, that ticked me off.
What's really ticking me off are the people who think they can rip my card apart.
As they slam it over and over through these strip readers.
You know what, you can type the number in, you lazy jerks.
And if you tear up that card, I'm going to be really pissed.
I told a woman today who was snarling as the banged the card repeatedly through a machine that we were going to have a problem.
Why Do the Chicago Bears Wear Navy Blue and Orange Uniforms?
George Halas founded the Decatur Staleys in 1920 and moved the team to Chicago a year later, renaming the team the Chicago Bears. The name change was to coincide with the Chicago Cubs, the baseball team that allowed them to play at Wrigley Field. The Bears have been a staple in the NFL with their navy blue and orange uniforms. It wasn’t always that way.
Who was George Halas?
George Halas was a football player, coach, and owner. He founded the Chicago Bears and was also a Major League Baseball player for the New York Yankees. Halas, however, was widely known for his ties with the Bears, earning the nickname Papa Bear.
Halas had four different stints as coach of the Chicago Bears. He was not only the coach of the team in the early going, but he was also a wide receiver and a defensive end. Halas is an eight-time NFL champion. He was named AP NFL Coach of the Year in 1963 and 1965.
After Halas retired from coaching, he remained as principal owner of the Bears. He was the first coach to get to 200 and 300 victories. In 40 years of coaching, Halas had just six losing seasons. He finished his coaching career with a record of 324-151-31. The George Halas Trophy is awarded to the champion of the NFC.

The Chicago Bears were founded in September of 1920. They have become one of the most prominent franchises in the NFL. Chicago has won a total of nine NFL Championships, including a Super Bowl during the 1985 season when the Bears defeated the New England Patriots 46-10.
The Bears were a dominant football team under head coach George Halas in the early years of their existence. The Bears won eight NFL Championships under Halas, but have been up-and-down since. After Halas, the Bears have gone 467-460-11. Their overall record, postseason included, since their inception is 791-611-42.
The Bears hold the record for most players enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Bears also have the most retired jersey numbers and also have the most wins in NFL history. Their last divisional championship came in 2018.
Why do the Chicago Bears wear navy blue and orange?
When the Chicago Bears played the Minnesota Vikings in 2019, they wore some funky throwback uniforms from 1936 to honor their 100 years of being in the league. Had they worn the uniforms they had in 1920 – exactly 100 years ago -there would have been zero resemblance to Chicago Bears football.
According to The Chicago Tribune, back in that 1920 season, the uniforms were red with gold highlights. They remained red and gold until 1923. The switch to blue and orange was made by then-owner and head coach George Halas. Halas’ inspiration for making the color switch came from his ties to the University of Illinois, which had those same colors.
Halas attended the University of Illinois and played football, baseball, and basketball. He played a big role in guiding the school to the Big Ten football title in 1918.

She went on to collect a total of 548 singles match wins, while her haul of 43 career singles titles is the 12th-most in WTA history.

In a further testament to her extraordinary career, Hingis has announced her retirement while currently co-ranked World No.1 in doubles with Chinese Taipei’s Chan Yung-Jan, with whom she has won nine titles this year.

She will certainly be missed on our tour and with her accomplishments of holding the WTA No.1 ranking for 209 Weeks, 5 Grand Slam singles titles, 13 Grand Slam doubles titles and over 93 WTA singles and doubles titles she will be remembered as one of the greatest players to have played the game.”

It was in 2016 that the Japanese wrestler signed with WWE, but he has become very much admired and celebrate more than a good number of other wrestlers who have been with WWE while he was still an amateur wrestler.
Assuming the professional wrestler is one of such individuals who have a thing for celebrating their birth anniversaries, Shinsuke would be marking every 24th day of February. That was the date he was born, the year was 1980 and the place of birth was in Mineyama, Kyoto, Japan. However, the superstar currently resides in the United States of America; precisely, in Florida’s city – Orlando.
Quite unfortunate, our efforts to uncover the facts concerning the early days of the wrestler’s life which have been overshadowed by his eventful career has so far been unsuccessful. We traced the beginning of Nakamura’s professional wrestling career to 2002 when he reigned as one of the most phenomenal wrestlers in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). A number of factors facilitated his triumphs at NJPW but his ring action which is a blend of fast fierce smacks and strikes combined with submission holds helped him a great deal to get almost all of his opponents vanquished.
“The King of Strong Style” as he’s called, moved on from NJPW in style. He didn’t only emerge as the
