Here is trivia for next week's opponent: The Chicago Bears
1. What is the Browns/Bears all time head to head record?
Here goes the math again... we arrived in 1950... opposite divisions.. played every four uears through '66... tha's 4 games
'67 thru '69 four divisions... prolly one more game.
'70 brought merger and 6 divisions with opposite conferences... game every three years thru 2001... minus 1 for our absense... say 10
'02 brought the 8 division reallignment... once every four years now... so 2 more with #3 coming up...
So game total guess is 4+1+10+2= 17...Except for the 80's we've been the better team.
Best Guess ====================================================================> 12-5

Halas actually played for them... It's his #7 you saw on the inflatable tunnel at tonite's game.
Willie Galimore's #?? may be retired as well (his fine career was cut short when he was killed in an car accident in the mid-60's)...
