"Halas would provide food according to how we had fared against the Packers. If we won, it was steaks for everybody. But if we lost, we were lucky to be served hamburgers." --Harlan Hill, 1950s "I didn't have any particular grievance with any of the Packer players, I just wanted to beat them all." --Hall of Famer Doug Atkins, 1960s "Doug Buffone took me aside to tell me about Green Bay games . . . to set me straight about the importance of the rivalry. It definitely was not a game to be taken for granted." --Brian Baschnagel, 1970s "Each year at the start of the season, fans we'd meet would just have the one request--please beat Green Bay." --Jim Flanigan, 1990s

Pages : 284
Book Description
Our greatest battle is the war within us. A land of paradise, a world of wonder, buried deep in the enchanted forest, nestled at the foothills of the mountains, a dream came true. A vision his grandfather had for quite some time of such a beautiful and bountiful place, one to call home. This is a story of family and friends that shared the sweetness of love and touched the hard core of survival. As a cub, Little Guh experienced fun and adventure as well as growing pains. He was stricken with hardship at a young age that placed him in a dismal state of mind, with his biggest challenge yet to come. He now had a critical choice to make, one that would impact everyone around him. Life lessons taught him well to love and hope, whether he understood or not; to be kind; to press on and persevere against the odds; turn weakness to strength; and search to find the things that make a difference. He learned in its truest form that life stood still for no one. Little Guh found what mattered most was to face his fears. To overcome and conquer and answer the calling was the difference in life or death. He found that not all things were taught, but some things would come as a gift from deep inside. The truth in his heart would set him free and strengthen his love for family, friends, and home. It is best expressed in his grandfather's words: "the roar of a bear is the roar of truth," A season of love will last forever. Love Bears All

Bears by the Numbers
Author: Lew Freedman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1683581040
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
What do Al Campana, Frank Dempsey, Stan Wallace, Don Mullins, Gale Sayers, and Steve Trimble all have in common? They all wore number 40 for the Chicago Bears, even though more than four decades passed between the last time Campana last pulled on his jersey and the number was retired for Sayers in 1994 (along with 51 for Dick Butkus). Since the Chicago Bears first adopted uniform numbers in 1932, the team has handed out only 99 numbers to more than 1,000 players. That’s a lot of overlap. It also makes for a lot of good stories. Bears by the Numbers tells those stories for every Bear since ’32, from Red Grange to Pernell McPhee. This book lists the players alphabetically and by number; these biographies help trace the history of one of football’s oldest and most beloved teams in a new way. For Bears fans, anyone who ever wore the uniform is like family. Bears by the Numbers reintroduces readers to some of their long-lost ancestors, even those they think they already know.

Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
He was headed for a silver mine when they made him sheriff—now the hapless gunslinger might be headed for an early grave in this Western series. There are a lot of ways a man can end up on a wanted poster, but no one’s done it quite like Dooley Monahan. On the trail west, he stops a bear from making lunch of the legendary Buffalo Bill Cody. In turn, Cody grubstakes Dooley for the purchase of a silver mine in Leadville, Colorado. Dooley can’t believe his good luck. But when he guns down three deadly outlaws, the grateful townsfolk pin a sheriff’s badge on him. And that’s when Dooley’s luck runs out . . . Turns out there’s a war going on between two rival gangs. Stagecoaches are being robbed every other day, and fingers are being pointed at Dooley himself. There’s a tradition here in these parts, he discovers. If a sheriff’s no good, they hang him. And if the next one’s no better, they hang him twice.

Book Description
During a visit to her hometown of Braxton, Skye and her friends are kidnapped from their hangout at a local park. They wake up in an attic, unsure where they are, how they got there, and who is responsible. It doesn't take Skye long to realize that their abductor is John Brooks, Braxton’s top detective. He is also the mystery man she’s been dreaming about for the past four years. Unlike her friends, Skye can’t bring herself to hate him. Instead, she finds comfort and stability in him. He is her shelter from a troubled past. And as they grow closer, she learns that he’s been having dreams about her too. All the psychology textbooks would say their relationship is a product of Stockholm syndrome. But Skye thinks they’re soulmates who have been brought together under unusual circumstances. The only question is, how far will they go to protect their love in a world that considers it twisted and wrong?

Book Description
The Preacher dispenses some American-made justice in this avalanche of Western adventure from the national bestselling authors of the Sidewinders series. A fur trapper by trade, Preacher can smell a bad deal from any direction no matter how well it’s disguised. It wasn’t always that way—he’s got the scars to prove it. Now he’s ready to pass on his deadly survival skills to a boy named Hawk, who just might be his son . . . Preacher and Hawk ride out of the Rockies and into St. Louis, loaded with furs. It’s Hawk’s first trip to civilization and the moment he lays eyes on young Chessie Dayton he’s lost in more ways than one. When Chessie unwisely signs on for a gold-hungry expedition into the lawless mountains, Hawk convinces Preacher to trail the outfit because they’re all headed straight to the sacred Indian grounds known as the Black Hills—a land of no return. To come out of it alive a lot of people will have to die. And Preacher’s going to need a heap of bullets for this journey into hell . . . Praise for the novels of William W.
