As the Chicago Bears prepare to battle the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs Saturday, the passion for the team’s leader continues to build.
Just ask the 25 people who competed in a Coach Ben Johnson look-alike contest for a $1,000 Visa gift card Thursday evening at the Wintrust Sports Complex. Hosted by the Village of Bedford Park, the event welcomed contestants ranging from adults to pint-sized participants who mostly wore headsets, baseball caps and orange and blue sweatshirts. Cradling their makeshift playbooks, they led the audience in “good, better, best” chants, screamed “hell yeah” or crossed their arms.
