This first video makes me cry. This is my favorite team of all time. But more critically my favorite human being was on this team. Not just a great running back but one of the most influential human beings to ever play football. The man of the year award was named for Sweetness (the nickname of my hero Walter Payton).

Being that our soccer and US Football poll giver lives near the greatest sports city on earth. Chicago Illinois (also the origin of DOC, so please say thank you to Chicago!)
As a child, i have so many memories of Chicago. Later i worked in Downtown Chicago for three years. my happiest memories of that city are Cubs Games, walking around downtown and…

The John Shedd Aquarium. The Field Museum (named for Marshall Field, founder of the Marshall Field department store) and The Museum of Science and Industry.
I was born on the North Side of Chicago. My parents lived in Skokie a Suburb of Chicago when I was born. We moved to a western Suburb, Vernon Hills when I was about three and my sister had joined us. My memories of Chicago run deep.
In 1975 i watched a rookie in the first Bears game return kicks. I told my grandfather that player was going to be the best bear ever. Walter Payton was, is and always will be my favorite player. He could and did do more as a human being than he ever did as an athlete. And he did so much as an athlete!

Chicago must be a great city. They say Chicago and New York are the more European cities in The United States. Michael Jordan made Chicago to be very famous worldwide. And it is called “The Windy City” I would love to visit it… In Summer
we would argue that many European cities are like Chicago and New York (:-) kidding)!
yes Chicago is amazing, i would visit in the spring or fall, Winter can be bad and summer and be really hot!
The monster strikes again. Did I get a number? My mind forgets lately.
you did I think, you are on today’s bank will confirm in a little bit!
Sounds good, I thought I was left out.
nope you picked number 2, i think i shared it a day ago, but i may not have.
One of my obligations as a European is from time to time to tell American people that football is the game where a ball gets kicked by feet, and the game where an ovoid is thrown by hands is called handegg. I don’t really care about sports, it’s just a duty I have. 😁
and you wonder why we kicked the Europeans out of America 🙂
if you expect us to name things correctly don’t have two names for your sports! (football and soccer)!
Ha, I love this conversation. 🙂 🙂 🙂
we’ve been having a long argument about parrots as well!
No one likes those who use the term “soccer”. They are worse than people who dislike chocolate or kittens.
wait there are people that dislike Chocolate? that seems unnatural to me.
Shocking, right? I know a few but we are not friends.
So as a Soccer fan that loves Chocolate and Kitties how do I rank?
Calling it “soccer” negates all your good qualities, unfortunately.
another reason why we kicked all the Europeans out of America!
My big wish is to visit a similar aquarium. Unfortunately, I do not have this option in our country.
There are a few in Europe but in the larger countries mostly
When the condition with the virus calms down, I may visit some country with an aquarium.
i was trying to remember the one I visited in Europe that I thought was amazing. I will see if I can find the pictures and share them!
Thank you very much. But that you won’t spend too much time searching. I don’t want to burden you.
i just have to remember what trip it was, and finding it will be easy. i won’t spend a lot of time but would like to see them myself now!
Thank you so much again.
That is why I rarely go to large cities.
Chicago is a piece of me, but I grew up in the country.
Of course, I pick the number in the collection with a blurry picture.
or you picked pictures from a blurry photographer!
Oh No (pun intended)
the poll monster go time for the 4th straight day.
although, the first one only had yes as an option 🙂
It would appear that the only answers I can give is yes – so I will mark them yes. I know very little about Chicago and I am terrified to ever visit the city. Somehow I know I would end up in trouble.
It’s just like any other city. In every large city, there are certain neighborhoods that need to be avoided.
that is very true – but a story for another day!
sadly when speaking of chicago being great yes is the only answer!
