In 2009, Blog Down added senior writer Matt Phillip to its arsenal, and then not long afterward, long-time commenter Sean Sullivan and former Windy City Gridiron editor Gavin Tugana joined ranks as writers, respectively.

As of February 2010, the site has been linked to by such popular Web sites as Sports Illustrated, Deadspin, The Big Lead, Sports By Brooks, and Busted Coverage to name a few, and has reached over 120,000 unique visitors and growing.

    heh nice t in your profile pic. And congrats on your upcoming graduation. I have a vintage 1985 Refrigerator Perry t –w a pic of a fridge wearing bears jersey– is so threadbare I can’t wear it anymore. hee

    “omeone who at times annoys his girlfriend, bothers his mother, and bores his co-workers with his sleep-eat-drink Chicago Bears mentality.”

    Insert USC Trojans for Chi Bears and that’s me too. Even tho am a born and bred Bears fan, USC trumps all for me

    I’m a Bronco fan but this may be one of the best done sites I have seen in my entire life. Congratulations with the success! By the way, I added you to my blogroll.

    Thanks for the props, Garrett. But you need to check out more sites if this is one of the best you’ve seen. Haha. Bronco Madness is well done, too.

    I frequently send fun odds/props to a variety of writers and
    websites/blogs throughout the year that are football based…Normal
    odds like odds to win the Super Bowl, timely odds like what will Brett
    Favre do (stay retired, return with Packers, return with other team),
    and fun odds like will Pacman Jones be seen in a strip club in Dallas
    within (0-3 months, 6-9 months, etc).

    You may have seen some of our odds on AOL Fanhouse, ESPN Hashmarks,
    Shutdown Corner, or many other places.

    Anyway, I was hopeful to get your direct email to send you the
    odds/props when I have them.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    I am a rabid, obsessive Bear fan, much like yourself. And since I am from the northeast, I agree, modern technology has allowed my obsession to only grow and grow; like the advent of crack cocaine in the 80s. Anyway…I love your blog. Great writing. And of course, great subject matter.

    Thanks, jc. I hope you’ll continue to read regularly.
