Though I like the sound of the full "Chicago Bears American Football Club", from a quick Google check it seems this name only exists on Wikipedia and mirrors. If no one has any evidence to the contrary, I'll change this pretty soon. It's too bad though, I wish more American teams had official names like that. Xyzzyva 09:03, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monday Night Miracle

For NFL Lore, that nickname seems a bit too commonplace. A similar nickname could be applied to the Cowboys-Bills game this year. Or, here's an already pre-existing Monday Night Miracle. For a Chicago standpoint, the 2006 Bears-Cardinals game can be referred as the Arizona Game. KyuuA4 (talk) 04:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you, especially since there is already an article named "Monday Night Miracle". I've heard various names for the game though, including the "The Miracle in the Desert" (from Fox Chicago). Or however, it could be called "Crown Em'" or They Are Who We Thought They Were!". I'll see if I could find some official sources that give it a specific name. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 20:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Important Figures

What makes a player 'noteworthy' to be mentioned in the 'Important Figures' section of this template. The sections seemingly contains the name of every first round draft pick the team has drafted within the past quarter century - regardless if they made a positive impact or not - or recent first round picks who have yet actually establish themselves as important in Bears' lore (ex Greg Olsen). Nothing against Olsen, but how can one put him in a section where he is compared to Mike Singletary, Ditka, Papa Bear, and William Perry? Even Doug Flutie is on there and he only played 2 meaningless years for the Bears. :p This section needs revision--  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  15:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
