So, who gets your Bear of the Year award for 2025?
That kicked things off in this week’s “Polling Place,” your home for Sun-Times sports polls on the social platform X.
“Got to go with Caleb,” @RonaldVoigt4 commented. “He’s the one who threw it 60 yards in the air [to beat the Packers].”
Then again, how about the architect of the team, general manager Ryan Poles?
“I vote for Ryan,” @ronw_sportsnut wrote, “because he’s the one that went out and hired Ben Johnson and drafted Williams.”
But what — Johnson, the first-year coach, ran away with the vote, and not just because he ripped off his shirt to fill Bears fans’ bellies.
