The Chicago Bears are many things: one of the charter members of the NFL; the winningest team in NFL history; owner of nine league championships; and home to 26 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees, including legends such as George Halas, Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers, and Walter Payton. But the Chicago Bears have always been one thing above all else: a family business. Throughout their nearly 90 years of existence, the Monsters of the Midway have been owned and operated by the Halas and McCaskey families. Bear With Me, written by Papa Bear"s grandson Patrick McCaskey, invites readers inside their private world and gives fans a unique perspective on the history of the Bears and the family that lives and dies with every game. From childhood days spent bouncing on his grandfather"s knee to his current role as the team"s senior director of special projects, Patrick McCaskey has lived and breathed Bears football his entire life. Bear With Me features a lifetime"s worth of his personal reflections, including his grandfather"s days as the team"s coach and owner; receiving coaching tips from quarterback Bill Wade; finding himself on the receiving end of Walter Payton"s practical jokes; and how owning the Bears has been a blessing for him, his parents, his siblings, and his own children. The Halases and McCaskeys have always focused on faith, family, and football. Featuring amusing anecdotes, poignant remembrances, and never-before-seen family photographs, Bear With Me is a one-of-a-kind trip into the world of the Chicago Bears from a man who has lived there since the day he was born.
