This year has wrapped up like no other! 1/
Merchants of the Right with @PrincetonUPress comes out on May 2, a book that only exists because the world got turned upside down and I did what I always do in crisis: go back to my sociology basics. 2/
Then: I found out yesterday that I pass the bar for full professor! 🎉🎉🎉 3/ Image

Fumble return touchdowns! A backup QB! 4th quarter comebacks!

World Series heroics?

Here is the true story of two wild weeks at Soldier Field, and the iconic playmaking of a man Bears fans love.

The magical, the memorable, the magnificent.

The Mike Brown Games.

A thread. ImageImage
In consecutive weeks in 2001, Oct. 28 & Nov. 4, the great Mike Brown delivered two of the most memorable plays in Bears history: a pair of walkoff OT interceptions.

These TDs fueled that great 2001 season, and shared connections to memorable Bears games before and after. ImageImage
While Mike Brown's career was far more than just two plays in two weeks, these plays epitomized what we all loved about #30: leadership, instincts, joy, winning games and the flair for the moment.

Here he is discussing them in 2019 with @JeffJoniak.

I was talking to a Bears fan friend today after the press conference, discussing the basis for Bears fan fury, and it led me to look at some key numbers of the past 25 years comparing us, the Packers, and the Lions. And frankly, we're closer to being the Lions than the Packers.
I summed up my personal Bears frustration with this, but even that wasn’t quite right, because no one is the Patriots. I’d settle for being a millionaire in this scenario, and that’s Green Bay.
I know we all got annoyed when Lions fans tried to equate a six-game winning streak to the entire damn history of our two franchises. That was a ballsy maneuver for one of only two clubs from prior to the Super Bowl era that has never been to a Super Bowl.

But they had a point.
