What’s your first memory as a Bears fan? (alien.top)

I do not have a particular one, but as a kid I thought Erik Kramer was the best QB in the league lol. I even had my parents buy me his jersey.

The browns game?? That was the game that cemented me as a bears fan, even though my whole family backed the pack. That 2001 team was an all timer

Yeah that's the same for me. We had friends in from out of town who were all Bears fans. Our parents went to the game together and the oldest daughter babysit us.

I don't think I really ever watched a Bears game up to that point since the 90s Bears were anemic and 2001 was the first year they were actually good. Also we had the dominant Bulls to watch and I was only 9 in 2001 so don't remember a whole lot before that.

But they were all laughing at us because the Browns were killing us. Then we won it in like 2 minutes of game time to end it. One of the kids was an asshole and gave me an atomic wedgie because my brother and I turned the tables and started ripping on them.

Good times. It's the reason I started to love the Bears and football.
