April 26, 2012 – Bears surprise many by drafting DE Shea McClellin out of Boise State. Many project him as a 3-4 OLB, with some predicting the Packers would have drafted him just behind the Bears.
April 27, 2012 – Bears trade up to select wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. They also grab safety Bradon Hardin (remember him?) in the third round.
April 28, 2012 – there was a third day to the draft. It was pretty uneventful for the Bears.
May 3, 2012 – Jay Cutler went for a walk.
May 13, 2012 – the Bears held their rookie minicamp.
May 24, 2012 – I write about how I think the Bears gave Jay Cutler too much power. Was I on to something?
June 28, 2012 – June was a slow month, but Urlacher and Briggs think it’s Super Bowl or Bust for the Bears.
July 16, 2012 – Matt Forte and the Bears agree to a 4-year $32 million deal.

Hello fellow Bears fans!!! Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Mike Burzawa, but those closest to me know me as Boomer. It’s a nickname that I’ve had for many, many years (long before I ever heard of that guy on ESPN) and I thought I’d post under that alias. I’m the new lead blogger for Bear Goggles On (I can’t take credit for the name), where I’ll be sharing my views and perspectives on the team we all love.
I’m a lifelong Chicagoan and a die hard fan of Da Bears. I’ve been around for the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I mean, what was your favorite moment of the Cade McNown era??? The end, if you ask me!!! I have been going on an annual trip to an away Bears game for the last 13 years, so I’ve seen many different sports cities and I’m here to tell you that Chicago fans are second to none!!! As the greatest fans in the NFL, we deserve the greatest blog. I’ll do my best, but I’ll need your help.
I plan to share my take on the team and give a true fan’s perspective. Every once in a while, I’ll put the “Bear” goggles on and sip the Orange and Blue Kool Aide, but I’ll also “Lower the Boom” when I think it’s called for.
Most of all, I want to have some fun and the best way to do that is through your participation, so please feel free to comment, e-mail and share this site with other Bears fans.
