

I love him so and screamed at that 11 wins wasn't going to do it. And now 11 wins happen to be

good enough to win the NFC North. And the Bears are basically on cruise control here with the

two seed. I know that Philly, if they lose out, if Philly wins out and all that, it could slip to the three. But bring that one on. I'm totally fine with playing Carolina in round two. That'd be sweet. So it's, it's an unbelievable for the, unbelievable thing for the bears right now to really be in the catbird seat with a chance to be the one seat and get a buy. See you later. Green Bay. See you later, Detroit. Champions of the NFN
