Won a Dick Butkus Jersey Today

Today started off trying to find a better location to watch the Bears game with other Chicago Bears fans because the Cardinals game was on at the same time and I didn't want to watch one muted tv. We had eaten previously at Jimmy's of Chicago in the past and decided to stop by. There was a big banner outside about raffling off jerseys during the games and inside was fillin up with Chicago natives... Yup my kinda place - mi familia.

So the raffle worked like this: every item you buy you get a raffle ticket. Well both Amy and I had breakfast then a few beers each and then some lunch later on. Needless to say we had accumulated a few tickets. First quarter raffle goes down, we win a set of six Stella Artois glasses! Nice! Yeah we won that too :)

The Bears ended up winning and the final raffle was called... a moment passes and Amy screams! I'll be damned... We won a Bears jersey!! Choices were two throwback jerseys, Payton and Butkus and an orange Peppers jersey. Went OG Grid Iron style and chose the Dick Butkus jersey. I mean come on, he's one of the Greats, one of the best that ever played the game. Payton, love you too man but gotta go with the 51 on that call.

But the ultimate win here is this: The Bears won 27-20 against the Cowboys IN Dallas and for the fact that tomorrow is our 2nd Anniversary (awwwhh).

Overall it was a good Sunday. Go Bears! And Thanks again to Jimmy's of Chicago in Gilbert Az!
