madlithuanian Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 http://www.bearshistory.com/sidelines/chicagohoneybears.aspx I ran into this and found it interesting... I guess I knew it, but really wanted to confirm the McCaskey's killed it off...not Papa Bear. Dang do I dislike that family... We should start a petition to bring back the Honey Bears! Grouchy, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouchy, any ideas? I wrote asking about this travesty and I had no response. I even volunteered my services as head consultant and judge. Go figure ! I even told them I knew of some fine individuals from this site who could help like yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 A travesty indeed! Let's await the feedback here and see how we should proceed!

DaBearSox Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 never gonna happen....For one we have a cold weather outdoor stadium and for 2 the McCaskeys will never bring them back....the problem with the organization is that they are only concerned with making money...however much PR a cheerleading squad would provide the bears it wont make them anymore money...

What crud... never gonna happen....For one we have a cold weather outdoor stadium and for 2 the McCaskeys will never bring them back....the problem with the organization is that they are only concerned with making money...however much PR a cheerleading squad would provide the bears it wont make them anymore money...

chitownman Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I actually went to high school with one of the last Honey Bears and think that Mickey McCaskey was an idiot back then for removing them from the team because he felt that they distracted from the team. Any way to get the ladies to return to reaffirm that we are the best franchise, I am all for it. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madlithuanian Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Seems quite possible. I just figure any bad thing that points at the McCaskeys probably has merit...

nfoligno Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I have a friend who I watch games w/. He is in the media, and actually knows quite a few people on the team, as well as others around the league. I always give him grief because he is/was tight w/ Wanny. He has actually sat and had dinner w/ members of the McCaskey family. Anyway, he has always said Virginia is the driving force. Basically, while Halas said the girls would be around as long as he lived, I get the sense the opposite is true w/ Virginia. The girls are out as long as she lives. When Virginia dies (God forbid), that will be the ultimate test I suppose. By the way. Last Bear SB was the final season of the Honey Bears. Maybe Ryan leaving and all the other reasons mentioned are not way we didn't repeate, and have stunk since. Maybe it is a Honey Bears curse.

madlithuanian Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Interesting! Well, I'm happy to wait as long as it takes... But maybe I can be so inspired to start an on-line petition regardless. We'll see...the odds are about as good as Miami winning the Sb this year. Ha! You never know!

butkusrules Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I had always heard it was Virginia who didn't like the Honey Bears and wanted them gone. I heard the same thing, Virginia is a real live feminist. I don't know how taking jobs away from women is helping that cause but thats her prerogative I guess.

madlithuanian Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 She married a McCaskey...her judgment should be in some question...
