September is here and that can mean several things. It means that the weather and the leaves are soon to start changing, the kiddos are back in school, you can start finding pumpkin everything in the stores, and football season is ready to begin!

What team do you cheer for during football season and what is your favorite football moment?

My favorite team is the Bears of course and my most memorable moment would have to be when the Bears won the 1985 Super Bowl against the Patriots, that was very memorable.

My favorite team is the Bears, and my most memorable moment would have to be the tailgate parties we have. We get together and have food while watching our Chicago Bears.~Ali

My favorite team is the San Francisco 49ers,  my most memorable moment would have to be when my mom and I went to a 49ers invasion tailgate party here in Chicago the day before the  49ers played  the Chicago Bears.  ~Erika

My Favorite team is the Chicago Bears, GO BEARS, I love watching the games with my friends and family. ~Bonnie H.
