Merry Christmas, Chicago — Big Sal's Got a Present for the Bears

Merry Christmas, Chicago — Big Sal's Got a Present for the Bears

Author: AC Sports May 18, 2026 Duration: 7:38

Big Sal has something to say about the NFL scheduling the Packers at Soldier Field on Christmas Day. On Netflix. At
noon. Against the Bears.

He's not happy about the disrespect. He's not happy about Ben Johnson's mouth. He's not happy about the league handing
Chicago a national stage after one lucky wild card comeback where the Packers led 21-3 and somehow lost. What he IS
happy about — deliriously, dangerously happy about — is that the NFL just handed Green Bay the perfect stage to shove
that collapse right back down Chicago's throat on the holiest day of the year.

The bears are paper tigers with good timing once. Micah Parsons is in Green Bay now. December 25th, Soldier Field, the
whole country watching. Big Sal is calling it early: that's not a gift for Chicago. That's a setup. Merry Christmas, Ben
Johnson. You earned this one.
