The Bears: Older Than Your Grandpa’s Whiskey
So, you're wondering how long the Chicago Bears have been around, huh? Well, buckle up, because we're about to take a trip down memory lane that's longer than a Tom Brady career.
The Chicago Bears, or as we like to call them, the grizzled veterans of the gridiron, are one of those teams that make you question if they were around when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. And guess what? They might have been! Okay, maybe not dinosaurs, but they're definitely old.
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
Born in a Different Era
Founded in 1920, the Bears are one of the original teams in the National Football League (NFL). That’s right, they were there when the league was just a bunch of guys in leather helmets trying to figure out if they could forward pass without getting their heads caved in.
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
To put things in perspective, the Bears were around when the roaring twenties were roaring, the Great Depression was depressing, and people thought flappers were the bee’s knees. They've seen it all, folks.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.

A Century of Football
That means the Bears have been kicking field goals, throwing touchdowns, and generally being a nuisance to other teams for over a century. A CENTURY! Can you imagine a team being around that long? It's like the NFL's version of Methuselah.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
So, the next time you're watching a Bears game and wondering why they seem so, well, experienced, remember this: they've been doing this longer than most of us have been alive. They're like the wise old owl of the NFL, always watching, always knowing.
