He put his stamp on the team in the offseason by the way he can pick out players. Emery came a long way from a naval academy to being a conditioning coach to becoming the owner of a franchise. Emery chose all of his players based on all the tape he gets from the seasons before. Emery says that “he wants to see how hard the players are going to work and if they are going to take plays off or if they are going to go hard every play(King).” This will help with the success of the Bears. One of the players Emery chose was Brandon Marshall, who used to play for the Broncos. Emery traded two of his third round picks to get Marshall because he worked hard every play and he could catch about anything that was thrown at him. Another receiver that Emery thought looked like a hard worker was South Carolina’s Alshon Jeffery. Jeffery has a very good amount of talent. He is 6 foot 3 inches tall, and can catch a football really well. In the offseason, the general manager for the Bears made bids for the former saints left tackle, Jermon Bushrod, to help with the line(Klemko). In 2012, Bryan Urlacher said that he was retiring later that year. Emery wanted him to stay a little longer so he offered Urlacher a one year two million dollar free-agent contract, but he declined the offer and retired like he said later that year.

Rooting for the underdog is special, and that is why Cub fans are so loyal. The history, players, and stories of Chicago Cubs Baseball are the reasons why it is an important part of Illinois history.

Over the course of the 1921 and 22 seasons, the Packers underwent a transformation where they replaced most of their local talent with players from big-time colleges or other pro teams.As a result, they were highly competitive on the field from the beginning and, in turn, able to establish a firm foothold within the league. “In 1927, when the NFL decided to cut its franchises almost in half and eliminate many of its smaller cities, Green Bay survived ,Then before the 1929 season, They hit the jackpot.”While the Packers were in the process of winning the 1931 championship, they also were blindsided by what could have been a Disastrous event. “In their second game against the Brooklyn Dodgers, a local fan, Willard J.
