Join Bears Over Beers co-host Jeff Berckes and lifelong Bears fan and historian Matt Winter as they work through the birth of the NFL.
The juggernaut NFL that we see today began in an automobile showroom floor in Canton, Ohio. In between, the Chicago Bears have had triumphs and failures, genius picks and fatal errors, and a cast of amazing characters (check out Jeff’s Championship Belt series!).
We kick things off in the 1920s with a cocktail recipe of the day and a recap of how the NFL grew in that decade. After a US History recap, we’ll meet some of the early Hall of Famers like Red Grange, George Trafton, and George Halas the Player/Coach!
