WBEZ 91.5 Chicago

Twenty-five years ago today, I became a man.There was my Bar Mitzvah in the morning . . .

London’s Wembley Stadium is the home field for England’s national football team; but Sunday American football was the draw. The Chicago Bears met, and beat, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-18. The Bears' record improved to 4-3 as they headed home for a bye week.

The Chicago Bears are heading back to the U.S. with a victory. They beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 24-18, in a game played in London.Come the third quarter, the Bears had a comfortable 21-5 lead over Tampa. But the Buccaneers made a game of it in the second half for the Wembley Stadium crowd.

Theo Epstein is joining the Chicago Cubs as president of baseball operations.

With no basketball season, the Chicago Blackhawks have the United Center to themselves (until the circus comes to town). It's sort of takes us back to the glory days of Blackhawk hockey, when Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita ruled the West Side.

This is such a tired stat, but I think it sums up the Bears 3-3 start: The Bears have won three games against opponents with losing records (Atlanta 2-4, Carolina 0-6, Minnesota 1-5) and have lost three games against opponents with winning records (New Orleans 4-2, Green Bay 6-0, Detroit 5-1).

The Chicago Bears won big against the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field Sunday night.At halftime the Bears led 26 to 3, and the final score was equally comfortable: Bears 39, Vikings 10.Bears quarterback Jay Cutler threw for 267 yards and wide receiver Devin Hester ran back a 98-yard kickoff return
