Day 5 of the Chicago Bears is here … and it’s snowy.
Grab your party hats and some noisemakers! Today is a celebratory day. Why? Today is our eighth birthday. This site turns 8 today. Can you believe it? In recent years, birthdays have become a day for self-reflection and to share gratitude for another spin around the sun. With that being said, I wanted to take this moment at the top of BN Bears Bullets to thank you for reading, commenting, sharing, interacting, and being here. We have been through a lot as a site. And none of it would be possible without you, dear reader. So thanks. Go snag a sweet treat today. You deserve it. Thanks for being here. After watching Notre Dame beat Penn State to advance to the College Football Playoff final, I fully understand why Marcus Freeman was seen as a top target early in the Bears’ coaching search. In other years, the Fighting Irish would’ve folded after falling behind 10-0 to the Nittany Lions. Instead, Freeman has a team that is resilient and punches back when it gets knocked down.

However, I do not think he will fall to pick No. 10 where Chicago currently resides. Maybe he falls to No. 7, where the Bears would have been choosing had they not beaten the Packers. Let me be clear: I am not going to sit here and be mad about the Bears beating the Packers. But it would be a cruel twist of fate for Chicago’s football team to lose out on a game-changing pass rusher because of its Week 18 win in Green Bay. For what it’s worth: This mock draft from The Athletic has the Bears trading up with the Raiders so they could get Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter. Without knowing the full details of the trade, I think I’d sign off on that one without thinking too hard about it. There is still time to vote in this non-scientific poll:Would you rather have…

Over at Bleacher Nation, Brett explains what it means that the Chicago Cubs failed to reach an agreement with newly acquired outfielder Kyle Tucker to avoid arbitration. The Chicago Bulls need so much more from forward Patrick Williams, writes Elias Schuster. Williams collected a $90 million extension last offseason and hasn’t played like someone deserving of such a contract. What gives?
