From the Publisher:

So you think you you're a Chicago Bears superfan? The Bears fight song might be your ringtone year round, but did you know that that Papa Bear George Halas was an outstanding defensive end during his playing days? Or that ESPN selected the 1985 Bears as the greatest team in NFL history?

Bears Essential: Everything You Need to Know to Be a Real Fan! by David Claerbaut (Foreword by Dan Jiggetts) promises to give Bears fans everywhere a one-stop book that contains everything they would want to read about their favorite football team. Packed with anecdotes, history, explanations of traditions, statistics, trivia and photos, Bears Essential is the primary source for anyone wanting to be an expert on anything Bears.

Chicago fans have cheered Da Bears on for decades. The frigid temperatures (otherwise known as Bear weather) are all part of the draw of the team. That hard work ethic, fierce competitiveness and grind-it-out success is what being a Chicago Bear is all about.

Test yourself on your own Bears expertise. If you can't answer all of these questions without doing research, Bears Essential is a necessity for you:

*Why are the Bears colors Orange and Blue?
*Who held the career rushing record before Walter Payton?
*What season-turning event occurred in Game 12 of 1986 in Green Bay?
*Where did the Bears play their first season?
*What's Buddy Ryan's real first name?

No matter what era you began cheering for the Bears, Bears Essential has something for you. Whether your favorite Bear is Payton, Sayers, Singletary, Butkus or Ditka, you're guaranteed to learn something new and read stories - often hilarious, occasionally heart-breaking - that you haven't read before.
