IT'S CHICAGO, YEAH 🗣️ The Bears erase an 18-point deficit to win their first playoff game since 2010.
BEAR DOWN BABY 🥶🥶🥶 That's why you stay up until 4:30am to watch your team This team is made of something very different to the Chicago Bears I've known. We've been waiting decades for this 🐻

We're working on a Star Wars game. Not just that, but a Star Wars racing game, made by the minds behind Burnout and Need For Speed. Insane. It's already been a brilliant journey with the @fusegames.bsky.social team, and can't wait to go through the gears with them 🚀 #TheGameAwards

Not sure I've ever seen a head coach win in spite of their team more than Ben Johnson with the Bears. We'd be like 1-7 without him as HC He's in full 'do I have to do everything myself around here?' mode #NFL
Heading home from Liverpool after a successful FORMAT with @wearesecretmode.com! Lots of lovely feedback for our games, and good vibes led by @allthefawkes.bsky.social 👾
Before Forza Horizon, there was DiRT 3. Still the greatest vibe in a racing game. Minimalist menus. Grounded yet almost mystical at times. A game you wanna hang out in. Playing for the first time in nearly 10 years and looks/plays as good as any racer today IMO
JOB, DONE 💪 Three runs this year for @specialeffect.org.uk, ending today with a PB at the Oxford Half Marathon. More importantly, £500 raised for an incredible charity. Thank you everyone who donated and supported ❤️ #charity #running

The Ryder Cup this year is a great example of this mad thing about spectator sports, where hurling abuse at players is seen as totally acceptable. Why? Pantomime banter, jabs in good spirit, sure. But why do sportspeople have to put up with genuine hate and abuse? It’s sport. Grow up.
“As a boy I dreamt of playing at Old Trafford and having those songs sung about me. I just didn’t know they’d be sung to me on a golf course” 🏟️ Rory McIlroy, a lifelong United fan, on what it’s meant for him to hear fans celebrate him with football chants at the Ryder Cup.

Giving up a touchdown before halftime is what bad teams do Giving up a touchdown before halftime via a circus catch, assuming time has expired, literally walking to the locker room, coming back, then allowing an easy TD pass, is what the Chicago Bears do BIG difference 🤌 #NFL
