Bears Packers Championship 2011 & Caleb Hanie

River North, Chicago, Illinois

While the result of the Bears Packers game may have been disappointing for loyal Bears fan, the atmosphere during the game was a mix of frustration and hopeful jubilation at Mother Hubbard's Sports Pub. Ultimately, Chicago fans can hold their head high as Caleb Hanie, our third string QB, showed tremendous heart (and a substantial amount of other anatomical parts) by knocking the potential Superbowl champs back on their heels during the second half.

Caleb, Ya done good!
