Today is Rex Grossman. Be smart, play smart and guide your team to the biggest game in any of their lives.
Today is Brian Urlacher. You're one of the greatest players this organization has ever had. Give yourself a chance to play for what Singletary has, what Butkus never did.
Today is Olin Kreutz. You spurned more money from Miami to stay here. Now give yourself a chance to go down there and show them why.
Today is Thomas Jones. You may not be Sayers or Payton or even Neal Anderson but today you can forever install yourself into the history of the most storied sports franchise in the universe.
Today is Cedric Benson. This team will be on your back the next five years. Start today.
Today is for Robbie Gould, Brad Maynard, Devin Hester. Be special.
Today is for the fans of the Chicago Bears. We've waited nearly 20 years for the chance to play in the final game and today it happens. We've worn our loyalty like a pair of ripped jeans and this afternoon that loyalty is rewarded. Bear down, Chicago Bears. Win. Win and bask in the glory of our praise for the next two weeks. Win and every Grossman interception, Tank arrest...becomes a memory.
Win. Today. Just win.
