    It was 70 years ago today

    December 8. 1940 the Chicago Bears made history. They set a record which still stands to this very day. What is the record you ask?

    The highest score by any single team was set by the Chicago Bears over the Washington Redskins on December 8, 1940, at 73 points. Not only was it the highest score ever in a professional football game, they won by the most points in history as well.

    The Bears won 73-0

    What amazes me just as much as the score of that game is that the Championship game in 1940 was played on December 8th

    This years Super Bowl is to be played on February 6th

    Both are quite ridiculous

    There were also only 12 games instead of 16, and A lot less teams.

    If I remember correctly, the Bears lost to the Redskins (only one of the year) like 6-9 or something like that during the regular season. Sammy Baugh was the Skins "unstoppable" QB.


    Prior to moving to Washington DC, the team was called the Boston Braves.


    Perhaps history could repeat itself on Sunday????

    Brett Favre is your hero, 4th, and you know it. Between you and me, he said that you co-invented the concept behind the "no fly" jeans that Wrangler recently started advertising.
