"Becoming Ben" from Sunday NFL Countdown Bears Coach Ben Johnson’s offensive mind was developing long before he ever reached the NFL. Here's the story of how Johnson began drawing his own plays at 10 years old and the path that it put him on to becoming one of the league's preeminent playcallers. @ESPNNFL

It's shortly before 5 a.m. and the Chicago Bears offices are dark. And then Ben Johnson walks in, and there is light. My story on a coach who is making a great city shine a little more brightly. nytimes.com/athletic/7503680…

Behind the scenes for a day with Bears coach Ben Johnson (Gift Article)

He doesn't just want a Super Bowl. He wants to leave no doubt. "I want shutouts. I want blowouts. I want the highest-scoring offense ever."

“You wake up in Chicago, pull back the curtain, and you KNOW where you are. You could be nowhere else. You are in a big, brash, muscular, broad shouldered motherfuckin’ city. A metropolis, completely non-neurotic, ever-moving, big hearted but cold blooded machine with millions of moving parts — a beast that will, if disrespected or not taken seriously, roll over you without remorse. It is, also, as I like to point out frequently, one of America’s last great NO BULLSHIT zones. Pomposity, pretentiousness, putting on airs of any kind, douchery and lack of a sense of humor will not get you far in Chicago. It is a trait shared with Glasgow — another city I love with a similar working class ethos and history.Chicago is a town, a city that doesn’t ever have to measure itself against any other city. Other places have to measure themselves against it. It’s big, it’s outgoing, it’s tough, it’s opinionated, and everybody’s got a story." - Anthony Bourdain. #ChicagoHistory 👈
