Wait, somewhere in your home you have FIVE George Mitterwalds? I’ll trade you a Steve Swisher and a Tim Blackwell for just one of “The Baron.”
25 Days of Christmas - Day #6

From 1982 to 1986, I think I got some version of the Sears “Card Collecting Kit” every Christmas.

And I'm pretty sure each of them had a 1975 George Mitterwald card

Al Harris had a profound impact on the #Bears many years ago, more than most even know.

Now, the secondary coach leads a unit feasting on takeaways.

Column: Al Harris has made an impact on the Chicago Bears for years — and wherever he goes, takeaways follow
Takeaways follow Al Harris wherever he goes, as a player or coach. The Chicago Bears considered it a coup when they hired him as defensive backs coach for Ben Johnson’s staff.

I’ve really enjoyed following you here, Claudia. Enjoy both of your special days!
Then, one day - when I was good and middle aged - I had a revelation about how fortunate I am to have so many people be so kind as to remember my birthday.

Now? I look at it as a Bonus Birthday, and I feel lucky to have one. The provenance of it is less important than the people who love me.

Yes, indeed that was former Marquette and Michigan State player Joey Hauser.

What is he up to now?

Some sort of football oracle?

At 0-2, Ben Johnson predicted the #Bears would be playing their best football in December.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

#Seahawks can become 9-3 as well with a win over #Vikings this afternoon. Bears would be ahead of Seattle as well.

I’m thankful for the Chicago Cubs and their collective propensity to get at least one base hit per game. May it continue for another 6,335 games, at minimum. 💙⚾️
