I'm excited for the game, but it does feel a little different now that the Bears are in because I had been playing for the last month a doomsday scenario of the Bears winning 11 games and not getting in, but they are officially in.
PFT, I know you asked this on Sunday, but I found out the answer for you.
Luther Burden was the one who dubbed Caleb Williams the Iceman.
Okay.
All right.
So it was given in the locker room.
In-house.
Because it's a good nickname.
I didn't want to hate it, but I needed to find out.
Because if Caleb had started calling himself the Iceman, I would have had some questions about that.
But that's great that it came from his teammates.
Now, the last bear to be named the Iceman, because there was one previously, was Red Grange, but it was because he literally delivered ice as his job.
Which is so perfect.
He was the Wheaton Iceman, also the Galloping Ghost, which is what he's known more for.
He would deliver 75-pound blocks of ice to every home working every summer during his high school and college years.
So that was why he was the Iceman.
I love that.
That's a perfect old NFL story.
Yeah.
What did you do?
