Diehard Bears Fan? Here's How to Catch the Game (Even if You're Stuck in Siberia)
So, you're a Chicago Bears fan, bleedin' navy and orange, with a heart that gallops like a frightened Ditka at the sound of a fumble. But here's the rub: you're somehow stranded in a situation that would make even Mike Ditka himself say, "This is absurd!" Maybe you're on a business trip to Siberia (because, let's face it, who goes to Siberia for fun?), or maybe your significant other has dragged you to a yoga retreat that involves something called "breatharianism" (whatever that is). Fear not, fellow Bear Downer! There's a way to catch the game (and avoid silent meditation while everyone chants "om").
Option 1: Embrace Your Inner Radio Geek (Because We All Have One)
There's something beautiful about the crackle of a radio broadcast. It's like being wrapped in a warm blanket of Jeff Joniak's dulcet tones describing yet another Justin Fields scramble. Here are your radio options:
- WBBM Newsradio 780 & 105.9 FM: The official Bears broadcast team, Jeff Joniak and Tom Thayer, will bring the game to life (and hopefully not make you miss those complimentary yoga snacks too much).
- Windy City Gridiron on TuneIn: For a more "fan-in-the-stands" experience, check out Windy City Gridiron's radio broadcast on TuneIn.
Option 2: Phone a Friend (But Not During Crucial Plays)
Let's be honest, sometimes you just need to hear your buddy Steve yell, "TOUCHDOWN!" into the phone. Just be mindful of those crucial third downs, Steve. Silence is golden (unless it's followed by a glorious interception).
Option 3: The App-tastic Approach
The Chicago Bears have a snazzy app (shocking, right?) that might (might) let you listen to the game live (depending on your location and mysterious forces beyond our control). Check it out and pray to the Football Gods for a strong signal.
Bonus Tip: Become a Whisperer of the Internet
There's a whole world of internet trickery out there (ahem, legal streams, ahem), but tread carefully, young grasshopper. We don't want you getting flagged for a penalty by the NFL Thought Police.
Remember: No matter where you are or what bizarre situation you find yourself in, there's always a way to hear the Chicago Bears game. So fire up that radio, grab your phone (on silent!), or delve into the app abyss. Just remember, even if you're surrounded by yaks in Siberia, you can still Bear Down!
