Sunday morning at the Chicago Bears' 100th Anniversary Celebration reminded me very much of Monday mornings after the Super Bowl. The diehards were still there, though, and their loyalty was rewarded by a truly special appearance by Virginia McCaskey, followed by a 45-minute panel featuring Ryan Pace, Matt Nagy and Ted Phillips. Much is made of the “Red Grange Tour” in 1925, historically reported as the event that saved the NFL from dying an early death, and it is often said Virginia McCaskey was there. “I want Mrs. McCaskey in the middle of that at the end of the year for the big one (the Super Bowl)!" Few endeavors are more fickle than professional sports, and of course many insist NFL stands for "not for long."
